    From public fixed IPv4 to private dynamic IPv4 + public dynamic IPv6 (dual stack)

    Thank you. Is there a difference between Wireguard and Zerotier or Tailscale? Edit: answer is here:

    From public fixed IPv4 to private dynamic IPv4 + public dynamic IPv6 (dual stack)

    Unfortunately not, they only offer (rent) Fritzbox modem-wifi routers

    From public fixed IPv4 to private dynamic IPv4 + public dynamic IPv6 (dual stack)

    In Europe ports are not blocked, which is a good thing. Re the modem, the only issue I have is that it should be compliant with DOCSIS® 3.1. So the choice is quite limited and could be something like the following: https://www.surfboard.com/products/cable-modems/sb8200/...

    Advice on VLAN organization

    Thank you for your important clarifications. One curiosity, my current router (Asus RT-AC86U with Merlin) does not support VLAN. But I have an integrated Omada network, with 2 managed switches and 5 Wifi 6 Access Points. Do you mean that I could create VLANs already with the current setup, or...

    Advice on VLAN organization

    I forgot to mention that is course every VLAN would have internet access :) The router is not decided yet (current one is not VLAN capable), but I want to understand - when I will get one - how to take advantage of it.

    Advice on VLAN organization

    Hi all, In my educational journey, I am trying to conceptually (for now) explore how I could better organize my internal home network using VLANs. The ultimate purpose is to allow me to monitor and increase the security of my network, while keeping a user friendly environment. I was therefore...

    RT-ac86u + 4/5 rt-ac68u AiMesh nodes upgrade advice

    Thank you, I hope to receive a feedback by @Smokey613 soon (as I could actually be in the US in the upcoming days, so I could in case avoid heavy custom duties). Indeed what I plan is to segment my Security cameras and home alarm and then create a Guest Network (without access to my servers)...

    RT-ac86u + 4/5 rt-ac68u AiMesh nodes upgrade advice

    Speaking about router (yesterday indeed I had to reboot it as it was completely dead): for which one I should go? I am looking for something pro-sumer but not too complicated. I was intrigued by Firewalla Gold (maybe even Plus, to be future proof), but there are plenty out there. It seems to...

    RT-ac86u + 4/5 rt-ac68u AiMesh nodes upgrade advice

    Ok, thanks. I will then work around. Is the AI WLAN Optimisation actually useful?

    RT-ac86u + 4/5 rt-ac68u AiMesh nodes upgrade advice

    This seems strange to me, as this did not happen with AiMesh, no?

    RT-ac86u + 4/5 rt-ac68u AiMesh nodes upgrade advice

    Thank you Tech9. I see and agree with your point. Re Fast Roaming, I put the 5 AC with TX Low (I think they are all 9 tx now). However I see that connection still drops and move from one AP to the other is not, ironically, seamless. In the Advanced Feature of the Site panel, I have the...

    RT-ac86u + 4/5 rt-ac68u AiMesh nodes upgrade advice

    I am confused: why then WiFi6 is advertised everywhere [1]? I though that "WiFi6" meant 6GHz band. [1] https://www.tp-link.com/us/business-networking/omada-sdn-access-point/eap615-wall/ Edit: ok, I got it, 6GHz is for WiFi 6E. Well, reading around I get that it would probably make more sense...

    How can they be reduced? Edit: found it https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/2511/

    RT-ac86u + 4/5 rt-ac68u AiMesh nodes upgrade advice

    Here I am again, with an update! Yesterday evening I finally received 5 EAP615-wall after having received at the beginning of the week 2 TL-SG2210MP (and the OC200 last week). Having already done all the set-up on the Controller and cabling around switches, everything has been as easy as...

    RT-ac86u + 4/5 rt-ac68u AiMesh nodes upgrade advice

    Ahahha, true, I like to think big, but take it slowly. What something else exists that better match the rest of the system? For example, I read this[1] article, which seems related to someone with a similar situation. [1] https://anebula.io/pfsense-tplink-omada-home-network/

    RT-ac86u + 4/5 rt-ac68u AiMesh nodes upgrade advice

    A little update to say that I have received a TP-Link OC200 and a TL-sg2218, which however did not offer PoE (I got it wrong from Amazon, so I will send it back and get a TL-SG2210MP as duly suggested by @Tech9), and I am still waiting to get the EAP615-Wall. While I am waiting, I was looking...

    Can't find my public ip address

    You are right. I was confusing the two. Interesting to know that there is no NAT in IPv6 (at least in Asus routers). Where exactly? This is by the way why I revamped this thread. And this is indeed the scary part. I will definitely need to read more before playing with this, as I do not want...

    Can't find my public ip address

    I am trying to play around IPv6. Speaking with my ISP, I already have a dynamic public IPv6. My ISP modem is set in bridge mode to my Asus router (RT-AC86U with merlin's fw). If I go to Advanced Settings -> IPv6 and enable IP (Native protocol + DHCP-PD enabled), I can indeed see through...

    You mean with the wifi? Yes, this is ongoing ;-)

    From public fixed IPv4 to private dynamic IPv4 + public dynamic IPv6 (dual stack)

    If I can get the new modem for free or reduced cost, it may be worth. Let's see :)
