This was the first video I had ever heard "gooey" instead of G U I
2:45 bro i mean i knew that ltt was fucking expensive but 70 bucks for a motherfucking screwdriver is beyond limits
Do you have to pay for it
he jumps around the video like a 5 year old who needs to take a piss
Even with an adapter, would the system be able to use a connection from an RJ11/RJ12 cable & connector?
Tells the viewer to setup firewall but tells them to auto-upload your firewall settings to google drive "😂" is all i gotta say .
I would like to build home router instead my old telstra gateway max 2 and AC1200 Seamless Wi-Fi System I want have wifi 6 or wifi 6e I want get rid of AC1200 Seamless Wi-Fi System and telstra gateway max 2 router the telstra gateway max 2 is a router not a modem.
Im think Intel i5 processor

Welcome to the 3rd world my north americans friends.
My ISP router has been running for 4 years now and I haven't had any problems with it whatsoever.
Are there any good guides to make your own LTE 4G/5G router? I need to find a good SIM card reader for pc
I have a SonicWall firewall at home and a Buisniess switch(I think). This video was great❤
Their sponsor ads are longer then their tutorial.
DIY GPS+satellites ?
This looks like a fun project and setup. However, you just spent like $300 to do the job of a $100 or less Wi-Fi router. 🙂
Would this work if I'm out in the woods with no internet but do have electricity? And does it have to stay on or can I relocate it and it still work perfectly
iss this one of those videos you wish you had more time to finish?
but, what happens if, i use a router in place of the switch? i mean, connect the lan port of the diy router to the wan port of the router, would it work?
