Model: TL-SG108E  
Hardware Version: V6
Firmware Version:

I manage streaming for my medium-sized church and a recent surge has taken out much of our network equipment. I procured a 108e in order to restore connectivity for live streaming but my church would like to replace their wifi network. I am recommending that they replace their old residential grade routers with a switch and multiple wireless AP's (I've quoted 3 ap's in the Omada line. I need a little help making sure the configuration I imagine will work. I would want the 108e to be private from any wireless user, but if possible be able to configure items on the network from the attached PC. Would this configuration work? And can I set it up so that the secondary network receives priority over the wireless AP's?

Thank you for your post. If you want multiple networks, you should first confirm whether your router supports that. What exactly do you mean by “want the TL-SG108E to be private from any wireless user” and “the secondary network should receive priority over the wireless AP’s”? You may need to provide more details so we can understand your real requirement.

  @Ethan-TP The subnetwork being run by the 108E should not be accessible via anybody connected to a wireless access point. But the PC on that subnetwork should be able to pull up IP's across the entire network in order to perform configurations and updates. Also, traffic on the wireless AP's should never be so high that we can't maintain a livestream via devices on the 108E. I'm mostly worried about making sure that the settings on that router are correct for what I want to accomplish. Also, the 108E is in a different room from the main switch, and I want it there in case we add additional equipment such as another PTZ camera.

 

I also had another person recommending a few changes to our configuration so while we already have the 108E, we're proposing that we purchase an Omada 20-port managed switch with PoE+, Omada 200 controller, and three Omada AP's, if that changes anything. He's assuring me that we can segment off the wireless AP's. The above diagram still basically reflects how I imagine everything will be connected.
