Now, it's time to segment my network into a homelab network, a network
for IoT devices, and maybe a guest network.
I've never played around with UniFi stuff not sure if I can just use the APs on their own or if I need a cloudkey or some other controller.
I ordered an LG 34" ultrawide monitor and a nice 60% mechanical
I'd like to get some APs that'll support vlans and multiple SSIDs so I can have a guest network and a wireless IoT network as well. I was looking at some Ubiquiti UniFi APs that would do the job, just not sure if I want to do WiFi Lite or Pro.

I looked at Ubiquity stuff, but it was considerably more expensive.
I'm really happy with the Mikrotik's. You probably need to know what you are doing, since they are not that user friendly - but I can VLAN,
Hotspot login (to keep my son at bay), VPN, IPv4/IPv6, firewall, Nat,
etc so worthy of a recommendation.
I also bought a small HAP ac2, which I take in the caravan when we go camping. It hooks up to the small NAS I take (with plex for the kids),
and we talk to it over 5Ghz, and it talks to the camp grounds WIFI on
2.4 for internet.
That's kind of a neat idea. We're toying with the idea of getting a trailer, not sure if we'll be towing it around or leaving it at a
campground as of yet, but I'm sure I'll be looking to get connectivity to that once we pull the trigger.
What do you use for the NAS? I have a 5 disk one at home, but wouldn't want to lug that beast around.

I'm learning a side-to-side move, like a boxer. :)

You'll need it! I personally find that 23-24" is big enough!

34" is nice, as it's an ultra-wide monitor - it's not too tall. I wear
full-screen.
I do now need to find new 2560x1080 wallpapers now. :)
