    Router with dual gigabit WAN support - advise please

    Off the top of my head the following will do it under $400 USD: Pelink Balance BPL-One-Core OPNsense (Build your own router) Netgate's PFSense+ (Models Netgate 1100, 2100, 3100) Synology RT2600AC QNAP Qhora 301W Linksys LRT224 Cisco RV340 TP-Link RT605 TP-Link ER7206 Ubiquiti ER series (would...

    QNAP Releases TBS-453DX NASbook For The Mobile Worker

    I can see a few use case scenarios Best one being small offices that work out of something like a co-working space. Every user gets a laptop with under <=500GB SSD. Files everyone is accessing would be stored in something like Dropbox or Onedrive. Even if the internet connection is crap the...

    Need Router Recommendation

    Yes they can. Last time I used them was about 2 years ago to load balance across 4x DSL lines and a cable line. 2x 1.5m/1.5mbps with statics, 2x 7m/768kbps and a jittery 10m/1mbps. Client session persistence can be set up with a check box. They are using a few VoIP lines. Not a single complaint...

    Need Router Recommendation

    I am surprised you were not looking at the Peplink model Balance One Core (version without WiFi) . It is a heck of a lot faster than the older Balance 20. Especially since you stated price was not a main concern.

    UBNT EdgeRouter 12

    Best way to configure 2 public IPs on ERLite-3?

    That's not what the OP is trying to achieve. They need to create a source NAT rule. Eg. Eth0 WAN Assign ip 1.1.1.2/29 Assign ip 1.1.1.3/29 Eth1 LAN A Assign ip 192.168.2.1/24 Eth2 LAN B Assign ip 192.168.3.1/24 Create a rule following this guide...

    Best way to configure 2 public IPs on ERLite-3?

    What do you mean by "I want to use 2 public IP addresses"? Did you get these addresses from Cogent already? Are you renting those additional addresses in a /29 or lower block? Is Cogent handing you out a /29 or lower or are they handing off a /30,/31 and expecting you to route the additional...

    Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite Revisited

    The platform is already out in public beta and called EdgeRouter-4 (no lite). The major upgrades are a routed SFP port and change of the CPU from 2 cores at 500mhz to 4 cores at 1ghz. As for the difficulty of the platform, I can only speak for myself. This is not a system for the average user...

    Ubiquiti AC Pro and AC Lite Access Points Reviewed

    BTW, Tim, I know you don't get told this enough. Thank you for being literally the only independent reviewer of SOHO hardware that actually tests with hard numbers instead of "feels".

    Ubiquiti AC Pro and AC Lite Access Points Reviewed

    I'll be honest . . . Something does seem a bit off. I have done basic testing with a UAP-AC-Pro and a Lenovo laptop with an Intel 2x2 card. The 2.4ghz performance over UDP was definitely over 100mb/s. As for not connecting past the lower MCS rates I wonder if that's due to the DSSS rates being...

    Pockethernet Smartphone based Ethernet cable tester

    There are 3 different main types of cable testers; Validator; only shows absolute connections without testing eg. pins 1/2 are crossed. Qualifier; Same as validator but adds a data test commonly known as a BERT. Certifier; certifies the cable to ASNI/TIA/EIA/ISO specs. Testing is done in a...

    Netgear’s Latest ProSAFE Access Point Includes 2.5 Gbps Ethernet, PoE

    To be honest I have been using 2.5gbe ports with both Meraki and Aruba for almost a year now . . . and the price difference isn't that far off from Netgear's. This begs the question, if you had a choice between cisco/aruba or netgear for essentially the same $ why would you go netgear?

    Recommendations for discrete Gw/Fw etc. Router

    The one you originally looked for was a Supermicro. Netgate rebranded them and pfsense partnered with netgate for a turnkey device. Later on netgate partnered with ADI-E to develop custom board designed with use for pfsense in mind. That's the first model I linked.

    Recommendations for discrete Gw/Fw etc. Router

    Here is the successor model from Netgate http://store.netgate.com/ADI/RCC-VE-8860-1U.aspx The OEM is ADI Engineering IIRC instead of Supermicro. Here are the Supermicro models that are basically all the identical motherboard with slight differences in the chassis...

    Need a WiFi repeater that will re-broadcast on a new SSID

    Thanks all, ended up going with a Linksys model only because I could verify it did exactly this in the firmware emulator after seeing it partially implemented in a tp-link. The tp-link model requires that the authentication be the same as the original network.

    Need a WiFi repeater that will re-broadcast on a new SSID

    Hi all, Does anyone know of an inexpensive (less than $200) Wireless Repeater that will be able to broadcast on a different SSID than the one it is connected to? I just need to extend a signal for a single device and there is no reasonable way to run a line there but there is power and a pretty...

    Ethernet Cable Questions

    So here is the deal. TIA/EIA do not have a spec for CAT7, CAT7A, or CAT7E . . . so according to them, any cable with the label CAT7 on it is CAT7. ISO however does recognize a standard known as CAT7, and it does not require the use of a GG45 connector. It only requires that it meets the...

    Router Advice - the new guy

    I wouldn't say ubiquiti is too technical for the use case. Before anything, update to the latest firmware. Initial setup is a wizard. The QOS is done in 4 or 5 clicks. Remote access can be either OpenVPN or PPTP. NAT has the option of SNAT and DNAT . . . or Auto PAT with 1:Many NAT with Firewall...
