    eero Announces Its Next Generation

    Holy crap! That's a deal killer right there. There are many times I had to live with a TWC outage for a couple of hours in my area.

    They also make APC UPSes, reliable company.

    New Motorola SB6183 or SB6182 modem

    Received my modem this evening, swapped my 6141 with it on TWC just now. Fastest activation I ever did on TWC SoCal. So far, so good :)

    ASUS RT-AC87R Max Rate of 600

    Ensure you're using WPA2 with AES only (and not WPA+TKIP).

    How much delay should I expect running a router behind a router/modem (UVerse 2wire)?

    You should put the router Mac address in 'DMZ Plus' mode if you want to avoid double-NAT issues. 'DMZ Plus' mode allows you to configure one device on the network share the public IP.

    Deciding Between Synology vs. QNAP

    Synology is my personal preference. But 'Virtualization Station' may make me go QNAP next.

    Routers that support LACP

    It's better to get a smart switch than finding a router that does 802.3ad LAG/LACP. I run LACP on my Netgear GS108T "Smart" switch for both my Synology NAS & the Mac.

    Ubiquiti UniFi AP-AC Reviewed

    Damn.. Tried the basic $69 UAP which I really liked and was set to get AP-AC before finding about no ZH :( Now the choices are: - Airport Extreme Base Station - Asus RT-AC87U - Netgear R8000 X6

    Do you guys know if the AP-AC firmware now has Zero-Handoff (ZH) capability?

    New Motorola SB6183 or SB6182 modem

    I pre-ordered the 6183 on Amazon since I fall under Time Warner Cable's 'Maxx' area. Currently using a BYOD 6141 (an 8x4 channel modem)

    Mistaken Purchase: How to Mitigate?

    Vendor encryption claims (software or hardware) are usually for volume encryption (data-at-rest). They usually don't benchmark data-in-flight secure connections because of possible network congestion factors.

    NAS filer on AWS that is easy to use?

    Try Redhat Storage Server (GlusterFS AMIs) across two AZs. This might be easier to manage (though I never tried it): SoftNAS VSA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17lc7Qw4BgQ

    ASUS RT-AC3200

    So, we'd need three SSIDs then? ugh..

    ASUS RT-AC3200

    LOL.. reminds me of the TheOnion's Gillette Five Blades Plus the NetGear one looks like a turtle on it's back :p

    The rmerlin donation thread.

    Done. $50.

    Using your NAS to host virtual machines!

    Thank you for the write-up, Dennis. It's amazing how far consumer gear has come to host VMs and such. Enterprise gear such as NetApp has had this ability for a while but obviously more expensive.

    Making private IP reachable by the public internet

    I think you have Double-NAT (router behind a router). Who is your ISP and what connection is it (Cable, ADSL, VDSL etc)? If you have AT&T U-verse, you can enable DMZ-Plus mode which allocates a public IP to one downstream device (which could be the WAN port of your N10)

    Advice with router settings

    I suggest you try DD-WRT on E2000 to see if it helps. You can always revert back to stock firmware if you want. http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_E2000

    Stable Small Biz Router

    For small biz, I think it's better to do a dedicated router with Access Points at different locations. Look for Ubiquiti products.
