Help me set up my first home network

[Che_Guitarra]

I bought my first home recently, and about two weeks out from officially moving in. With my first home comes a need for my first self-constructed network; connecting everything together is easy enough - getting it all operating at maximum potential is another. It's not my niche, so i'm hoping you guys can help.

A summary of parts:
- VDSL2 internet connection.
- TP-Link Archer VR900 AC1900 dual-band modem/router.
- 2012 Mac Mini, used primarily as a Pro Tools production machine. Secondarily used as a home-office computer.
- I also have an external hard drive attached to the Mac Mini, and I would like this HD to be accessible network wide.
- MacBook Pro and iPhone.
- other wifi network attached stuff (TV, security system, robovac, etc).

Wants:
- to make use of the router's dual band capacity.
- just to have a network operating at maximum potential.
- and preferable, but not essential - one network for me and my stuff, another network for household guests.


If anybody can help me to configure this setup to best effect, I would be greatly appreciative.

Rather than re-writing some of the instructions already written, just do some websearches and you may need to get specific with some variables, but you could start here using your own subject:

hi, I think the connection is new that is why there may be the problem in setup configuration so, I would suggest you check on Tenda Support Number for the technical issue related your home network, router, internet, wifi etc.

It could be, but I sure hope they got it working by now as their setup question was from almost three months ago now.
