Home Network Install

I recently did a little bit of cleanup on my home network and have some photos in an album here: https://www.dropbox.com/gallery/3485106/1/Office%20Closet?h=2f7cde#/ My network isn't too complicated and sounds like it's along the lines of what you're looking to do. I had cat 6 cable run when...

Looking to upgrade my network closet, need some advice

That makes sense, keep the topology flatter but isolate as much of the LAN activity as possible to one switch. I can definitely put my server, desktop, and Xbox all on one switch together. The desktop and server communicate all the time since I use Windows 7 libraries to mask the fact that my...

Looking to upgrade my network closet, need some advice

Sounds like the 2724 is still a worthwhile upgrade to do at some point, for a multitude of reasons. Maybe I'll look into doing that once I get everything redone and organized properly. At that point, it ought to be a pretty quick change to bring in a new switch to replace the two I've got with...

Looking to upgrade my network closet, need some advice

Thanks for posting your setup, Arcanedeath, it's always good to see a setup and get the thought process behind it for how it works. I went ahead and ordered up the patch panel, some new patch cables, and the tools I need to do the job that I don't already have. My plan is going to be as...

Looking to upgrade my network closet, need some advice

No problem at all, I really really appreciate the help and insight. I'm trying to plan everything out and coordinate it with the overall closet organization, starting to look at what kinds of equipment and tools and whatnot will be needed to do everything up right. Starting to formulate the plan...

Looking to upgrade my network closet, need some advice

Thanks for the reply, Arcanedeath, you're about to become my best friend I think since you've got experience with both of the bits of equipment I'm looking at. I'll apologize in advance for the long-winded but hopefully explanatory post that's coming... I was looking at the enclosure a bit...

Looking to upgrade my network closet, need some advice

My welding skills are non-existent. I'm not really all that handy in general, nor do I have the proper tools for it, so most likely whatever's the most simple way to go about it with minimal fabrication is likely going to be the best bet. About all I've come up with is the possibility of...

Looking to upgrade my network closet, need some advice

I went under contract for my new construction house in March 2010 and closed June 2010. The house was just at the studs when I went under contract so I had cat6 runs put in by a separate sub-contractor (at the time, I didn't know much about the proper installation of cables and jacks and all...

How to tell two WLANs with same SSID apart?

Haha, well played. I was neither born nor raised in SC (nor do I live there any more) but I did go to Clemson.

How to tell two WLANs with same SSID apart?

Good deal, that behavior is what I've read about so I decided to make use of an old router and provide an access point closer to the guest bedrooms. It also happens to be physically closer to where my laptop is most of the time so I thought maybe I'd be slightly better off in that regard as...

How to tell two WLANs with same SSID apart?

Ah, so easy, it seems. I will try that out and see what it says. Thank you! I guess as a follow-up question, because I have two access points with the same settings, should I be able to seamlessly transition between the two as I move around the house, to whichever one has the stronger signal at...

How to tell two WLANs with same SSID apart?

Hi all, I've got what I hope is just a quick question about my network setup. For background, I have cable internet service that comes in to my modem and then into my router (WRT54GL running DD-WRT). This router functions as a wireless access point and also distributes the internet...

I'm not sure if I will or not. I'd say skip me just in case.
