In the coming days I will be working on my network infrastructure. Apparently, my main router (Netgear
\nNighthawk R8500-100NAS) is EoL. So with that I\u2019m going to move the routing features over to a new
\nsystem which will make this unit an access point until I can get Wifi 6 running in the future. I have a lot
\nof Internet of Things in my home using Philips Hue Smart Bulbs to Samsung SmartThings. My network
\nbackend is using a Netgear 24p Smart Switch and a 10p PoE switch.<\/p>\n
My main issue is the wifi. The wifi is split between a newer access point (Nighthawk X6S Tri-Band WiFi
\nMesh Extender) that I have on my network. The connected devices are not showing on my main router
\nwhich is a concern. I look at some options that would cost me up to $700 but I\u2019m not going that route
\njust for wifi. It could be that I don\u2019t understand mesh networks.<\/p>\n
I will have to merge 2 servers into one as I currently have 2 servers running Windows Server 2019
\nDatacenter and Windows Hyper V 2019. Being the Hyper V 2019 is using newer hardware. This comes
\ninto play as my new firewall will be on a VM container on the Hyper V server. I also need to Downgrade
\nfrom 8 3TB drives to 5 8TB drives as 8TBs should be plenty of storage to last me 5 more years. I will leave
\nmy NVR computer as standalone. So I have some storage requirements to work out before years end.
\nThat\u2019s All for now. Happy Hoidays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
