Frustrated with having everything in just one router?
Frustrated with having everything in just one router?
You've purchased a new home and are using Fixed Wireless internet with your all-in-one Linksys EA6300. With your home Plex server, it seems you may need an upgrade. You're considering adding a Ubiquiti WAP and Switch, but you're unsure if a router is necessary or if connecting your modem directly to the switch would suffice for IP management. This advice is especially relevant for someone in the States. Let me know if you'd like more details!
Purchase a simple wired router, such as an Ubiquiti Edge Router.
The Ubiquiti Unifi series works well when you prefer avoiding a single all-in-one solution like an 8-port or higher PoE switch for APs or multiple devices. Many clients choose this approach for strong performance. Adding a Unifi USG enhances routing and provides a solid hardware firewall, all within the same product line. Setup is straightforward, and these products are readily accessible in the US market. Good luck!
It's unclear if the issue stems from failing capacitors in the router or power supply unit instead of overheating. The problem seems unrelated to past performance, as it hasn't been happening before.
