Networking

Network hardware is specified by users, coverage and port speed rather than looks. Routers need WAN and LAN port counts and speed, network switches the port count, managed or unmanaged, and whether power over Ethernet is required. Wi-Fi access points are chosen by coverage area, Wi-Fi generation and mounting, and network cables by category, length and shielding. Share the floor area and device count, and leave configuration to a qualified network engineer.
