    References or Recommendations for Better Home Network Security

    I decided to try the Ubiquiti Dream Machine as my Gateway/Router/Controller and it includes an integrated AP. I also ordered a 3-pack of their Flex-mini managed switches to create port vlans to segment my wired network. This should be enough to get things set up and once I determine range on...

    @jeff3820 Thank you! I spent the last few hours watching youtube videos to better understand Ubiquiti and the Unifi system after reading your post. On the cloud key controller, I now understand this is optional as you can run their controller software from a PC and is only required to be...

    VLAN on NEW Router... or Separate Routers for IoT and Security

    References or Recommendations for Better Home Network Security

    Here is my current network diagram roughly. I am sure I am missing endpoints, but I have kept as much wired as possible to keep performance as high as possible. Hopefully the diagram helps. Unfortunately, I built the house 20 years ago so I only have a single ethernet pulled to most...

    References or Recommendations for Better Home Network Security

    My home network has grown out of control and I want to invest a little time and money to make sure we are getting the best possible performance and also improve security. We usually have 4 to 6 high bandwidth connections (IPTV, Video Conferencing, etc.) and about 60 total connections (PCs VPN'd...

    WiFi network to handle many simultaneous HD Video streams

    Well I have everything running on. Single SSID with one AP per floor. I have the Asus in the middle as Router and running both 2.4GHz on CH 6 with the turboQAM disabled and 5 Ghz on 40MHz of the high freq. Upstairs I have the Netgear using 5GHz only on the other 40MHz of the high freq. I put my...

    Thank you for your responses. I think I will set up my own torture test and experiment with settings for best stability and performance. Good project for the Holidays.

    WiFi network to handle many simultaneous HD Video streams

    I am starting a new thread since I believe this use case is becoming more common. Note that there may be other continuous parallel high bandwidth applications that would also benefit from this discussion. I have several TiVo DVRs and several TiVo Mini STBs. My family all like different TV...

    OpenDNS, Access Point mode and Multiple WLANs

    I know this is a very old post, but I would like to do the same thing as OP asked on my brand new RT-AC68P. I found a link DD-WRT site about how to do this and would like to know if this is possible with Asuswrt-Merlin? http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=89001&highlight=opendns+ssid...

    Will a dedicated router allow unique DNS by Port?

    I will look at this router when I get a chance, but based on the OP comment, I am not sure I need to change my current setup. I also just discovered a couple really old (20years) CAT5 cables in my system where I was getting some issues (Tivo to Tivo Mini) and replaced them with new Cat6 cables...
