The Home Wi-Fi Fix-It Guide

The same triage I run on service calls, in the order that actually finds the problem.

18 short chapters that take you from a three-minute triage to the actual fix: which box does what, the restart order that works, connected-but-no-internet, placement, 2.4 / 5 / 6 GHz, dead zones and mesh, and when to call a pro.

Speed tests explained, plus smart-home gear, printers and cameras
A ten-minute security lockdown and a repair record to keep
Four real-world scenarios, a checklist and a plain-English glossary

$19 · Coming soon

Integrated Edition v2, $19 one-time when it opens. Not on sale yet.
