Also
I'll also need to do an equipment upgrade in the near future. Thinking
of replacing our stopgap all-in-one device with Ubiquiti kit, e.g. an
EdgeRouter, POE AP, switch. Anyone have experience with this? Is it
overkill for a small home network?
My home network is a little over the top, but it works well and I'm able
to do anything I might want.
I have a FTTN connection which was using a draytek router in bridge mode
but recently switch to a TP-LINK Archer VR1600v (in bridge mode) on the
recommendation of a regional ISP owner I do work for. This increased my
speed by close to 15Mbit to 92Mbit/28Mbit.
This is connected to a PC router (6 ethernet ports) running a standard
Linux and a 24 POE switch. I like the flexibility of a full Linux disto
for my router.
The WIFI is provided by three UniFi AP's and we use VoIP for the phones
in the home office and five portable phones for the home service.
I'm a fan of Proxmox and so I have a server with 16 drives running LXC
and KVM images. This runs the PBX, UniFi Controller, MythTV Backend and
a number of other services.
So your question about overkill ?
Good Internet with good WIFI coverage and all the wired Ethernet you can
get is a great idea.
The cost of power is probably the biggest issue and reducing this has
been a focus of mine of the last few years.
Cheers
Mike
