I don’t think you do. Most people don’t know the difference between a lan/wan/dmz.
I’m posting this thread because for the years I have lived here, there have been many posts about people having issues with their networks. And yes, it does take expertise to setup a network, much more than xfinity or the geek squad to come in and place a router in 1 location and think you’re done. Far from it.
Most people don’t know how to tell what kind of networking speeds they are getting from room to room, or possibly no connection at all say to your lanai or garage or outside. Most people will hire the geek squad to setup their network and the geek squad has no clue what they are doing.
I’m trying to help people by adding to this thread by stating there are options to create a better network and your house might already have some of this hardware already in place. Cybersprings and others are doing the same thing.
