After building my dream home and wiring it with a sophisticated Ubiquiti network system, complete with four Wi-Fi access points and screaming-fast 1,200 Mbps internet, I figured my connectivity problems were over. Instead, I got lag everywhere, connections dropping randomly, and Wi-Fi speeds that weren’t much better than the 150 Mbps I’d left behind. And this was with all the fancy networking equipment money could buy—my phone would just sit there spinning, trying to load a simple webpage.
