Hi I need to tidy up my lan at home as it is a bit of a mess and I want to allow for expansion into rooms.
Currently hard wired with cat5e not sure of throughput speeds but switches say gigabit ie both lights on at switch rj45 socket. I also want to put my vm internet router into modem mode and purchase a separate wireless router, but the router will need to work for other isp's modem's too as thinking of moving to sky or similar. Have been looking at the ASUS RT-AC56U? I dont want to spend a fortune but would like enough feaures, would like to look at VPN's at some point and accessing remotely.
My intentions are this.
modem
router
Netgear GS108E
Lounge switch NG GS108
TV
PS3
SKY
SONOS
Office switch NG GS108
MAIN PC
RASPBERRYPI (web server)
LINUX BOX
PRINTER
Bed1 NG GS105
TV
Bed2 NG GS105
2nd PC
TV
Bed3 NG GS105
3rd PC
TV
My main questions at this stage are
1) What router should I get for around £100
2) Can I supply Netgear GS108/5 from a POE switch?
3) Does this configuration look ok?
Cheers
