    Desperately need advice on upgrading my slow mixed network (SRP541W)

    If I can find them! Where do you guys shop? I need something other than Amazon, but my normal place (B&H) doesn't have everything recommended. USA-based shopper, here.

    I've been reading up. It seems TP and Asus have that in common.

    Makes sense, and that's what I'm doing. I'll look at B&H now for that hardware.

    I see a bunch of used Cisco switches on eBay, such as WS-C3560X-24P-S, WS-C3750X-48PF-S, SGE2010, etc. Which one would you recommend for the main switch?

    I guess I have another question. You mention both Core Managed and just Managed switches. Why the TL-SG2428P? That's not exclusively for PoE cameras, is it? Core Managed PoE Switch: TL-SG2428P ($500) X# of Managed Access Switches

    Damn. Docker didn't even cross my mind. And there is a very popular image available for it: mbentley/omada-controller

    Desperately need advice on upgrading my slow mixed network (SRP541W)

    This is great info. Exactly what I need. I'll start reading up on them and make a choice between the different models. Yeah, NO cloud is my number one priority, so I'm glad I that's not forced. I think the only question I have is what's the point of the OC200 Omada Controller? Doesn't the...

    Thanks for the suggestion. What do you recommend for APs and a smart switch, assuming I already plan on getting the ng2100? What companies make APs, that don't require cloud accounts to manage? Same with smart switches. Ubiq is a hard no. I think Aruba might force cloud account to...

    This is my understanding. LAN3 is something special I'd like, allowing LAN1 devices access to the cameras/recorder, but not the other way around.

    Desperately need advice on upgrading my slow mixed network (SRP541W)

    Right. So, here is where we're at. NetGate 2100, a standard non-PoE switch, and one AP. I guess I just need recommendation on a switch and WiFi 6 AP. My only question is, can I create different SSIDs and somehow add at least one of them to the same VLAN as the switched devices? What would...

    Desperately need advice on upgrading my slow mixed network (SRP541W)

    @Tech9 Fair enough. So, let's say a ng2100. Two LANS for APs, one LAN for a PoE switch for cameras, and the other for a switch for computers/printers. The 2100 is $350. If I went with one AP for now (which ones do you recommend?), skip the cameras for now, and buy a switch for LAN...

    Desktops (wireless & wired), Raspberry Pis (wireless), Nintendo console (wireless), laptops (wireless & wired), tablets, network printer (wired), phones, voodoo dolls and séance crystal balls. I will want to add PoE cameras in the future.

    Desperately need advice on upgrading my slow mixed network (SRP541W)

    @degrub My fear with Cisco is that they drop support for the product you're out of luck for security fixes. The last update I had on the 541W was in 2012, another reason I'm eagar to replace it. Also, Cisco VPN software seems to require some sort of paid support, at least when I tried to grab...

    Desperately need advice on upgrading my slow mixed network (SRP541W)

    @coxhaus I know. Now you understand my desperation to upgrade. :) I just haven't kept track of the technology, and there are so many new products on the market. This seems like the best place to get input.

    I can learn as long as it is capable. I'm really interested in what APs I should get. Will probably need two.

    Desperately need advice on upgrading my slow mixed network (SRP541W)

    Let me first start off that I'm not a network professional, so I may not understand some terminology. I only know what I researched over a decade ago, and was pretty limited to mostly consumer-grade products. That said, I need to upgrade my aged network. Below is what I have, and what I...
