so this is my networking pile it's all the things that we're connecting the stuff in my house and some things that were honestly not doing anything at all I truly believe that the best solution for a networking setup is to have it all mounted on a wall but I rent which is probably something that a lot of you do as well because I rent I can't dictate what I can screw into my wall very easily at least very destructively and screwing a whole bunch of things into one small area is something my landlord would probably be pretty pissed about so I don't really have that as an option but what I can do is get a big piece of board mount everything onto this and then lean this up to the wall so that's what I'm going to do I'm tired of this giant pile of networking crap and I'm going to solve the problem coursera claims unrivaled comfort and universal compatibility on its new void surround headset featuring a genuine Dolby 7.1 headphone USB adapter click the link in the description to learn more we're going to get all these Ethernet cables out of the way so basically how all my things need to work is the internet needs to come in through the fiber line to my modem then go over to the router which has terrible Wi-Fi that always drops all the time so we'll then go from the router to my access point and from the router to my switch because this also obviously doesn't have enough plugs anyway more than four so all of this needs to go on to the board along with a power bar so they can all be actually powered I also want to label all the adapters that I know where they're going and I have some stuff lying around which I'll 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 layout okay so this is what I have to work with I'm going to want to cut this down to size of the circular saw eventually but I'm just going to lay everything out starting on one side see how far along I have to go mark that off and cut it and this will send whole bunch out okay so this is more or less what I want to do I need to take the leg off of this I need to try to find a shorter power cable for this and I need to hopefully crimp up some shorter Ethernet cables okay so first things first I'm going to go through my router and carefully remove the warranty void if removed stickers Who am I kidding I'm just going to go right through so the gloss on this d-link router is just absolutely disgusting almost as disgusting as its Wi-Fi capability so I'm going to try to scratch it and make it not look glossy anymore now I need to do a whole bunch of cable routing and try to find some shorter cables and stuff so with that we'll be back so I went about trying to make my own Ethernet cables I made one of them really well pretty quickly and then the whole rest of it was basically one giant unmitigated disaster so Linus solved that problem by finding cables of all the right lengths already made so I'm just use those and start on actually velcroing things down ok so I did some boring busy work I've velcro down the router the access point and the modem the power bar and these two power adapters they look a little bit Wibbly but everything is fine I need to cut the board now and we're going to circular saw the board and then use the rest of this board as my networking board ok so next up I have to fix this switch to the board this guy's a little heavy ok so my idea of drilling through it will not work because I don't want bolts like way up here on the outside of it but velcro dog what's up we used a lot of it it's expensive thanks Linus oh my god I didn't check the cabling Wow that's pretty close ok now I really need to start organizing cables ok so let's start off with some slightly larger cable oops Shh so the force of the drill actually pushes it through so I can use those washers that will solve my problem so all the ethernet cables are good and tied down you might notice that there's nothing going into the switch from the outside well that kind of makes sense because I'm not at home right now and those ones aren't really going to be able to be managed so that's a little bit unfortunate but at least I have all the networking kit itself all managed and good to go so that if I did need to ever pick it up and move for whatever reason I would just unplug the devices from it take this whole board and then I'm good to go which is pretty cool and if I need to swap anything out it's just velcroed on this way it doesn't really look like I cross the cable all right so we're done this is it it's not absolutely perfect but I like it I think it's good I wouldn't played a full ice hockey game in this clothing during this shot there you go I didn't even like this is the shirt I was wearing

inspired and want to make your own like Ghetto networking wall because you can't make a cool networking wall because you don't own your own house please post it on the lines tech tips comm forum that would be awesome I would love to check out how you make yours so much better than mine so that would be cool if you liked the video like it if you just like the video dislike it don't forget to get subscribe don't forget to use our Amazon affiliate code if you buy anything like wood although that would be a little weird to buy from Amazon or any other networking gear who knows whatever that's cool become a contributor on the forum while you're posting your ghetto networking walls buy a cool t-shirt one that's not completely soaked in sweat for my sake and yeah check out this video workshop video love workshop videos going to be doing more of those all the time because they're great go watch that see you later
