# Revamped the network
## What was the impetus?
The WiFi here has been pretty terrible for a while. Upgrading our internet speed at home made things better, but not great. Last year I ran a bunch of ethernet through the attic which did help overall, but performance over wireless was still badly lacking. I needed to reboot devices often and ASUS's documentation for their routers was, frankly, dogshit.
### Main Causes
- Old equipment
-- ASUS AX-92U (x2 in mesh)
-- Motorola Surfboard.. something (replaced prior to this project, but the routers gaslighted me into thinking the new modem was a problem...)
- Spaghetti network
-- No VLANs
-- No special firewall controls
-- The 2.4GHz band is flooded with IoT devices
- Mostly using free/cheap/used equipment
-- This isn't changing THAT much... but now I have a 24-port PoE switch
