Planning a Future-Proof Home Network
The special issue “c’t Building Networks” brings together knowledge and tests on current topics related to high-speed networks in the home and office for DIY enthusiasts and administrators of small networks.
The issue kicks off with a section on fiber optics. The second section answers questions about modern Wi-Fi 7. We show what users need for 10 Gbit/s Ethernet and how they can install cabling in their home office and home themselves. We not only provide an overview of entry-level devices but also test high-speed models that can handle the 10 Gbit/s data surge.

The topics:

  •  Switch to fiber  
  • Set up fast Wi-Fi 
  • Speed up your home network 
  • Choose your network storage
