Consider using a managed switch for security and VLAN support. The USG Modem is likely part of a UniFi setup, so a separate router isn't necessary—it handles firewall functions. For a UniFi network, a US-16-150W switch works well, offering VLAN capabilities, power ports, and enough connections for multiple devices. Only add extra switches if you need high-density areas like a home theater with many devices.

I've linked everything to a single main switch, but would it function as shown in the diagram? Thanks for clarifying—I'm just testing things out. Got an idea from that post: Spoiler

I would eliminate router 1.1 and perform an ALS configuration using a few VLANs.

He seems to be employing a larger amount of gear than necessary for this task
