099 Networking Introduction

[@MatthewSwabey]

As I *think* I know this already, this is definitely the series for me - the complexity of modern networking is easy to underestimate

[@FowlerAskew]

I'm super excited for this series! At this point I know a hobby level amount about this, but I'm afraid it's that dangerous area where you can get yourself into trouble without realizing it. System administration seems like one of those fields where it's easy to not realize when you have something configured badly

[@Sticky1254]

Even as a sysadmin who's been at this for almost a decade now, networking becomes a black hole REALLY quick. Especially when you start getting into WAN engineering. Want a rabbit hole? Look at BGP and how ASs actually speak to eachother as well as how absolutely insecure it is. Super cool, but very intimidating. I have insane respect for veteran network guys.

[@flech3025]

I'm really excited for the rest of the videos in this series.

[@numbersandreality]

Perfect timing! I was going through some of the old Level1 vids to get me in the zone. This is much better :)

[@chrisd7829]

Finally, I've been waiting for a series like this forever. There's just so much information to cover its hard to narrow it down to what's good enough for a home use.

[@greganor25]

Finally, a video series targeting me very directly. An individual who can build a PC but not clean the weeds off the lawn that is my home network. I will follow with intrigue so that our new renovated house can network at FULL POWER.

[@NickMach007]

Looking forward to this series. I finally got serious this year and started a homelab. Steep learning curve, but so much cool stuff out there

[@TeddyBearKilla]

I missed me some 099, acquiring KNOWLEDGE. 1440p 60fps, I love it. Thank you.

[@seanunderscorepry]

God i love this channel ! So cool to see a new series of all three of them together.

[@davidjacob8176]

WAP joke was perfectly unexpected

[@mr.electronx9036]

booyaaa

[@BBWahoo]

So that's why Krista was in the thumbnail 😳

[@wertacus]

I almost died of laughter

[@CattoRayTube]

ty KZbin for the irony of featuring this comment, making the joke totally expected.

[@slomotrainwreck]

The 14 year old in my brain was in tears from laughing hard 😂

[@louisharkna9464]

AWESOME! The help series even The Tick can't stop! Thank goodness we're not having to deal with token ring coaxial networking, had to rip one of those out of a private school over 20 years ago to install a "modern" CAT5 10/100 network...oh crap I'm feeling old...

[@TheGameBench]

Never used the ISP crap, and I thought I was doing fine with aftermarket consumer grade equipment, but I just built my own router since I was sick of the consumer level trash. Even the nicer consumer stuff can still be obsoleted due to firmware updates. Even though it was expensive, building my own "kinda' overkill" router with two of the Unify AP's I bought, cost me about as much as two higher end Asus routers I was looking at. I have a friend and a family member that use Google mesh and tell me it's fine, but I that stuff is the worst considering they report back to Google everywhere you go. Really can't wait to see where this series goes.

[@jtkachlmeier]

AWESOME! I went to school for networking and used to work for two different ISP's. I can't wait to see the rest of the videos and what more they say about the ISPs. They are so dirty! Let's expose them! Much love people!

[@tolpacourt]

Especially Comcast.

[@Ashandaeri3]

This. These. More of this. I need the rest of this series in my eye hole.

[@toddkr1w]

As someone that works in large scale networking (read: carrier), I definitely do not need this. For those that do, this is great to see. Good work y'all. (oh and 10g does belong in the home)

[@markpoint1351]

thank you guys for this series. my friend had taught me that "networking" is a broad word so it's nice to know your specifically talking about internet networking. i have always wanted to learn more on this subject so i can one day set up a better system then just using isp modem. i play destiny and it was mission impossible to learn how to properly portforward just to get an up NAT for my ps4(and xbox 360). before this i was always getting connection issues and almost stop playing the game. playing COD with my cousins, we had always had trouble with one of us having a closed NAT type but we could never figure out how to solve this issue. this is something that is never told and my isp wouldn't provide any assistance. COD does provide some kind of help buy stating what ports to forward but that was about it and that doesn't help at all for a average user.

[@AaronSchmidt52]

This will be SO USEFUL to send to family members in the future. THANK YOU!

