Proposed Network Designs / Just starting out
July 17, 2021, 03:40:16 PM
Hi all

Came across the Website and forum looking to set up a more efficient home network which I think is going to challenge me technically. So once I have my head around it, it would be great to share and get feedback on how messy it is.

To help discussions my planned set up will probably be mainly cat6 and wireless but I need to configure it more efficiently so here we go.

Proposed top level is as follows

ONT>modem/wifi router 3 Ethernet ports

One Direct connect to a TLink 8 port Ethernet switch next modem which feeds a NAS, TV, satellite TV box,Apple TV, AV reciever, blu ray!
One direct connect to another TLink 8 port Ethernet switch which feeds home printer, NAS backup, time machine, Mac running OSX and Windows, Work PC running windows
One direct connect to a TLink 4 port Ethernet switch which feeds another Apple TV ,TV and Bluray

Wireless connects various devices phones etc . I also use a system called serato music on the wireless to look up the NAS drive which holds digital music which feeds music on my macs.

Cables are in so Once I've sketched it all out properly I  will post.

Thanks

Al
