I really enjoyed the tp link omada equipment the only thing I wish is if they gave one of the router ports poe for the controller and then used both ports so one as a in line then one as a out line to the switch instead of needing the plug the controller into a switch port on its own and missing out on using that port

Didnt you have a gateway? Why doesnt apear? Why the internet shows N/A?

Phase One of my installation was the installation of three Omada switches (TL-SG2210MP, TL-SG2008 qty2) and the controller behind a Linksys WRT3200ACM router, this was completed two weeks ago. Phase Two will involve swapping out the Linksys router for the Omada router, adding 2 access points and maybe 2 additional Omaha POE switches. Question, how is the coverage for the access point? I'm trying to determine how many to buy.

@RaidOwl

2 жыл бұрын

Nice! Thats a nice setup you've got going on over there. The coverage is fairly decent I'd say. The AP is in an optimal location (ceiling of 2nd story open loft) and on WiFi6 enabled device we are getting over 80% throughput (compared to standing directly under it) from anywhere in the 3,500 sq ft house. Even outside in the backyard we got reasonable coverage. I would say if you're looking for steady 95%+ from everywhere in your house then 2 APs should suffice but if you just want decent coverage then 1 of these is perfectly adequate for this house.

Thanks.

It is support ldap ?

Great video. I have a ISP all-in-one modem/router/access point. When upgrading to a system like this, what settings do you turn off in the ISP's device e.g. routing, wifi, firewall etc. Most of the videos I've seen focus on the settings in the new devices but not what to do with your existing ISPs device, which would effectively be a moden only when you upgrade. Can you point me in the right direction?

Great and informative video. Considering upgrading my network but can it function connected to my ISP-supplied Zyxel XMG3512-B10a DSL router?

@Eternal_Tech

Жыл бұрын

Yes, but you should place your ISP-provided Zyxel in bridge mode. This will disable the Zyxel's routing functions, but maintain its DSL modem functions. Basically, this will make your Zyxel just a modem. You would then connect the TP-Link router to the Zyxel using an Ethernet cable. The switch would then be connected to the TP-Link router. Everything else (e.g. controller, access points, computers) should connect to the switch. On Zyxel's Support section, there is an article entitled, "Setting the VMG as Modem Bridge Mode," which will explain the process. Unfortunately, KZread will not allow me to post a link.

Curious if you set up a DMZ for the TP Link router in the at&t gateway. When I set up clients with at&t that's typically what I'll do, waiting for the day where we aren't required to use their gateway.

He is keeping ATT as his ISP. This setup is entirely separate from what your ISP provides you (unless you want to upgrade to a third-party modem). 100Mbps is pretty solid and this setup would have no problem utilizing that. Where a setup like this shines, though, is transferring data over LAN so between devices within your network.

You should set your current integrated router/modem (gateway) into bridge mode. This will keep the modem function, but disable the routing functions. Then, you can connect a router to your current gateway and there will be no IP address conflicts between the two devices.

Well your internet service isn’t really a factor if you’re looking at device to device communications, like if you have a NAS or media server or something. If you don’t have any of that then even 2.5G would be overkill.

At this point, I have almost nothing that can support 10 Gbps or 2.5 Gbps or wireless 6 or 6e. With that said, I'm not buying any new equipment without it having at least 2.5 Gbps or wireless 6e.
