Adding Wi-Fi at the Boat Dock

Wi-Fi at the Boat Dock

My wife bought this cool house on the lake. And we really love it. But it has one problem that drives us nuts: The cell phone coverage in the area is terrible! When we’re in the backyard, or on our dock there is generally no cell phone coverage and therefore no data. Now I get […]

Review of the Synology NVR216

Surveillance systems are something that used to be considered a nice-to-have. With today’s crime rates, and lawsuit happy customers it just makes sense to have something like the Synology NVR216 in your personal or small business arsenal.
