Your talk is much more interesting than the dozen other clickbaity tech videos that came out this week. I enjoyed it. Hope to see more videos about networking, servers, and life as IT consultant.

Tech Deals is the type of guy who stops at traffic lights in GTA.

What you should do is create videos on how to setup hardware firewalls, it’s not something you see much and it’s really important. Because 99% of these gateways cable companies give you are cakeboxes in regard to security, these allows anyone with limed knowledge to hack the hell out of millions of people.

What about an Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X video. It's cheap and full of features...

Absolutely loved this video, as always longer the better..

As someone who's looking to get into IT and wants to first try their hand with small stuff like home networking or maybe small businesses this type of rambling is perfect for me. The information you provide about the products you buy cuts out allot of the marketing and fluff companies push and you bring it down to "you pay x for y performance for z amount of time". I'd honestly like to ask you to do a video series rambling and telling these stories so we can get a small glimpse into what we might need/expect in IT and maybe a separate series on home networking and what's practical or what could you reasonably afford. Linus is great for showing top of the line and lvl1tech is great for mid range but I feel like we need more budget home network KZreadrs explaining to us why we should get this ups over the other or which switch we need or even what type of cable works best for what. Tl;Dr great video, thank you for the info, please do more!

I guess I must me a true Tech Deals fan then.. cause I watched the whole video.

Hi, I came here from Linus Tech Tips(in their latest WAN show they showed the floatplane dashboard and I saw a early acess video from you which looked very interesting) and I just clicked on this video and now I am at 31:15 and so thankful and happy I found your channel. I love this type of retrospective story witch also ties in with the present and future. I am very interedted in IT Consulting and Networking and I want to work in that branch, so I am very happy to hear your advice and stories. Thank you!

*Wow, I passed the loyalty test* I don't know what a network switch is , but ,YES, " I'm learning about network switches, BOSS"... plastic peel was the BEST ☝️😎

I actually found this video very interesting. Would love to see more like it! I've always been excited about these back-end systems. I've never owned and operated a proper business but I've always been an advocate of doing it and always wanted to help set it up. It's so cool! Also, I bought one of those 5 port metal switches based on your recommendation. Waiting for it to arrive! My plastic one is dying, I think.

This is the first video of your's that I have seen. I am a tech geek and have been working with computers since I was in elementary school, many years ago. I watched the whole thing, beginning to end, I found your video more interesting then some others, and I really enjoyed your networking stories!

Im a networking guy so i enjoyed this video!

We love your stories, please don’t interrupt your stories with “yeah I’m gonna unbox these later” if we didn’t like you talking, we wouldn’t be clicking the video. Keep them videos coming :p

Great video Tech Deals. Yeah, finally a video on network switches. Late Spring, early Summer I decided to dump ATT Uverse for cable. Had Uverse for a long time, around 6 years maybe longer. I get much faster internet speeds for not as much money with cable. When Uverse was installed the tech ran Ethernet cable to all the TVs in the house. If I was smart, I would have shoved a TV in every room and had Ethernet in every room. Up stairs the tech ran one cable to an Ethernet switch then ran Ethernet cables from that switch to all the bedrooms that had TVs in them. So, yeah the TV signals got to the TVs over Ethernet. When I dumped Uverse I lost the ATT gateway with one Ethernet port IN and four ports OUT to the cable modem that has one port IN and only one port OUT. I hooked up a fancy WIFI router to the modem, on Ethernet port IN and eight ports OUT, cool, so now all my Ethernet wiring has internet signals on them. I know, I rambled. Oh, by the way, all my Ethernet cable runs though floors and walls and under carpet, up into the attic. Here my question and maybe a topic for a future video, how can I tell what kind of Ethernet cable I have, CAT 5, CAT 6, etc? The cable company claims to be providing 200 Mbps but I only get 100 Mbps on my Ethernet attached devices BUT I get 200 Mbps on my WIFI devises running on the 5 gHz side of the router. I'm figuring it's something in the wiring or the router, I thought the ports on the router were gigabit ports might be wrong. Anyway, thank you for the great video and thank you for reading this to the end.

Came to learn about switches...left with that 90's nostalgia... Initially clicked to skip to the main part but it's so hard to move once I started listening...you really have a way to make people listen!

