    Condo Assoc Networking Advice

    Greg You also need to consider the many wifi devices that will be connected. Phones, tablets, laptops, etc.. As Stevech said, trying to operate as a small ISP will be a daunting task. Check the contract terms on those 50Mb/s lines and see how many users they allow to connect. Also check...

    wndr 3700v3

    I wouldn't say that value engineering is a new term. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_engineering Sometimes its taken to an extreme and we end up with products that have been over value engineered. ;)

    wndr 3700v3

    If the V3 works good for you then don't worry about the online comments. Keep in mind that most who comment online are experiencing problems. Most users who are pleased don't bother visting forums. I suspect that some V3 complaints stem from people's belief that Netgear chose to value...

    Remote backup to NAS

    Yes, that's a distinct possibility. All commonly used platforms have at one time of another suffered from exploits that could allow a remote attacker to take admin level control. NAS appliances have all sorts of addons that were not developed in house by the NAS OEM. Your NAS may be...

    Remote backup to NAS

    All good if security of your data/home LAN is not important to you. Keep in mind that NAS appliances run Linux and when exploits are discovered you can be exposed to attacks that can take control over your NAS. Just my 2 cents. I recommend you use a VPN to connect to your NAS.

    secure Backup station for your NAS

    Note, your data will be stored unencrypted using this type of service. The only encryption employed is during the transfer over the Net. If you are a Synology NAS owner planning to use the built in backup solution, be careful where you choose to cloud backup your data. If your backup contains...

    Consumer vs Business wireless

    Not exactly sure what you're asking. What devices are you looking @? How many users? Do you have competing wireless AP's very close to your office(s)? You are a small business....OK. How many offices? How many square feet? Are the square feet all on one floor? If the floorplan is...

    Switch

    Honestly you can use any of them. All are good Layer 2 switches. I believe the max switching bandwidth on the HP models may be a bit higher than the Dell 2848. Also take a look at the number of fans. I recall the Dell 48 port switches have a boat load of fans. More stuff to fail. I...

    Switch

    Dell 2848 will do the job. No surprise they were trying to upsell you.

    Volume raid 5 or synology SHR

    SHR is similar in concept to Readynas FlexRaid. I would recommend you use SHR even if there is a small performance hit. You will appreciate the flexibility when you decide to increase the size of the RAID, etc..

    Zyxel Zywall USG20 is it too slow?

    Yes, that's me. :D You can setup site to site ipsec vpn and use Rsync built into the Readynas units. If you didn't want to bother with VPN, your Pro supports Rsync over SSH, but the NV+ does not officially. I recall reading about a way to do RSync over SSH on the NV+, but even if you...

    NAS overkill?

    Any chance of you running a Cat5e/6 cable and not bothering with HDMI EC? That would be my recommendation.

    Zyxel Zywall USG20 is it too slow?

    USG20 can do 100Mb/s through WAN/Firewall. I have installed a couple on Comcast business class 50/10 and had no trouble. Zyxel is getting ready to release V3.x of their firmware and is seems that they are achieving better performance for the USG series. Take a look at the latest spec sheet...

    NAS overkill?

    bigred You'll need to check with Yamaha if they support HDMI Ethernet channel. HDMI 1.4 spec offers Ethernet channel as an option, however vendors are not required to implement it. See here: http://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/hdmi_1_4/hdmi_1_4_faq.aspx Plus the HDMI Ethernet spec is 100Mb/s only.

    TP-LINK TL-ER5120 Multiwan Router (350MB throughput for $250) - Anyone use this?

    agoro I think you have some of this misunderstood. None of these dual WAN routers will allow you "bond" the connections. They will allow "failover" in case of a dropped WAN connection or some other algorithm such as "round robin", "least Load first" or "spillover". In your case I would...

    DIR-655 Very Strange Problem!

    Unless you need the features, pfSense is a big jump. Consider a better appliance such as the Netgear WNDR3700V2 or Apple Airport Extreme.

    Looking for a proper Dual WAN solution

    I run several of their dual WAN USG solutions. A USG50, 100 and 2 x 200's. All work great. One of the USG200 is running 3 x WAN. The round robin and failover is helpful and reliable.
