Wow. I love that you came up with an idea for home networking specific information. This particular video is just superb for someone who is not working in networking or IT administration area… in a world filled with our privacy being controlled by big brothers, having a local network storage is a splendid way to stay off grid. Great stuff

[@haint7709]

Awesome information. Thanks.

[@stover954rr]

I am trying to do this with wifi security cameras. I have one in my barn and I want to connect it and my router and my phone to that router so that I can monitor inside the barn (but I don't have internet)

[@etherealhunger3172]

You are smart as hell bro

[@maheshBasavaraju]

Thanks

[@raahulpooran]

This was very helpful, thanks

[@arnoldolorenzo3474]

This is an interesting question, I’ve wondered many times what would happen if we have a disaster or an emergency and the internet connections go down. Could you create a large neighborhood network and make calls within that network without a provider? Isn’t that what network connections were made for? This is important to ask because in todays climate, this very thing has happened and will happen again in the future.

[@ElectroPopSelection]

Very True!

[@MostafaRabie2016]

Thank you
Working network without the Internet. What is the solution so that I can use a modem that works on the Internet at the same time?

[@darrinlong8038]

so if i plug a router in and turn it on and then on my smartphone turn on the wifi and then turn on my wireless printer can i send a document to the printer from my thru the router to print it out?

[@claudiamolina4547]

I would love if Chris can do it for visual people. I don’t understand. Pictures would be useful.

[@Alonetiger18]

So in other words depending on what type of Wi-Fi router you're using it can still work without internet correct

[@damianmarquez3734]

So if i buy a wifi router but dont have internet could i still use my fire stick and playstation? Can't use those without wifi but i dont necessarily need internet, just wifi to be able to access my stuff

[@Schizo_Souls]

Yes and no. You can't connect to the playstation network or streaming platforms. However if you have Plex installed you can access a plex server.

[@VlikeInMewe]

He obviously knows what he is talking about, but this is by far the least effective way to present the information

[@huntersipe7659]

yeah its missing a visual aspect

[@charliewatts6895]

Agree. When I was studying tv journalism we were told tv is pictures. It's the same with UA-cam. It's unfortunate as he really knows his stuff, but his approach could have been better.

[@royforgy3219]

A good video. A little fast however.

[@filippaoronto3880]

speed up to 1.75😆

[@moses777exodus]

Very informative. Much Blessings to you. Thanks for sharing, Lord-Jesus-Christ dot

[@makewithmegma]

💕👍

[@daciai2201]

He recite so long so many in one breath, waaa. Good

[@tareshgupta1095]

video would have been better if instead of just verbally instructing how, you could ve shown us practically using a screen recorder or something .

[@darrinlong8038]

be nice if you showed how to do this instead of just talking.

[@ericcsuf]

I'm disappointed that the presenter can't talk any fcuking faster. I was still able to pick words out of sentences. And thanks for not including any annoying diagrams or other graphics They just clutter up the screen.
