    Help with traffic filtering

    Hi everyone, Attaching a diagram of my network setup. You'll notice there is a single subnet (192.168.0.0/24) here. My goal: blocking traffic from HOST A to HOST B. There are many other hosts on the network, this is a simplified diagram. For other reasons, I can't subnet or VLAN, everything is...

    To AiMesh or not -- technical understanding

    Yeah, but then the cost saving is limited because I need to get switches. Either way, that's off topic from what I'm asking :)

    To AiMesh or not -- technical understanding

    SmartConnect generally performs poorly, so I rather avoid it and I don't mind having two separate SSIDs for each band. That's not the important part though. You say "AiMesh the nodes" suggesting that Option #1 is better than Option #2, and I would like to know the reasoning for that.

    To AiMesh or not -- technical understanding

    If I have 3 APs and a wired router (as you suggest), for the purpose of my question that would be the same as what I described as option #2. I only went with these specific three units because of their great wireless performance (even when I use two of them as APs), and because I also plan on...

    MoCA 2.5 adapters?

    I'm okay with the 1 gig port. The value of MoCA 2.5 at this point is the fact that it can actually reach the 1 gbit speed across multiple devices (up to a total of 2.5 gbit simultaneously on a mesh network). If I had 2.5gig ports on it, what would I really do with it? My router and networking...

    MoCA 2.5 adapters?

    So, very excited to share that I got my two goCoax MoCA 2.5 adapters in the mail today. I'm just going to be short and to the point - it's amazing and delivers what was promised. I get a full symmetric gig (send/receive) between two computers on my home network. Latency is almost non-existing...
