Bumping this thread. Anyone have the Zyxel NWA1123-AC yet? -- There are two kinds of people. Those who can extrapolate from missing information.

Well the switch is now installed in my attic and so far it runs perfectly. I do not expect to have to deal with the user interface at all, at least not until it dies from exposure. ;)

I have an HP NC360T dual port network card that I recently got off of ebay. I have purchased a number of these cards before and never had a problem with any of them. I was intending to use this particular card in a small ESXi system. After I installed the card and booted up ESXi I found the...

Microtik routers support LTE modems and can be set up with multiple WAN ports. $118 www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BGIXOHQ?pc_redir=1409689456&robot_redir=1 www.routerboard.com/RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN Sent from my GT-P3110 using Tapatalk

That's how it's set up. Both switches are in factory configuration and the router ports are too. The RB2011 comes from the factory set up with the first gigabit port as WAN port. The remaining ports (4 gigabit, 5 10/100 plus 1 SFP port) are bridged as a switch, essentially making it work just...

Will try that. But if the netmask was blocking I should not even be able to even ping the cameras from machine A, should I? Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

R820? The .2 and .10 are on different Ethernet ports, both using 255.255.255.0. Identically configured except for the .10 vs .2 of course. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

You are probably right. Not a whole lot to gain and more complicated. But now that I have started tinkering with it I'd like to see if I can get it to work, if nothing else so for the learning experience. So I set up the Microtik router with 2 subnets, like this, each subnet with its own DHCP...

Phew. Might take me a while to parse that, lol. The DC is the primary DNS server for all machines on the domain but it forwards requests to the router. It is not a DHCP server, that is handled by the router. It's not a large network - no more than 50 IP addresses total. In terms of traffic...

A little bit more information: Here's what it looks like now, and with the proposed members of the camera VLAN circled: I have made some experiments. I first tried with just a subnet on the SFP port, using these instructions...

I am installing four (4) security cameras and a network video recorder server in my house. I was wondering whether I should give them their own LAN segment in order to improve performance and/or security. The cameras will all be connected to their own switch, a 3Com 4500 series located in the...

I'm pleased to report the Cisco cable worked perfectly. I managed to reset it to factory settings. What a crummy user interface .. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

At least whatever you plug into them will stay put, unlike the US style outlets which can't even support the weight of a lamp cord... ;) Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

Certainly possible, but rather pointless because all that would do is add another 15 feet of conduit on the outside that needs to be hidden or painted over. I have those open air passages too but they are covered by anti insect netting which I would rather not poke holes in. Drilling and...

I do not agree with that at all. I have been running a Routerboard RB2011 - which is a level 3 router with 5 Gigabit ports, 5 10/100 ports (one of which is PoE), an SFP port and a USB port - for 6 months and it's been working flawlessly. I have VLANs and subnets configured, and I have an LTE...
