    Outdoor switch - -35f - +130f

    I need a switch to go inside an outdoor, weatherproof box near the middle of Michigan. The box will get full sun exposure pretty much all day, so I estimate the temp inside the box to get to around 130f. In the winter we can hit around -35f. This can be a simple, unmanaged switch. More info...

    Blocking P2P

    I've spent a ton of time reading all over about blocking P2P traffic. I have a client who received a notice that someone on their network was sharing out illegal content. So, now I need to find a way to stop that from happening again. From what I've read it may be impossible to really make this...

    Suggestions for Small Business network, filtering, etc

    Advice, please. I set up a small business here with Windows Home Server, an ASUS RT-N66U, and a small unmanaged switch. They have a very large area to cover with wireless and that ASUS does it perfectly whereas their previous router only covered about 1/2 the area. There are about 8-10...

    Best practices: Small Business network, lots of clients, no dedicated server

    Not sure this is the right place for this thread, but here goes. I need to set up a small business that has at any time about 20-30 devices connected to their network. They have no dedicated server on which to run DHCP, so it has to be in the ISP provider's gateway or in the wireless router...

    Low-Use cable verifier

    As most, I have a cheap-o continuity tester for testing cables. However, I've read and been told I need a good cable verifier to test for actual throughput, etc. From what I've read it looks the Fluke MicroScanner2 is what people mean. I have a small inventory job next week where they're having...
