A personal reflection on home networking features that were underutilized for too long. Covers VLANs for network segmentation, separating network appliances instead of using all-in-one devices, upgrading to 10 GbE wired speeds, deploying hardware firewalls for traffic monitoring and control, adopting mesh Wi-Fi, upgrading to Wi-Fi 6E or 7, and integrating smart home hubs (Zigbee, Z-Wave, Matter, Thread) into network hardware. Each feature is discussed with brief personal anecdotes about why it was ignored and what benefits were gained after adoption.
