Building Home Network Suggestions ?

[Durvelle27]

I'm an idiot when it comes to networking so I don't really understand why I would need a server.

My plan is to just have of sense running off this dell blade mainly for my wife's sake (she earns the money and uses an online platform) then connect to a switch, which will connect my pc, the Nas, a Poe switch for cameras and a wireless access point.

The details I'll work out as I go along my only fear is the instability of the power grid here so some form of smart ups which will allow me to shutdown and startup everything with a power outage is what I really need to research and understand.

Any standard ups should do that as long as it has the sufficient power

I’m using a 1320W for the server, modem, router, and Aps

and the second 1320W for my desktop

Sorry I meant to automatically power down systems at say 50%battery then restart when the power returns. I know most decent Ups's can do this via the com port but it's my lacking knowledge on it I'm more worried about.
So I'm going to need to learn a complete new skillset as I've never done any actual networking past basic stuff.
For now it's all on hold till I get my Nas sorted as the idea of a server rack scares my wife so I need to let the proposal mull for some time until I either give her too many pros to dismiss or she takes it as her own idea and calls me stupid for not suggesting it earlier.

The ones I have can have protocols set that will have that but you have to console in and have the proper software that will allow

ehh my wife hates it especially the server as it sounds like a jet but ehh I’m still going to do me

I've already ordered it "better to ask forgiveness than permission" I'm hoping.

I'll do some tests with it first as it's been a long time since I've played with linux and I still haven't gone shopping the computer markets to see if I can find some sort of OEM GE Ryzen chip for my Nas. If I do ok with it all I might buy a more modern server as a Christmas present to myself something to run VMs on.

It's been quite awhile but I was finally able to get my full house wired and setup

So the route I went is

BD1 3 CAT6
BD2 2 CAT5E
BD3 CAT5E
Living 3 CAT6
Office 3 CAT6

Ubiquiti WIFI 6 APs on each side of house

All going to a closest with a Server Rack into a Patch Panel

This is from my PC in the office

I haven’t got the Pc I built to use as a router up yet. Kinda debating if it’s worth it or not

Forgot to update this thread but this is how my rack looks

It Goes

Comcast Modem > Patch Panel > Switch > Server > APs
