Transparency & Integrity
At Practical Network Guide, transparency is one of our core values. We believe you have the right to know exactly how this website is funded and how we operate.
Amazon Associates Program
Practical Network Guide is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
What does this mean for you?
When you click on a link to a product on this website (like a router, switch, or tool) and make a purchase on Amazon, we may earn a small commission.
- No Extra Cost: This commission comes at no additional cost to you. The price remains the same whether you use our link or go directly to Amazon.
- Support: These commissions help cover the costs of running this website (server hosting, domain fees, and purchasing hardware for testing).
Our Editorial Stance
Our reputation as engineers is more important than any commission.
- We pick products based on specs and performance: We recommend products because they solve a technical problem, not because they pay a higher commission.
- We are not paid by brands: Unless explicitly stated in a specific article (e.g., “Sponsored Post”), we do not accept payment from manufacturers to review their products.
- Honesty: If a product has a flaw, we will tell you.
Other Affiliate Programs
In addition to Amazon, we may participate in other affiliate programs in the future. We will always disclose these relationships on this page.
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, please feel free to contact us
