I've run 3 Cat6 and 2 Cat7 cable lines in place going from the 2nd floor to the first. [Nothing connected yet.]
Upstairs:
(1) wireless router
(2) smart network gigabit switch.
(3) NAS (gigabit connection)
Downstairs:
(1) router (as an access point)
(2) router (as an access point)
(3) two (2) 8-port gigabit switches (Netgear GS108)
Downstairs:
[There are several devices that would be connected by cable.]
(a) - Standalone DVR/Media Streamer
(b) - Blu Ray Player
(c) - 3 Printers
...
(d) 4 IP Cameras [between 720 and 1080] will connect to NVR, which connects to screen downstairs.
------
What is the best way to set up all these devices without bogging down the network?
I've been told various things like putting the HDTV Streaming on it's own network (its own router and SSID)?
I've been told to run separate cables from the 4 IP Cameras to a separate switch, to the NVR.
I'm open to any ideas.
Thank you very much.
