AV Network Best Practices (Managed Switch Network Infrastructure)

“The network is the foundation of a reliable system.”

Best Practice’s AV Network

Building the Infrastructure: (Multiple Configurations)

This is assuming understanding of network configurations

Android/Google TV and Sonos are Used as Examples

Recommended “Best”: (Managed Switch)

  • Layer 3 Router – Behind Configured ISP Router or ISP/Consumer Purchased Modem
  • Layer 3 Managed Switch – Behind LAN Layer 3 Router
  • Non-Blocking and Full-Duplex Layer 2 Unmanaged Switch(s) – Cascading from Layer 3 Managed Switch
  • Multiple APs or Single AP – Behind Layer 3 Managed Switch
  • Option 1: All “Like” Protocols or Devices on Same Switch. (See Below)
    • All Google TVs Wired to One Switch
    • All Sonos Devices Wired to One Switch

  • Option 2: Multi “Like” Protocols or Devices can Share the Same Switch. (See Below)
    • All Google TVs Wired to Same Switch and Sonos Devices

  • Option 3: If you are using Sonos, make sure (1) is Wired and the rest can be Wireless (See Below)
    • Make Sure the APs are All on the Same Switch (This Diagram is using the POE of the Managed Switch) (See Below)

  • Option 4: Google TVs in this Configuration can All be on Wi-Fi, Sonos will still need (1) Wired Connection (See Below)
    • Make Sure the APs are All on the Same Switch (This Diagram is using the POE of the Managed Switch) (See Below)
