Hi,
My current network uses a hAP AC as the main router, with bridge to the internal LAN, and L3 link to a separate LTE router. The HAP handles all local connections both Ethernet and wireless, and mounted centrally it provides good enough wireless everywhere we need it.
The problem is that I’m running out of interfaces as a result of recent changes. Most interfaces will be bridged to the main internal LAN, but I will have three routed interfaces on separate subnets. I want to keep to as few bits of equipment as possible, so I’m looking to replace the HAP AC. As well as more Ethernet interfaces I need the new device to provide similar wireless performance, and to have enough processing power to handle 100meg Internet which is the fastest I can imagine we’d ever be able to get.
Any comments on the RB4011 for this application? Looking at the block diagram I’d put the majority of straight bridged ports onto ether1 to ether5 so they’re on the same switch, then the routed ports or low performance connections on 6 to 10.
Disadvantages that I can see are (1) no USB port which scuppers my vague plan of using Pihole and (2) it seems unclear whether it’s PoE could power my SXT-LTE.
Any comments welcome, Tony S
