Oh boy, my head is confused.
So we're building a new house and we have a ****load of ports in every room
Right now we are going to get a modem from our isp and the problem is...
Problem:
We have an ASUS RT-AC68u AC1900
the 4g modem that our isp provider is going to give us
~18 ports to every room (stupid people set up 2+ ports in every room)
Thinking of buying a switch to connect all those rooms
we also want an NVR that connects all the 8 cameras of our house to the NVR via PoE
Cameras are connected to the electricty box via PoE cables
Rooms are connected via Ethernet cables
Question:
What setup should we have in this house?
I believe we have a powerful enough router to handle all the internet and be a wifi access point
My idea is that Modem -> Router -> Unmanaged Switch -> every room + NVR. And the ASUS will be the main internet gateway to the Magical Land of the Internet.
Electrician says that it should be Modem -> switch -> router as an access point and switch -> all rooms, but why would we need a more expensive managed switch when we have a powerful router already?
*If anyone asks this is Lithuania, since we live in a town currently we are only getting a 4g modem (100mbps without a data cap) or a crappy old internet line with 6mbps. Either 4g or crappy line is roughly 20Eur per month
megabits not megabytes
Thank you!
