    HomeKit Smart Outlet Roundup

    Tim - do any of these offer an autoping "watchdog" type feature? I have an Amazon Fire TV that seems to need to be rebooted frequently - it would be nice if one of these could watch the Fire and reboot it if it drops off line. Thanks for the great write up! It will be interesting to see this...

    Running Cable, need a little help.

    If you are doing a lot of those Leviton "female" keystone ends terminated to wall plates recommend a 110 punch down tool that cuts. It makes a clean connection and cuts the wire at the same time. It is spring loaded and takes some force to compress, but not bad. It is helpful to have...

    Concept of a Management VLAN or netowrk?

    Can someone explain to me how/when this used? I keep seeing the term management port thrown around is that a port being referred to in a VLAN? Thanks in advance. Sorry for the spelling error in the title - can't seem to edit it.

    Managed / Smart Switch for secure home networking

    How many of these switches support a Management VLAN ID? So if I have a Local Network, Guest Network, and Management Network and have a trunk port created - can I set the master or default VLAN of any of these switches? It seems that this is a feature found in more expensive units. I wonder...

    Foscam C2 review?

    I very much enjoyed the Nest and Foscam C1 reviews. I see the C2 and wonder if it a step up in quality? Is there a C2 review on the horizon, or do you have some thoughts as to how it would compare? Thanks!

    Does Synology have the hardware equivalent of the TS-453 pro?

    Thanks very much for the replies - I will not use it for HTPC duty, but some VM was on the horizon. I am/have purchased the HDHomeRun DVR, want to use the Roku integration as well. I know if I go Synology a new model will ship in a month.... I get the "you can wait forever" part. I am...

    Does Synology have the hardware equivalent of the TS-453 pro?

    So I am going to lay down some cash on a NAS and retire my WHS (rip.....). I get the impression that the QNAP TS-453 is a nice piece of hardware, but based on what I can ascertain in general, the QNAP is somewhat lacking when compared to Synology DS. The media and automation support Synology...

    NETGEAR Arlo Reviewed

    Thank you very much for your response. I am somewhat surprised that Netgear would pick the same channel as your access point to promote co-channel interference on purpose. I was always believed that was a bad thing. I get that it is better than adjacent channel interference, but if I only...

    NETGEAR Arlo Reviewed

    Thanks very much for the solid review. How does Arlo work within your existing Wi-Fi setup? Does it sit on the same channel as your current router? Can you pick the channel it broadcasts on? I have been reading some people having issues with there Wi-Fi after they installed these. Somebody...

    ASUS RT-AC68R and OVPN @ 2048 cipher.

    Thanks for posting this. Question - how come you did not just export the config file from the within the router? Is there some advantage to manually setting it up?

    RT-AC56U Wifi toggling, WAN port

    If you do not intend to use 5G it at all - you could simply disable it then the toggle will not come into play at all. You can find it under Wireless>Professional> make sure you select 5GH from the drop down and select NO in the enable line. That should do it. Hope this helps.

    Connected to more than one "interface" at a time?

    Well - most of what you said was way over my head, but I apprecate your response :-). So that I can at least follow conceptually in the beginning of your post your are talking about ISP, WAN or enterprise level connectivity for large numbers of users over wide areas? I assume those or...

    Connected to more than one "interface" at a time?

    This is what I was confused and asking about. I guess I did not realize a computer could see the resources different networks at the same time. If both of the networks would happen to have have wan connections how would it choose which one to use? I suppose it would be much more useful to...
