    Best Router for Packet Priortization

    even 1 Gb/s needs QoS too. The difference between B and A+ on dslreports matter even if you're 1 guy just doing one thing. Good QoS lets you do interesting things. The hardware NICs dont properly support multi queue so before the packets get into the queue you can rearrange them so the latency...

    WireGuard worth the risk ?

    only public ones, but many who use it create private tunnels. For example lets say you know someone over the internet, you could from a tunnel with that guy say from china using wireguard so that guy can bypass the country's restrictions and monitoring. Wireguard isnt that hardly used, just that...

    WireGuard worth the risk ?

    more than that, its not mainstream so no one bothers to block it when blocking all VPNs. Better in a few ways, openVPN is already blocked in some places, wireguard isnt. Less arrogant support means if theres something you cannot solve, you will get an answer rather than "do it their way" Because...

    WireGuard worth the risk ?

    not even Tor as most nodes on Tor networks are government/intelligence owned, a weakness of Tor. You also cant pick your nodes on Tor. You can pick your nodes with VPN and proxies. I did not say they are fully anonymous either but lets say you are doing espionage, and you want to hide yourself...

    WireGuard worth the risk ?

    not distilled enough :P . A VPN does not fully protect you, as you still have your browser, which is why a proxy is needed. If you use a proxy, you can go with SSL to have a secure line, but irregardless of VPN or proxy, the server will always be visible to your ISP meaning that your ISP knows...

    Best Router for Packet Priortization

    i just want to point out that irregardless of internet speeds, you need QoS, as it can significantly improve things, such as your score on dslreports and experience when you have a lot of people or applications using it at once.

    Looking for a simple NAS HD

    WD and seagate are the major ones in market for low end NAS that uses entry level ARM CPUs. there are pleny of options, so many infact that it depends on your skill level. I've seen some ARM boards that include the samsung exynos dual quad cores with sata and USB that it can be a simple basic...

    Cisco RV260 vs RV340 Routers

    ah, usb-c is getting common and lack of an ethernet port. We live in the age of dongles, both dongles i have work terribly on a network of tp link dumb switches and routers, but work well on my own network of mikrotik and asus (as switch/wifi)

    router help needed

    Neither routers are good for the task, get yourself an inexpensive embedded machine or even the raspberry pi is a good contender as you have far more flexibility such as using wireguard VPN. Pair this with a configurable router.

    Cisco RV260 vs RV340 Routers

    i would avoid both due to the fact that they are based on outdated platforms, however as long as it comes with better hardware than the ubiquiti ERL. I shall use that as the minimum ,as long as its better. All RV/VPN routers use the same CPU type and that platform is outdated now that we have...

    Router for 1 Gbps speed line

    i wouldnt say disposable, more like bad design. Even the asus ac68u did have an issue that was easy to solve that was thermals. Even mikrotik did have reliability issues and still does on some models. A few things to look out fire - wireless chip temperature - PSU quality and voltage With...

    Advice on home network installation

    i'll need a reminder to write about this. Use pure copper Cat6/6a (depending on below/above 50m for 10Gb/s in the future) for permanent runs. You dont have the crimp them with heads but you can use jacks instead on the wall, i highly recommend dual or quad jacks as ethernet is far far more...

    Router for 1 Gbps speed line

    i've tried the wireless hap mini i got free, the options for wireless are really nice but out of the understanding of regular peeps. Range isnt great though as its indoor. Now that im broke i cant even get the HAP AC which is neat and a contender to the HEX 3. Its hard to compare because the...

    Router for 1 Gbps speed line

    i normally recommend mikrotik too, just many arent literate enough to configure it. The most important question is, 1Gb/s with hardware acceleration or without?

    Any Info On Upcoming Multi-Gig Routers? 2.5G, 5G and 10G

    the pricing might look good, until you jump to 2 SFP+ and the price skyrockets to $1000. For $300-$400 you can get a 16 port SFP+ fully managed switch with a dual core ARM A15 CPU from mikrotik, which means you can also run dude server from it if you wanted or have it do some tasks aside from...

    Any Info On Upcoming Multi-Gig Routers? 2.5G, 5G and 10G

    with mikrotik, the switches are fully managed, so its not a dumb switch. Definitely better than dlinks offerings by a mile.

    Any Info On Upcoming Multi-Gig Routers? 2.5G, 5G and 10G

    SFP stands for small form pluggable. It is a modular interface that allows you to plug in any interface you need. There even is a VDSL module for it too. This is because there are far too many mediums available, so many different requirements. For example a small business may only need to link...

    Any Info On Upcoming Multi-Gig Routers? 2.5G, 5G and 10G

    Both the CCR1016 and CCR1036 will do 10Gb/s. They use SFP+ ports and you need to find the model that says 2S+ at the back as sfp+ can support 2.5G and 5G via modules which is why i like SFP+. The CCR1009 will do 10Gb/s on a leaner config but it only has 1 10Gb/s ports. If there is a modal with 2...
