Fun(?) with switches. A question about setting up a network with ethernet, wifi and Decos.
I'm setting up my home network and am hoping for a little more guidance than what is offered in the FAQ. I was thinking to hardwire my decos, work computers and some other stuff and have a couple of satellites scattered throughout the house. I would like to support not only wifi but extend the ethernet capability as well, since I only have so many jacks in each room.
The modem is a modem/router and I have turned off the router feature and am using the passthrough via instructions I found on this forum because my network right now is purely wifi. My main Deco is set as the router.
In my diagram, all three decos are wired directly to the modem. The modem goes to a switch and I will hardwire what I can through the switch. Is this possible? Does this make sense? Would I just need to make the main deco an AP to make this work? What if I need to attach another switch along the way in one of my rooms that doesn't have enough jacks?
Should I be allowed to build my own home network? No
Do I like a good challenge? Yes
Is my brain melting? Absolutely
