Ethernet and your Home Network - learn it and expand it!

In this video we will continue our examination of what is on your network but with an eye towards understanding your cabling. It turns out that you do not have to know everything about Ethernet to build a small network but there are certainly some items that are good to know such as the kind of cable to use.

But, we will also discover there are some inexpensive and really cool ways to expand your network, gain a higher number of ports or extend your footprint!

If you are determined to know more technical details about Ethernet here are a couple of network engineer-ish videos:
