>Araknis Networks® 110 Series Unmanaged+ Gigabit Compact Switch (16 Port) $344.95

BWAHAHAHAHA

Yeah you can get an unmanaged switch for less than 20% of that: https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-16-Port-Gigabit-Ethernet-Unmanaged/dp/B01AX8XHRQ/

Heck, you can get a decent managed switch for half of that: https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-JGS516PE-100NAS-Rackmount-Lifetime-Protection/dp/B00GG1ACX2/

>Araknis Power Supply for Compact Network Switch - 48V $59.99

So really this is a $405 switch because literally every switch I've ever bought includes the damn power supply.

> Parts and supplies used to complete the project. (RJ45 ends, RJ45 keystones)$50.00

This... actually isn't a bad price. A good crimping tool can run you $25 to $50. A box of connectors is at lest $10 and keystone jacks are probably more.

>Labor $570 for 3 hours

(LAUGHS IN DEBT) What a friggin rip off.

I would rate this as pretty good "competent beginner" stuff. The hardest part is getting the connectors wired correctly. Once you've done that a few times (prepare to make some bad cables) it's actually very easy.

Here is my $.02

I'd get the Edgerouter-X SFP version firstly. It has the ability to push 24v PoE (Unlike the standard ER-X which only accepts 24v PoE passthrough). Then pick up however many Ubiquiti Access points you plan on using. Maybe one or two UAP-AC-Lites or UAP-AC-LRs. Then just run a couple cables from your router to a port you want your Access points to be connected to. Option 2 would be to run separate cables for the access points if you don't want to use an existing jack for these. That way you don't need the injectors. It would be PoE all the way through.

For the switch, there are a few options. It has already been mentioned that you will need one port to be the uplink to your router and that switches typically come in 8,16,24, and 48 port flavours. The main factor here is going to be if you want a "managed" switch or "unmanaged" (dumb) switch. I'm going to just assume that you only need an "unmanaged" switch to distribute your network to the 10 ports. Something like this would be good enough to meet your needs.

You would have the ER-X to interface with your modem, switch, and provide PoE to your Access points. You would have the 16 port switch to provide the connection to all your jacks throughout the house.

That is how I would do it. The ER-X and Switch would run you around $130 US and a UAP-AC-Lite is around $90 on Amazon. Totals around the $200 mark.

To answer your question about using two routers, just don't. You can use a router as an access point, but you need to either use it how it isn't intended or set it to behave as an access point. Either way, getting some good Ubiquiti Access points would be much better than this.

u/Might-be-at-work · 2 pointsr/HomeNetworking

Get this Gigabit switch: https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-8-Port-Gigabit-Ethernet-Unmanaged/dp/B07PFYM5MZ and you won't bottle neck anything. And you will still have 5 free ports on the switchafter you plug in everything you currently have. Or you could step up to the 16 port version and have 13 ports free: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AX8XHRQ

u/KingdaToro · 2 pointsr/HomeNetworking

Yes, an Ethernet switch. Something like this, this, this, or this. You just need one that's gigabit and has at least as many ports as the number of Ethernet lines you have, so figure that out first.

u/richielaw · 1 pointr/GoogleWiFi

i have 500 mbs down and 50 up. This is the switch I have:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AX8XHRQ

So I've basically just kept this set-up because everything is telling me it is correct.

I have Modem -> OnHub -> Unmanaged Switch -> Puck (Wired).

I have good wifi signal in all parts of the house, but I'm still seeing occassional drops and needing to reconnect or reset the wifi. I do have 27 devices on the network, but I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

That doesn't make it "impossible" it makes it easy.
Buy a couple of Netgear switches.

16-port
5-port
Done.

One thing to possibly consider is getting a wifi access-point and use that for the 4/5-port switch and extend the wifi to upstairs.

u/NytronX · 1 pointr/HomeNetworking

Interesting. I wish there was a list of semi-managed switches, or that manufacturers would use that term in the product description.

So that unmanaged/semi-managed TP-Link would support static link aggregation, but none of these Netgear unmanaged switches supports any kind of link aggregation?: https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-16-Port-Gigabit-Ethernet-Unmanaged/dp/B01AX8XHRQ/

u/CBRjack · 1 pointr/HomeNetworking

This switch is a good one: TP-Link SG-1016D - $72 on Amazon. It should have holes in the bottom of the case to hang it on 2 screws.

This is also a good one: Netgear GS316 - $61 on Amazon. It's slimmer than the TP-Link since all the ports are in a single row. It also comes with a wall mount kit.

u/greenochaa · 1 pointr/IThelpdesk

So there is not a simple end all be all solution this problem, unfortunately.

But a good place to start would be upgrading your 2 devices initially. I am assuming you have Cisco small business router and not 2 home routers.

The home routers looks something like this - https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-AC1750-Smart-WiFi-Router/dp/B079JD7F7G/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=router&qid=1557460874&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1

Cisco small business routers like this - https://www.amazon.com/Cisco-Systems-Gigabit-Router-RV325K9NA/dp/B00HODK3N0/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1WUJF97665J0D&keywords=cisco+small+business+router&qid=1557460910&s=gateway&sprefix=cisco+small%2Caps%2C166&sr=8-1

&#x200B;

I would invest in something like the Cisco router I linked if you don't have it already. Fortunately, the Cisco router I linked is ready out of the box and can work on day 1. I would still confirm that with Cisco support as I only learned that from the Q and A page on Amazon. Having a router ready out of the box IS NOT THE NORM, and you generally need someone who knows how to configure them come in, usually a contractor of some sort. Alternatively, most home routers will support 255 devices, and that being said, and good Asus/Belkin/Netgear 150$ - 300$ router would likely be good enough for only 30 people.

Secondly - I don't know why you would need 2 routers. Routers enable a network to connect to the internet and to other networks. Having 2 seems unnecessary unless we are missing something. You can set up 1 router where your network meets the internet and have that second router be turned into a dedicated switch.

Cisco Switch (THIS IS NEEDS TO BE SET UP BY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO MAINTAIN/CONFIGURE CISCO DEVICES) - https://www.amazon.com/Cisco-SLM2048T-NA-Mini-GBIC-Certified-Refurbished/dp/B07HFKMR2B/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=cisco+small+business+switch&qid=1557461367&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1

Or - https://www.amazon.com/SYSTEMS-10-Port-Gigabit-Managed-SG35010K9NA/dp/B01HYA36SG/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=cisco+small+business+switch&qid=1557464529&s=gateway&sr=8-4

Unmanaged Switch (Commonly used at homes, Ready out of the box) - https://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-16-Port-Gigabit-Ethernet-Unmanaged/dp/B01AX8XHRQ/ref=sxin_3_ac_d_pm?keywords=network+switch&pd_rd_i=B01AX8XHRQ&pd_rd_r=5575aed3-5184-474d-83c5-aca41f5c556a&pd_rd_w=K09zH&pd_rd_wg=uxzTY&pf_rd_p=5cc8abfe-8f78-4f34-b19f-d09d6ea0dca4&pf_rd_r=3F3DJSBGZNTDJQK0H8GG&qid=1557461743&s=gateway

*none of these switches will really impact performance, it's more along the lines of available ports and scalability.

From your second device (the switch), you should then be able to hardwire a few accesses points. The access points will broadcast the Wi-Fi signal covering generally about 1400 - 7000 FT depending on quality.

&#x200B;

Cisco Access Point - https://www.amazon.com/SYSTEMS-802-11ac-Wireless-Access-WAP371AK9/dp/B00L0LIM62?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1

This AP claims that it is also plug and play. Again plug and play is great, but still, expect some troubleshooting if things don't work initially out of the box. It's always best to do research and consult a local IT person/department. Having a few of these AP's would provide some pretty solid Wi-Fi for the area as long as the ethernet cable is properly insulated and outside ethernet (CAT-6) cable is used where it needs to be used. Remember ethernet will have problems if it is exposed to the elements or if it exceeds 300 FT.

&#x200B;

There is still so much more to consider and I'm really not that smart. Just your average IT guy trying to be helpful. Iv done this sort of things to an extent for a few years. Let me know if you have more questions.

u/gnemi · 1 pointr/homelab

I'm a fan of the netgear SOHO devices.

You can get a fanless unmanaged 16 port for $70.

u/newnetworknoob · 1 pointr/HomeNetworking

First of all, thank you very much for the help. The TP-LINK is a TL-SF1005D, which is unmanaged, so you are correct, no IP. Not sure how I came up with the IP conflict earlier.

I've updated the future network diagram here (new equipment in orange): http://imgur.com/qoyRQi4

It looks like I will need:

(1) [UBIQUITI USG] (https://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Unifi-Security-Gateway-USG/dp/B00LV8YZLK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1495983480&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=Ubiquiti+USG)

(1) 16 PORT SWITCH

(1) [UPS] (https://www.amazon.com/APC-Back-UPS-Battery-Protector-BE550G/dp/B0019804U8/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1495985064&amp;sr=1-4&amp;keywords=apc+ups)

(3) UAP-AC-LITE

Questions:

Is it worth spending the extra money for a ubiquiti switch vs netgear?
Should I replace the 5 port TP-Link in the office to match the new 16 port switch?
It looks like the UAP-AC-LITE has two ethernet connections. Is one in and one out to a hardwired device?
Will the UAP-AC-LITE work like a wifi extener? No hard wired connection in, ethernet out to a device?

Cost effective question:
Would it be feasible to disable the 2.4 and 5.0 network on the existing E2500 router and install a UAP-AC-LITE for wifi?

u/Kimbroix · 1 pointr/BitcoinMining

Buy the below. 1 Ethernet from modem to switch port 1. Use ports 3-16 (total 14 ports) to hook up your miners. Problem solved.
Edit: Just saw you said 8 more. Buy the below switch. Same setup

Still not sure about the power cord from the APW++ to the PDU C14-c13
APW++ if you cant read in the photo, sorry.

I will be running 3 s9's off each 240v cicuit

Exactly. Also, I just picked up one of these . OP can pick one up with more or less ports as needed.

Thanks for taking the time to explain this. It sounds spot-on!
