4/1/2022 – I’m the Greenbury Hills Wi-Fi Guy. Helping people for a fair price is my business model. I did work for over 5 houses in this neighborhood.
4/20/2022 – An idea for a demo called “Down the Street Wi-Fi”. That turned into my mobile demo. It is amazing how far the Wi-Fi signal is transmitted. I perfected this demo by the end of the year by using tripods and Milwaukee Top-Offs for power.
4/22/2022 – Solicited rebranding ideas for the “Storage slinger”. I built this sling shot for hard drives. I should sling old routers or something.

10/5/2022 – Headed to the “Mountain Top” neighborhood. This is the first of many trips. There are many folks that have never experienced the true power of the modern Internet. Helping these people has been the most satisfying.
10/7/2022 – Installed Arlo 4 Pro Wi-Fi cam as a dash cam in the Wi-Fi Guy. I posted this picture in the Facebook Arlo Users group. Someone made the comment that I should just get a dashcam. I’m not the “Dash Cam Guy” LOL!
