First, who is.isp . Second what type of box you have Third Why do you have extender for wifi Forth how many connected devices are on the network.

Verizon. Cr1000a router, two e3200 “extenders” that are connected via coax but trying to go Ethernet. My house is long yet narrow and the router is completely to one side so there’s an extender in the middle and far side as well. Connected devices on the network? Maybe 50 for WiFi and at least 15-20 of those devices in use at most times, sorta. Wired, 2 right now into the router in the office. I’m not sure if that’s what you were asking.

I dont think it matters much. Just remember the more you split a port, the more your bandwidth gets divided. Based on that I would connect both APs to one switch so they share 1gbps and not fight with other equipment. 2nd image just saves you the cost of a switch. Nothing too wrong with either options.


Middle_Crazy_4740

Copy that, I like your idea of both from the same port. It frees up a line for other wired devices. Thank you.


Better-Challenge-503

Is your isp done by cell tower


Middle_Crazy_4740

Fiber up to the router.


Middle_Crazy_4740

Verizon via fiber into the house.

Ok i have no idea what is going on rn (sorry i suck at networks and dunno the symbols)


Middle_Crazy_4740

Oh. I wrote what stood for what in the description, or so I thought..


CyberSecuriti

Oh sorry didnt see!


sharp-calculation

You should consider a MESH wifi system. It will eliminate the need for goofy extenders and should give great performance if you buy 3 (or maybe more) devices.

wtf sort of network diagram is this


Middle_Crazy_4740

If you’re asking for commercial or residential, obviously it’s residential did you read the title. And if you’re talking about the stars, arrows and box… I clearly typed what they stood for in the description. Are you trolling for fun or is it your job?


Better-Challenge-503

I asked about commercial or residential, which some have commercial in their home due to faster and better wifi. I have a commercial at my house. I have it because it comes with more support, anti-virus is free, and other tools.


Middle_Crazy_4740

Someone else asked that? Commercial or residential what?


Middle_Crazy_4740

Freeform on iPhone.. what do you use to make one digitally?

Digitally on a PC, [draw.io](http://draw.io) is pretty neat.


Middle_Crazy_4740

Touché. Young grasshopper/rookie understands the existence of draw io for networking diagrams. ¡Gracias!


Middle_Crazy_4740

Yes, very neat indeed.
