Using Router as a Firewall and LAN 2.5 GB setting
Using Router as a Firewall and LAN 2.5 GB setting
Hi there!
I'm new to router and Network setup and could use some advice.
I'm looking at the ER707-M2 router for a small office/home setup.
Here's what I want to do:
- Use the router as a simple firewall
- Connect to my provider's 2.5 Gbit access point via WAN port
- Use one 2.5 Gbit LAN port to connect to a switch and provide full 2 GBit access to all ports and new devices
- Enable DHCP on the router for a single LAN network (unless you guys have a better suggestion)
- Connect to my TP-Link Deco XE75 Pro Wi-Fi 6E Mesh for streaming home automation and other older Wi-Fi devices
Before buying, I want to make sure this setup is possible and not overkill. While I don't need VPN now, it might be useful later.
Can anyone confirm if the ER707-M2 is suitable for this setup and not a overkill?
Any advice or alternatives are welcome!
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards
