    Switch works but does not show on router

    I have a somewhat similar setup but less numbers So the LAN1 start ip is 192.168.1.15 for DHCP anything under are my static IP's I have set along with dhcp reservations. For anything static, I have set it on the device itself AND the dhcp reservation but I suppose in theory, only static would be...

    Time to sort my network out - help!

    Thanks for all the advice - this is now resolved. The kit listed above has certainly done the trick. The only issue and a stupid one at that is that out of the 4 flat ethernet cables I bought, I tested 3 and guess which one is faulty having lifted carpets, fixed the cables, trunking where...

    Switch works but does not show on router

    Thanks all In terms of order of boot- it's all fine on that point Nullity: Not really... I ideally wanted to ensure that the router was reserving the ip for the switch MAC but as it could not see it, I was unsure if it would ignore it but thinking about it, as long as there is a manual entry...

    Switch works but does not show on router

    I thought that too initially but no go there either because the home automation and synology nas are both static and reserved - both show up on the router list :) Really strange one - if it was not a managed switch with an IP then fair enough but as far as I see it, the netgear is a device in...

    Switch works but does not show on router

    only that generally I would pick a MAC up via the draytek panel from existing devices but the fact it cannot see the switch in the first place means it does not appear. I did put the mac in manually and bound it to an IP without the static entry in the switch but it didnt work and ignored the...

    Switch works but does not show on router

    Yup certainly can - I can go to the address and access the web managed portal/change settings etc The IP is set to set to to static via the router (reserved by mac>IP) and also via the switch (turning off DHCP and setting a static ip)

    CCTV not showing on router but works

    Hi all, This might be related to the switch thread I have just posted (switch works but does not show on router connected devices) I've recently got a new setup for my house including a Draytek 2860 (standalone) router and a Netgear JGs516pe-100eus/ With this, a wired CCTV DVR goes into the...

    Switch works but does not show on router

    Hi all, I've recently got a new setup for my house including a Draytek 2860 (standalone) router and a Netgear JGs516pe-100eus/ The switch works fine however it does not show up on the draytek console as a connected device. Am I correct in saying this is wrong? My understanding is as it has an...

    Time to sort my network out - help!

    Well I initially moved in and was issued a box standard BT openreach hub or whatever they call it which was terrible. I then bought a 87U on the basis that when I was living with the parents, I changed theirs to a 68u (might be a 66 thinking about it) and that made things very usable. But the...

    Time to sort my network out - help!

    And to add to this, I have been advised Draytek 2860 router as per above but instead of the Draytek AP, go with Ubiquiti ac pro AP''s And instead of the draytek switch, go for a Netgear JGS516PE Certainly within budget and reviews seem good again all around

    Time to sort my network out - help!

    Been doing a lot of reading and taking pictures of the house to figure out routes and come to one large conclusion - I think for my requirements, even something as big as the AC5300 (asus) is probably not enough and I need to possibly jump onto a small business layout. What do you think of the...

    Time to sort my network out - help!

    Unfortunately not. We used rg59+2 for the cams and have plenty of that left in a reel! The cat6 flat cable is certainly food for thought if I'm bringing it out but then what I'd want is a no wireless router in the cupboard to go to the fibre model and then whatever is outside be it the 87u...

    Time to sort my network out - help!

    Right in order to answer the first reply, I've done a whole load of testing tonight with Lan Speed Tester and here are my findings. First figure is Write, second is Read (Mbps). All tests went to a NAS drive on a gb port directly to the 87u Using a Dell Precision M3800 (Intel 7260ac) From...

    Time to sort my network out - help!

    Hi all, I live in a new build house and from day one (a year and a bit since the house was built), I'm just not happy with the network config. Firstly, I wanted network ports per room during the build stage but that did not happen and is now too late so... please advise on what I can do! I am...
