Hello,
Just wanted to share my attic setup , following devices:
Edgerouter X -> openwrt latest stable
OrangePi Zero -> pihole as DNS only.
tp-link switch 8p -> got 7 divisions in my house, only 2 with a pair of ethernet, the rest one.
tp-link 8p (equal) -> NAS and CCTV cameras, got 2 cameras, one via powerline in the photo which the other end is located in the garage where i don’t have wired internet, works fine YMMV, running cable through there would probably be a PITA
Also RF for every location in the house (basically 1 ETH 1 RF, except when there’s 1 RF and 2 ETH in 2 divisions)
1 TP-LINK EAP 670 located in the 1st floor, which gives range of the whole house including a “fair” range in the garage, before i had 2 UAP-AC-LITE that did a worse job, while running openwrt.
VLANs / subnets / firewall:
IPTV for ISP box is directly from router configured IGMP port, so as to not flood the switches / LAN, runs on .2 subnet instead of .1.
Wireguard configured in .5 subnet for remote access on mobile.
NAS / Cameras blocked from WAN access.
It’s running good so far, the only issue i sometimes have, is the DNS pihole seems to somehow mess up and my computer reports limited connection, although the rest of the house seems to work, and when that happens, only DNS is broken because connections already made are good.
If / when Edgerouter gives out, i’ll plan to switch to a RaspPi or x86 equivalent with at least 2 NIC’s, preferrably more.
Comments appreciated:
