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)

https://www.netgate.com/solutions/pfsense/sg-1100.html

 

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.

    • Tech demos are a declaration of desire, an horizon for what they pretend to put on those boxes call consoles (i still laugh at the poor implementation of Hairworks in W3 when you compare it with the demos)...being made on UE5 doesn't give me any confidence considering how poorly it runs in those things, and CDPR is not a marvel in that aspect neither. And about the game, so far is non existent besides the cinematic trailer. If from the get go they have to justify the whys for the protagonist, you start your narrative with the left foot.
    • Seen a 5090 for just over $3,000 at Best Buy just a couple days ago. It wasn't the sticker price that made me laugh... it's knowing that, for now... that kind of investment that includes drivers that don't work, is a headache no one should have to shell out for. But.. it's not the first time Nvidia has choked on crappy drivers, won't be the last.. so, if you spent a pretty penny on the next gen, hang in there... sure they'll get it right some day here soon.

    • Sorry, I found your question odd, that's all 😅.
    • "LOL The IoT version is for embedded systems" LOL. The IoT version is for whatever you want, why are you so stuck up? It's just A NAME. Open your mind, buddy 😅. It's not a different version of Windows, only the licensing model and the support dates change, nothing else. "there no real reason to do that" Everyone has their reasons. You love to use Linux. Why? You have YOUR reasons. Other people will have theirs. I use Windows 11 and Linux on the side. Why? I have my reasons. "No security updates? Who cares!" Many people do, just not you. Why not use a supported OS instead of an unsupported one if you can? LOL. I find it odd that a person that loves Linux and choice/freedom so much has such a hard time understanding why people do things different than him.
