    Help me build a Top of the Line Setup

    How should this network be set up? I have the modem plugged into the router (wan port). In port 1 of the router, It's plugged into the switch with all my ethernet jacks around my house. In port 2 of the router, It's plugged into the eero in my network closet. Ports 3/4 of my router are...

    Just to be sure, are these the correct links for the router and UAP-AC-PRO? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06W534NXP/?tag=snbforums-20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015PRO512/?tag=snbforums-20

    Help me build a Top of the Line Setup

    Help me build a Top of the Line Setup

    Sorry about not getting back to the responses, had a death in the family and haven't been able to focus on this. One quick question, is there another recommended switch that has more ports than 10? Maybe 14 at minimum?

    Thanks for the recommendation! I am still doing research on all the recommendations so far, so it'll be a bit before I know what questions I want to ask. I do have more information however on my switch. It's a: Netgear Plus Switch JFS524E (24 port). Currently 8 of my ports are in use. EDIT...

    Help me build a Top of the Line Setup

    I currently don't know what firewall logic/rules are, but I'm open to learning and would say I'm a fast learner. I know about routers and mesh systems but not a ton. I'm open to doing a lot of set up, that doesn't bother me. Anything is learnable with enough time in my eyes. As far as wiring...
