Good day
I am planning a network for my home, a building of 4 apartments. Two heads are better than one and so I want to get a review of the proposed topology attached here.
The downlink from telco to home is Fiber 200 Mbps into a a traditional brick and mortar building of total 400 sq. meters space.
I am already looking for POE switches with vLANs and LACP for link aggregation with the Synology server. vLAN feature is needed since I plan to separate iot devices from other devices' traffic. Please give recommendations and consideration to note in order to buy the most fit devices. I anticipate there will be moderate to high network use since the number of permanent connected clients is at least 20 including the Synology file,collaboration and media server and a total of 10 mobile phones.
Where is the network bottleneck ? Is there a minimum down-link or the 200 Mbps will suffice ? Do I need a cabinet or enclosure for network devices ?
It would be great to provide considerations that facilitate management and securing of my proposed network.
Current pain points :
- Disconnections , don't know are they external (from ISP) or due to poor current network setup (a router modem by the ISP and a wireless router in bridge mode) that serves all users
- Lag on my child PS4 and the weekly related headache and complaints
- A number of WiFi dead points
Thankfully, please review and tell if there are any missing parts or issues to consider, including possible pitfalls or traffic bottlenecks.
