1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,279
So, this is my networking pile. It's all the things that were connecting the

2
00:00:05,759 --> 00:00:12,400
stuff in my house and some things that were honestly not doing anything at all.

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:17,199
I truly believe that the best solution for a networking setup is to have it all

4
00:00:14,719 --> 00:00:21,520
mounted on a wall, but I rent, which is probably something that a lot of you do

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:25,600
as well. Because I rent, I can't dictate what I can screw into my wall very

6
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:29,439
easily, at least very destructively. and screwing a whole bunch of things into

7
00:00:27,279 --> 00:00:33,120
one small area is something my landlord would probably be pretty pissed about.

8
00:00:31,359 --> 00:00:38,160
So, I don't really have that as an option. But what I can do is get a big

9
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:42,239
piece of board, mount everything onto this, and then lean this up to the wall.

10
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:46,160
So, that's what I'm going to do. I'm tired of this giant pile of networking

11
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:54,879
crap, and I'm going to solve the problem.

12
00:00:54,879 --> 00:01:01,120
Corsair claims unrivaled comfort and universal compatibility on its new Void

13
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:05,040
Surround headset featuring a genuine Dolby 7.1 headphone USB adapter. Click

14
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:10,640
the link in the video description to learn more. I'm just going to get all these Ethernet cables out of the way.

15
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:14,799
So, basically how all my things need to work is the internet needs to come in

16
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:19,200
through the fiber line to my modem, then go over to the router, which has

17
00:01:17,119 --> 00:01:25,119
terrible Wi-Fi that always drops all the time. So, we'll then go from the router

18
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:27,600
to my access point and from the router

19
00:01:25,119 --> 00:01:31,840
to my switch because this also obviously doesn't have enough plugs. I need way

20
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:36,720
more than four. So, all of this needs to go onto the board along with a power bar

21
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:40,640
so they can all be actually powered. I also want to label all of the adapters

22
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:44,240
so I know where they're going. And I have some stuff lying around which I'll

23
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:49,119
get to in a moment in terms of managing all the cables once they're on the board. So, now we need to work on

24
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:52,079
layout. Okay, so this is what I have to work

25
00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:57,040
with. I'm going to want to cut this down to size with a circular saw eventually,

26
00:01:54,320 --> 00:02:01,360
but um I'm just going to lay everything out starting on one side, see how far

27
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:07,520
along I have to go, mark that off, and cut it. And this will send a whole bunch

28
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,599
out. Okay, so this is more or less what

29
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:14,800
I want to do. I need to take the leg off of this. I need to try to find a shorter

30
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:19,840
power cable for this, and I need to hopefully crimp up some shorter Ethernet

31
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:25,120
cables. Okay, so first things first, I'm going to go through my router and

32
00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:29,280
carefully remove the warranty void if removed stickers. Who am I kidding? I'm

33
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:34,319
just going to go right through. So, the gloss on this DLink router is just

34
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:39,360
absolutely disgusting. Almost as disgusting as its Wi-Fi capabilities.

35
00:02:36,959 --> 00:02:44,480
So, I'm going to try to scratch it and make it not look glossy anymore. Now I

36
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:49,599
need to do a whole bunch of cable routing and try to find some shorter

37
00:02:46,239 --> 00:02:52,000
cables and stuff. So with that, we'll be

38
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:56,720
back. So I went about trying to make my own Ethernet cables. I made one of them

39
00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:01,519
really well pretty quickly and then the whole rest of it was basically one giant

40
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:06,640
unmitigated disaster. So Linus solved that problem by finding cables of all

41
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:12,080
the right lengths already made. So I'm just going to use those and start on

42
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:16,480
actually velcroing things down. Okay, so I did some boring busy work.

43
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:21,760
I've velcroed down the router, the access point, and the modem, the power

44
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:28,159
bar, and these two power adapters. They look a little bit wibbly, but everything

45
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:31,200
is fine. Um, I need to cut the board

46
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:33,360
now. I'm going to circular saw the board

47
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:36,920
and then use the rest of this board as my networking board.

48
00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:43,640
Okay, so next up I have to fix this

49
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:49,360
switch to the board. This gu is a little heavy. Okay, so my idea of drilling

50
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:54,040
through it will not work because I don't want bolts like way up here on the

51
00:03:52,159 --> 00:04:00,239
outside of it. But Velcro

52
00:03:56,599 --> 00:04:03,599
dog, what's up? We used a lot of it.

53
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:06,640
It's expensive. Thanks, Lionus. Oh my

54
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:10,319
god, I didn't check the cable length.

55
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:12,720
Wow, that's pretty close. Okay, now I

56
00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:19,759
really need to start organizing cables. Okay, so let's start off with some

57
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:19,759
slightly larger cable

58
00:04:25,639 --> 00:04:30,880
loops. Ah, so the force of the drill

59
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:35,400
actually pushes it through. So I can use those washers. That will solve my

60
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,400
problem.

61
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:48,479
So, all the Ethernet cables are good and tied down. You might notice that there's

62
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:52,400
nothing going into the switch from the outside. Well, that kind of makes sense

63
00:04:49,919 --> 00:04:55,440
cuz I'm not at home right now. Um, and those ones aren't really going to be

64
00:04:53,759 --> 00:05:00,479
able to be managed. So, that's a little bit unfortunate. But, at least I have

65
00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:04,720
all the networking kit itself all managed and good to go. So that if I did

66
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:08,400
need to ever pick it up and move for whatever reason, I would just unplug the

67
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:11,520
devices from it, take this whole board, and then I'm good to go, which is pretty

68
00:05:09,919 --> 00:05:14,479
cool. And if I need to swap anything out, it's just velcroed

69
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:20,560
on this way. It doesn't really look like I crossed the

70
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:29,199
cable. All right, so we're done. This is

71
00:05:24,919 --> 00:05:31,520
it. It's not absolutely perfect, but I

72
00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:37,840
like it. I think it's good. Um, I went and played a full ice hockey

73
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:39,360
game in this clothing during this shot.

74
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:43,360
There you go. I didn't even like This is the shirt I was wearing, so that's kind

75
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:47,440
of weird. Ting is the mobile carrier that's focused on customer service and

76
00:05:45,039 --> 00:05:50,800
customer satisfaction first. Don't speak to a robot. They put you directly

77
00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:55,440
through to a person, and you only pay for what you use. The average Ting bill

78
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:59,680
is only $24 a month per device. If you're stuck in a contract, they'll help

79
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:04,039
you switch over to TING by covering 25% of your cancellation fee up to $75. So,

Anyways, thanks for watching. If you guys are inspired and want to make your

84
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:24,960
own like ghetto networking wall because you can't make a cool networking wall

85
00:06:22,639 --> 00:06:28,639
because you don't own your own house, please post it on the lines.com forum.

86
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:32,240
That would be awesome. I would love to check out how you make yours so much

87
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,360
better than mine. So, that would be cool. If you like the video, like it. If
