    10GbE (10GBASE-T) Switch - Edimax XGS-5008

    As for me the rack mount is better, as i have a 4U portable rack that my network stuff go on. And yes mikrotik is the cheapest on the market for 10Gb/s, ubiquiti has partial SFP+ and 10Gb/s ethernet. This is for full 10Gb/s switches, currently using a 16port SFP+ switch which goes well with my...

    10GbE (10GBASE-T) Switch - Edimax XGS-5008

    Never mentioned mikrotik/ubiquiti, both of them and other brands cater their 10G switches to customers with more money. I remember that both dlink and netgear did recently release 8 port entry level 10Gb/s ethernet switches too.

    10GbE (10GBASE-T) Switch - Edimax XGS-5008

    seems like a lot of barf to clean up :P Its not a compact form factor, even mikrotik and ubiquiti have compact form factors as well to the point where the ports are the size of it. Its a standard form factor switch, likely using an older SoC which requires active cooling. It doesnt have many...

    Implementing 10 Gb link in my home network

    Mikrotik has no problem with that, only learning, so if you change ports about, things like what port connects to router and other switches you will have to reboot the switch. You should enable control flow on the switches (disabled by default), which can help avoid such problems if you...

    Implementing 10 Gb link in my home network

    you dont need to say that something is down in network design. My network design is very simple. Router -> 10Gb/s SFP+ -> SFP+ switch -> bonded 2x SFP+ -> 24 port gb/s switch with 2 SFP+ - ------------------------------- ||| --------------------------Multiple NASes Im using mikrotik all the...

    Netgear CM1100 Modem

    Seems so similar to my netgear modem which is crap. Mine is for VDSL, supports VDSL2 at 300Mb/s but has 100Mb/s ethernet port. The look and design similar too, and the modem had both the worst sync rate compared to 2 other modems and had to be rebooted every 2 months. you're better off with a...

    Great article about WiFi usage for IoT

    POE FTW! Or even powerline.

    Edgerouter 12 vs Mikrotik RB4011

    i think you can adjust it in MT as well. it isnt good to have long timeouts either.

    ASUS or Ubiquiti

    sounds like you dont know enough of networking to use mikrotik if you just learnt about using vlans for LAN isolation.

    Looking for quality home router, not sure about ax, and is netgear safe?

    rotten tomatoes have gotten rotten, they are now corporate shills.

    Cutting the cord...need help on final buy list

    If you are going wireless, its usually a bad idea. Only in some rare situations do wireless actually see better speeds than wired. Cable what you can, if you have devices outside the house and dont want to drill holes for ethernet cables you can use powerline if you have plugs or you can wire...

    Best Router for Packet Priortization

    Same for the majority people in canada and south america :P

    Looking for quality home router, not sure about ax, and is netgear safe?

    netgear is safe, i mean it wont explode :P . When the r7000 was first released it was pretty reliable, i wonder what is it that caused things to fail. Even my consumer netgear gear isnt reliable.

    Recent dual-WAN experience: Asus vs. Cisco vs. Peplink

    but in comparison to peplink, the cisco RV does not do multi WAN as good as peplink. Even mikrotik cant match peplink's multiWAN capability in perfectly balancing things, and they also have far more support than the cisco RV, mikrotik, and asus. I know you use it and love it, but if you're one...

    Best Router for Packet Priortization

    mikrotik or pure linux/unix based gives the highest customisation for QoS in so many ways that goes beyond your imagination but they arent for the light hearted. Consumer routers all differ for their target QoS. A lot of people report high ping with asus but good QoS will put pings to the back...

    Would I benefit from DOCSIS 3.1?

    Interesting. I've never run into this issue before as i compared 3 different modems on VDSL, one of which had 100Mb/s ethernet but was compatible with 300Mb/s VDSL2. If the modem is topping out in performance/bottleneck somewhere it would bufferbloat. This could be the CPU or internal bus for...

    ASUS or Ubiquiti

    If you read my posts above, take a look at the higher end spectrum of ASUS routers, starting with the AC3100/88U and newer as they all have wifi based QoS and hardware acceleration for it with a different architecture too so the link between CPU and switch wont be a problem if 1Gb/s WAN is fully...

    Help networking a school

    Ubiquiti doesnt require the controller software to function, it is optional. They are usually trying to sell their bundle which isnt a good deal especially if you need internet speed. The controller is like an enterprise based SNMP management software if you've ever used one before like...

    Draytek 2862 or Cisco RV260P

    I could say the same about mikrotik. The important question is how do they fare when you start using more features lots, stuff like QoS with configurable firewall, VPN, RADIUS/hotspot,... With mikrotik this featureset is huge but i use it as much as possible and have never needed a restart bar...
