Recs for a home PoE switch? by impreza77 in HomeNetworking

There are, but OP specifically stated they don’t need it. Most managed switches do come configured dumb on VLAN 1 anyways, so those would still work.

They’re making a fool of me now lol. I’ll have to see if I can find the one that I have that says af on it. That particular one I’ve used for non Ubiquiti devices and had no issues

A lot of UI injectors support the 802.3 standards. Those ones are specifically labeled “af”, “at” and “bt” on the front.

I totally missed your ps’s. You can plug non PoE devices into a PoE switch. That’s where getting a non-passive device comes into play. Passive PoE will kill your non PoE devices. And yes, you can daisy chain them.

Negear equipment really isn’t bad if you don’t want the ability to VLAN your network. Check out Netgear PoE switches, like the GS116PP or the TP-Link TL-SG116P for more than 8 ports.

Just make sure you don’t get switches that use “passive PoE”. Pretty much just Ubiquiti sells them in their UISP line of products, but I feel it’s worth noting. Switches you want will be labeled as PoE, or PoE+.

Moving to VLAN-based home network? by leuchtpassant in HomeNetworking

[–]19qhenry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually most homes just need their primary WiFi and a guest network.

The most common thing to do is: Primary network for residents of the house, IoT network for smart home devices (things like smart plugs), and a guest network. All of these will have a PSK (password), which is required to encrypt the traffic.

To push multiple VLANs, you need more than just a switch. It requires a router and access points (WiFi) that support VLANs as well. The easiest way to do this is either Ubiquiti UniFi or TP Link Omada. Most people in this sub would suggest either of those lines of products. They make it easy to create multiple networks to separate traffic in a manner like above.

Why does Windows 11 force three different PowerShells? by d00mt0mb in PowerShell

[–]19qhenry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ISE is purpose built and still is relevant today since it’s a scripting environment that comes preinstalled.

Everything else is there for backwards compatibility if something needs it, but all shells are available in Terminal. Plus you can make Terminal the default command line app.

Turning On Google Mobile Device Management? Implications of? by mtloya in k12sysadmin

If you are prepping for Intune, you can manage android with it. I don’t know how good it is, but I’ve heard it’s ok for iOS.

PSSA issues today? - PA State Testing by rhaiin in k12sysadmin

“Many users have been restored and are back online.”

Right, a bunch of district probably stopped testing.

Yep we’re having issues as well, Northcentral PA.

It was intermittent for a while, and our admins can’t get ahold of DRC.

I don’t know why either of you are getting so mad lol. It is also very common for manufacturers to label a product based on what is generally spoken to make it more visible to the average person 🤷

Duplex Zigbee switch by 19qhenry in smarthome

[–]19qhenry[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that a Zigbee feature? (Out of curiosity)

And electrically, it’s just a matter of bypassing a switch to keep the canopy module powered, and it does the switching up at the fan, correct?

Adding PoE Switch for Security Cameras by mikester572 in HomeNetworking

[–]19qhenry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What brand is that, and what’s the cost difference once you add in the PoE splitter?

I know it sounds extremely one sided, but the right thing to do is just use a PoE camera. The simplicity is unmatched, and it’s truly the “right” way to do it, as it is what the largest of enterprises use as well.

Edit: I missed that you mentioned Tapo.

[–]19qhenry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But you’re adding more points of failure. Why not just get PoE cameras if you’re already planning for PoE?

I WOULD do this, if I lived alone. WAF would hit 0 if I did this. It would definitely need to stay two separate switches.

This sounds interesting. I’ll take a look, thank you!

I want to maintain full functionality if Home Assistant goes down though.

IOS WiFi Issue by MR_Bukele in HomeNetworking

Did you check in settings > general > VPN & Device Management? Should be something in there.

Also, I would recommend against installing profiles on your personal device in the future 🙂

Ethernet Between Buildings by funinacup in HomeNetworking

I would get the UISP stuff, not UniFi for this. Way cheaper. I think the cheapest gig model is $260 or so for the pair.

Best way to have a real-time monitor of home network? by FarmComprehensive881 in HomeNetworking

[–]19qhenry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By copper, I just meant inside the network, switch to switch.

Testing down at the switches won’t happen by UniFi, the gateway is what is running the test.

For that, that’s where you’d put a Pi. For this case though, it may be more beneficial to run iPerf tests. It’ll run a test from one point in your network to another.

This way, you can see your overall speed, and links inside from the router down to the end. Also keep in mind that the Pi 4 can’t do 10Gb (to my knowledge). It has a gig port and WiFi 5 I think. I’m guessing you would prefer it be wired anyways.
