I have read through a number of the posts in this forum and was wanting some recommendations on the following setup for a new house build: Setting up a central cupboard with all the networking, fibre connection and audio requirements so I'm looking at putting in a 6u or 9u wall rack unit to house the network side of things. Server, home theater will all be stored here.What I'm wanting to know is what you would recommend as far as Router and Switch as I have been going around in circles and overloading myself on different ideas. Will likely run some cat6 to wireless AP's in the roof so trying not to get an all in one unit as they are usually not as good I have found. Router: Something that is more than suitable for high speed fibre 200/200, I have seen the Mikrotik RB3011UiAS-RM with a faster CPU ( does this make a big difference?) but I don't necessarily need that many ports on a router as I will have 24 ports on the switch. Wanting to setup a VPN with a friends network as well.The Ubiquiti ERLITE-3 is smaller I would prefer rack mount but this would still tuck away nicely Switch:Have been looking a managed switch but wondering if that is overkill for home use, quite like the idea of having QOS setup as there is a lot going on in the home network.One I have been looking at is the TP-Link SG3424 again I would like recommendations that fit with the whole setup Hopefully that makes sense, I would appreciate any feedback you have even if its just to say why the hell would you want / need to do that at home, I don't like to cut corners just to save a buck :) BP
