Τι είναι το FRITZ!Mesh 4200 και πότε το χρειάζεσαι σίγουρα

Αν έχεις μεγάλο σπίτι, πολυώροφη βίλα, παχιά τοιχώματα ή πολλές ταυτόχρονες συσκευές, το FRITZ!Mesh 4200 είναι ακριβώς η λύση που χρειάζεσαι: Wi‑Fi 6 tri‑band, ενιαίο δίκτυο, seamless roaming, ενσύρματο/ασύρματο backhaul και προηγμένες λειτουργίες FRITZ!. Η εγκατάσταση μέσω της MyFRITZ!App είναι απλή και το σύστημα κλιμακώνεται εύκολα καθώς προσθέτεις περισσότερους κόμβους

Current network:
DSL (FTTC) -> ISP Router (Vodafone) -> USG -> LAN

Fibre networking options:
ONT -> Fritz!Box -> USG -> LAN
or
ONT -> Fritz!Box -> LAN
or
Some other setup?

Where the LAN has one subnet, runs on Netgear switches and a Unifi AP-Lite. Having played a little with Fritz!Box it’s quite possible I could get rid of the Unifi bits altogether as its WiFi seems good enough.

I am just curious for all you folks that run home computer labs. How do y'all handle DNS? I use dnsmasq because it is pretty powerful and does dynamic DNS automagically.

It's still a *little* jank, but I assure you it's much cleaner and professional-looking than before. All it took was some rack rails, 3D-printing, and a little ingenuity. 😁
