Hi there, recently bought an SG200-26 switch and hooked it up to my wireless router. The internet is fine and all, but I am not able to enter the web based interface to configure the switch. What I did was go to cmd/ipconfig, checked what the default gateway is, and put that address as the...

Thanks for this mate, appreciate it. I am looking at the CISCO SG200 for the switch and the CISCO RV-320 for the router. Any thoughts about these? I should mention that I have an Asus RT-AC68U which I plan to convert to just a wireless access point. Thought a dedicated router would serve...

Also, for cable management purposes, this is what I have in mind - appreciate if you could let me know if there is a better/correct way to do it. So in that room I mentioned, there are 16 lan cables from the respective data points. If I want to connect all 16 to a switch, and I have a rack...

Apologies, hope this clarifies: 1. I've got 16 data points across the whole house, all the lan cables are "centralized" in a room which I plan to install the switch. Assume I will need a 24 port switch for this to work. 2. It will purely be for residential purposes - what actually are the...

Hi there, Am looking for a managed gigabit switch which can be mounted on a rack. Any suggestions? I have a $300-$400 budget for the switch. I also need a router, so if you could suggest both, that would be great! This is for residential use.

I'm using the Avtech MDR752 as the DVR. Would that work?

Hi, my existing home has a CCTV (not IP cameras) system setup. The cameras are linked to a DVR that is capable of recording into a NAS. Would it be possible to use the Synology surveillance app to live stream from my CCTVs?

Using MyRepublic as the ISP

Thanks again - yeah based in Singapore. I'm still reading through your connection alternative and acronyms like GPON - sounds like French to me so I need to read up.. lol

Thanks. A little more on the first point - 1. Do you mean that by using the Asus as a router, I cannot connect any other devices to the router itself? i.e. it isn't an access point 2. In your experience, is it more worthwhile buying a dedicated router (no wifi) instead of using the...

Guys, thanks for this. Few more questions: 1. The wireless router I have now is an Asus RT-AC68U. Mapping out the network diagram... my fiber broadband comes in to the ONT/modem in my house ---> it then connects to my Wireless Router in a central area --> then back to a switch in the...

Hi guys, first post here so apologies for any unfamiliarity - my house under renovation has over 20 data points, split across many rooms. All of the data cables (Cat 6 UTP) terminates in my storeroom - so I've got over 20 cables dangling from the wall right now. It terminates in the...
