Took me about 3 and a half hours to do this. Looks good, now I need to get off the couch and begin segmenting the network for when my SO clicks on a green download button.

vlan tagging - the unsung hero of domestic tranquility.

Nice! But good lord some of those corners/lack of slack make me wince - if you have a few feet of slack at the ends, I'd use them 🫣

You have to pull them tight, otherwise the packets pool in the drooping parts and slow down the network

Think of it like a series of tubes...

Yeah I estimated around 90ft however I lost around 9 and a half feet to turns and bends and was left with a few inches to spare. There's a little bit of slack but it's hard to tell.

I'm going to profess ignorance about the spouse download button segmentation portion?
henfredemars@infosec.pub · 16 pts · 140d
I believe the implication is that the spouse is not technically literate or is for some other reason expected to be mislead into downloading untrusted or dangerous software.
By segmenting the network, the spouse's actions can be contained.

Yeah I tried to teach her not to click on links and stuff. She goes past all the warnings and enters everything. She no longer clicks on the rich Russian man get free money stuff or your computer is infected call us. But she still gets fooled by all the well crafted phishing attempts and it doesn't help that she is on every mailing list under the sun.
Surprised nobody has tried to buy a house in her name, it would be a good wakeup call. I mostly did this so because some nasty piece of malware was able to jump over the network from her computer to my mom's computer and almost steal all of the credentials to her bank accounts. Thank God for MFA.

It puts the anti-virus on it's skin.

Man, if anyone knows or a VLAN capable wifi 7+ access point that'll dump different SSIDs on different VLANs, please hit me up.
Right now I'm using an Orbi 6 Pro in AP mode, and it's fine, but I'm not getting the throughput I want for streaming games over my home network.
I want to keep all my networks separated from each other:

Unifi works for that and a lot more

Unifi, does that and just works for me.

I’ve been extremely into QoS lately and CAKE with nftables has been incredible. I’m regularly saturating the upload link (huge NAS backup to the cloud on cable internet) but you’d never guess it — video streaming, voice calls, etc. all take priority so the bulk upload just completely backs off.
plateee@piefed.social · 2 pts · 140d
Oh man, I should look at QoS throttling - I have a Synology that does backup to Wasabi S3 on the regular. Good call.

Mikrotik just dropped this one. https://mikrotik.com/product/hap_be3_media

The guy i worked with that always ran the cables told me to never run 1. Run 2 or 3 while you're at it. That's not the cost, the work is. Solid advise. Following it for deccades now, never a regret. In over 75% of the time he's right. There is always a use for the extra in the weeks after laying them.

Good job!
For future projects like this, check out multimodal fibers, which nowadays are all bend-insensitive, or these new "invisible fibers" - way easier to install than any copper cable.

we have something similar but with internet, since the modem was upstairs and someone living downstairs.
