Have you ever looked at your home network and said, “Man, this is one hell of a screwed-up setup?”

Well, I have. I got things re-wired just now, and it’s pretty sad and pathetic. So sad, I won’t even detail it. What I have will work for the max two weeks that Leonard still lives here, at which point I’ll get to finally reclaim the back bedroom as mine and start this networking gig all over again. Of course, there, I’ll have the router and the cable modem together in one place, and the bulk of the networked devices will be in close proximity, and I … won’t have two switches daisy-chained together. [There, I said it.]
