NOTE: This is a work in progress…I’ll add more info whenever possible.
Since I started this blog about networking a home for all of us normal families I thought it would be appropriate to post what I am using in my own home - I live in a 19th century 3 story Victorian with my wife, son and daughter. I will try to keep this up to date.
This list is not yet complete, and I plan to elaborate on how I use each item.
