    Suggestions for lightning protection for Cable Modem?

    Hey all, I've got my home network up and running nicely (thanks to some very helpful guidance from here, btw), but I've run into another question. I have ComCast business internet (12Mbps basic plan), and I'm wondering about the best way to provide solid surge protection on the incoming cable...

    Suggestions for affordable, reliable 48 port gigabit switch?

    Thank you gentlemen (sorry for the late reply - having a pair of toddlers is a sure-fire recipe for terminal projectus-interruptus . . .). I appreciate the helpful advice. I have no problems replacing loud fans with less annoying alternatives, so it seems that, all things considered, the 2x24...

    Suggestions for affordable, reliable 48 port gigabit switch?

    Thanks guys. The idea of a pair of 24-port switches had occurred to me, but I was concerned about the potential bottleneck between the two. Though it would probably be a rare occurrence, if several machines were streaming or communicating with each other at the same time, I could be hindered...

    TP-Link TL-R600VPN? Other VPN router suggestions?

    Thank you, thiggins. I see your point about not needing to necessarily go gigabit on the router (I actually have a gigabit switch downstream of the cable gateway already anyway), since where I live I certainly won't use that input capability anytime soon. Anybody have any thoughts on the...

    TP-Link TL-R600VPN? Other VPN router suggestions?

    Greetings all, New guy here, in search of some feedback/recommendations for a Gigabit VPN router for my home network. Price and on-paper capabilities have kind of drawn me to TP-Link’s new TL-R600VPN offering, but I have so far been totally unable to find any reviews or feedback on it or any...