[@michaelm6964]

Definitely like the start of this series and enjoy the “Links with Friends Show” cast

[@jaxxarmstrong]

While I don't need this content, I love the Level1Techs interaction and comic relief. Keep it up, fellas!

[@skitzojedi2505]

So excited for this video!

[@suchfail9698]

My body is ready for this series. I’m trying to get into networking but there’s been very little hands on experience in my college studies so it doesn’t stick all that well. Having videos so I can actually see how all this stuff works and connects together would be amazing!

[@adventuretai]

awesome. I literally use a few of your videos plus a bunch of other people's videos to help train my new IT staff as I hire them and having a series from your guys would be perfect because allot of them say they like your videos and network chucks videos the most. Keep up the great work guys!

[@estebanguerrero682]

Thanks for making this series, I'm starting to learn a bit about hardware and a bit of software and I really appreciate this starting point por nowadays tech

[@iamChermac]

The timing of this is priceless for me, so thank you! I'm about to migrate (see what I did there) from a career in traditional engineering to one in software engineering (devops engineer) and this is so helpful. This series is welcomed.

[@ImAzraa]

OMG this is veritable GOLD. Really looking forward for the upcoming videos :)

[@ghostingalong]

Great series to begin. Get into the ubiquiti home setups too!

[@stevenmcintyre3]

Excited for more 099!

[@penzancepirate]

I just decided last week that it's time to take the reins of my network, set up all of that plus a small firewall. I know next to nothing about it, so this series is truly timely.

[@DJ-Daz]

Already looking forward to the next video.

[@Hepheastius]

I could have used this when I was a cable technician with all the speed issue trouble calls I had to deal with. I had to often explain that a $99 all in one gateway doing 4 different things wouldn't always suit their needs and that they would have to continue their networking journey past their ISPs equipment. Especially when the gateways only fed 2.4ghz.

[@Hepheastius]

I actually had people saying that they were going to pursue lawsuits because it was false advertisement. I had to tell them that our responsibility ended at the back of the modem, the Wifi was essentially a courtesy (at the time).

[@bengrogan9710]

​@Hepheastius when you rent a car, you get the gas in the tank - but beyond that it's on you to feed it

[@TechManTY.]

​@@Hepheastius I never use a cable modem with router functions. Bridge mode and straight into a router is the way

[@Hepheastius]

@@TechManTY. Definely, and that's what I told all the customers. It's difficult to explain this to people who wouldn't know how to feed themselves if their mouths didnt move so much, much less be an admin to their own network. To most people, computers are boxes of magic and wifi should just work with no effort on their end to learn or put work into it.

[@Khift]

I am greatly looking forward to this series! I especially hope it builds into some of the heavy hitting topics -- the kinds of things and issues that professionals wrangle with in business at scale. But start small first, and work your way there, for sure.

[@Gowan08]

Love it. Thank you for posting this series! super excited for it.

[@davidroberts4306]

Great timing on this, about to move house need to refresh my network

[@mehnave]

Looking forward to this series!

[@ZMOT7S]

Educational and entertaining! What a great introduction video. I'm excited for the future videos.

[@aakoss]

More 101s! Loving this

[@kidsythe]

floatplane sub but here for ease. im happy with my 12usd switch

[@wiebowesterhof]

For an 099 Networking, a basic Gbit switch is fine. A lot of streaming devices like FireTVs (if they are even connected with a cable), run 100Mbit. A lot of the audience here will probably also have a bit of overkill networking at home. In my house I need easily 8 APs, mainly due to the concrete, columns and 2 floors. It is not a large property compared to typical US ones though. The hardest thing is to get the ISP to put the their modem into bridge mode. Looking forward to the series, hopefully I can send some of my less-techy friends and family in the direction of this series, so they gain a bit more understanding :)

[@grombrindle]

Yea this is an exciting series, really interested to see where this goes

[@TokenTech]

Can’t wait for the rest of the series!

[@porforyticbasalt]

I am looking forward to this series, hopefully this can cover enough that i can figure out why my internet dies about 4 to five times a month.

