    Network setup for multiple IOT (30+) devices

    You are right. I shouldn't have been implying that for each VLAN there will be an SSID. Most probably it is going to be 2 wired and 3 wireless. Indeed need to be careful with ZigBee. When I initially installed the hue hub my 2.4Ghz devices dropped from the router and didn't know what was going...

    Network setup for multiple IOT (30+) devices

    I am not avoiding Z-Wave+ devices. I have a samsung smarththings hub v2 (Z-Wave+ compatible) but two hue hubs v2 zigbee (hard to replace them with all the lights and sensors) and multiple smart plugs, cameras, shellies which are 2.4Ghz wifi and difficult to replace them. Your VLAN plan looks...

    Network setup for multiple IOT (30+) devices

    I was thinking of having 6 vlans, but maybe I should go simple with just Home, Guest and only one for IOT (blocking from internet the ones I want).

    Network setup for multiple IOT (30+) devices

    There will definitely be multiple VLANs and dedicated SSIDs. I am putting the plan down on paper. Already have watched a few video tutorials for setting up the Edgerouter 4 as well as Cisco switch for VLAN. Indeed the data rates for IOT needs are pretty low. I am not sure how many 802.11b...

    Network setup for multiple IOT (30+) devices

    That would be the ideal case, but I am not sure all the IOT devices will be able to reach this one AP. However, even if just the majority is using one AP that would be helpful. I was thinking of using my ac86u for this purpose. I found some articles around on how to use VLAN on asus. I will...

    Network setup for multiple IOT (30+) devices

    No major complaints about my AC86u as you can see has been working like a mule fully packed :) However, I am looking for something kind of future proof as I will be adding more IOT devices (10+ shelly) and I would like to keep all these IOTs to different VLANs.

    Network setup for multiple IOT (30+) devices

    Added them to the shopping list and preparing the letter to Santa :) Most probably will be going for Ruckus R610 and CBS350 (or Juniper EX2300, HPE 2530). Many thanks!

    Network setup for multiple IOT (30+) devices

    Point taken about the Ruckus. I will try to grab two R500s (unless I find anything newer at a good price). Last question and I will stop bugging you.... Just realized that the SG110 I mentioned earlier is an unmanaged switch. Any recommendation for a managed one? So far I have seen this one...

    Network setup for multiple IOT (30+) devices

    Thanks for your input Trip! I was considering the EdgeRouter 4, but since no gig internet yet, might be better indeed to get the X. I have a 24/7 PC, i7-6600U 2.60GHz 6th gen, 16GB Ram, 512GB SSD which I use for HomeAssistant in Hyper-V. The load is minimal and was thinking maybe to use this...

    Network setup for multiple IOT (30+) devices

    I am not that much worried with area coverage of the AC86U but mostly at it struggling with many clients. Right now with 60 devices I do get disconnections to devices a bit further away. I know for sure that I will do have more IOT devices on the new place and afraid that both AC86U will be...

    Network setup for multiple IOT (30+) devices

    Currently I have an asus ac86u router with around 60 devices connected. 7 wired / 9 on 5Ghz and the rest on 2.4 Ghz majority being IOT (30+ devices). I use the latest merlin firmware on my asus, few scripts and openvpn. I am moving soon and the asus won't be sufficient both in terms of...

    Diversion Diversion - the Router Ad-Blocker

    I tried to update from AB-Solution to Diversion. It seemed to go just fine but this is what I get Any ideas? UPDATE: In any case I removed Diversion (loosing previous settings) re-installed and it works. Many thanks thelonelycoder for your work! :D

    USB3 hdd on ac86u with Merlin FW

    Great I was going to just reply to you that you need to add smb.postconf in jffs/scripts/ with the line you already mentioned. I have also removed those duffers. #!/bin/sh CONFIG=$1 source /usr/sbin/helper.sh pc_replace "store dos attributes = yes" "store dos attributes = no" $CONFIG...
