Revisiting Making Your Own Internet Router in 2026
Revisiting Making Your Own Internet Router in 2026
Episode 29 of @RuntimeArguments is live at RuntimeArguments.fm — The Alphabet Soup of Wi-Fi. Jim @jammcq needed to upgrade his home Wi-Fi and fell headfirst into an IEEE rabbit hole; Wolf @YesJustWolf helped him figure out what actually matters when you're standing in a router aisle wondering if Wi-Fi 7 is worth it. They cover the evolution from 802.11b to Wi-Fi 7, what WEP→WPA3 means for your security, and why mesh might be the answer your distant rooms are waiting for.
As always, we want to know what you think:

Τι είναι το FRITZ!Mesh 4200 και πότε το χρειάζεσαι σίγουρα
Αν έχεις μεγάλο σπίτι, πολυώροφη βίλα, παχιά τοιχώματα ή πολλές ταυτόχρονες συσκευές, το FRITZ!Mesh 4200 είναι ακριβώς η λύση που χρειάζεσαι: Wi‑Fi 6 tri‑band, ενιαίο δίκτυο, seamless roaming, ενσύρματο/ασύρματο backhaul και προηγμένες λειτουργίες FRITZ!. Η εγκατάσταση μέσω της MyFRITZ!App είναι απλή και το σύστημα κλιμακώνεται εύκολα καθώς προσθέτεις περισσότερους κόμβουςCurrent network:
DSL (FTTC) -> ISP Router (Vodafone) -> USG -> LAN
Fibre networking options:
ONT -> Fritz!Box -> USG -> LAN
or
ONT -> Fritz!Box -> LAN
or
Some other setup?
Where the LAN has one subnet, runs on Netgear switches and a Unifi AP-Lite. Having played a little with Fritz!Box it’s quite possible I could get rid of the Unifi bits altogether as its WiFi seems good enough.
