About Graeme Messina
Graeme Messina is a CompTIA and Microsoft certified IT professional with more than 20 years of industry experience. His background spans enterprise vendor support, IT networking, systems administration, database administration, and cybersecurity; in short, the full stack of skills behind a home network that simply works.
At ITBlogPros he puts the everyday side of that expertise to work: home WiFi coverage, broadband routers, mesh systems, and the configuration quirks (modem mode, double NAT, ISP hub resets) that turn a quick job into a long evening. The aim is always the same; explain the fix in plain language, and only recommend hardware that earns its place.

How we test and recommend
Recommendations are grounded in real-world use across different lines and homes, not manufacturer spec sheets. When a product is suggested, it is because it solves the problem at hand at a sensible price. ITBlogPros takes part in the Amazon Associates programme, so some links earn a commission; that never changes the price you pay, and it never decides what gets recommended. The full reasoning lives on our about page.
