1 year agoI recommend a managed switch to place devices into VLANs (IoT, cameras, PCs, etc).
I use the TP-Link Omada infrastructure at home.
I have to second u/RedFive1976 about the importance of outdoor-rated fiber between structures, especially if the unshielded Ethernet cable is parallel to the power line running out to the barn. The elimination of EMI-related attenuation alone makes the switch worth it.
