u dont have to go thru router in lan at all ;)

the traffic would be between 2 devices on the same LAN, say a PC he's editing with and the NAS. As long as the NIC on the PC and NAS support 10gb and the switch ports theyre connected to support it, you have a 10gb connection.

@@salt473 That's correct. All the touch points along the route need to be at the maximum speed. The connection will be at the speed of the lowest node/connection along the Way. You and I are in agreement

Another mistake I see is people placing another switch after a node. It's sometimes necessary, but they don't realize that then the 1GB signal is being split across the 5-8 ports. You're not getting 1GB into each switch port if you're using more than 1.

​​@@ChrisSmithMusickinda? I mean, with WiFi and CDMA it is definitely like that, and if all clients want to utilise all bandwidth it is like that wired as well. But most switches are smart enough that just plugging in a device does not limit the bandwidth. In other words, a switch will not split 1 Gbps in 8 just because the all 8 ports are plugged in, and limit each client to 1/8. It'll throttle the clients' bandwidth only if need be.

yes, but what does he mean "you order internet and the internet guy comes over"? Why does someone come over? Isn't internet activated remote where he lives?

​@@__Mr.White__ Varies by location, and/or maybe previous ISP providers did something

@@__Mr.White__ The ISP might send over a technician to install your router if you don't know how to do it. Probably upsell you on cable packages and stuff while they are there lol

"Next" video? That's this one, just fewer U's. Have you seen the prices on Ubiquiti's gear? That "Enterprise" 10Gb switch is likely $10k by itself.

@@LethargicSquirrel 🤣

As a low voltage contractor myself I would like to chime in and argue Cat6A is overkill in residential for "most" customers. Without having a discussion with the client I typically opt or Cat6 cable with a CMR fire rating and a solid copper core... Might shoot myself in the foot for this one because everyone else says stay away from copper cladding aluminum (CCA) cables but IMO it's the lowest cost wired option and still more stable then wireless so I'll give the client what they want albeit with a disclaimer.

cat5e can handle 10gb upto 40m

@@ch3vr0n123 I think you meant Cat6. Cat5e maxs out at 2.5g/100m

@@nicholasbackwell1869 no, cat5e can handle 10g easy

@@nicholasbackwell1869 Depends on the country. In Italy everyone in a large-ish city generally has relatively easy access to 2.5 Gbps speeds to the internet if they have a fiber optic connection. Sometimes even 10Gbps. Even small villages tend to be wired up to 1Gbps. At those speed you should have the fastest wiring you can get. Actually, you are held back by networking gear, generally

There's a learning curve to all this Ubiquiti stuff, but if you enjoy tinkering, you'll be spending hours in the settings!

@@JimmyTriesWorld i love tinkering with stuff like this! also have a plex server and you’ve helped with my nas storage as well in your previous videos. love your content keep up the good work!👍🏾

@@marcusjucoI’d just temper your expectations a little. Unifi is a little notorious for giving bad performance (particularly if you don’t know how to set it up). Even I swapped back from ubiquiti to my ISP provided router as the ubiquiti was simply slower. Not like I don’t now what I’m doing either, my job is setting up 50-100 AP Meraki business sites. Ubiquiti is really one of those bell curve brands you love it when you know a little and hate them once you know a lot.

How did it go? I'd hate for this to be one of those situations where: 1) You've asked for help but used the term WiFi and internet interchangeably so got the wrong advice. ISP / ISP router fault. Or 2) Site survey wasn't performed and it's due to channel saturation. Hope all good with ubiquiti swap, but I see those a lot

@@incandescentwithrage It’s going amazing! I love the flexibility and all of the little settings that you can do with it especially with the guest Wi-Fi. I can literally charge people if I want to or add a cool one time password for them, see exactly everything thats going in and out of my routers, also add Custom website for the WiFi login. Definitely had to deal with the Wi-Fi and the channel situation in my neighborhood, but with the Ubiquity set up, it has literally been amazing. I can literally switch to whatever channel I want get exact bandwidth. For example, I can limit the amount of bandwidth that guest Internet can have. A lot more settings than what I could’ve done with my Google Wi-Fi 6E, I’m happy I made the switch and also have the ability to expand more access points in the future is amazing. I love the whole modular set up. And still alot more to expolre it’s alot of fun.

Some friends be dragging me into too many tech rabbit holes!

Hey, thanks for opening for questions. Im drowning in information (about 3 months of data/information acquisition). As a pro, would you say ubiquity or pfsense/opnsense type of firewall is better for homelab and learning networking? I am updating/upgrading my lab and adding virtualization to it and I’m just getting into the networking side and wanting to set up vlans from my server as well as iot. Right now I have them on a separate port on my nic and separate interface on my opnsense. But other than a different subnet I see no other security features without going vlan (without adding rules). I am deciding on buying a 3 layer switch, but concerned about accessing my server from home if it’s on separate vlan controlled by switch. I don’t care to open my server to internet (other than tunnels, or tailscale, or RP) do you have any advice?

