I am tired of all of the home networking junk and was going pro-sumer, but with the setup I know I need a hardware controller and a poe switch to run the access points, but is the VPN router needed in the system. I do not have a static IP address and do not really have the need to pay for a dynDNS. I have no real need to access devices on the network remotely so I do not need a VPN. What I can’t figure out is if this is actually the router on the network or if the hardware controller is. Thanks for the clarification!
