  • 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

  • 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
    16gb ddr5
    NVME storage compared ssd or hdd as storage
    Not sure which motherboard to choose for i5 cpu I would like wifi 6 or 6e motherboard do I really need a workstation motherboard or no

  • I did this same thing build my own router my electric bill was 60$ a month before and now its 211$

  • You should check out the qnap QSW-2104-2S. Has 2 10gb sfp+ ports and 4 2.5Gbe ports for $129

  • 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❤

  • 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?
