If you have a laptop with a NIC you can plug directly into your modem and check your speed. This will take out all of the other hops along the way. Use the same cable you're using now to go from your modem to the first velop router.
If you're getting close to your max bandwidth plugged into...
I have LinkSys Velop with two jacks on the bottom. I can only speak to this, but they all should be similar.
The mesh systems are made to expand wireless throughout a house with or without capability to connect the individual nodes to a wire. They should have at least two wireless...
Good info. Out of curiosity I looked at the Lorex cameras I would probably replace mine with today (if I were replacing my NVR), and they are 20fps. I'm not planning on replacing anything right now unless I have to, but I'll be looking for at least 30fps when I do.
I bought a Lorex Systems that came with eight cameras. Some LNB3153s and some and LND3152s. I bought it in 2014, installed in 2015 so they're HD/ 1080P. The system has been pretty rock solid except for the original Hard Drive. It failed so I replaced it with two non-purple hard drives and I...
Ok, you said they "terminate" in the utility room. Does that mean you put RJ 45s on all of them or are they just hanging there?
The right way and the best was to do this is to get a punch down panel. In addition to neatness, once its done correctly and tested this means you won't have to...
You didn't mention what kind of POE camera system you're using. I have a LOREX NVR with 16 channels. As long as the cameras are on the same network/ IP space my NVR finds them.
So, I have the main NVR connected. Six cameras connect directly to the NVR, but the NVR gets its connection to...
If you purchase a mesh system with the capability of a wired backhaul then use it. As for moving the primary node, I don't think which one is primary matters. You said you want coverage in your basement you'll probably want one down there anyway. With the wired backhaul all your nodes should...
Sounds like mesh is the way to go. I'll just say you only need two Ethernet ports on a mesh router. 1) If you're going to do a wired backhaul between the devices and 2) the second one could run switch (i.e. 8 port POE).
I've been using Linksys Velop for a few years now . Two of my nodes run...
Yea, 1900 square feet doesn't really give enough info. Is it a two story town house or a long ranch? Is your router centered in the house or off to one corner. Chances are most routers with give you signal in all parts of your house, but as the signal drops, often the bandwidth drops too...
You're getting a lot of responses about what's best to do. It's like going to an AR-15 build forum and getting responses that will cost you $2,000+ dollars. Sounds like all you want to do is shoot some bullets and hit the target at 100 yards, not 400 yards.
Get a mesh system that doesn't...
Yea, that's kind of a mess. I guess you need to ask your customer what they want. Most people probably just want it to work for them (whatever their requirements are) and don't care what it looks like or if it's correct.
If I just moved into this house and I inherited it I'd do it right...
I think you have your answers about your network. On the other hand, if I were you I'd also be happy to have the simple access to the interior centralized cable distribution. I did this in my house that I had built. It has allowed me to do a couple of things.
I am not a cord cutter so I...
