I would not suggest any of those soho routers, even if they support 3rd party to be honest... Get a real router, and then AP.. Yeah its even more separation.

 

Something like the sg1100 would be an entry level router.. $179 (price went up)

Then a real AP, say uap-ac-lite or pro 80$ for the lite.

 

Then switch that can do vlans, say $40...

 

Now your talking $300...   But there would be pretty much nothing you couldn't do.

^ He speaks the truth... It may sound like a heap of money, but you'd be better off.

yeah it'll require a bit more manual setup, but once done budman is right that kind of setup will work like a dream and give you WAY more flexibility and features compared to a general consumer router

Its not a heap of money if you want to actually run a real network ;)

 

###### I have seen soho wifi routers close to that.

here this freaking monstrosity is on sale and its 269$ Can't even do vlans - wtf???

Says list is $349

 

And now that your broken up your gear, you can piece meal expand and upgrade.. Want a better switch - just get a better switch.. You need wifi in another area - just buy another AP..

 

My current network gear is this

Modem - $79 (pays for itself already, since isp wanted $10 a month)

SG4860 - $750 router

SG300-28 $200 (2017) switch

SG300-10 $190 (2014) switch

UAP-AC-Pro  $130

UAP-AC-LR  $110

UAP-AC-Lite $90

 

This is the "network" gear, does not count upses, or nas and other devices..   Does not count switches on my self, or usgp3 on shelf, etc.

 

But I got the Lite and LR free, for being part of beta program on unifi, and good poster and supporter of other members..

 

Wasn't really in the market when I got the 28 port switch, but price was so good couldn't pass it up.. And now its ports are pretty close to full.  And prob would of went with the sg3100, but wasn't in stock when needed it.. And hey go big or go home ;)

 

But sure you could do it "cheaper" for sure.. Any $20 wifi router that can run 3rd party firmware could be used and prob will support vlans under 3rd party firmware be used as AP.. The switches that can do vlans can be had cheap $40 8 port gig.. And pfsense you could run any really any old hardware you have laying around...

Well, for somebody new to all this would call it expensive. But once they know how to set up everything, it is known as an investment.

 

I don't have the big boys like you, but I do have adequate hardware/software that works for me. :)

Yeah wouldn't expect anyone to jump on such hardware out of the gate.. Build up to it, but his is why you don't try and put everything in 1 box ;)

Ooooh, curve ball!

 

I'll need to ponder this for a bit. The gear will be sitting in my living room, so I'll still need consider that factor too. 

 

So let me make sure I follow you. Presume I still need a modem up front too, say that netgear DM200, which would connect to the Sg1100, then the uap-ac-lite connects into the the Sg1100. All local to each other?  Where and why does the cheap vlan switch come into it? I have a couple of netgear gs108uk at my disposal of that works? 

 

Well the sg1100 is limited on interfaces.. If you don't need wired connections that share same vlan as wireless - then you could skip on the vlan switch.  Connect your AP to port on sg1100 and do different wifi vlans. And then dumb switch could be on other port on router.. But you wouldn't be able to have wired and wireless on the same vlan without bridging in the router - which not good idea.

 

You could put in cabinet to hide the modem, router and switch - but your AP should really be mounted where it can best cover the space you want covered.

 

Those switches are dumb.. Can not do vlans.. Which you could get away as long as you don't want to put wired devices on multiple networks.

    • I can tell you I don't need one. I use Start11 to make it Win10 styled and custom game tiles so it's essentially an easier way to launch games than opening Steam but I definitely don't 'need' it and don't use it to launch any applications.

    • Is the Start menu in Windows actually useful? Do we even need it? by Usama Jawad A few days ago, I shared my viewpoint regarding how Microsoft hasn't been able to convince me to migrate to Windows 11 as my sole daily driver, despite the OS being available for roughly four years. Within that piece, I highlighted the fact that even though the Start menu has been completely revamped in the latest version of Windows, it's not something that I use regularly. And that got me thinking: is the Start menu really a crucial piece of my Windows experience? I get it, I know that the Start menu is an iconic Windows element that has existed in the operating system for as long as many of us can remember. And yet, I can't really tell you about the last time I actually used the Start menu. The reason for italicizing the word "used" above is that while the Start menu can be launched when you click on the Windows icon in the Taskbar or the Windows key, I am not counting that as actual usage for the purpose of this piece. This is because I do launch the Start menu several times a day, I actually use it to get to Windows Search. I don't actually use the list of apps, app folders, and recently opened files. I simply tap the Windows key and start typing the search query for the item that I am looking for. For example, if I want to open Power BI, I don't open the Start menu and find the pinned app. I just tap on the Windows key and start typing "Po..." and quickly hit Enter as soon as the right option comes up, which is usually after a couple of keystrokes. Similarly, if I want to open "Gifts.xlsx", I don't open Excel from the Start menu or even peruse my list of recently opened files, I just start typing "Gi..." and press Enter. I feel like this is a much faster experience and you don't need to rely on muscle memory to find the item that you are looking for. And as your list of installed software grows, it only becomes more tedious to keep track of where you pinned an app or the folder that you kept it in. Windows Search gets rid of that problem completely. Additionally, the Start menu detracts me from whatever else I may be focusing on in parallel. If I am using Word and now want to open PowerPoint, I would probably get distracted by the Start menu as I launch it and try to locate the PowerPoint icon. Instead, I can just get to PowerPoint within a few keystrokes without even realizing the effort involved. I'd also like to highlight that I am not inherently against the idea of pinning stuff that you use frequently or recently, but I do think that the Taskbar and Desktop view already solves that problem to some extent. Right now, my Taskbar contains my most used software, while my desktop contains other secondary software and files. I understand that people have their fair share of complaints against Windows Search, but it works quite well for my use-cases. As it currently stands, my actual usage of the Start menu is nil. And although this popular Windows UX is always the subject of debate each time Microsoft makes even a minor change to it, I simply couldn't care less. That said, while the Start menu in its traditional use is dead to me, I am not sure how many people actively utilize this UX. Any evidence I have is purely anecdotal, but I would be very interested in seeing the telemetry that Microsoft tracks regarding its usage. Seeing how frequently Microsoft makes changes to the Start menu and the ensuing debate that follows, I feel like I am in the minority. But I just can't imagine opening the Start menu and then relying on muscle memory or a fixed grid of icons to get to the app I need, when I can do more with a couple of keystrokes.
    • >Fixed: Certain displays might be unexpectedly green. I believe that this fixed the Windows mishandling Dolby Vision issue in RGB 12 bit Full mode we saw recently.
