Hi everyone.
I have read through numerous posts and all have awesome information, but I haven't found a direct hit.
For my setup, I will have...
Router: Linksys EA6400 Gigabit
Switch: Unknown - want to get 8 port with 4 PoE Gigabit
Access Point(s): ZyXEL NWA1123-AC Gigabit
Devices, mixed speeds, but concerned with Gigabit NAS and Gigabit (wired) Desktop.
I want to set up as:
All hardwiring, patch cables, etc are Cat 6, 550mHz.
Internet -> Router WiFi -> Wireless AC device(s)
Internet -> Router Port 1 -> NAS
Internet -> Router Port 2 -> Gigabit Switch w/ PoE Port 1 -> AP -> Wireless AC device(s)
Internet -> Router Port 2 -> Gigabit Switch w/ PoE Port 2 -> Empty
Internet -> Router Port 2 -> Gigabit Switch w/ PoE Port 3 -> Empty
Internet -> Router Port 2 -> Gigabit Switch w/ PoE Port 4 -> Empty
Internet -> Router Port 2 -> Gigabit Switch w/ PoE Port 5 -> Media Player
Internet -> Router Port 2 -> Gigabit Switch w/ PoE Port 6 -> Smart TV
Internet -> Router Port 2 -> Gigabit Switch w/ PoE Port 7 -> Sonos Audio
Internet -> Router Port 2 -> Gigabit Switch w/ PoE Port 8 -> Desktop PC (Gigabit)
So, in short, wired devices (except NAS) wired to switch, wireless will be access either AP or router depending on signal quality.
Entire network will be on same subnet. Does that mean that data packets don't have to go to the router if going between devices connected to switch?
Maybe my AP should be direct to router with the NAS?
For the purpose of my understanding, I would like to assume all devices are AC capable.
If I were doing a lot of file transfers as an example, would I be bottle necking at the connection between Switch and Router?
Should I put the NAS on the switch? If so, why? (I can easily, just curious).
Most of my access will be through the Access Point using WiFi.
I think I kind of rambled a bit, but basicially, I am looking for comments and concerns. I haven't set this up yet, but will be in a month. Just wanting to ensure I have the right equipment. If this setup works, then I will buy a PoE Gigabit switch instead of injectors for my AP (and future equipment).
