00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.279
So, this is my networking pile. It's all the things that were connecting the

00:00:05.759 --> 00:00:12.400
stuff in my house and some things that were honestly not doing anything at all.

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:17.199
I truly believe that the best solution for a networking setup is to have it all

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

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

00:00:23.680 --> 00:00:29.439
easily, at least very destructively. and screwing a whole bunch of things into

00:00:27.279 --> 00:00:33.120
one small area is something my landlord would probably be pretty pissed about.

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

00:00:36.160 --> 00:00:42.239
piece of board, mount everything onto this, and then lean this up to the wall.

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

00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:54.879
crap, and I'm going to solve the problem.

00:00:54.879 --> 00:01:01.120
Corsair claims unrivaled comfort and universal compatibility on its new Void

00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:05.040
Surround headset featuring a genuine Dolby 7.1 headphone USB adapter. Click

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.

00:01:08.960 --> 00:01:14.799
So, basically how all my things need to work is the internet needs to come in

00:01:12.320 --> 00:01:19.200
through the fiber line to my modem, then go over to the router, which has

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

00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:27.600
to my access point and from the router

00:01:25.119 --> 00:01:31.840
to my switch because this also obviously doesn't have enough plugs. I need way

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

00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:40.640
so they can all be actually powered. I also want to label all of the adapters

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

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

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:52.079
layout. Okay, so this is what I have to work

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,

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

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

00:02:04.520 --> 00:02:09.599
out. Okay, so this is more or less what

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

00:02:12.640 --> 00:02:19.840
power cable for this, and I need to hopefully crimp up some shorter Ethernet

00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:25.120
cables. Okay, so first things first, I'm going to go through my router and

00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:29.280
carefully remove the warranty void if removed stickers. Who am I kidding? I'm

00:02:27.760 --> 00:02:34.319
just going to go right through. So, the gloss on this DLink router is just

00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:39.360
absolutely disgusting. Almost as disgusting as its Wi-Fi capabilities.

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

00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:49.599
need to do a whole bunch of cable routing and try to find some shorter

00:02:46.239 --> 00:02:52.000
cables and stuff. So with that, we'll be

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

00:02:54.560 --> 00:03:01.519
really well pretty quickly and then the whole rest of it was basically one giant

00:02:59.040 --> 00:03:06.640
unmitigated disaster. So Linus solved that problem by finding cables of all

00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:12.080
the right lengths already made. So I'm just going to use those and start on

00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:16.480
actually velcroing things down. Okay, so I did some boring busy work.

00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:21.760
I've velcroed down the router, the access point, and the modem, the power

00:03:19.440 --> 00:03:28.159
bar, and these two power adapters. They look a little bit wibbly, but everything

00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:31.200
is fine. Um, I need to cut the board

00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:33.360
now. I'm going to circular saw the board

00:03:31.200 --> 00:03:36.920
and then use the rest of this board as my networking board.

00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:43.640
Okay, so next up I have to fix this

00:03:40.720 --> 00:03:49.360
switch to the board. This gu is a little heavy. Okay, so my idea of drilling

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

00:03:52.159 --> 00:04:00.239
outside of it. But Velcro

00:03:56.599 --> 00:04:03.599
dog, what's up? We used a lot of it.

00:04:00.239 --> 00:04:06.640
It's expensive. Thanks, Lionus. Oh my

00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:10.319
god, I didn't check the cable length.

00:04:06.640 --> 00:04:12.720
Wow, that's pretty close. Okay, now I

00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:19.759
really need to start organizing cables. Okay, so let's start off with some

00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:19.759
slightly larger cable

00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:30.880
loops. Ah, so the force of the drill

00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:35.400
actually pushes it through. So I can use those washers. That will solve my

00:04:32.400 --> 00:04:35.400
problem.

00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:48.479
So, all the Ethernet cables are good and tied down. You might notice that there's

00:04:46.320 --> 00:04:52.400
nothing going into the switch from the outside. Well, that kind of makes sense

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

00:04:53.759 --> 00:05:00.479
able to be managed. So, that's a little bit unfortunate. But, at least I have

00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:04.720
all the networking kit itself all managed and good to go. So that if I did

00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:08.400
need to ever pick it up and move for whatever reason, I would just unplug the

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

00:05:09.919 --> 00:05:14.479
cool. And if I need to swap anything out, it's just velcroed

00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:20.560
on this way. It doesn't really look like I crossed the

00:05:21.400 --> 00:05:29.199
cable. All right, so we're done. This is

00:05:24.919 --> 00:05:31.520
it. It's not absolutely perfect, but I

00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:37.840
like it. I think it's good. Um, I went and played a full ice hockey

00:05:34.400 --> 00:05:39.360
game in this clothing during this shot.

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

00:05:41.280 --> 00:05:47.440
of weird. Ting is the mobile carrier that's focused on customer service and

00:05:45.039 --> 00:05:50.800
customer satisfaction first. Don't speak to a robot. They put you directly

00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:55.440
through to a person, and you only pay for what you use. The average Ting bill

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

00:05:56.880 --> 00:06:04.039
you switch over to TING by covering 25% of your cancellation fee up to $75. So,

00:06:02.400 --> 00:06:08.400
head over to lionus.ing.com and try out their savings

00:06:06.400 --> 00:06:13.759
calculator. When you sign up on our link, you'll also get $25 in service

00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:16.240

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

00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:24.960
own like ghetto networking wall because you can't make a cool networking wall

00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:28.639
because you don't own your own house, please post it on the lines.com forum.

00:06:27.440 --> 00:06:32.240
That would be awesome. I would love to check out how you make yours so much

00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:35.360
better than mine. So, that would be cool. If you like the video, like it. If

would be a little weird to buy from Amazon or any other networking gear. Who

00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:52.000

Buy a cool t-shirt, one that's not completely soaked in sweat from ice

00:06:54.080 --> 00:07:00.400
hockey. And uh yeah, check out this video. Workshop video. Love workshop

00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:07.120
videos. Going to be doing more of those all the time because they're great. Go
