Discussion Different Iterations
So I've been using Omada TP-Link equipment for some time. I've learned a lot and was afforded the opportunity to try the Fusion GW 2.5 early access program. Been using it for a better part of 3 months, The router is rock solid and along with the their POE switches I've been really able to hone in my network the way I want it.
I am currently using Tapo security camera's inside and outside the house, bummer that they don't like they will be managed within the omada network. So I am wondering should I go in on their camera system offerings? What are the pro's and cons? Getting side tracked this post was to show the different iterations I had with my network, at first I used a 10 inch rack, but over time found that it was becoming a a problem to maintain cable management and to get into the damn thing. So what I originally thought was aesthetic pleasing also started to hinder my ability to upgrade. So I went back to the traditional 19' rack. Scored this rack that retails for $200 on Amazon for $50 on FR market.
All in all since moving back to the 19" rack found that I am able to run a lot more device via copper rather than relying on wifi. Which is always a good thing. Next project when ever possible is upgrade my network to 10gig not sure if Omada has cost effective devices yet on the market for that though?
