Network setup recommendations

[abdualsalik]

Hi,

 

I want to setup a new network in a large home with three levels. The equipment I have my eyes on are:

·         TP-LINK TL-R470T+ Load Balance Broadband Router, 3 Changeable Ethernet WAN/LAN Ports, 64MB DRAM.

·         TP-LINK TL-SG1005D 10/100/1000Mbps 5-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch, 10Gbps Capacity.

·         Ubiquiti Networks UniFi AP Enterprise Wi-Fi System (pack of 3).

The load balancing router is for combining two internet connections, one from the DSL Company, the other from a 4G wireless company. Is it reliable?

The switch is used with access points that I’m installing in each level. Any recommendations?

I think CAT6 cable will be the best choice for long runs, am I right?

 

Thanks

Good choice. However I would suggest getting TL-SG108 for the Switch. Also the Load-Balancing router is not gigabit but I guess you don't need gigabit anyways, and yes it can combine connections quite well.

 

Other than that, you're good.