[@Disco_Shrew]

Very excited for this series!

[@itsdeonlol]

This series is great already!

[@aleksandar.dzhenkov]

So excited for the rest of the series

[@duncanny5848]

Really interesting. I am gonna watch ALL of these!

[@Artorius443]

This is a great series! Looking forward to every episode

[@lightichigo]

just what i needed!!!!! been having issues with my isp modem overheating and causing wifi to drop constantly

[@rax313]

Weee my kind of video. Just in time for the weekend❤

[@VideogamesAsArt]

This is so cool! Thanks a lot for this :)

[@spuchoa]

Love a good WAP. Great video!

[@talon32779]

So we can expect the video for Replacing Your Modem to come out in 2 - 5 years? :)

[@PakoSt]

That's it - finally subbed to Patreon :D

[@ahabwolf7580]

Yaaaaasss, more of this please!

[@GhostPirateChuck]

Learnt a lot from you folks thanks

[@dankvader420]

This already looks better than the networking classes I take at my uni...

[@ShowXTech]

In Germany you can get decent Router/Modems from some ISPs, but I always advise to calculate how much it will cost you like for two years, depending on how long you want to use it, might be a lot cheaper to buy it, even at your local eletronnics store.

[@George-bb9yi]

I hope you will cover network design: I was very happy with a segmented network, but there are some real issues wrt which segment to put Home Assistant, DLNA servers, the printer, etc. that I would love to see how you have set things up. Also which servers are stand alone and what is virtualized.

[@sm-btwrlm2518]

YES !! More please :-)

[@krandeloy]

Oh boy! Yes! Please! I was looking into upgrading my parent's network since I had to move back in to care for my dad (and save on rent.) I'm 100% looking forward to you're eventual recommendations on WAP set up so I can upgrade that independently once Wifi 7 standard is more available.

[@HoshPak]

I love this already! Please, find us a proper replacement for a modem. There are SFP to VDSL teansceivers. Would you please cover them in one of your videos? They would make a great addition for my self-built all-in-one homelab but im afraid of buying used hardware which in then end might be incompatible. Also, please consider your European viewers. Love you guys!

[@mattparker9726]

YAY! I needed this.

[@Ogorodovd]

This is a great series. I am using the garbage tier x-finity provides, but would love to switch to something that A) works better and B) it's not spying on me. Looking forward to more.

[@mechazoid427]

Great Video guys!

[@brianmccullough4578]

Woooooo!!! I love this shit. I can’t wait for this series

[@brianmccullough4578]

Patreon helps, but I need more…..MORE!!!!!

[@clawwer4404]

I love this. If only this would have come out a little sooner :=) But I'll still watch all of em :)

[@davisparsons6429]

Just keep going on the three items you mention here. How about a series on upgrading a home network from 1Gb to 2.5 or 5GB?

[@sebastianlesinski2284]

Classic on time :) happy audience.

[@chrispressley4644]

I loved this video please more

[@Mysticsam86]

This was really fun!

[@Arachnoid_of_the_underverse]

I hope you also cover having isolated (firewalled) sections of network for IOT devices

[@tfkoincognito]

Interesting format. I'd love to see how 3d v-cache would effect homelab setups. IE proxmox pfsense and Nas setups. I mean vs the non v cache variation.

[@andrewlong7578]

Gigabit has been the standard for me like 20 years. I was in middle school when my Dad setup our first home network which was gigabit. I'm 35 now.

[@burntnougat5341]

Will you cover mikrotik routers and routeros for the more advanced stuff?

[@tatsuuuuuu]

watching this video made me realize how insanely good we have it in europe...

[@ThisOldChris]

Seeing your videos every week, I had not realised how much weight you lost. 👍

[@ThatGuyBaldPete]

Not an AIO. You have a Wave 2 router and Docsis 3.1 modem. For your average consumer, ISP equipment is fine. Also you have a TV set top box and modem confused

[@TechManTY.]

A networking primer is way overdue, so many people use home networks, but know so little about them. Are you going to get into dd-wrt? WAP for days 😅

[@TerminalWorld]

MOAR!

