It’s not hard to wire up a house with a mesh network. A little more work to wire it up with ethernet. Not especially expensive, especially compared to new building materials. Can’t say if that’s why OP thinks the author sucks but I definitely think this piece ain’t great
Hmm. I just moved into a new house in SoCal, and I’m not having any of the problems he describes. In fact I’d describe the installation of my symmetric 2gbps fiber connection as very clean, and WiFi propagation has been excellent.
I’m not ecstatic that the router they provided is an Amazon eero, but I could replace that myself if I wanted.
What a bunch of ignorant, industry shilling, bullshit. If that guys a tech journalist, he should be replaced by ai.
Speaking as someone with an 80 year old house, with really dense materials like concrete, plaster, steel rebar and lathe work, you people in modern homes have no idea how transparent to WiFi your house already is.
Damn that’s a simple structured wiring box. Is that really the best he can do for claiming it’s complex. He needs to offer someone technical a case of beer to spend an hour tidying it up.
WiFi? That’s your idea of “digital infrastructure “ that needs to be modernized. Holy shot there are so many more important things, even if you limit yourself to digital infrastructure
