Homelab Network Setup

This is the network design guide you wish you'd had before buying hardware. It walks you through separating gateway, switch, and access point roles, picking IP ranges that won't collide with VPNs, setting DHCP reservations for anything you SSH into, and avoiding the classic mistake of running multiple DHCP servers because you turned an old router into an AP. The advice is opinionated in a good way: use home.arpa for local DNS, avoid 192.168.1.0/24, reserve low IPs for infrastructure, and pick a gateway that matches your skill level. It's aimed at people outgrowing their ISP router or planning a homelab that can scale to VLANs later without a full teardown.
