Working a home I recently had a scare where my wifi router took yanked us all offline for several hours. Work time lost, school quizzes nearly missed, etc... Did I mention I have two teenagers at home all day?
So now in the #workfromhome
world how does one build a level of redundancy in our home network. If there is a router failure, I don't want to have to wait days until I try to revive it or decide to go buy another one.
I don't want to buy another router and have it sit idle until it is obsolete technology or is needed, I want to keep the connection alive when one router fails. Just like I have set up my computers with mirror drives so when one fails I keep going on one disk until I replace.
So how do you build a redundant home network capable of keeping us connected? Or does it always come down to one device controlling everything?
I know a lot about PCs and very little about networks. I have 2 hard wired PCs, 1 wired NAS, and about 14 other wireless gizmos. I gave an AC3000 mesh router with 1 satellite (although I don't know what that spec means). My pipeline is a coaxial cable attached to a cable modem serving out 1 ethernet connection.