This guy is an Alien from the futuristic Tech ! GREAT CHANNEL.

Stop telling everyone my secrets! 😱😇

I have always loved the server cabinets and switches, nice and neat cabling. That’s why I am here:)

Great history lesson. I find many 'computer people' have fond 'memories' of the good ole days of computers. Like Renaissance Fairs, it's an idealized version of a time, they never lived through. Paper tape storage, 8" floppies, drum memory, 110 baud ... ARPANET ... Wow those were the days. ;)

Thanks for the flash backs, I’m going to have hub collision nightmares. So glad I don’t have to mess with that work anymore

I like your video and a well thorough networking explanation of the early generation of network cabling. I went to college for my associates for network system admin and graduated back in 2014 or 2015, and just listening to the veterans such as yourself and my instructors, and just listening to you guys explain how Networking and IT and cableing back in the 90s, paints such a drastic change of technical troubleshooting history way before our generation of technical issues today. Everytime i hear the stories and truths like this from a veteran like you and my instructors, it still rattles my mind of what you guys have had go go through and its amazing because i salute and enjoy the stories such as yours like this because most people especially today dont realize how it was back in the 90s if how much you guys had to do and the problems on top of trouble shooting compared to todays generation. This is a good video because alotof people today needs to understand what the history of such a truth such as this video needs to realize of how much work and history you guys u guys helped paved for those today. I respect this video and its so amazing of how far weve come just 20years ago :)

"Shut up. Your going to buy this because it's the right thing.". You'd be SOOO much fun to go on sales calls with!!! :D

Any possibility of making a video on what router/modem to use to replace the one the internet providers give you and take off the 10$-15 rental fee from the internet bill

Your humor is wonderful! and at 65 years of age much appreciated.

I've enjoyed this video, honestly. First half really brings back memories. Thumbs up man!

Just what I was looking for as I setup my home theater. If you'd have asked me a month ago if I'd be watching a 50 minute video on routers... Watched it all the way through and I'm a fan now. My first video on your channel.

This waa my cup of coffee. Been working in networking since I was 18 (11y now} and boy have I heard stories about network designs.

I actually saw all the video, i like listening to your stories and i learn a thing or two along the way.

That's why I like your videos. Now make some videos on wifi routers.

Token Ring..... *Shudders* Definitely the best video on the channel in the last month!!! Love it! Side note anyone remember LANtastic? Their slogan was hilarious LANtastic is FANTASTIC!

Wow! I was looking to buy either the plastic or the metal version and no one had a comparison... And of course Tech Deals came to my rescue... AGAIN! Thank you!!

You brought me a blast from the past talking about 10BaseT and going to Fast Ethernet. Windows NT 3 and 3.51 and farther. Thanks for the memories.

I know this single comment of mine won't change much, but please keep the non-clickbait titles and thumbnails as you approach half a million subs. I've seen Linus and countless other channels take that path, and your channel is truly a sanctuary for those of us that want quality tech content that's not trying to pander to a younger audience.

I would watch hours of you talking about your past and stories that happened in your life. Great video!

I was actually really excited on one of your last AskTD, because I was in the market for a network switch. But you never brought them up. I couldn't find a video with the info I was looking for. I ended up buying a network switch anyway. But I still like hearing about your past and present. Keep up the great work!

Lol never thought I'd finished this video but i did! Enjoyed the history part and had some really good laugh hahaha then pressed the Subscribe and bell button afterwards. Learned a ton not only about the subject of this video but a life full of good stuff from the ancients. Thank you Tech Deals! You do help me a lot in deciding on which new tech to buy.

hmmm, yeah, it's gonna be a clatter. atm, i use an 8-port switch as a "hub" and 5-port switches at the "nodes" (MBR, PC Room, Living Room, Basement).

40:30 Well I was supposed to figure out some router on a stick troubleshooting today but watching this is more fun!

I'm currently using the TP-Link plastic version to connect a Roku & PC connected to my TV. I like that all the ports connect from the back so that it's clean from the front.

Unpacking my new place and always look for long tech deals videos to play in the background. So yes I am a tech deals fan :D

I love your stories. Don't get me wrong you have super informative videos but the best is when you get down and dirty with the stories of tech from the past.

Came for the switches, stayed for the war stories. You do you Jason, it's why we're here.

Eli the computer guy is another good channel for all things computing and networking

Jason's fireside chats. This was great!

Was really hoping to see the side by side comparison of their internals as well. That would have been the icing on the cake.

Hey save the "this isn't exciting" comments. I love networking, server, etc videos!

Still own a couple of 3Com 3C905C-TX-M network cards. Nostalgia! 😅 Cloning machines... did that once for XP and once for Vista role-outs with new machines. We used Norton Ghost back in the day for that. 😉

Can't believe I'm watching this, and actually find it interesting. Wish I'd gotten into computers years ago, gotten in on the ground floor of something so important. I enjoy the personal history rambles - product reviews are only of interest if I'm in the market 4 the device in question. I may not watch all of your vids, but I've been a subscriber 4 a while and enjoy the channel. Thanks.

You are welcome! I enjoyed the rambling it took me back decades also.

This is perfect. Just what I needed. My daily tech-tube routine is causing stress, LTT and Upside-down Steve are arguing, Yeti-Steve has gone all Christian Amanpur and J2C has obviously done some dark magic ritual and is channelling DeBaur ... Overclocking like a man possessed (which, as I say, I think he is). I needed a touch of normalcy, that one tech-tube standard that remains sane ... Eeks! Jayz2Cents has just brought out a tub of Vaseline ... God I can't watch ... I can't watch ... I can't oooh wow, oh that's quite cool, Ahem ... Yes, Normalcy, sanity, Network Switches ...

Useful info + no annoying music = I've made it to the end.

i like your ramblings very knowledgeable

Network switches are beyond my current priorities, but I watched because it was a Tech Deals video. And I did laugh a lot, all the way to the end. And along the way I picked up many useful tidbits of information.

@22:00 YES! PLEASE Do another UPS video. I liked your previous one but I was looking for the next tier up - say the $300 to $600 and then $600 to $900 range. I am plugging in about $5000 of hardware. I did some research after your last video that I need to get out again and review. I have quite dirty power here and even though I have Seasonic Platinum PS I still want the spare time for filesystems and virtual machines. Don't need a rack mountable system but those are fine too. More interested in quality for the money. You would THINK that there would be some videos on this subject but I have not found many that go in to detail on quality and features. Usually they say "buy this brand it is the best and get the biggest you can afford" - that is not very instructive.

Useful advice to a regular consumer like me , without too many technical terms that I don’t really understand.

I run a small homelab as a hobby with a 48 port managed gigabit switch and 2 Dell poweredge servers. This stuff is fun and keep making more videos like this please!

I dont know why I find this entertaining but I just watched an hour of switch and story. I'm actually glad I did that

The BAD BOY!!!! LOL!!!! Nice description of the Tp link 16 port😎

As someone who is going into exactly what you are talking about this was actually a good video, love good conversations.

Loved the video too. I couldn't help but smile remembering a couple of my late 90's bosses here in Spain, they had exactly the same mindset you describe. I guess money is THE universal language 🤑

i still have here an 8+1 port half width rackmount style port HUB, not a layer3 switch a freaking layer1 10mbit hub. we used it a lot of times to do lanparties back in the days because switches were soo expensive. of it required 24vac for some reason... but we just shoved 12vdc and it still worked like a charm with short cables. :D

I've had the exact same conversations with customers trying to justify spending a bit more on backend equipment! I love your videos.

I see this video as the first of several, i read the comments , how do one make a portable network, low latency (gaming), file server (steam installation files offline) server running games.

@4:55 inb4 "YOU SHOULDA WENT CAT7 LUL".

REALLY INTERESTED. I'm learning about this and the more info the better.

Jesus, 52 minutes to open 5 switches. I just loved it, you should have a podcast :)

This is absolutely fantastic entertainment. The riveting story telling, life experiences, and majestic unboxing of little boxes is incredible! And I'm actually being serious, watched every second of it. Thank you

This is the first time I've watched a Tech Deals video, and I watched the whole thing. I guess I have to subscribe now :)

Came for switches, stayed for the stories. These old IT stories are really interesting, would be interested in hearing more of them.

