    Outdoor WiFi access for iot devices

    Don’t really want to put any windows in the shed and the irrigation controller only has wifi connectivity, no lan port. I just learned of the existence of tiny routers like the Mikrotik MAP Lite or TP-Link Nano router which look very promising. The mikrotik can also be powered by PoE which is...

    Outdoor WiFi access for iot devices

    The house is about 20 years old, brick veneer construction. I live in Australia, don’t know what low-E glass is, but I don’t think there is anything special about our windows. The windows are fairly large, pretty much floor to ceiling and there are also some glass folding doors (4 sections) at...

    Outdoor WiFi access for iot devices

    My pool cleaning robot connects to the internet by using wifi only from its control box. This control box is in the far corner of my back yard and it frequently experiences dropouts. I have two ASUS routers connected in AiMesh mode with the main router centrally located in the house and...

    Help with isolating camera and IoT networks

    I have a couple spare RPi 4B boards lying around. Can I connect one of the pi’s to the main router, say with the wifi interface (or a USB ethernet adapter if that is better) and then connect the built in ethernet port from the pi to a managed switch to create the various VLAN’s for the camera...

    Help with isolating camera and IoT networks

    I’ve had some issues with Fresh Tomato on the DSL-AC68U. For some reason I am unable to access the router GUI with an ethernet cable connected directly between a laptop and the router. The laptop is dual boot with Windows 10 Pro on one drive and Linux Mint Cinnamon on the other drive. The...

    Help with isolating camera and IoT networks

    Ahhh, ok. I will check again. I don’t recall seeing anywhere to tell windows if it is a public or private network, but I was rushing when I was doing all this. The wifi didn’t connect immediately because it was a new network that it had not joined before, but the two wifi networks did show up in...

    Help with isolating camera and IoT networks

    What is the reason you recommend to not use an NVR with PoE built in? Currently I am leaning towards using a managed switch and Zoneminder on my spare testing laptop. This laptop is dual boot Linux Mint and Windows 10 Pro which I use to experiment with and not worry about losing important data...

    Help with isolating camera and IoT networks

    Sorry, I misunderstood you initial reply connecting the AC68U to the AX82U. I assumed it was a LAN-LAN connection between the routers, not LAN-WAN where the WAN port of the 68 is connected to a LAN port of the 82, but its good to know it will still work connected LAN-LAN and use the 68U as an AP...

    Help with isolating camera and IoT networks

    Haven’t gone very far down the NVR rabbit hole yet. Not yet sure whether to use a seperate NVR standalone box or setup my spare laptop as the NVR running something like zoneminder. I did some quick searches on the tplink VIGI NVR which is compatible with my existing cameras which are also tplink...

    Help with isolating camera and IoT networks

    That sounds promising. Just to be sure I understand you, after I flash Fresh Tomato to the AC68U, I set up the various VLANs for the IoT and camera networks in this router, like this? Will I still be able to also use the 68U to extend the primary wifi network from the AX82U to fill the gap in...

    Help with isolating camera and IoT networks

    Hi, I need some help with understanding how to create isolated networks at home to seperate cameras and IoT devices from the main network. I currently have an ASUS RT-AX82U as the main router connecting to my isp and an ASUS DSL-AC68U connected to the main router as a mesh node to give improve...
