Home Network

[Smudge1701]

I am going to start a project and it is going to be a Home Network.

 

On this network I want everything that can be wired...wired.

 

That way I can control the wireless access better.

 

All wired access will be controlled with mac addressed ports.

 

Wireless connection will be highly monitored. Preferably through both software and hardware.

 

Preferences:

-Security first

-QOS second

 

So for the average house hold what hardware does the community suggest?

 

Approx tree: 

1

2=2

3/2/3

(Then wireless area) low priority

 

Can draw up more detailed plans, just want to see the cost, and hardware suggestions.

Duplicate thread merged and moved to Networking Section

is this W-L an algorythm?

Ok i will do it myself then.

what speeds do you need?

 

Probably get something like a edge router, pfsense, untangle or anouther router like those.

 

Then get some switches.

dont use mac for security, super easy to change. Use 802.1x if you care about wired secuirty.
