Preparing for 2025: My Network Rack and Wi-Fi Overhaul

[@ecu8r]

One of the best explained and easily understood videos I've watched lately. Congrats on your new setup it looks wonderful. Your explanations of how and why you made your changes are very insightful and appreciated. You got yourself a new subscriber here.

Great video man! nicely explained

[@mbe102]

Definitely subbed, this is a gold mine! I can't really afford to build out something like this for myself, but theres a lot of interesting ideas and knowledge to gleam from this; so I very much appreciate you sharing and can't wait to see more!

[@TyDaSpace]

@@mbe102 welcome to the family. I have some one network rack build coming for more ideas. Feel free to drop questions or comments and I’ll try to help however i can

[@ILike2Reed2]

Awesome and well thought out updates! Very thorough, in the process of making similar upgrades so this was super helpful. Happy (soon to be) new year!

[@TyDaSpace]

@@ILike2Reed2 thanks for the positive feedback. Keep us posted on how yours goes. Happy to see other people's versions of this. I'll be posting another one I just finished building with my brother soon as well. Its much cooler than mine 😂😂

Nice setup!!

[@mbe102]

Holy moly, @7:09 thats a LOT of wireless devices :o.

[@TyDaSpace]

@@mbe102 hahah. You have a Keen eye sight. Thats only a some of it. 😂😂😂 I had to turn off a bunch of them.

Installing your equipment by a water tank isn’t smart or ideal but it does work

Meh Unifi Everyone using Unifi, the Cisco was a nice change

[@TyDaSpace]

@@ZippyDooDa435 true. I use Cisco all day at work . I got tired of leaving work and returning to work at home. Also Most people don’t care about Cisco. UniFi is what’s trending now so my goal is to help with whatever people want

[@TyDaSpace]

Not sure what you mean. 😁

[@KamenosTheGreek]

Try out some Mikrotik gear, their switch and router is usually better than ubiquiti.

[@TyDaSpace]

I have been looking for alternatives to Unifi. I'll have to look in to Mikrotik maybe for my next upgrade. I am probably one of the minority that is not crazy about Unifi. I got roasted in one of my videos for not kissing Unifi a**. LOL.

[@KamenosTheGreek]

@@TyDaSpace For the average Joe Unifi is a literal god. If you are a little bit more advanced user and you are not a fanboy you go with what is the best performance/price.

[@BLKCreativeStudio]

Im in the process of planning my network, and and I need to plan for at least 10gig access from a NAS (video editing) to my office and maybe 2 other jacks. Maybe, and this is purely secondary, a Unifi UNAS Pro for data backup. What should I keep in mind?

[@TyDaSpace]

@@BLKCreativeStudio is it a home build or business build ? Are you going to be running cables or using existing cables. 10gbps requires at least Cat6 and that has distance limitations so you might want to be using cat6e if you are running new cabling. Also budget is something to consider you could go the slow route or just go all out. I did mine slowly over years and will keep doing that. But I just finished a build for my brother were we went all out. (Video coming soon for that one). Is the NAS going to be purely for editing?

[@Endo4Hunnit]

@@TyDaSpace The only downside with running 10gbps over a copper link is the potential heating issues 10G-base-T SFPs bring. I run 10gbps between a 10GB unifi switch to 3 servers in my house and my desktop using MM fiber and SFP+. No heating issues and fiber isn't too expensive... I bought an old Intel X520 Network adapter for my desktop so it's running fiber directly to it.

[@BLKCreativeStudio]

@ thanks for the response. I should have given more info; I have CAT6 pretty much everywhere in the house (residential project), in my media room/office space I have 6 drops, the main network would be in a closet. Do I connect the NAS to a 10g switch and patch the cables that need that high speed access to that same 10g switch?

[@DavidDotun101]

hey, do you do consultations?

[@TyDaSpace]

@@DavidDotun101. Hey, it depends on what you are looking for. I usually only do consults for SME not typical not home users.
