Network Upgrade Inbound!
Finally pulled the trigger on a home network overhaul/upgrade. Currently using a mix of Asus router/APs and they've worked more or less, but I've had a lot of issues with them (like when my S21 connects to the router on the latest firmware it causes a restart, roaming not doing literally anything at all, AIMesh issues, other firmware issues that caused me to rollback numerous times, etc). I'm hoping going to a prosumer based all in one platform will be a nice upgrade overall, but also wanted the extra security features to properly handle my networks and traffic, and be able to segment tenant traffic. It'll be quite a learning curve, but looking forward to it. Hoping I can get to install this weekend!
What's in the box:
- Cloud gateway fiber
- 2x Flex 2.5G POE switches
- 2x power adapters for the switches
- 2x U7 Pro XGS (POE powered)
Not pictured:
- 10G direct attach cable for gateway to 1 switch
- UI care on all for extended warranty/quicker replacement (I work from home so I can't wait for RMA process if something dies).
All in all with tax, shipping, stupid memory surcharge, came out to about $1,900 and arrived in 2 days. I'm near one of the warehouses, so that helps.
If you've got any tips for install or quirks to keep in mind, please let me know!
