  • Welcome back to Ultimate Tech Hub, on today's episode of Home Networking 101 we will add 4 networking devices to our residential network box and mount a wireless router above the box. We will use a bracket from Legrand ON-q to help with installation of these network devices. We will show you organizational techniques and wire management. We will also go over all the devices in our network box and explain what each one does. These devices are not the typical hardware you would see in many homes. Our home is an Amazon Smart Home and a Lennar Certified WIFI home. Our residential network box is the ON-q ENP3050-NA Plastic Media Enclosure and we used the ON-q AC1040 Universal Mounting Bracket to install 3 of our networking devices.( Modem, Western Digital Cloud, 8-Port Switch) We hope by showing you these smart home devices that it will give you some ideas to implement in your home. Remember if you have any questions leave them in the comments section down below. And as usual give a thumbs up and share this video. And of course, subscribe to the Ultimate Tech Hub its completely free! Thank you for watching! As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualified purchases.

    I think that the reason the holes didn't line up is because you need to rotate the plate 90 degrees. Then the plates in the Universal Mounting Plate should line up with the normal plunger holes in the back of the enclosure (the holes you are using were intended for mounting the enclosure to a wall, not for mounting that plate).

    • @UltimateTechHub
      @UltimateTechHub  3 роки тому +1

      Yes that's probably why, however I needed more vertical space for my devices. It worked out well but thank you for the great comment.

  • @MartesWigglesworth
    @MartesWigglesworth 3 роки тому +3

    @Ultimate Tech Hub I apologize if someone has already mentioned this topic, however, the reason that you needed to drill extra holes is because you were mounting the plate in "portrait" orientation whereas it is designed to be mounted in "landscaped" orientation. You can actually see that there is about an inch or two on either side of the vertically mounted bracket and you can almost picture the holes lining up during installation, if it had been mounted horizontally, or "landscape" oriented as I mentioned previously. But great job on the clean install.

    • @UltimateTechHub
      @UltimateTechHub  3 роки тому +1

      Yes someone already mentioned the bracket going the other way but in my Network Panel it wouldn't t fit that way the panel is not wide enough. Maybe the bracelet is for a different panel. If you get s chance watch a more recent video to see the even better improvements to the panel. I added backup power and rewired the entire Network Panel. Thank you for watching I really appreciate it.

    Nice job on your cable management. I will suggest eliminating the POE injector for the ring camera and going straight to the Ruckus Switch. To avoid an extra point of failure . It looks to me thats an Ruckus 7150-C12P, if yes the switch is POE+ and can power the ring camera. 👌

    I have one of these boxes in my laundry room IMO it's better to install a traditional network rack. You will outgrow these boxes pretty quickly especially if you want to install standard rack gear. I plan on moving all of my structured wiring to a standard rack which I will hang in the garage.

    I didn't see it mentioned yet but also it's not great practice to cut a large hole in your sheet rock to push wires through and leave open. You should use grommets and other ways to seal whenever possible. Large open penetrations let all the conditioned air out of the house (unnecessary conditioning costs and makes your house very "leaky") not to mention any bugs etc that are in the attic and other unsealed areas into the house.

    Love the video. I'm thinking of doing something similar. However, instead of a router that has to fit outside the box, I'm going to use unifi usg going into unifi poe switch and my ont will have to fit in there. I'm going to use ceiling and wall mount unifi ap's powered by poe for wireless throughout. I'm going to add coax routing for the home in my box. Then at each location where I will have tv's i'm going to use poe powered unifi mini switches behind a small media box behind the tvs.

    Looks nice when done but really not a practical set up if you have to work inside the panel. As one who commonly has to work in these, I can say I have never seen one that is sized large enough. That’s why they are so often a mess with things dangling from cords, cover won’t fit on etc. What would be better? A large ventilated cabinet mounted on the wall, not in the wall, with shelves and removable panels for easy access to everything.

      I have a large white plastic piece that has 4 custom holes and is screwed into the panel and I also used long Velcro straps to secure the icx switch to that plastic piece. Here is a video that shows the icx install great detail. You might want to fast forward to the middle of the video unless you want to watch my UPS install. ua-cam.com/video/9kGISAgdjMA/v-deo.html

    so what happens when the people that built your house decide to run all of your catv coax, all of your alarm triggers, and 32 ethernet cables in one tiny wall network panel? i wish i could find these guys in a back alley. to make it worse, they mounted alarm boxes, control keypads and electric outlets in the same wall bay. i'm literally screwed unless someone can think of a way to get the ethernet cables out somehow.

    • @UltimateTechHub
      @UltimateTechHub  Рік тому

      You could call a low voltage installer and see if he can rerun the ethernet to a different closet in your house. You can purchase a larger network panel to install in the wall. Probably need to hire an electrician to add some outlets to the panel.

    Important to protect wires as they pass through the punch out holes using the plastic grommets - especially how you pushed the extra cable length back inside wall. No reason to put big NAS inside cabinet - in will survive longer and perform better close to one of the computer terminals. If you still can’t fit wireless router inside that media enclosure then better off getting a second box and mount above the existing one. You’ve mounted that router halfway inside your hanging shirts. The cabinet uses a plastic that’s completely transparent to WiFi signals so no reason to surface mount like to did. And running power cables bare inside the wall violates the general electrical code - only data cables can be routed that way. Best solution is to get a much smaller footprint mesh router - besides easily fitting you’ll get better speed, better coverage and improved security in a smart home environment. This is an amateur job - it takes years of learning and experience to to this correctly. UA-cam videos can be a poor substitute for professional advice
