Hi All,
first post here.
My home network consists of the following:
1 x 24 port Unifi switch
1 x 8 port Unifi switch
Pihole using DOH
PfSense as the router and firewall
Linux host with Unifi controller
One main LAN, IOT and Guest portal using VLAN in the switches ports and PfSense configuration.
I have 3 x Chromecasts (2 x LAN and 1 x Wifi)
I have some other smart devices like TP-link Kasa light bulbs etc.
So I'm running all my IOT:s in a separate IOT network using VLAN.
I have just ordered 3 x Aruba IAP-305 aps and POE-adapters for them.
Reason for replacing my Unifi AP:s is that even though I like Unifi for its software and stuff.. they just seems to be struggling when it comes to pushing out firmwares and software updates. The users seems to be beta testing their equipment.
The Unifi AP:s I was using (still using them as I'm writing this), they had problems getting IP-address from the DHCP server(PfSense) etc.
My questions if someone would like to answer them I would appreciate it:
- I assume I can run the IAP-305 in my current system.. replacing the Unifi AP:s with the IAP-305 without any problems?
- Will Aruba work with Unifi Switches?
- uPnP and DLNA, I probably need to allow this for my IOT:s like chromecast to be able to communicate with my main LAN devices from the IOT network?
- Is there something I need to take in to consideration when setting up the IAP-305? Totally new to Aruba stuff.. like DTIM, currently using 3 as the Apple devices seems to be roaming form the 2.4Ghz to the 5Ghz if I use DTIM 1
Thanks.
