IT Blog Pros is an independent help site for home broadband, WiFi and the everyday tech around them. Most of it is written for UK households: what the lights on a hub mean, how to log in to a router, what to do when the home phone stops working after the move to a digital landline, and which piece of kit is worth buying when a fix is not enough.
The site has been publishing since 2021. It is run by one person, an IT professional with more than 20 years in the industry, not by a team.
How the guides are made
- They start from the source. Each guide is built from the provider's or maker's own documentation: help pages, manuals and published rules from companies such as BT, Sky, Virgin Media and TP-Link, and from Ofcom and GOV.UK.
- Specific facts name where they came from. A port, a light, a login address or a rule is attributed in the sentence that states it. Where a provider's pages do not cover something, the guide says so instead of guessing. Older guides are brought up to this standard as they are revised.
- Since 2026, guides have been researched and drafted with AI tools. Each draft is checked against a fixed set of sourcing and style rules before it is published.
- Hands-on testing is the exception, and a guide says so when it happened. The TP-Link Deco E4 review is one example. Nothing else on the site should be read as a product test.
- Guides change when the facts do. When a provider replaces a hub or rewrites a help page, the guide is corrected.

How the site is paid for
IT Blog Pros is free to read. It earns money in two ways:
- Amazon. As an Amazon Associate, IT Blog Pros earns from qualifying purchases. Links to Amazon are affiliate links, and the price you pay is the same either way.
- NordVPN. A few security guides link to NordVPN through its affiliate programme.
Products are suggested because they fit the problem a guide is about and are in stock, and a guide says when a fix costs nothing.

Short explainers for many of the guides are on the IT Blog Pros YouTube channel.
