Routers and WiFi on Home Server Show 285

July 02, 2015

I'm talking routers and WiFi with John Stutsman on this episode of Home Server Show. Why? Because I like the stuff!  John has a new D-Link router, the D-Link DIR 890L/R, and I've got WiFi issues.  I'll go over all kinds of WiFi products.  News, KickStarter, Cuda, and a live unboxing on the podcast!  Oh, and if I sound tired, I am! I just flew back from Italy and boy are my arms tired.  See you in the forums!
