I went with their less expensive UniFi AP which was only $69. I don't need that much performance considering I'm on DSL now until Fios becomes available in my area.
Hi all,
Just a follow-up here. I've installed the patch panel and it was relatively easy. Still waiting on receiving the switch and Ubiquiti AP in the mail. See below. I'm thinking about switching that power strip for a slim profile one so that everything fits better in the On-Q enclosure. Any...
Very inspiring. Thank you. Although I don't think I need as big of a set up, but maybe eventually down the line.
How would you compare the Ubiquiti UniFi to the Cisco WAP321?
Thanks again @ch33zw1z and @dawza!
I just ordered some parts so I'm hoping to get this started by the end of the week or next week.
Are crossover cables the same as patch cables? I can't seem to find them on monoprice.
Edit: I figured it out.
Thanks dawza. Nice setup, it looks a lot cleaner with the wall jacks. I think I want to do the same.
So yes, you are correct. There are 8 terminated wall jacks around the house that lead up to this home system (my original picture). It looks just like yours except you have your enclosure...
Will this punchdown tool suffice? http://www.amazon.com/Trendnet-TC-PD.../dp/B0000AZK4D
Also I don't have a strip tool to strip the cables, so I'm hoping to pick this up too: http://www.amazon.com/TRENDnet-RJ-45.../dp/B0000AZK4G
Yes the hard part is already done. The cables are already terminated in the rooms into a wall plate.
If I'm terminating to a patch panel on the other end, does it matter what cabling pinouts? Since I'm using patch cables from the panel to the switch, none of the ends are getting RJ45...
Thanks again ch33zw1z.
If i'm using this patch panel: legrand.us/onq/networking/wired-networks/data-modules/363486-01.aspx
and then using patch cables to connect to a switch,
Is there some device that combines the two? That way I can just use the punchdown tool and terminate the wires into...
Argh. I didn't think I needed a new tool for the patch panel. Which is easier? Patch panel or RJ45 connectors on the ends and just directly connect to a switch?
Thanks ch33zw1z.
1. The device is the one given to me by the service provider. I believe it's an "all-in-one" modem and router
2. I think i'm going to go with this network module from On Q: legrand.us/onq/networking/wired-networks/data-modules/363486-01.aspx
3. I thought so. What are...
Sorry, I didn't specify. I'm trying to get all the ethernet wall outlets to have a connection and also expand my wireless network range. The wireless router (no modem, it's DSL) is on the first floor while all the bedrooms are on the second floor. I don't get a good wireless signal upstairs.
Hi there,
I have a On-Q at home but have not used it. I think I found a solution, but wanted to check with you guys to see if this is correct.
Below is my setup:
1. The yellow cat5 cables are not terminated on anything. They are just cut off. It sounds like I need to get this 8-Port...
