To davidgo: I don't understand if the current Modem installed here has routing, but it does have DHCP on it's settings.
#Modem and router in one password#
A single SSID and password helps reducing the quantity of saved passwords, etc. ģ.1 - What favours the "star" topology is the very central physical positioning of the Modem (ONU) on the house ģ.2 - It's up to you, the ones who understand, to confirm, but my intuition says star is "less layers", "less routings", "less NATs" (had to look up what it is, after JW0914's comment), "less variation of configurations".Ĥ - The house roaming is optional, specially if it will complicate the setup. Is this approach faster or more reliable or more "inter-independent" than cable ?Ģ - Security, privacy, and above normal reliability are not important ģ - I dislike cascaded equipment because all I need is for the first to fail for the others to fail subsequently. Specially if the father Wireless device is not an expensive one. That seems (again, by my understanding) not different from the cascade topology, and all the problem it brings. Sorry to disappoint those expecting a state-of-the-art pet project.ġ.1 - Many of you suggest (by my understanding) tha I use "repeaters" instead of wired routers. I expect only a marginally better equipment next house. It chokes constantly, but it does the job. But rest assured I'm reading everything.ġ - My intention was for simple and cheap. Not sure what features it supports, so, for the sake of simplicity, compatibility, and consistency, I'd be thankful if they all received similar settings.Īs the question was quite longe, I left behind some "guidelines". I already have one router, and it is a cheap one. The routers will each be connected to desktops and phones, so they should each provide wireless AND cabled connection interchangeably (nothing atypical unless they still sell pure Wi-Fi or pure cabled routers). Will the modem or router(s) themselves handle DHCP or other conflicts?įor network/printer/scanner compatibility reasons, they must all be on the same subnet. My intention was NOT to wire modem to A, then from A to B, then from B to C, as some suggestions I been reading.Ĭan the former be done, leaving the same SSID to all the three routers? Since the modem has three ports, I was planning on wiring modem to router A, modem to router B and modem to router C.
I intend to have three routers around the house.Ĭonveniently, the company has a fiber optics modem with three ports. I'm planning the network for the house I'm blueprinting.
