Following on from his highly rated presentation at last year’s Tech Summit, Brendan Ferry is back with his home networking masterclass — giving integrators practical tools and techniques to design and deliver residential networks that meet client needs today and anticipate tomorrow’s demands.

The session focuses on the real-world challenges integrators face on-site, blending clear explanations with practical demonstrations. Key topics include:

• Network Fundamentals Refresher – IP addressing, bandwidth, and device segmentation explained in plain language
• Hardware Selection – Matching routers, switches, and wireless access points to project requirements
• Wi-Fi Performance – Coverage planning, interference avoidance, and ensuring seamless roaming
• Security Essentials – Device isolation, remote access best practices, and firmware management
• On-Site Troubleshooting – Step-by-step methods to diagnose and resolve the most common networking issues in the field
• Client Communication – Setting realistic expectations, explaining performance limitations, and creating simple client handover documentation

Participants will walk away with practical configuration tips, a checklist for network setup, and a troubleshooting guide they can apply immediately on their next project.