Or Openwrt on rather cheaper devices.

I suppose a ring would be alright for a home network since you don't have the redundancy at the distribution layer. With STP though, it still does take time to converge.

@@salt473 yeah, I mean I don’t recommend it. From what I’ve seen on UniFi, the switch over is pretty quick (

What you would do with open sense ?

If your PC can you can create VMs running different OPNSense instances so you can play with it

If you're connecting those devices using an access point, its wireless. That access point broadcasts SSIDs (like the names of wireless networks you'd see on your phone). plugging it into the switch just connects it to the network for management or power if its a power over ethernet AP, as well as allows for communication to a Wireless Lan Controller if the AP is a LWAP (Lightweight Access Point)

I don't know if I would discourage people from using Powerline adapter. They have good uses especially if you can't drag Ethernet cable for direct connection or AP. I successfully used them multiple times and reach near 300 Mbps which is full bandwith for me. But this highly relies on your electric installation. So I would encourage potential buyers to make sure they can try it out and return adapter if network speed is not sufficient.

Why are you concerned over wifi radiation?

I have a whole setup of unifi stuff and it’s all super quiet.

I have a UDM Pro, UDM Pro SE, Pro 24 POE, and Enterprise 24 POE and everything is extremely quiet. Granted, they are all in basements where the ambient temperature is around 66°F, so I imagine if you put them somewhere warmer or with little ventilation the fans could be louder to cool the system. Right now my UDM Pro SE is reporting internal temp of 108°F, and the fan is running at 35% power (~1100rpm) and is virtually silent. If I bump it up to 60% power it’s making about as much noise as a desktop computer might make when the fan is running (still pretty quiet). If I go to 100% it’s much louder, not a disturbance, but not something I’d want in my bedroom while I’m falling asleep. One room over I’m sure you wouldn’t hear a thing, but again that is at 100% power which it shouldn’t need if in an air conditioned space. Good luck w your setup!

@@mikeb1220 Cool thank you so much for your reply our setup will be placed in the garage so I'm guessing about same temp :)

It's almost all silent, I've only heard a fan on the smaller egg shaped UDR (Dream Router) outside of that only my Synology NAS makes noise and that's just when the hard drives are being accessed. There are ways to add rubber or felt to areas where it vibrates to reduce noise, and if well ventilated the fans won't run much either.

same!

If you don't mind them all seeing and talking to each other perhaps. Also depends on how many devices you'll be putting in, because especially cameras are constantly screaming out data.

Nothing is wrong with too much switch, I run a 48 port and use literally 4 ports on it lol

Wasting too much power​@@deepspacecow2644

that might be a Arris BGW 320-500, most of them can be setup as DHCP or you can call your ISP or tech to remotely configure it. Used to be part of Telco Provider in the US, haha.

I'm having a house built at the moment. It was so frustrating to have to ask them to remove all of the stuff on the standard plan such as phone wires etc and just put Cat6. They looked at me like I'm an alien for wanting it.

I'd recommend pouring over unifi youtube videos, specs on their website, as well as the unifi subreddit to see what others are doing. Crosstalk Solutions, Matcom Telecom, and many others have tons of UniFi videos and examples for different setups. Welcome to the sickness. lol

I'm banned from creator a top level comment but just wanted to say, hi.

Why is 10gig cat6a or 7 not sufficient for 8gig internet?

Cat 6 can push 10g, you have no idea what you are talking about. Cat 7 and 8 are basically useless, as there is none of the 25gbaset or 40gbaset gear for them because it all runs extremely hot. Above 10g its OS2, nothing else.

He said he bought a lot of it up-front and the big switches were extra overkill from the company. For everyone else I'd recommend the $200 UDR (UniFi Dream Router) It's an all in one router, hotspot and 4 port managed switch, 2 of which have PoE (Power over Ethernet) It's a small 4" diameter x 7" tall egg so anyone can get started with a pro-sumer device. I can tell you it's worlds above anything from Netgear, Linksys/Cicso, etc for home devices. It can also be expanded about as far as you want by adding more switches & devices when you want, need or can afford them.

Insignificant

😂

The problem with Ubiquiti is that their products, when setup correctly, will allow you to watch an entire flat earth series on KZfaq without interruptions.

if you’re worried about emf dont use visible light either its all the same electromagnetic spectrum from sunlight to leds its all EMF

@@jaquan123ism thanks for your feedback, but can you please explain why you think like that? I tried to look op health research, but this is kindda what they say

This is incorrect. Ethernet defines the physical wired technologies and rules. Parts of these rules defined translate to other network interfaces, but fundamentally Ethernet defines physical networks. Wifi is NOT Ethernet.

He really said fiber and WiFi are Ethernet lol

@@javierelozano How are the fiber ethernet standards not ethernet? Also, ethernet frames are sent over wifi, even if its technically not ethernet. Also, do you know the OSI model?
