How do I design my setup at home using business solutions?

I have Fibre at home and many devices so I'm looking at getting the following setup:
 

ONT -> Router -> Switch -> Patch Panel (near electrical) -> AP (walls and ethernet jacks)

 

For the router I was looking at the ER7206. I'm going to add a OC200 to it as well.

 

For the AP's I'll use 6 EAP-655's.

 

Each room in the house will have:

1 ethernet external

1 ethernet in wall (for AP)

cable

phone

 

I'm having trouble figuring out which switch to use, as I know it will need at least 8 but I wish for 16 ports. It needs "active" POE so I don't blow up other devices, and I'd like L2 features to secure down my network for the home office portion.

 

Is there a recommended setup for this scenario?

Sorry for the delay in responding.

 

I've found that very often one needs more ports than they think they need!

I have a SG3428X that was, what I thought was way more ports than I needed.  Now however...   :-)

 

Besides level 2 support, this switch has limited level 3 support included which gives more options.  It is Omada capable.

 

It inclures 4 ports that are 10G capable which makes it future compatable.  That's the X in the model name.

A SG3428 with a P at the end indicates POE and the M indicates POE plus which seems to be what you want.

 

A word about POE.  Most switches that provide POE have a fan in them.  They are little tiny fans and when they kick in, they can be, ah, disconcerting, loud, annoying.

depending on where in your house the switch resides.  That's why I use POE injectors for the few devices that require it.  YMMV.

 

Hope this helps.

It sounds like you have a plan for a comprehensive home network setup that includes a Fiber ONT, router, switch, patch panel, and access points. For your router, the ER7206 with an OC200 is a good choice. For your access points, the EAP-655's are a solid option.

Regarding the switch, it is important to have a switch with enough ports to accommodate all of your devices and with "active" POE to protect other devices. A 16-port switch with L2 features would be ideal for your setup. Some popular options that meet these requirements include: -Cisco SG250-26P 26-Port Gigabit PoE Smart Switch -NETGEAR ProSAFE Plus GS116Ev2 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Switch -TP-Link TL-SG1016PE 16-Port Gigabit Smart PoE Switch

I would recommend researching these options on similar apk and compare the features and pricing to see which one best suits your needs. Additionally, you can also consult with network administrator or IT professional for the best setup for your scenario.

Designing a home setup for business solutions can be a great way to maximize productivity and efficiency. First, decide what tools you need for the job. Consider items such as a computer, monitor, printer, office chair, and other necessary technology. You may also want to include an ergonomic keyboard, mouse, and other items that will help you work comfortably. Once you've identified the necessary items, consider the layout of your workspace. Make sure that you have enough desk space to accommodate your equipment and that it's organized in a way that makes sense to you. Make sure that you have adequate lighting, and that everything is within easy reach. Lastly, ensure that your workspace is comfortable, as this will help you stay focused and productive. With a little bit of planning, you can create an efficient and comfortable work source that will help you get the job done.

Setting up a business at home requires careful planning and consideration of the needs of the business. To begin, you should create a plan that outlines the goals of the business, the resources needed, and the tasks that will be required. Next, you should consider the space and equipment needed to run your business. This could include computers, software, a printer, and other necessary tools. You should also consider the infrastructure needed, such as a reliable internet connection and a secure network. Finally, choose the right business solutions for your needs. This could include tax software, customer relationship management software, or accountancy software. By taking the time to plan and design your home business setup, you can ensure that your business will run efficiently and effectively.

Yes, for your setup I recommend using the Ubiquiti US-16-150W switch. This switch has 16 ports and will provide active POE so you won't need to worry about damaging any of your other devices. It also has advanced L2 features, so it will be well-suited for use in a home office.  Additionally, the switch is manageble via the UniFi Network Controller, so you can easily configure and monitor your network from one convenient location.
