Which Mikrotik equipment to choose?

Question

Mikrotik

Hello.

I need technical assistance with the selection of Mikrotik equipment (other vendors are possible, but it is preferred) and descriptions of the technologies that need to be used for the scenario described below. I'm planning on remodeling my home and want to replace the entire LAN with new hardware that suits my needs (plus upgrade my networking skills when I set it up). The new network diagram looks like this:

Internet
|
Switch-1 (1Gbps, Wi-Fi?) == (bridge?) NAS
|| (bridge?)
Router (1Gbps, Wi-Fi) → TV-1, PC-1, PC-2
|| (bridge?)
Switchboard-2 (1 Gbit/s) → TV-2, PC-2, Notebook
Designation (bridge?) describes aggregated channels.

Questions:
1. Are Mikrotik switches and routers able to aggregate links to increase throughput? What is the name of this technology, what level of license is required to activate it?
2. What technology can be used to restrict access to the NAS only from local PCs and TVs so that it is not visible from the Internet provider? VLAN?
3. To organize access to the Internet on the router, do I need to configure routing on Switch-1?
4. Help me choose equipment for this scheme. It is desirable that Switch-1 could also act as a Wi-Fi access point, but this is not critical. Internet

network option | Router → NAS, TV-1, PC-1, PC-2 | Switchboard → TV-2, PC-2, Notebook
physically very inconvenient to implement.

With respect to all.

Answer 1

Take an 8 port mic router with wifi and plug everything into it. What for to fence a kitchen garden from switches?
Where you need to duplicate the wifi - put the mic 951 series

Answer 2

1. VLAN is a logical division of networks. For example, so that PC2 does not see the NAS or, as an option, for the guest network. They gave the guests a password from the network, but they do not have access to any resources. For the home, it is completely unnecessary and difficult.
2. The cost of a cable bundle with overhead sockets and installation will be cheaper than a bunch of equipment
3. In addition to the equipment to be connected, it is necessary to determine the tasks that this equipment solves.
Actually, here are the questions:
1. The area of ​​​​the apartment
2. If the router is put ... for example, in a closet, in the hallway, how many monolithic walls will there be to the farthest point where wi-fi is planned to be used
3. What is a NAS and what is it used for? Just a file cleaner? Will it have 4k content to play on TV. Will 4k be watched simultaneously on two TVs? Is it used in work, as asked above? For example for video rendering. What disks are in it.

Answer 3

If it is possible to do it from scratch, everything is simple:
- Where you can lay a cable instead of WiFi - do it.
- Where you spent one cable - spend two!
- Server room away from the bedroom
- Anything that can flash OpenWRT is suitable for the entrance. (There you have protection, and balancing and whistles for every taste). And then a gigabit switch (or even 10 if the cable is cat6).

Answer 4

I would take another supplier.
For example tacos: https://www.ui.com/
I’ll add from personal experience that where Ubiks just work and don’t complain...
Mikrotik can get very addicted and work out...

Answer 5

I did not quite understand why the requirements include channel aggregation. Firstly, in household network cards, including interior ones, aggregation is not allowed by firewood. There is simply no functionality, even if you plug in a couple of network cards. It is necessary to look for server setevukha. For nas, yes, you can do aggregation, they now have almost all 2 network cards and allow you to do this. Secondly, it is not clear that in the home network it will generate so much traffic to scoop up the entire bandwidth of two 2 Gbit channels. In my office, a shelf is connected to a server through a distortion
the aggregated channel in 2 gigabits through 3750 tsiska. On the database server, there is a guarantor, a consultant, a code, a bunch of users, and there has never been a 2gb server link that was utilized to the state of exceeding 1 GB. There are rare peaks up to one and a half gigabits. And then - at home and channel aggregation? What for? What kind of traffic will be that there will not be enough gigabit? At the very house I look at the tip on a 3D TV, and films on my computer. Even a 40 GB avatar with a good bitrate of 38 Mbps of the total stream speed gives a utilization of 100 Mbps of the link at a strength of 45%. I don’t dissuade, it’s just really interesting what to do with even gigabit at home, not to mention a couple in aggregation
