My fellow redditors,

I must admit I'm on the dangerous side of dunning Kruger so....

I'm wanting to go to scratch.

Location: Australia (so please don't tell me to go to best buy, I know I'm getting ripped off)

Aus runs it's end of financial year NOW so the sales are on. I've been eying off a ROG Wifi7 routher (Rapture GT-BE98) with 2x 10gbe HOWEVER...

I want to do the following:

  1. VLan for my IOT in the house that need exposure to internet (Alexa etc)
  2. Home assistant to be as self hosted as possible for latency issues
  3. Access to NAS remotely (currently asustor, but may go to Qnap in Future).

Also on cards:

  1. 10gbe between workstation and NAS as I wrangle giga/terabytes of data for PhD work.... Is there any downside to going JUST copper vs sexy fibre?
  2. Replacing my eufy wireless security with a POE.. reolink or hkvision?

Edit: have also some other spare routers including a glnet beryl that can run wwrt

Questions:

  1. will the Asus Rapture GT-BE98 be suitable for vLAN
  2. Will I need managed switches, and if so what will need me NOT to do a PhD to get it running SAFELY without exposing everything to the Wild?

Thanks all.