[@T_Perkins]

Been so long since this was mentioned in the new... I mean, links with friends show, that I nearly forgot that you said you were filming this stuff. Ticks. Yes. Lovely things..... I'm really glad you guys are doing this because no matter how much I read online etc I get confused by some of the technical jargon and the conflicting nature of 'how it should be done' Thanks :)

[@numbersandreality]

What did they mean by "Tick"?

[@helloar14]

​@@numbersandrealityActual tick, the bug, Wendell got bit by one.

[@T_Perkins]

Mmm meaty... No more 😭

[@supra107]

@@T_Perkins I really should be glad that for all the times I got bitten by a tick I never gotten a single nasty complication. Then again I do live in Europe so ours might be much less mean than the NA ones. AGS though, that sounds like utter hell, but I'm glad Wendell has managed to push through that.

[@WarblyWark]

The only problem I have is the ISP I have access to ban gateways that aren't theirs. Any suggestions?

[@eDoc2020]

Depending on the type of ban cloning its MAC address will let you use other equipment.

[@catriona_drummond]

Wonder what you guys would think of the German FritzBox. it's quite renowned here. I wonder if it's deserved.

[@YouTuber-jz5nd]

Currently building out a 10G network in my home... it's lots of fun...

[@YouTuber-jz5nd]

too late, already bought everything only 7 minutes into the video... ;-)

[@chipped]

No doubt you’re going to recommend pfsense/opnsense on an old server or possibly a new build. I had this and ultimately the small amount of features I used could be done on an off the shelf router which uses much less power. For most of your target audience save them some time and money and just recommend a new modem and a good WiFi/Router combo.

[@w0nd3rlu573r]

What? Only 7 minutes? I thought it was at least 15 with all the rewinding I had to do in order to extract all the hilarious moments over and over again :D

[@bartcalder2791]

Thank you...From us dweebs. Please do Servers next....

[@Destide]

LV1 goes brrrrrrrrrr

[@Aegor1998]

If you make this a series will you be incorporating Network+?

[@jp-ny2pd]

Spectrum in central Florida forces you to use that garbage router with their 'business' internet. It essentially breaks IPv6 for your own stuff without getting weird with it. Even if you put their garbage router into bypass mode it still takes the initial IPv6 address and only gives out a single /64 prefix delegation for you to use. I guess they expect you to bridge your LAN to the WAN for IPv6. Same exact service, but without their mandatory garbage router, and IPv6 works just fine. If you remove their garbage router and connect to the modem directly they will administratively down the modem after a few hours until their garbage router is plugged back in. And this is just part of why IPv6 adoption still sucks.

[@MM-vl8ic]

so .... is this Actually Zero - Point - 99?? also good to go back to basics thanks....

[@dangerwr]

I thought Cardi was talking about her wireless access point. Please clarify.

This should be interesting. 🙂

[@disabledcable685]

F ya! Thank yall for doing/sharing this!

[@theshadowduke]

Man I probably could have used this in 2017, before I built out my network bit by bit. It started with pfSense, and now I have two L2+ switches, multiple WAP, a 10Gbit backbone, an UNRAID server, pihole running in two separate places for HA.... please make it stop I have an addiction.

[@galen__]

YES! 👍

[@MaxPrehl]

Is this coming ti floatplane?

[@wskinnyodden]

God damn it, that sounds like my own server (only louder). Which is why I insulated my storage area recently in sound proof foam. (Still need another layer, its better already though)

[@CrustyOldDave]

Recently found out that my emergancy purchase of the home router was 10/100 and not 10/100/1000. Sad. All better now.

[@dunastrig1889]

Woot!

[@andljoy]

Can you do a video on why we dont need to have a another DMZ vlan zone from our palo to ANOTHER breakout switch directly connected to all the vmware hosts just because you don't want a layer2 vlan on the current breakout switch even tho there is other layer2 legacy crap on there that will stay anyway ? The only reason i can think of is that it makes your viso look ugly :P

[@robertpearson8546]

How about doing a show about the advances made in power conversion over the last 50 years that are NOT included in your PC.
