Network Infrastructure
Overview
My home network is powered by UniFi equipment, providing seamless connectivity throughout the house. I've implemented segmented VLANs for guests, IoT devices, and lab environments, ensuring both performance and security.
Key Features
- Whole-home WiFi coverage with multiple access points
- Guest network isolation for visitor devices
- IoT device separation from main network
- Lab environment segmentation for testing
- Centralized network management
- Network monitoring and analytics
Architecture
The network uses a main router/firewall at the edge, with managed switches throughout the property. Each area has dedicated access points for optimal coverage. Devices are separated into logical groups using VLANs for security and performance isolation.
What It Enables
- Secure remote access to lab services
- Network-wide ad blocking via DNS
- IoT device isolation from personal devices
- Guest WiFi with internet-only access
- Quality of service for critical applications
- Detailed network analytics and insights
