I had a setup where my modem was connected to my gateway Linux box which did routing, DHCP, DNS, etc. and was also connected to a switch which was connected to a WiFi router being used as an access point. This is too brittle for my tastes, as other members of my family can’t resolve problems with it.
Something went wrong so I have temporarily reconfigured it so the WiFi router is connected directly to the modem, but this doesn’t let the WiFi clients connect to the Linux boxes or other hard-wired machines or let them connect to the internet. (I could connect the other devices to the router, but for WiFi propagation reasons, the WiFi router is far away from all the other devices, so this is not ideal.)
So I was thinking of getting a https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=27_1046_363&item_id=… router and connecting to that the Linux box (which would still do DHCP (possibly) and DNS, the router configured back as an access point (or a POE access point such as https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=27_1056_356&item_id=…, as well as the other wired devices.
Thoughts?

# Round Table Q&A Session
====
A Round Table Q&A Session is where we take questions from the audience, and the audience discusses and attempts to answer those questions from their own knowledge. It's a great way to meet fellow members of our community and discover the skill sets we each bring to the table.
There will be no video recording during the session.
