Not sure if this is the right forum, but I'll be looking for a new home network setup soon. Would the synology router or an ubiquiti setup be better for the jobs below?
1. Basic home networking. Streaming movies, music, accessing files on NAS.
2. Ease of setup with my Ds918 plus. I want to allow remote access. I use my NAS for pc backup, direct file storage, and as a media server for photos/videos
3. Run surveillance cameras. I currently have a wifi amcrest, but plan on getting several more poe cameras. Possibly up to 5 total. I don't need continuous recording, but would like to save triggered recordings.
4. Remote surveillance cam monitoring/recording from a 2nd, external network. Would set up a vlan per this thread. From this thread that I accidentally ghosted out of, I am leaning away from an ubiquiti UDM for my main router if I do go the ubiquiti route, although I'd still consider it from the remote site to set up the vlan. Is the ubiquiti dream machine an acceptable router?
5. There is currently a wifi extension setup at the new house (it is a large farm yard. I don't remember the bran, but it is not ubiquiti. Would need a port on the router for the wifi extenders to plug into
Thanks all for any ideas.
