Smart Home Networking

Intermediate 5 lessons 20 min

WiFi problems are the number one source of smart home frustration. A home full of devices competing for bandwidth needs a network designed to handle the load.

This course teaches you how to build a network that can reliably support 20, 50, or even 100+ smart devices. You'll learn about mesh WiFi systems, the critical difference between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, how to create a dedicated IoT network, and why most smart devices refuse to connect to your 5 GHz network. We also cover DHCP management, channel optimization, and how to troubleshoot the connectivity issues that plague most smart homes.
