    Hello,

    I'm moving home soon and I'm at the stage of equipping my home with equipment - selecting devices to create a network.

    Some facts: RJ cables routed from the attic to 3 rooms in the house (separate cable for each room); the internet will be radio.

    As for what I would like to connect, it looks more or less like the diagram below.

    Network in a single-family house divided into LAN / WLAN - installation equipmen

    As for the functionality, I would like there to be internet and local area network in every socket - I would like to be able to read data from NAS in every room with a socket. In addition, of course, a WiFi network.

    Now my questions:
    - does a network planned in such a way make sense? Will I be able to access the NAS from any device connected to the socket?
    - my biggest doubts are where I should use the switch and router; when it comes to the WiFi signal, only from room 3 - I do not want to emit a signal from the attic

    I don't mean a specific piece of equipment (brand, etc.), but the idea itself.

    Any comments / advice are appreciated.

    Thank you in advance and best regards,
    Olek

    There may be eggs :)

    Instead of a switch at the top, I would give a router, and instead of a router I would give another switch - if there were no + Access Point sockets for Wi-Fi distribution

    If your ISP has a single IP address (and you probably do) then you can't use a switch on the WAN side. The first device from the antenna side must be a router, it has a NAT implementation and will assign private addresses to the rest of the devices, and will map many internal network addresses to a single address on the WAN side.

    In addition, the router will, in a sense, separate you from what would be on the other side. So a bit of security :) I would, without a doubt, put my own router right behind the antenna - but it's just me :)

    Where you have drawn a switch to be a router, a cable will suffice, it does not need to have WiFi on board.

    With the appropriate router configuration, the network would work in this configuration, but a better solution is to replace the router with the switch as written by its predecessors. Virtually every router has a built-in switch, so there will be no problem.

    Well, you just have to, because behind the antenna you have only one address and only one device will work, because either you have the address entered in the contract, or it is assigned automatically, and other devices connected to the switch will either report an IP address conflict or will not work at all. As for security, you are right because only the router is directly visible from the Internet, while other devices "see" the Internet, but are not seen.

    Cool!

    Thanks to everyone for the answers!

    That's what I wasn't sure about - whether it was a router or a switch at the beginning.

    One more thing - is it worth investing in Gigabit? After the local network, it will probably 'make a difference' ...

    IMHO is worth it.
    You have NAS.
    You're gonna keep photos and videos there, I guess right?
    I do not know what NAS, but what I have, on the 1GB network when copying to the NAS, it reaches several dozen (70-80) MB / s.
    With a 100mbit network, you will not exceed 12MB / s although you bought the fastest NAS
    Depending on what you want to copy, send, stream, take and count on this network.

    You can buy a 100mbit router, even with one LAN socket, and a gigabit switch with as many cables as you need. And preferably with a small margin.

    If the house is large (I see 2x TV), one radio will not cover the whole house via WiFi.
    Then consider that the switch should have exit PoE. You pull several cables to various remote parts of the house, where you connect the AP that is powered by the twisted pair. Access Point will then work at 100mbit, but WiFi is still enough.
    Then the access points do not need a power socket, they are small, neat, some kind of ceiling, etc.

    Exactly as you write - a NAS for photos, vacation videos, etc - will be QNAP's dual slot.

    As for AP, that's a good idea :)

    Thanks everyone for all the advice!

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around setting up a network in a single-family house with both LAN and WLAN capabilities. The user plans to connect multiple devices, including a NAS, through RJ cables routed to three rooms, with internet access provided via radio. Key points include the necessity of using a router at the start of the network to manage IP addresses and ensure security, as switches cannot be used directly on the WAN side. Recommendations suggest investing in Gigabit equipment for better data transfer rates, especially for NAS usage, and considering Access Points (AP) for improved WiFi coverage throughout the house. The user is advised to use a Gigabit switch and potentially PoE for powering APs without needing additional outlets.
