I have U-verse (IPTV) for television, and Comcast (cable) for internet. I have ethernet drops in all the rooms of my house, and I use the comcast cable modem and a cisco router to make my home network for computers. My problem is the TV. I have the U-Verse wireless receivers (which also work on ethernet), but they need to be connected wired or wirelessly to the network created by the u-verse gateway. The wireless signal is poor for the 2nd floor of my house, so I want to use the ethernet wiring. My question is....
If I configure the u-verse gateway for a 10.0.0.0/23 network, and turn on MAC filtering so it only works with the u-verse receivers, can I connect those devices to the same wired network and switches as my existing computer network (192.168.1.0/23)?
I have 3 switches, total. Switch-A connects my computer network router and entertainment center, then feeds one ethernet line up to my patch pannel in a spare bedroom. the line from Switch-A connects to Switch-B via the patch panel. I then use Switch-B to connect the additional rooms of the house via the patch panel. Finally, one of the Switch-B connections goes to my master bedroom, and connects to Switch-C, which feeds the entertainment center in that bedroom. All of this is on a 192.168.1.0/23 network, with a cisco AC1750 router (connected to switch-a) doing DHCP and WLAN.
My u-Verse gateway lives in the same bedroom as the patch panel and Switch-B. I would like to connect the U-Verse gateway and its 10.0.0.0/23 network to Switch-B, and then connect my U-Verse receivers to the other two switches. Again, I would use MAC filtering on the U-Verse gateway so it didn't hand out IP's to devices that were not u-verse receivers, and I would do the reverse on the cisco router, to block the MAC's of the u-verse equipment from being serviced by the 192.168.1.0/23 subnet.
Is it possible for these two subnets to share the same switching and wiring hardware without interfering?
