apalrds adventures | The ULTIMATE Guide to Fiber Optic Home Networking @apalrdsadventures | Uploaded May 2023 | Updated October 2024, 19 hours ago.
Do you have a need to extend your home network around your property? Maybe you want reliable internet in the shed you turned into a work-from-home office, or your garage or workshop? Today I'm going to explain what you need to run fiber optic newtorking around your home and property on a budget, for high bandwidth and low latency networking. Fiber doesn't have any issues with lightning or electrical potential changes between buildings, and can handle much higher bandwidth with higher reliability than wifi mesh or point to point systems.
It's not as expensive as you think to run fiber in your network!
Need to hide the traffic from your homelab or avoid geo-locking? Try Private Internet Access with my link for a special deal: piavpn.com/apalrd
