• interesting, may have to look into that. I really should take some photos of my setup, I have;

    In cupboard upstairs
    1 x Router
    1 x 48 port switch
    1 x 8 port POE switch (powers the on ceiling access points)
    1 X master sky q box which links via cat6 to TV in lounge
    1 x mini sky q box which links to master bedroom via cat 6
    1 x mini sky q box which links to 2 x bedrooms, kitchen and office, via cat 6 and special splitter
    4 x mini amps, each with a hardwired chromecast audio, each linking to a different room in the house via hardwired speaker cable

    Then in my office I have a qnap 4 bay NAs with 32tb of storage, linked to a mac mini which works as my plex server.

    Then dotted through the house are 3 x google home mini and one standard Google Home. Also have 2 x Nests, one controls hot water & middle floor, the other controls ground floor underfloor heating and loft room heating.

    Smart lighting and switches are next on my list...

  • That's a hell of a lot of ports.

    I chose to terminate the Sky boxes, they don't give you control over the DNS resolvers and I wanted to just get the Sky box in bridge mode except they don't permit that either. So instead I just replaced all of their hardware.

  • Yes, Sky is definitely the leaky part, will have to look into that at some point.

    unbeleively I don't have enough ports on my switches... my patch has 60 live ports....
