I've been learning more about #networking this weekend with my #ubiquiti #unifi devices. #VLAN almost makes sense 🥴

I'm still struggling with how to put my #proxmox server onto one VLAN along with a few VMs that will operate on the internal network, and put the other VMs on a separate VLAN. I have two NICs so I can segregate the traffic at the physical switch.

It seems like I need to install some software on ProxMox to have a virtual switch.

But I keep getting tripped up on the Unifi side.

🤔

Well, this was a surprise. Decided to run a simple LAN ping test between two of my access points, and the results were not what I expected.

Contender 1: The "mighty" Ubiquiti UniFi AC Lite
Contender 2: The tiny MikroTik mAP Lite

The winner? By a long shot, the MikroTik! It showed much better stability and lower latency.

The Stats:

- MikroTik: Avg 8.2ms / Jitter 10ms

- Ubiquiti: Avg 15.4ms / Jitter 32.1ms

Goes to show that size isn't everything in the world of networking.
