Hi, Not sure how it is in your contry, but in Belgium the TV box is pluged directly in the modem in in an switch in the modem, before the router. The reason is the tv box does not get an IP on the local network. Wich mean taht you cannot ad switch on the this cable to plug something local in...

have a look at the ubnt forum. I have read some things about those. First impressions are good from what i read.

Hp has a new 1820 and 1620 in their product range.

Hi, I hve been quite busy lately, but i'm looking at the following steps, i'm trying to puit my network on paper to see what i need and how to configure it. One important (and probably the thing i'm not sure of) is that my STB need direct access to internet, so it means i connect them...

Danne, I knew you would be one of the first to reply ;-) Wel that was also what i was thinking, KISS I guess... Traffic from the HD Ipcams throug the router to the NAS won't be a problem according to you? I was planning to go aal Static IP's, i don't know DHCP with staic lease, but i'll...

Hi, It's been some time since I gave an update, I have beel a little sick, and busy at work. In the meantime I bought an edgeswitch POE 24G and a unifi AP Pro. I only had time to basicly intall the AP Pro wich i'm very happy with. (still have to configure guest network) But i have been...

other suggestions?

thanks for your reply, so i can't go wrong reading the reviews of the ERL.

@Diizzy What do you mean about the 10y old router? Yes i know about alle the positive reviews about the ERL, i interested in the ER8 Is there any negative about using the ER8 insterad of the ERL, besides the price? I the user interface the same?

Tripp lite looks good also. Is should have said i m looking for a closed rack, with side doors and front door

I have a 160/25 connection. My current router (dlink) is like 10 yea old, I don't mind spending a little more on the er8 if it's good and will last also 10y...

I prefer the er8 because 1. it has a faster processor ( might be useful if hardware nat is disabled), 2. It is 1u rack mountable ( I know that erl can be rack mounted but it costs like 60€ I preference to spent the extra€€ on the er8 The es 24 250w wil be used with 3 uap pro's and a bunch...

Yes taht is the oen i found also, but would like to see other options. This one is not the cheapest...

thanks for your reply, i have heard many positive users reviews of the ERL, wondering how the edgeswitch id doing.

Hi, The title says it all, do you have any recommendations for this kind of rack, I only found Middle Atlantic. Depth 17inch should be enough for router, switches, sonos, modem and synology nas. It has to be wall mounted Thanks

Hi, I'm in the proces of choosing my hardware for my home network rack, i heard some good and some bad about those products, as this is an investment i would like to have more user feedback form these I'm looking at this products: Edgeswitch 24 POE 250W Edgerouter 8 ER-8 Thanks

@ exploding taco, What product have you decided to go for? Edgeswitch?

3 years, such a product shouldn't fail in the 3 years, i wonder what their MTBF is!

I guess that's why we spend so many hours on forums ;-) there is much more in a community's head that my head alone ;-)

Danne, Good one, small, cable attaching strips, i'll go with those think.

That is what i was thinking of. i think i'll give this a try

another setup would be: witch one would be best knowing that : - the AP's are maintly for internet access - that the the ip cam's are HD, they stream one the internet - the NAS is recording the IPcams HD stream. - 2 of the 42 users need Hi bandwith internet access - NAS is streaming...

I this case i do not see what advantage the HP 1810 over the 1620 Does someone know if the edgerouter-8 or pro does link aggregation? The specs says 802.3ad but I can't find anything about it in the user manual Same question for the edgeswitch 24G POE I ask this because i would this setup:

Partly me, but you have to know when it's not a new build, you have so much to take into account, that you're often happy to be able to route 4 utp cables to your living room...

Like i said this is not an option, to many turn in the concerte, if it failes i lose the cables... I don't want to take the risk. solder or twist is not a good option IMHO So i guess i'll try shielded couplers and see what happens.

do you think there is any difference between plug cable coupler and punch couplers? I think the twist rate disturbation is shorter with punch coupler isn't it?

Hi, I'm in the proces of rebuilding my home network, and put a new rack(cabinet) but not at the same place it used to be. Some cable are long enought, but other are going to mis 2-3m, what is the best way to lengthen them? I found plug cable couplers and punch couplers. any differences in...

Danne, Thanks for the link, i stopped for today at chapter4, still a little bit to go, but i learned a lot! I checked, i have 43 non POE hosts, si i got 1or 2(lacp) left to connect the POE switch and 1or 2(lacp) for the router. 1 spare! We just cut the costs dramaticaly ;-) Have you looked at...

Danne, it seems i'm starting to laern and understand, that was also my idea, not much added value ;-) Do you know a good "tutorial" training course on the web lilke a network building for dummies? i still think i'm missing some basic concepts... about the second switch, wel i was going...

1. i wil read the datasheet of the ERL and ER-8, i found the 1U trays for the ERL, looks ok, but quite expensive like 60$ and the ERL is 100$ the ER-8 is 300$, integrated psu and 1u rack. i have to look at the added value of the ER-8 (besides the faster cpu) 2.Yes i understand, but like just...

Sorry for my english (i'm from Belgium) but what is OP? Can you explain this:"Only traffic that should be hitting the router should be between the LAN and the Internet and not between internal devices. The ERL will be able to do close to 900Mbit (WAN to LAN routing) with that setup. " So you...

@Diizzy 1. Ok my bad, i didn't know you were talking about the 3 ports, i want something rackable so at least the ER-8, not sure what the added value of the erpro-8 would be for me. 8 port POE wich one is that? do you any suggestion for ARM or x86 based routers? 2. ok, that right i have to...

which means? I can reacht he 320mbits even with software NAT?

1. Ok, youre talking about ER-8 AND ERPro-8? what router would handle the 320mbit? 2.-3. ok i understand that, but is option 1 beter? since a ER8 pro or not has 8 ports, this can be done. Or would it be better to take option 2 with the SFP ports linking the router and the "main switch"? and...

@Diizzy Thanks this is a little more clear for me. @all We have looked at the hardware choices, but i think we (i) need to look first at the hardware requirements. - Given my internet speed (160mbit) possibly 320mBit in the futur Is the UBNT Edgerouter enough? - How should i...

@Diizzy, I'll print the datasheet of the Zyxel and have a look. But you seem to know more, what would i mis with the HP's? I tought NAT was Always used, how to deal wip SIP then? And what is the difference between software and hardware NAT (exept that one uses the hadware to translate)...

Interesting post, but i'm affraid my knowlage is too limited, wat is Vlan offload?

@firedrow, monprice does not ship to Belgium unfortunatly. Have you deployed unifi AC AP's yet? I do not want to invest at time in not AC AP's as this setup as to be a little futureproof. Also a tought i understood that you don't need to run the controleler permanently, this is just for...

Are you satisfied with the toughswitch Pro? Any negatives points? can you switch off some ports? so if i use only 10 of the 24 ports of a edgeswitch i can turn of the power of 14 ports?

I need wall mounted, because is basement and we already 2x flooding there not too much but you never know, with wall mounted i'm safe! I'm looking for a 2 side removable panels or flipping design cabinet. found the Middle Atlantic DWR-24-17PD but it's quite expensive
