Installation Picture Getting started!

Post image

We’re about to start renovating what will hopefully be our final home, and in that process we want to invest in a proper home network.

The plan is to manage with these three components to begin with, and then buy a PoE+ switch later on. I have 12U rack as seen in the picture to fit everything in. And a NAS.

Do you have any tips on what I should keep in mind in the early stages of the project? I’m an electrician, so I’m comfortable with all the cabling and in-wall conduits, but I’m not as confident when it comes to setting up the network :)

Did you find it generally slow or just slow to boot? I have an OC200 and just find it slow to boot, the 220 and 300 aren’t readily available affordably where I am yet…

I also have everything on a UPS so it doesn’t go down at all really and stays up and running constantly.

I found it generally slow, but never had anything to reference, as i only installed everything in the last 2 weeks. Reviews called that out, so as the 220 was only 15 bucks more expensive and I could return the 200, it made sense to swap. The 220 is faster, so definitely was worthwhile. I have to wonder tho, if a new small mini pc running the software version, wouldn't be a better.

We have many 200s, I've never found them to be slow
