Hey /g/uru's, amateur to Networking here. Wanted to improve

Come on guys, I even got dub dubs.

Help a ni/g//g/a out? Im not trying to steal phones today.

One last sad pathetic bump.

I don't know what "H" is supposed to mean, and depending on how large this house is having two switches is probably overkill

Looks fine. You could just have one switch and run cables to the second floor if you wanna save money. Also you might want to put a wireless AP on the second floor if the WiFi signal isn't too strong.

H for hub.

Just went with two switches to make future upgrades and changes easier. Could just fish a shorter cable up/down one floor instead of having a 100+ft cable go from top to bottom.

Sorry meant to say this

>another 100+ ft

What are you going to use a hub for in 2017?

My advice to you is different from what most of /g/ will tell you.

My advice to you is that you're going through a lot of unnecessary trouble. Just get two Wireless-AC routers and put one in Bridge Mode, and you should be fine. Put anything that requires a wired connection (home server, etc) near the router, and wire it.

Yes, it will probably cost more cash. But, presumably, your time and effort has a real, nonzero value.

Im gonna have some consoles and PC in the Den area.

Maybe I should have opted for a switch?

My first priority is QoS, price being second to that. I wanted the cables to be transmitting optimally and not losing latency.

My time is the least important factor, I wish to be efficient on performance.

Sorry I lied.

Bump.

>Maybe I should have opted for a switch?
You should 110% opt for a switch. Hubs are obsolete and deprecated. Get a switch even if it's a cheapo <$20 thing, pretty much any old dumb switch should manage full Gbit throughput.

This is a shit idea, definitely don't take this sort of advice.

In my house I put every cable in the house leading to the basement. Then I put in a single 8 port switch, connected it to a pfsense router, which then connects to a modem.

Thanks for the suggestion and sorry for the late reply. Was out for a bit.

Hop on ebay and get some grey market Cisco APs. Flash them to autonomous mode.
