    Isolating IP cams and NVR from the rest of the network with VLAN

    I am likely wrong but wouldn't you connect the unmanaged POE switch that the ip cams are hooked to, to a port on the managed switch, and then set that one port on the managed switch to tag everything as 300?

    Isolating IP cams and NVR from the rest of the network with VLAN

    I could put the NVR in the garage but it's hooked up to a monitor and mouse on a desk in the loft for real time monitoring and for reviewing video. I don't think I could have the same setup in the loft otherwise. I don't really like the IP cam traffic going through my home ethernet as it takes...

    Isolating IP cams and NVR from the rest of the network with VLAN

    I am a total VLAN noob trying to work my way through this. I'm trying to isolate my IP cams from my home network due to security risks I've heard regarding IP cams. My Asus RT-AX88U Pro router is located centrally on the second floor of my house in sort of a hallway loft that is open to the...

    Kid's wi-fi network with Guest Network Pro - How do I enable content filtering?

    I didn't get any responses but I wanted to update with what Asus said. They said "After creating a Kids network, you would need to go to the Kids network profile that you just created and go to advanced settings to manually setup a preferred DNS server for content filtering. " My interface...

    Kid's wi-fi network with Guest Network Pro - How do I enable content filtering?

    I’m able to apply content filters through Parental Controls on each device, but this method isn’t always reliable due to randomized MAC addresses. That’s why I set up a separate Kid’s Wi-Fi network in the first place. However, I can’t find an option to manage filtering for this specific network.

    Upgrading now. RT-AX88U Pro -OR- RT-BE88U?

    I'm afraid I'm in the US. I wish we had this offer here.

    Did I set up my home network correctly?

    Currently the cams go to a poe switch in the garage because most of the cams are nearby and can be ran through the attic. The garage is the only place that has an attic due to vaulted ceilings in the rest of the house. The poe switch is hooked into the main network switch so it can go to the nvr...

    Did I set up my home network correctly?

    My current router is end of life so I just thought I'd re-evaluate my setup and see if it's suboptimal to have my router in the middle of the house and away from where all of my cat5e drops. Plus it's sort of fun. I plan to get a gig connection eventually. I've got about 100 mbps of constant...

    Did I set up my home network correctly?

    I wonder if there is any benefit replacing the Asus router in the center of the house with an Ubiquiti Cloud Gateway Max in the garage with the network panel and then an access point or two in the house.

    Did I set up my home network correctly?

    The issue with putting my wifi router with the switch in the garage network panel is its on the far side of the house and has a lot of HVAC equipment blocking the wifi signal to the rest of the house. I suspect there is a way to run a modem and non-wifi router in my garage network panel and then...

    Did I set up my home network correctly?

    Just like the cat5e, all of the coaxial cable also goes to the network box in the garage. However I don't currently use any of the coaxial wall jacks in my house except for the one that goes to my modem and my modem is next to my router in the central part of my house. I have that one coax wall...

    Did I set up my home network correctly?

    Hello. I'm a bit of a novice but I set up my home network a few years ago and now that I'm looking to replace my current router (AC Asus model), I want to make sure I have everything optimized. My network is comprised of about 16+ wired connections (poe cameras, desktop, streaming devices, etc)...

    Upgrading now. RT-AX88U Pro -OR- RT-BE88U?

    For those that don't think the BE88 is worth $110 more than the AX88 Pro, do you think the AX88 Pro is worth $40 more than the AX86 Pro?

    Upgrading now. RT-AX88U Pro -OR- RT-BE88U?

    I'm looking to upgrade my EOL Asus RT-AC68U. Would you go with the AX88U Pro or the BE88U or something else? My concern with the AX88U is I'm not sure how long Asus will support it. My concern with the BE88U is it's still new and unproven. I've never used Merlin firmware so that's not a big...
