Hard-Wire Gang! Wi-Fi is Cringe!

Looking to set up your home network? Look no further than this book.

Even if you're already a networking pro like me, this book is still an enjoyable read.

Miller's writing style is engaging and the content is easy to follow.

The book covers all the basics of home networking and gives great advice on how to hard-wire your network for maximum speed and security.

As someone who has recently moved, I found this book to be a valuable resource for getting my new home network up and running smoothly.

So whether you're a networking newbie or a seasoned pro, I highly recommend checking out this book. It's well worth your time and attention.

If your a novice when it comes to computers and networking then this book
will be a big help to you. For me though this book provided me with no information
I already know.

This book will show any Networking novice how to set up an home network and also
how to keep it secure(which in my opinion is the most important).

So if you are looking to set-up a home network and need a little help then this
book will give you some usefull advice and tips.
