500K of You Asked. TP-Link's VP Answered. | Behind The Network Ep. 18

A few weeks ago we posted a video about connecting your TV to WiFi. It hit 500,000 views. Six hundred and forty-nine comments. Everyone had an opinion, hardwire vs WiFi, 2.4 vs 5 GHz, why routers split the SSIDs, smart home devices, all of it. So this week we brought in the actual TP-Link engineering team to answer YOUR questions directly. No corporate script. No marketing pitch. Just real answers from the company that builds the routers you're arguing about in the comments. Massive thank you to Jim — Senior Vice President of Research and Development at TP-Link Systems — and to Paige for making this episode happen. In this episode: Who is TP-Link, really?
