# 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