I remember the just buy 3Com days and other thing were junk. I was huge into networking in early 2000s as well. Now I just want to plug the cable and it just has to work. Great video, watch entire thing!

i enjoyed listening in how tech industry operate especially in back end stuff

I don't know why I can't stop this video and close the tab, until the end of this video. :)

Wow. Brilliance here. Thank you for sharing!

I can't believe I can't look away! LOL

I watched through the whole thing! I would love to see more videos based on networking and server environments since I am in the IT field

Mind bending...but I'm still not sure what applications a network switch is for, or if I could use/need one? Never the less. I can listen to you for hours...one of the best channels on YT.

They all work fine. I have six different switches spread around my house and they're all different brands and models. The main thing I like about larger switches is having an internal power supply so I can just have a normal PC-style power plug instead of a crappy little power adapter taking up two or three slots on my power strip. Not to mention many of those adapters are made so crappy that they're a real fire hazard.

Please do more rambling in the videos, it gives it a nice touch because you never see that kind of stuff in other videos. And yeah, I watched it through ^^

I had so much fun watching you trying to remember stuff and peeling the plastic off of stuff. Watching others having fun is one of my favorite things to do. I had to laugh when you "gently slid the plastic" off of the 16 port switch.

It was a bit lengthy but not complaining to much because I enjoyed your rambling tbh. I wanted to hear more. I am a tech geek at heart. I love hearing how technology has progressed. I never followed my passion unfortunately bc I quit school. I was about 25-28 when I buckled down and felt that was a bit to old to walk into the tech world brand new. I always enjoy his you give the why. You aren't the type to say "you cat do that" and not explain why. Also you videos are extremely educational. I stayed to the end

i do really like these long videos!

Awesome video! I work for a networking company and love the history and application of switches as I am working with them every day.

2020 and still useful, funny enough didnt think i would make it up to 10 minutes but i finished it captivating stories!!!!

Great Video! I watched it all the way through. And Mr. TechDeals, please do not apologize for every word of an interesting story you tell. No need to do that. I had fun.

the power on the opposite side of the lan plugs are usually so you don't accidently unplug the power plug when you try to pull a lan cable.

i have a question. i have comcast internet i picked up the 1gig service when i started gaming as i needed it. but anyway im using there box and running cat5 cable to my gaming pc and my ps4. would going to an aftermarket box give me faster up/downloads ( up to my service ofcorse ) ?? as it seems like my ps4 lags alot and my pc does sometimes.

I'm about 21 minutes in and had to pause to say I love these stories and anecdotes. I'm here for the switches for sure but I love the personal side of your background.

Your talk about working in the IT industry was quite informative. Thanks for keeping it in the edit.

Switches! Finally someone made a quality video about switches. I think that TP Link makes great switches for home and small business use. Go with the metal for sure.

Really enjoy the longer videos. Very informative. Thank you.

Please don't apologize. Because you're having fun with your history lessons, we're having fun as well! If someone doesn't have the 'time', they can go. However, they won't get the care given to them that they'll get from you...very kind, extremely kind.. Sir. Now, back to you...

I love switches. Great video. Next one you do should include trunks and vlans.

Amongst the highligts: 31:03 - Definitely the most awesome thing. 34:42 - Plastic peel. 40:31 - Adding the rubber feet. 41:22 - Personally I'd say better without mood music - the silence while the box is unwrapped is very dramatic.

You are a great host. You could do an unboxing of a bunch of power cables and I'll still watch it

Excellent video - I seriously just had to buy one of these switches in the video. Skip to the switches at around 30 minutes in ...

I have both 5 and 8 port metal switch from TP-Link (these exact same models) I had to ponder a bit while at the computer store if I should pick the plastic or metal one. Hearing your advice that we would be better off with the metal ones gives me more confidence with my decision. For me, the price difference seemed like the difference between having a plastic case or a metal one. I chose the metal one at the time because it felt like it would last longer. I didn't realize they have a lifetime warranty. Good to know!

Got to say I like this style more than gameplay background. More power Mr. Deals.

38:58 That slight tapping on the black plastic finish may have caused a scratch or two. Its what I hate about plastic case besides being a dust magnet.

I learned a lot more from this than I thought I would have.

@43:00 I would love to see the KZread statistics to back up the results of said loyalty test.
