Commenting just to echo this: Wave9 have been a complete breath of fresh air for us after a very bad experience with ANother broadband supplier for the past two or three years. We've had no issues at all on project, implementation, or support. Highly recommend them!!

Have you checked out 'Trello'? It can be tied to your calendar and email system so that you get alerts!

We used Meraki for some time and recently moved to Zyxel. Awesome kit - very fast, easy to manage, good price, and cloud console license ("Nebula") comes built in for most of the features you would need to manage. Highly recommend (we even moved our switching to Zyxel).

1. Contact the ISP and ask them if they know how the two networks are configured - sometimes they are asked to route between subnets or physical networks. If so, it might be best to ask for that to be abandoned so that you can 'flatten' your network structure and have your VoIP handsets placed onto 'Port 1'. Once on Port 1, and so long as the VoIP provider agrees (see 2), your handsets should get their IP from your DHCP server and you will be able to utilise the 'remote' network cables etc. 2. I would contact the VoIP provider and ask them to enable DHCP for the handsets (this is normally very easy to do centrally). 3. You don't 'need' VLANS for your network - but it's sometimes nice to get the extra security and other features it would afford. Keep it simple right now, though: flatten things, get your VoIP handsets assigned IPs with DHCP, and make sure you can use the whole network and its infrastructure. Tweak and secure later. Unmanaged switches aren't great for this, and that's probably why they opted to segregate the LAN using the Huawei router. They will need to spend some money for a managed switch with the required features if they want to utilise VLANs at a future date. Like I said, for now, make things easy on yourself... 4. I would do this over the coming half term (or better, the summer)! Good luck!!!

We have just adopted Datto. It's very good and has lots of scope for scaling up and out. I would talk to someone at Diacom and have them talk to you about it.
