    Professional Advice on Best Performance Network Switch/Power Line Adapter for purchase

    Your premise is sound, connecting the router at one end of the house to the AP at the other with a powerline adapter will probably work. If it were me I'd get a powerline adapter kit and try it with your existing hardware before considering a different AP. The problem with powerline is that...

    Want to replace my current switches to Zyxel GS1900 or TP-Link TL-SG2008.

    FWIW, the firmware on the SG3424v1 was updated on 11/06/14 (the version I'm using) and again on 12/18/14. I have several LAG's setup and they work fine between ESXI servers and a desktop.

    Opinions/experiences with OSes for hardware firewalls?

    I don't think you'd be disappointed with pfsense. If you want to tinker there are plenty of configuration options as well as packages to extend the functionality, such as IDS/IPS. The pfsense forums are very active, so it's easy to get help if you need it. It will run on low end hardware so...

    Want to replace my current switches to Zyxel GS1900 or TP-Link TL-SG2008.

    I've been using a TL SG2008 for several months in my home lan and have been happy with it. I don't think it's been rebooted in the past two months, but I'm not where I can check at the moment. I'm not using all the features, mainly using vlans and snmp. The switch sits between my router and...

    AC router advice

    Problem solved, although not in the way I expected. DSL service got flaky a few days ago and had to have a new line run from outside. I had them run the line to my office and moved the equipment that I was trying to bridge to into the office. Now I have almost the whole network on copper. I...

    AC router advice

    I have tried plugging the TP Link powerline adapters into various plugs around the house. All I can say is our wiring must be strange. Some of the plugs closer to the router and even in the same room gave worse throughput than some farther away. The home was built in the late 70's and was...

    AC router advice

    Thanks for the replies all. My plan, if I go ahead with it, would be to buy two AC devices, one for each side of the network. I should have elaborated in the edit to my original post. We already do have homeplug as part of the network. My wife works from home and we need to have her...

    AC router advice

    Long time lurker, first post. First off let me say thanks to Tim for this site. It has helped me numerous times and is one of the first sites I visit when I'm looking to make changes in my home network. I'm thinking that it may be time for me to upgrade part of my wireless network to AC...
