    Needs some help on setting up WAP571 correctly

    Change the Bridge Priority to something low like 1024 so that it is lower than any other device on your network and that should do it.

    Needs some help on setting up WAP571 correctly

    @ddaenen1 That's a Netgear switch correct? You have to set the priority of the switch. Let me go plug one of mine in and I'll get you some pictures.

    Cisco WAP581 Wireless Access Point

    No I didn't. I'm still using a UniFi AP's at home. The fact that I couldn't combine models from the same series into a single Cluster was a deal breaker for me. I wanted the WAP581 for my main AP, a WAP571 as the secondary for the house, and then a WAP371 for the shop and the old garage but I...

    Looking for an 8-port switch that supports VLAN's (POE a plus) with ports on the back for a desktop

    Thanks for that info. I didn't think about them be different. I may just give up on the POE option and just go with one of these.

    Looking for an 8-port switch that supports VLAN's (POE a plus) with ports on the back for a desktop

    Thanks for the suggestion and warnings. There was a bit of a learning curve at first but I have it all working between my Cisco, Netgear, and EdgeSwitch currently. I took it as a challenge to get them all working :) The Netgear is nice except the interface is from 1995 and working VLAN's in...

    Looking for an 8-port switch that supports VLAN's (POE a plus) with ports on the back for a desktop

    The title basically says it all. I'm looking to add another VLAN to my network but I need another switch to do this under my TV since I have a Roku there as well that will need to be moved to another VLAN and I currently only have a dumb switch there. I need a switch with the ports on the rear...

    Cisco RV320 router Security Vulnerability

    What exactly does the "Support" mean? The Downloads page for it shows the latest firmware release is from 2015/01/23 from what I'm seeing https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/routers/rv180-vpn-router/model.html#~tab-downloads Haven't there been numerous things in the past 4 years that should...

    Cisco RV320 router Security Vulnerability

    I know a business that still uses a RV180 and they even bought a spare "just in case". I told them it was a bad idea but they don't care.

    Data usage monitoring per device.

    I liked the Cisco RV325 when I used that but I have moved on to greener pastures. I now run Untangle on pretty nice hardware (Supermicro 5018D-FN8T) and it will do everything that you want it to do. The reporting is actually very good. Here's a sample for the month of February at my house...

    For Sale: Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Pro (ERPro-8), Used but in excellent condition - $230 shipped CONUS

    I'm a tinkerer and decided to build a router so I no longer need this. It has been great and I will miss it. I have been running it for about a year now with no issues. It has the latest version of EdgeOS installed and I will reset it back to factory defaults prior to shipping. If someone...

    AX routers are coming but they come with Gigabit ethernet......

    There's no reason to except for commercial settings. Most people are lucky to have DSL anyway much less gigabit fiber. We are just getting fiber service next year here actually but not gigabit yet. Most WiFi devices don't have more than a 2X2 antenna either. The laptop I'm typing on now has...

    Recommend cat6 cable and RJ45

    I haven't used them but have read times on respected sites about potential issues which was enough for me to avoid them. I've only crimped a couple hundred regular connectors though so far I guess at home and at work. Terminating cables with normal connectors isn't hard and the tools are...

    Cat6 for 10GB copper home network

    I admit I wan to do it at home but I just don't see a point to it at this time. Good switches are too expensive to be practical imo but you are right that with multiple drives in RAID it could happen. Writes though no RAID 5 even with 6 drives couldn't max out a 10Gb/s connection could it?

    Recommend cat6 cable and RJ45

    If it works well for you then that's great I just want to avoid any possibility of issues on my home network since a piece of dead equipment comes out of my own pocket and it doesn't take that much longer to use standard connectors. It's just too much of a risk versus little reward for me.

    Cat6 for 10GB copper home network

    I haven't tried it but I will say that having media on both ends of the connection (ie HDD's) that can actually fully saturate a 10Gbe connection isn't likely unless they are NVMe drives.

    Recommend cat6 cable and RJ45

    I'd buy this cable - https://www.provantage.com/tripp-lite-n222-01k-bl~7TRPA1A8.htm I'd buy these connectors - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01K9Z4FT2/?tag=snbforums-20 I have used lots of both and they both are excellent. The cable is solid copper and 23awg. It is also Made in the USA...

    Backbone - fiber or UTP

    I trenched in conduit and ran non-armored OM3 fiber between my house and shop last year that are about 25yds apart. It was well worth the effort to avoid any grounding/lightning issues. It was also fun playing with the new switches that I bought and fiber as I'd never used fiber before.

    Channel width question

    No problem. Here is an image that kind of explains the channels.

    Enterprise Network For Your Home? One Man's Journey...

    Thanks! I got that SG350-28P as an open box off of eBay for $255 shipped with full warranty so I couldn't pass it up. That rack is in my basement so it is pretty much 75F or below ambient there. Right now that switch is running at 38C and the fan is running at 7163rpm it appears. I would...
