Hi, here is an update on my lab after moving to The Netherlands.

Networking

Here is the description and some details of my network:

• Mikrotik hEX RB750Gr3:
  I stick to Mikrotik as my main router. I feel very comfortable with this brand regarding price/quality and management console/interface. This is my network gateway. Here I have all my firewall rules.

• Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 24 Lite (Access Network):
  This was a donation from a company one of my friends works for. They closed their office and donated a lot of stuff to the people. I managed to get this as an upgrade to my access switch for all my devices.

• Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch 16 XG (Core Network 10GB):
  As with the EdgeSwitch 24 Lite, I also managed to get this one for free for my core network switch.

• Unifi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus:
  This device is the main appliance that holds the Unifi network (Wi-Fi mesh) and the Unifi Protect (camera security system).

  Multiple AC Pro units to cover Wi-Fi in the house.
