KiKaZz74 Posted July 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Here's what I've got. Thanks a ton for that other site otherwise I would've been double the cost. As far as I can tell the switch is 10/100/1000 on all ports. Do u see anything I may be missing? And here is the one I have. If nothing else I can sell it if it works on other networks and have Mediacom send us a different one.

hifonix Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Parts list looks good. Switch looks fine. I know nothing about the Arris. Is the Arris just for VoIP (telephones only) all the photos of it i can find show only one ethernet port for a incoming/outgoing connection.

KiKaZz74 Posted July 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 It was supposed to be a 2 in one. But after calling and activating it I found they charge like $5 a month to activate the WiFi feature. So activated the old one My SPL to SQ Build Log Vehicle:1997 Dodge Dakota Ext Cab 4x4 2009 Dodge Journey SXT5.2L V8 Magnum 3.5L V6 Stock AltEquipment: Headunit- Alpine CDE-147BT Mids/Highs Amp- JL Audio G6600 Class AB 6 Channel Sub Amp- Hifonics BRZ1700.1D @ 2 Ohms Taramps DSP3000.1D Sub- Hertz Hi Energy 12" HX300D SounDrive SDA3 12 Tweeters- Rockford Fosgate Power Series Silk Domes Hertz Hi-Energy Mids- Dayton Audio Reference 4" Full Range Drivers Midbass- Silver Flute 6.5" Hertz Hi-Energy 6.5" Processor- MiniDSP 2x4 RCA- 6 channels of SounDrive HF series Wire- EB Flex 2/0 -Member of Team SounDrive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hifonix Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Could pick up something like this and put your netgear downstairs. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320168 Under Construction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiKaZz74 Posted July 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Seems cheap enough. I'll just have to figure out how to set it up. Would u wire that in or stand alone?

MrSkippyJ Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 im not that up to date on networking, but why use a switch? I don't see the need for it.

hifonix Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 I would wire it KiKaZz74, but you could try it wireless and see how it works. Should it not perform well setup using wireless you could always run a cable out to it. MrSkippyJ he needs a switch because he is going to have more than 4 devices hardwired.

aculous Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 So I didn't read really deep into this but from my experience hardwiring your network is always the best idea. No matter what you do wireless won't be perfect unless you add a lot of equipment and money and thats a PITA. So not sure if anyone mentioned but a router and a switch are pretty similar in what they do, a hub is not. A router and a hub would most likely be what you are looking for. Basically the router assigns IP addresses to your devices and hub acts only as a connection point, getting IP addresses from the router, whereas a switch can assign IP addresses as well. A hub or a switch will both work, I would just get a hub because its going to be cheaper and your router will be doing the heavy lifting anyway. I would run all gigabit equipment, cat5e or 6 can support it, go with cat6 if you can. Also instead of doing big cable runs you can do powerline adapters which are super convenient and decently fast. https://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/powerline/ I use powerline adapters to get from one floor to another and run full gigabit from there. On a side note, probably need to upgrade your router. I would go with one with full gigabit on it and probably a netgear prosafe or some type of commercial grade router if you can afford it. I got mine for literally the same price as the consumer model and has lasted for years as well as having some nice networking options. Also I could sell it on ebay if I want for half price 10 years later. Not to bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kade Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 I'm late to the party! I do cabling, networking, and IP-based surveillance for a living. Do you have any other questions, KiKaZz74?

MrSkippyJ Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 this all seems ridiculously complicated for a home network. what is the issue with wireless?
