First thing you need to do is turn off bridge mode so that your company modem/router combo stops broadcasting. Then go into a switch get all your connections setup and a patch panel if you want to go that way, would be smarter honestly. Also if you’re going to be running near loose romex cable make sure you use some kind of shielding to prevent crosstalk.
Thank you I'm going to check out the rest of your videos! Just moved into my new home after my last one burnt down 7 years ago ( I've basically been displaced 7 years..) Trying to set up all my networks now!❤love from Boston
I was going to say that it looked like he was just using his AP as a router as well, but his modem definitely isn't set up as a modem only. Good catch! lol (For anyone wondering, your network should ideally only have one device handling all of the traffic routing. His setup is almost set up properly, except for the fact that both his modem and his Wi-Fi access point is trying to route traffic over each other. We can tell because his modem has more than one device connected to the back of it. He'd just need to set his modem to modem only mode, instead of modem/router, and then unplug everything from it. Except for the power, line in, and the cable going to his Wi-Fi access point/router.)
If you had a patch panel in the first place, you'd never need to worry about needing longer cables. Do NOT plug station cables directly into a switch. Cable extenders? What a joke!
I have a wall mounted rack in my basement above a fridge, I have a panduit 24port one to one with a Cisco 48port Poe switch. All fed by Ubiquity, I will eventually upgrade to a UniFi switch when I have the budget but my 5 APs are very happy with Gig link atm. I pull two lines to each location for redundancy and future expansion. I even have a UPS for shiggles
So I don't own a switch so there is one ethernet cable hanging. The ethernet connected to my pc and sometimes we need to unplug it for other stuff. When I wanna play on my pc, how can I tell which one is the one connected from my wall so I can plug it into the router? It's a cat6 cord
Though I have to technically agree due to certified standards, and won't encourage others to try same, I'm still doing it, I got my old spool of CAT6a and the advertised fast CAT 8. Haven't done project yet, college keeping me busy
Because it's the main access point, meaning that everything passes through it first, and you can control all devices connected to the network through its app this way. That's what I think.
@@co2_os I think it should work the other way, it’s just that a switch is designed to switch traffic, whereas the AP is designed to distribute a wireless network. It’s might be negligible but I think your network would perform better if your AP was a peripheral off the switch rather than the uplink to it.
@domhamai I just tried it, I had a similar setup to the video, but when I connected the router to the switch directly, only devices that are connected to the mesh network show up in the app, the other switch wired connections disappeared. Either way, I think the difference is negligible. The network performs the same on this small scale.
Many mesh wifi sets have a main AP that also doubles as a router. The other APs are just satellites that are paired to the main device. Obviously, these types of routers have very few network ports so a switch needs to be connected for more wired connections.
Bad internet, bad connections, old or cheap router, bad wifi settings in your device, old or cheap device/cables, interference from other sources, internet could be very busy resulting in slow speeds. Streaming gobbles up a LOT of bandwidth.
Shouldn’t the WiFi router be after the switch? If the modem is supplying the internet to the switch, then from there to each room and the WiFi. Or is there a speed concern doing it that way?
@@RichMantaraythe switch I can't explain it but it has a faster data transmission rate but somehow it keeps the data separate with I'm guessing it's own code of data but if I was him I'd put another router in there connecting to the switch as a wifi repeater this is to ensure that the data doesn't get tangled because activities are still happening in the router but there's still a possibility that the switch bypasses the router in to the modem as I have a netduma that somehow keeps grabbing it's own ip without double nat ing I dont know how but it's able to bypass my first router and get its own wan IP it's kinda strange honestly so there's possibility that the switch can bypass the router and reduce it's latency to the modem with it's transfer rate of around 16 gb and that's extremely fast so or at least with my switch anyway
Id be using gold connectors and smaller cables if possible for those short wired connections. Also remember everytime youhave to add an extension to your( not long enough cable ) your speeds will go slower. imagine putting extension on 4 or 5 cable connections. Yeah it still works but your speed test will show slower speeds vrs no extension. Depending on your router or modem or device adding a gold connector isnt always necessary though. The plastic ones are fine too.
Each connection to the switch has the same potential bandwidth determined by the grade of wire and both ethernet port. Most consumer grade electronics are capped at 1000 mbps. So he might have a problem connecting fast to internet if all his wired devices + wifi devices all tries to connect at the same time through one measly 1000 mbps connection from router/modem to AP
U should have a router behind the switch so that it can repeat a wifi signal as a extender for the wifi switch that can't send wifi signals and disable wifi on the main router to avoid frequency confliction u don't have to but this is also an idea
@@StunXPlayz It depends on your contry, in mine we had 1 and 2 Gb/s years ago, now from what I see we can have 5 Gb/s for $30 (also netflix + tv included).

All new construction homes should have ethernet in every room, come pre wired for network and security cameras.
Maybe not security as that truly depends on where you live, ethernet does not.
ethernet makes it so you can't jam the wifi@@ASaltyAcc
My builder offered it as an upgrade.

Next, need to be Overkill with Fiber to Router and Cat7 or 8 to rooms! Maybe switch Wifi to Lifi if that ever becomes a thing
wtf
That’s definitely the overkill way but if you have the opportunity to pull it off that payout would be amazing!!!
Cat 7 and 8 aren’t even certified (ANSI and TIA don’t recognise them) Cat 6a or fibre is a better option

What type of rack are you using ? And what’s the size ?
It’s a structured media enclosure - popular among new builds!
Ours is wired for 568A… should I switch all of them to be 568B? Majority of extensions are all 568B I’ve been seeing.
Brother upgrade to a 320 RG, the 210's are dated a bit now.
Bro really has a tiktok router
What if u break the ethernet cable in some way, would tame 485783 years to replace it
Tell me you don’t know how network engineering works without telling me.
Your modem is a router so u should have it go from the modem to the switch, then to your router which u have set as a wifi access point
Where's the firewall
Why would you plug in a wap into a switch
Why do you daisy chain from your ap to switch? I would go from router to switch, then from switch to wireless AP

Okay buddy but if i need to connect all my consoles to the monitor which ports “Data” or ”Pre out data” ? do u know or not ?

I need that bc the only Wi-Fi I get is wireless I need wired so I have better internet for games and sometimes crash
not a good way to implement a network..

FYI, make sure you're using cat 7 Ethernet cables if you're running 1GB+ speeds. Otherwise the cables will limit the speeds
False. Cat 6 can run at 10 Gbps at around 50 meters
