Become A "Home IT Guru" With My FREE Home IT Handbook
Consider this. Your home Internet connection provides you with access to shopping, banking, entertainment, socializing, school, and even work. Since much of your life revolves around your home network shouldn’t home networking become a common skill like home maintenance and basic car repair? Sadly, most people would rather avoid technical learning curves. I get it! I know how painful flipping through two-inch-thick tech manuals can be.
That’s why I created an easy-to-follow step-by-step guide on how to set up a home network from scratch. Not just any home network but an Awesome Home Network with file sharing, backups, remote control, VPN access, a NAS, IP cameras, network printing, and more. With my Home IT Handbook, you can have the same mastery of your home network that the IT Guy does at work. It’s FREE so why not check it out and go from “Computer Novice” to “Home IT Guru?”

What's The Best Wireless Router?
I get asked this question a lot. My answer is always the same, “That depends on your situation.” I say. The fact is there is no single “best wireless router” for everyone, just like there is no single “best car” for everyone. Everyone has individual needs, interests, and different-sized homes. That’s why I like to separate wireless routers into three common categories:
Wireless Routers Under $100
If money is a concern it’s possible to find a great wireless router for under $100. Features such as dual bands, USB ports for file and printer sharing, Gigabit switch ports, QoS, and advanced WiFi security have all become standard in most routers. Now even more advanced features such as MU-MIMO support and Beamforming can be found on many affordable routers.
Long Range Wireless Routers
There are different approaches to getting maximum WiFi coverage in a large home. In our section on large homes, we discuss extenders, Powerline, Mesh, and brute-forcing it with long-range wireless routers. The best solution depends on the layout of your home and your budget.
Best Wireless Routers For Gaming
The demands of video streaming and online gaming can drag a wireless network down quickly if you’re router doesn’t have enough horsepower to handle it. It’s times like this when Tri-Band support, QOS, and multiple, fast processors come into play. Several wireless router manufacturers have stepped up to the plate and designed awesome wireless routers for gaming.
Routers Under $100
Quality and performance at an affordable price.
Long Range Routers
Long range capabilities for larger homes
Gaming Routers

Who Is The WiFi Guy?
They call me “Jerry” or “JJ.” I’ve been a Tech Support Technician for over 25 years. I’m also a regular guy who likes sports, good food, cracking jokes, and hanging out with friends. In my day-to-day life, I enjoy making technology more understandable for people. I love being there when the “light goes on” and a person suddenly “gets it.” Learning computer networking opened a whole new world for me and I’d like to share that world with my subscribers and everyone who downloads my Free eBook.
WiFi Guy.net is not just another “shopping site.” It’s designed to help you find the right technology for your situation without overspending. The Home IT Handbook takes it a step further by helping you set it all up. Soon I’ll be cranking out home networking videos on my Youtube Channel to compliment both. Please use my Contact page for any feedback or requests. Thanks for visiting! – JJ (WiFi Guy)
