    Solved Cable Modem->VLAN Tagged Switch->MoCA Adapter->MoCA Adapter->VLAN Tagged Switch->AX86U Router

    @Crimliar @ColinTaylor Ok, I removed VLAN 1 from all ports related to the trunk and modem/router. That of course had the side effect of removing the ability to manage far switch. It also had no effect on the ability to get the modem to give an IP to the router. So, I shall return all this...

    I will remove VLAN 1 from the trunk and any other ports involved with the modem and router

    If that is both switches management VLAN and I remove it from the bridge/trunk how will the switches be managed?

    @ColinTaylor @Crimliar Ok, I reconfigure the router removing the VLAN and disabling IPTV Removed the LAN port on the WAN and disabled Dual WAN. Rebooted the router. Configured the switches as outlined, except keeping VLAN 1 on most ports as that is the management VLAN. I'm attaching two pics...

    Off to give this a try before resorting to outside CAT6, which will be a true pain.

    How then, will the ISP modem reach the far end to the router if not via VLAN? This isn't about segregating LAN address spaces.

    Solved Cable Modem->VLAN Tagged Switch->MoCA Adapter->MoCA Adapter->VLAN Tagged Switch->AX86U Router

    After testing, yes indeed, you do have to connect to a LAN port assigned under Dual WAN in order to get a connection. Connected to only the WAN port, ISP DHCP not functioning error. Move the cable to the LAN port assigned in Dual WAN, connected. So, Dual WAN and assigning a LAN port is needed if...

    Well, I configured as VLAN 10 (in case 100 was too big) restarted switches. Power cycled the modem, still get the "Your ISP's DHCP does not function properly" on the router. No MoCA involved, just cable between the devices on a bench. I then tried different combinations of tagged/untagged...

    Solved Cable Modem->VLAN Tagged Switch->MoCA Adapter->MoCA Adapter->VLAN Tagged Switch->AX86U Router

    You have to enable Dual WAN in order to have the LAN port appear. Only the LAN port will allow VLAN usage. So, first to LAN->IPTV set the VLAN ID for Internet. The to WAN->Dual WAN enable, then choose the secondary to be the LAN port you enabled for VLAN. WAN for some reason has to be the...

    Solved Cable Modem->VLAN Tagged Switch->MoCA Adapter->MoCA Adapter->VLAN Tagged Switch->AX86U Router

    I have a need to get the modem to another floor of a house that does not have the layout to pull ethernet cable from one location to the other. The cable modem also will not get moved as there are no drops in the area the router needs to be in. So, I thought, I'll just use the VLAN WAN...

    4 bay NAS for home usage

    Look at what you are asking. Sure, let's go 10Gbe. For what exactly? So my backup takes somewhat less time? At what cost? Do you have a handy cheap way to get new cabling where it will need to go? I could do 2.5Gbe, but even that cost would be prohibitive. New switches, new MoCA adapters, NIC...

    4 bay NAS for home usage

    @bitsbytes I see you have several new recommendations o_O It basically comes down to Synology or QNAP. It basically comes down to who has the best software for your use. Hardware? At a given level, I've not seen a huge difference. I'm sure you'll get some edge case use examples for 10Gbe LAN...

    4 bay NAS for home usage

    Synology is the brand you want. The device you are looking at does not have a 2.5 connection. It will aggregate the two LAN ports into one connection if you have a compatible switch. I'm told, but have not tried myself, that you can add a cheap 2.5 LAN dongle to get the better throughput to your...

    USB to 2.5Gbe adapter on AX88U

    Late in posting, sorry. Has anyone tried to assign IRQs to particular cores to avoid the CPU bound issues? I believe the CPU in a Pi 4 is somewhat better than that used in the AX routers, yet they need some manual tweaking when using a dongle to avoid becoming CPU bound with higher speed...

    If it were me, I'd use a single SSID and set each band to a manual channel avoiding the DFS channels.
