How to text with a $30 Radio Board

Imagine sending a text message to someone hundreds of miles away — no cell towers, no Wi-Fi, no cloud servers, no monthly bill. Thanks to the convergence of affordable hardware and open-source ingenuity, this isn't science fiction anymore. A cheap radio board, small enough to fit in your palm, is all the hardware you need to step completely outside the bounds of traditional telecommunications infrastructure.

The DNS Security Deep Dive You Didn't Know You Needed (Chris Greer)

DNS is the internet's phone book, and attackers have been exploiting it for decades — yet most professionals still aren't sure how to properly defend it. In this eye-opening interview on Chris Greer's channel, host Chris sits down with Ross Gibson, an engineer at Infoblox and contributor to the latest NIST guidance on DNS security, to cut through the confusion and explain what modern DNS protection actually looks like in practice.

Optimizing your WiFi Network with the NetAlly AirCheck G3

 

We’ve all heard that transforming a sluggish Wi-Fi network into a high-performance powerhouse requires meticulous planning and a sharp strategy. 

This is where you, the Wi-Fi engineer must perform a thorough analysis. This begins with a comprehensive site survey to identify legacy 802.11b devices—such as industrial barcode scanners or outdated medical equipment that may still be active on the Wi-Fi network.

By ditching the dead weight and turning off 802.11b legacy data rates you essentially clear slow-moving tractors off a racetrack. These airtime vampires (1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps) force your modern APs to broadcast essential management frames at a snail's pace.  By removing these ancient speeds, you slash overhead, reclaim massive amounts of airtime, and force your Wi-Fi network into a high-performance lane where only the fast survive! 

Lab - WAN port testing

There’s a big difference between hoping new gear will behave the way you want and knowing it will. That’s where lab testing earns its keep. Before rolling out the Ubiquiti UISP Router Pro into production, taking the time to validate its behavior in a controlled environment gives you the confidence to push boundaries without risking downtime. In our case, we’re not just swapping hardware—we’re transitioning from tried-and-true EdgeRouters to a newer platform, and that means assumptions need to be tested, not trusted.
