![]() ![]() Care was needed to ensure I didn't create dust or get chunks of wall on the hardwood floor. In order to drill the hole required for an exterior PoE camera, it was necessary to cover my work area in plastic and stop regularly to spray where I was drilling. The double-gang box in the office was mounted with Gorilla Tape and two 1 1/2" drywall screws. The wiremold in the office was mounted with the adhesive backing and one 1 1/2" drywall screw for every end of wiremold (2 pieces of wiremould = 4 ends = 4 screws). The wiremold and double-gang box in the baby room was mounted with the adhesive backing and Gorilla Tape only. The WiFi point brackets were mounted with Gorilla Tape and a single 1 1/2" drywall screw. After install, EVERYTHING was thoroughly wiped down and the wet paper towels were double-bagged before diaposal. Wherever drilling or screwdriving took place, the wall area was sprayed with water before and during the work to minimize dust. Any hardware that was able to be mounted without screws was mounted with either Gorilla Clear Mounting Tape or with the adhesive backing that came with the product. The home we're in has a fair amount of lead paint in the walls and trim (and we have a newborn). This install was intended to be as minimally-invasive as possible. IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE HARDWARE AND OLD HOMES: Every device gets 1000 Mbps, with things like storage being the bottleneck never the network.Īll hardware was ordered from a delivery-oriented company, as this install took place during a pandemic.īaby Room Finished (With Camera!) Within my LAN, I'm getting 250-370 Mbps device-to-device via WiFi (with both devices being 5 GHz wireless). I maintain 95-100% of my ISP-allotted bandwidth (a less-than-adequate 200 Mbps/10 Mbps). My cameras are not on the IoT LAN but are also not cloud-connected and no port-forwarding is set up. ![]() Every cloud-connected or WAN-accessible device I own (except for Google Home and Cast devices) is on the IoT LAN/WLAN. The IoT LAN/WLAN is limited to 512 Kbps/512 Kbps. This is via an old $35 Belkin WAP from ≥ 10 years ago. I have a separate LAN/WLAN for IoT devices that runs on a different channel (20 MHz wide) and at 2.4 GHz only. I have 16 devices connected to my LAN via hardwire. I have 9 devices connected to my primary LAN via WiFi. I have had zero issues with this setup, and been very pleased with it's performance. I have included links to the hardware used (with the exception of cameras because they're a dime a dozen). The "wifi point" in our office is using gigabit Ethernet backhaul. The other "wifi point" is in our office with a PoE camera mounted on the exterior side of the same wall (if you have to make holes in your walls, make as few as possible). The "router" is in our baby's room with a PoE camera due to be mounted next to it. ![]() It is worth noting that both this house and our last house are around 100 years old with lath and plaster walls a nightmare for WiFi. I now have two working Google WiFi points. Used by some of the biggest brands and manufacturers in the world so you can be assured it won’t let you down.After some reading and consideration, I decided to try out my old Google WiFi setup (2 Pucks) with PoE splitters and a relatively clean surface-mount setup before moving into our new home. Strong, durable weather and vibration resistant. DOES NOT WORK WITH Google Nest WiFi!! 3M VHB TAPEĪ powerful tape from the biggest name in adhesives.
