    Non wireless router?

    Most the wireless devices in the house can’t even do 1gig, only a cple new iPhone even have WiFi 6E. Tired of my daughter complaining of horrible WiFi in her room. So ran enet from POE switch to attic and put an AP on her ceiling. All mesh AP’s have wired back hauls. Ran ethernet jacks for...

    Non wireless router?

    I may end up buying a wireless router as that’s the easiest setup and what I’m familiar with. I just needed one with at least a 2.5g wan and lan and I didn’t want the WiFi to interfere with the AP’s. And while I hate this word it I wanted the hardware to be somewhat “future proof” I know I’m...

    Non wireless router?

    So do most people just use a wireless router and either disable the WiFi or integrate it into the AP mesh if they have them.

    Non wireless router?

    Hi all, so I’m redesigning my network and running some Ethernet cable throughout the house. I have my fiber coming in to the ONT and it originally went to an 8 port Linksys wireless router. What I’m going to be doing is hard wiring a couple WiFi access points in the areas of the house that...

    Unmanaged to managed switch

    No the Plex is running on a Synogy NAS which is plugged in the Asus router. And no it’s 1 network and no double NAT. DHCP is off on the router in the garage and on the second floor of the house. The switch is handling all DHCP request. Both routers (Asus House) & (Linksys Garage) are setup to...

    Unmanaged to managed switch

    The VPN on the Asus router would remain a router. Only 1 device on that router uses the VPN. A device in the garage can’t see the Plex server that’s on the Asus router because with the unmanaged switch I had on the ONT each router got a different WAN IP. But with the managed switch being used...

    Unmanaged to managed switch

    I had to keep the wireless router on the 2nd floor because there are a lot of WiFi devices up there and this particular router (Asus w/ Merlin) works great for the VPN is remains connected to, and one of the ports is configured to route all traffic through it with a kill switch and is hard wired...

    Unmanaged to managed switch

    I have ONT > Managed Switch > (1)Wireless Router/(2)Garage AP. I just assumed when I originally said ONT to managed switch acting as DHCP that it was implied the switch had 1 wan IP and all ports hand out 192.* IP’s, my bad on the assumption. So is there any reason not to do this and to buy...

    Unmanaged to managed switch

    That’s correct. What I said before was that when I use a hub or unmanaged switch then yes I can pull 2 public WAN IP’s from the ONT. I didn’t want to do this because that puts the house and the garage on 2 separate networks that have no route to each other. So I replaced the unmanaged switch...

    Unmanaged to managed switch

    The ISP is Altafiber (previously Cincinnati Bell) I don’t know why this wouldn’t work on any ISP. The switch is just pulling the real world wan IP and then everything else is behind the 192.* of the switch. The ONT doesn’t know what’s plugged into it, it’s just giving a 50.* WAN IP to whatever...

    Unmanaged to managed switch

    Currently Fiber comes from the pole to the basement into the ONT. The ONT Ethernet runs from the ONT to an upstairs wireless router. I recently ran cat6a from the basement out to the garage. Now my ONT is only provisioned for LAN 1 however I can pull several real world IP’s from the ONT. The...
