Home network setup with a lot of cat6 hardwired network drops and wireless I'm building a new house. I have cat6 running a lot of places. I want wireless to cover the house as well for guests/iPads/etc.
The network setup is confusing me but it should be simple.
I have:
- Cat6 running to all hardwired ports. 31 total drops coming into one central location
- Two NetGear 24 port non-managed switches
- a motorola DSL modem for WAN connection
- a Mikrotik wireless b/g/n router with one ethernet port
Is this as simple as DSL->switch 1 and switch 1->switch 2 and switch 1->wireless or do I need an actual router that sits between the DSL and the switches/wireless?
