Editorial standards

1. Consolidate repetitive topics

We prefer one strong guide over many near-identical articles. Relevant old URLs are redirected to the closest replacement.

2. Check current standards status

Wi‑Fi generations and protocol specifications are grounded in current primary standards sources where practical. For example, Wi‑Fi 7 is treated as current because IEEE 802.11be-2024 is published.

3. Distinguish theory from product behavior

Router menus, radio features and ISP implementations vary. We avoid presenting one vendor's interface or marketing claim as universal networking behavior.

4. Security content stays defensive

We explain how to protect and maintain home networks, not how to defeat Wi‑Fi security or gain unauthorized access.

5. Corrections

Documentable factual corrections can be submitted through the limited contact channel.

6. Advertising independence

Advertisers do not choose our conclusions, and a displayed router or ISP ad is not an endorsement.
