wosv Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I am a brand new Control4 dealer, haven't installed any products yet. My first products should arrive tomorrow. Trying to figure out what networking products I am going to use. Trying to standardize my equipment from the get go. So after a couple of hours of reading thru posts I have decided to use:Linksys WRVS4400n wireless routerLinkys WAP4400n WAPNot sure on the switch though. Looking for probably 2 options. probably a 8 port POE switch, and a 16 or 24 port POE for larger jobs. I would like to find one that is rack mountable. Not sure how many are, as I haven't seen any info on rack mountable on mfg websitesBut after reading thru the forums I it should likes these are good ones.Netgear FS116PNA (16 port/8 POE) $250Procurve switch1800 (they have a 8 and 24 port) $150/$400 I read this was good but not POE. Any issues using either switch with the above router? Should I be looking at smething else. Not necessarily looking to go cheap, but budgets are always something to be concious of. Thinking of something in the few hundred dollar range. I tried to find info before posting, but other data was rather old, or I didn't find it.Thanks for help.

henniae Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I have used the Netgear switches a lot and have not had problems. Some people will swear by the Dell switches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodeman Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Use a standalone router and separate AP. We like the Cisco RVS042 router, and Dell PowerEdge switches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
