Hey guys,
I just purchased a new house that's approximately 9500 sqft, not including the land that it sits on. ~4 acres. I'm designing a network that is scalable and I would like your feedback before I move forward.
Currently, I have two ISPs. I would like to tie them together via a load balancer for failover. Inside the house i have a surveillance system, a NAS storage server, an all-in-one printer, and between 8-15 mobile devices connected at any given time (cell phones and laptops). One of the problems I've had thus far is range of the wifi signal. So I'm also thinking of adding two access points on the opposite ends of the house. I'm also planning on having ethernet ports installed in many of the rooms in the house, though I wont do this part myself.
The security system is tied to one of my modems and I can access it from my cell phone. However, its been attacked recently so I would like to place it behind a firewall but still access it via my phone. Is this possible? I'm assuming i would need to do port forwarding?
I'm thinking of going with a Dell SonicWall TZ205. It has the capability for VPN setup which would be beneficial for when I need to access my files when I'm traveling. I'm also familiar with the interface.
What do you guys think of my network map? Do you see any issues? Should i make any changes? Should I have the load balancer handle DHCP between the two modems or should that be handled by the SonicWall?
Also, I'm assuming the surveillance server, printer, and NAS would all need to be assigned static LAN addresses, correct?
Thanks in advance!
