    Omada device choice

    Can't talk about the ER605 router (I use MikroTik) but I'm very pleased with my EAP650 APs. Rock solid, plenty of options and regular updates. I manage it with the Omada Software Controller, but you can choose the Web UI of the AP. It has VLAN support if needed. Range and speed are constant and...

    Question on NAS setup

    If I was you, I'd build my own... and guess what? I did it! My NAS is just a regular PC box stuffed with disks running x86-64 Linux distro, stripped down to the basics. I've had it for 5+ years and it runs without a hickup. Need more space? Just add drives or replace old, smaller ones with new...

    So Long, Thanks For All The Help

    I took a similar path not too long ago, but I was on NETGEAR consumer routers instead of ASUS. I'm familiar with both NG & ASUS firmware. After many struggles with both, I had enough and invested in a business/professional setup. Went for MikroTik as router and TP-Link Omada for APs & switches...

    Anomaly RAM Usage 97%

    Linux memory management VM caches extensively. There is nothing to be concerned about. Cached memory is readily available for applications if needed.

    10GB wired router options

    Avoid everything consumer-based NETGEAR. I've ran it for years and learned my lesson. It sucks! Now, business-oriented equipment from NETGEAR I can appreciate!

    NICGIGA Switch Experiences?

    No personal experience with this brand, but ServeTheHome has reviewed a few of their switches and they tend to be solid.

    Voxel changed default Firewall setting?

    If you're not connected to your home WiFi, thus not to the RBK50, then whether that firmware has different settings for the firewall or not, doesn't matter. The firewall does not extend beyond the router/firmware. Something else is going on...

    Have you asked on the Ubiquiti support forum?

    Which router to buy? Newbie

    I've used the Omada's stand-alone firmware UI and the Omada Controller one. Both are easy for me, though the controller has much more options you probably won't need or use the defaults.

    Which router to buy? Newbie

    I would also get rid of the repeaters as they halve the bandwidth due to constant need back and forth to be in connection with the main router. +1 for seperate APs like the Omada's. They have a very nice software Controller to easily manage them.

    Least expensive wired-only gigabit router? (TP-Link Festa FR205? Others?)

    Speeds are just fine, slightly higher than on my previous NG RAX43 system. Browsing also feels much faster now. On the RAX43 sometimes it'll take up to 1 second to open a link. Now it's almost instantaneous.

    Least expensive wired-only gigabit router? (TP-Link Festa FR205? Others?)

    I moved away from consumer-based AIO routers to a seperate router + AP solution. For router I chose MikroTik (their products are on the cheaper side) and TP-Link Omada for APs. Couldn't be more happier. My MikroTik RB3011 with 10 1-gigabit ports + SFP, was only 120 Euros.

    4x4 2,4 Ghz increase coverage?

    Not true. 4x4 and 2x2 says something about the amount of simultanious streams that can be used, but nothing about coverage.

    What's a good NON-Asus router to replace a GT-AX6000?

    That's classic paranoia about TP-Link "spying". TP-Link has existed for a very long time and by now "spying" incidents should have been uncovered, like the ones of D-Link (actually, a discovered hidden backdoor in their firmware) or NETGEAR in the past. The majority of hardware is made in China...

    Is a used mini pc a good option for a NAS?

    Both my home server and my NAS are custom built computers by yours truly. My NAS is basically a regular PC stuffed with, currently, 5 4TB HDDs and an SSD for the OS. It holds my movies, music collection and backups. It does not run 24/7 but I fire it up using WoL when I need it. (It boots pretty...

    What's a good NON-Asus router to replace a GT-AX6000?

    I use TP-Link Omada APs (ceiling), the EAP650 ones, and they have a very easy and structured control interface. My router is a MikroTik RB3011, which is not for the faint of hearts if you're not willing/don't have time to invest in getting to know RouterOS. All runs rock solid and am very...

    Anandtech closes up shop

    I know AnandTech was slowly going downhill over the past few years, but when I read the headline yesterday evening (my time), it came completely unexpected and I was shocked for a moment. Nothing lasts forever, I guess :(
