    Problems with Wireless coverage, extender and so on...

    So...after I googled a little bit I found out my next purchase :) Ubiquiti Unifi...the question is: AC-LR (Long Range) or AC-Pro? I will go for AC over "not-AC" because even if at the moment I do not have any AC-device (I have one by is connected with cable :) ), that standard will be the...

    Slow LAN (GigaBit)

    I all, I have an iMac (Late-2013) connected via Ethernet (1Gbps) to a TP-Link switch (five ports, gigabit, metal case, I do not remember the model number). Then the switch is located in a room and therefore is connected to a second switch located in "central room". This second switch is then...

    Network plan for a flat

    Thanks a lot. I think the performance will not have any problem, right? All the switches will be gigabit.

    Network plan for a flat

    I think that my configuration is indeed daisy-chained, right? I have: STORAGE_ROOM_SWITCH --> LIVING_ROOM_SWITCH --> DEVICE1/DEVICE2 and so on. Am I missing anything? I think there are no other solutions and as I one cable running from the living room (here I have PS3, TV, Apple TV...

    Network plan for a flat

    I preferred wired in place of wireless as I think it is much better. I placed Ethernet plugs where I think I will need them, then I will use WiFi for mobile devices (2xiPhone4S, 2xiPad mainly) and notebook (at the moment only one). I think I would not need a 24-ports switch. In the storage...
