Just dropping in to say thank you. Fantastic tool. I really appreciate it.

Thanks guys, managed to pick up a second-hand Intel gigabit NIC for $10. Same one on amazon was $166NZD? What the..

What NIC card did you get fort he Dell Optiplex? I just bought a Dell Optiplex 9020, but the chassis is slim and I can't find a NIC card for it .

Ok so if I'm understanding correctly now, people are using a separate NIC to isolate the cameras and BI server simply for security purposes, not traffic or congestion. Is that right? So the answer to questions I had are: - Use a second NIC to isolate the network for security purposes. - A...

Hi guys, i drew a diagram of what im thinking to do. Id like to have just one managed switch and set up a vlan, but does it defeat the purpose of having two NICs and separating the networks? What im trying to say is will my, my wifes, my childs traffic be slowed by everything going into a...

I am so confused now I don't know anymore. I am thinking of just getting a second NIC card and doing it that way. I tried to set up a subnet by plugging a router into my primary router, but couldn't get it to work. My modem / router has a really unintuitive ui. And now im deterred by it and just...

Im reading around here: https://community.ubnt.com/t5/EdgeRouter/VLAN-or-second-router-double-NAT-need-suggestions/td-p/1954832 It looks like others are achieving what I require with firewall rules and a regular (dumb) switch. Apologies, this is not my area of expertise.

Okay so i just had a look around and I found 2 spare routers. Netcom N300 Modem / Router. Belkin N600 Modem / Router. Could one of these be used in some way to separate the traffic?

I am looking at this switch: Buy the NETGEAR ProSAFE JGS516PE 16-Port Gigabit Web Managed PoE Switch with 8... ( JGS516PE-100AJS ) online - PBTech.co.nz

What I would like to achieve is: I have all cam ethernet cables terminating into my server closet. I have all the room ethernet cables terminating into my server closet. I have an i7 pc on a server rack in the server closet. I would like cam traffic isolated from other network traffic for speed...

This is a new (older) home, so I am also in the process of running ethernet throughout. So will also need a switch where the home lan points terminate, so im thinking just a single 24 port managed switched will solve all of my problems and provide me the greatest flexibility. What do you think?

It is an i7 870, on an Asus P7H55-M mobo. Only the single network port on the back. Edit: 4 x 2MP starlight cameras.

Thanks guys, all sorted. So I'm going to set up my previous i7 PC to be the blue iris server. To separate it from my main network, so the camera data does not clog bandwidth on the regular lan. Do I need a managed switch and a vlan? Long story short I want to separate video traffic from family...

Thank you. Question; I plan to install this on the underside of the eave of the house. Do i need the Junction box accessory? It says it is optional, so I hope I don't.

Hey all so this specific seller and link is the lowest cost, including shipping to me. Is there anything suspicious or worrying about buying this from AliExpress or is it legitimate? The two identical photos of the product with and without the Dahua logo worries me somewhat. Also is the front...
