The tragedy with the two floors
This means that the area on the first floor with the apartment, office, warehouse and photo studio is superbly connected, but how the heck do I get my data upstairs to the lab and the video studio as quickly as possible? Unfortunately, I can’t run an Ethernet upstairs because I was prohibited from drilling and visibly running cables. Unfortunately, this also affects the outer facade and possible window penetrations, especially since the available flat cable adapters reduce everything down to 100 MBit/s net and less. I let that go again very quickly.
There is now a second, matching FRITZ!Repeater 6000 at the strategically most favorable place (I will come to the counterpart below) and converts everything also again into the “second” Ethernet, because all further devices in the laboratory on the upper floor are almost exclusively connected via a fast switch. Thus, everything boils down to a kind of fast “bridge” from the ground floor to the upper floor, which is technically not a bridge at all, because the mesh still connects all mobile devices. The initial situation of the “old” technology certainly already offered sufficient throughputs for many things, but with available gigabit Internet on the first floor, there is certainly room for improvement. Let’s just count up below what I really need upstairs.
First of all, there are the three benchmark and measurement stations, which depend on a high throughput simply because of all the game installations (and subsequent updates). This is not acceptable below 200 MBit/s, because every update costs work and life time senselessly. In addition, everything should run quite interference-free, because the remote logging of the two oscillographs requires a connection that is as stable as possible without drops and complete dropouts.
The NAS and the PC for radiometric recording hang on the switch’s 10 Gbit/s ports, so you can cleverly avoid bottlenecks with too many processes running simultaneously.
This includes the 3D scanner, whose jobs can take up to 5 days. On the one hand, I now back up and transfer the data redundantly, and on the other hand, I use the option of monitoring the process remotely from the office. By the way, in the picture above and below you can still see my motherboard measurement system, which can capture all rails in real time. I can also transfer the output to the office PC using a network bridge.
Then we also have the video studio above, where the recordings are stored locally on the PC or NAS, but are also needed in the EC on the workstation for video editing. That’s why I now stream the recordings to the editing PC while I’m still recording, because it’s faster and also safer. And there is also the flat-screen TV (not in the picture), which, together with the media receiver, also allows a TV or video break once in a while.
As you can see, there is a lot of data traffic here and the required minimum of 200 MBit/s does not fall into the category of nice surfing, but is a vital prerequisite for a proper workflow. On the next page you will find out how I managed to implement the whole thing on Wi-Fi 6.
