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.
