    What's bad about this setup?

    The following setup is for home network. It's just a theoretical one, a case study I create myself for my (near) future network upgrade.

    Is there anything 1 level above pfSense?

    Maybe many of you have experienced this before. From integrated modem provided by ISP, you move on to a separate router. From a router, you learn about third-party firmware (Voxel, Merlin, etc) and so on. For me, it's like this: ISP integrated modem -> ISP modem + dedicated router ->...

    Internet plan in US?

    When should we consider wifi 6 devices?

    When is the expected time for commercial devices (laptops, phones, wifi card, etc) fully support wifi 6 features (final draft)? Since this information is rarely disclosed, I can't find anything about it.

    Powerline adapter vs Range extender (RE).

    As title, can anyone tell me what's the point of using powerline adapter? Aside from extending signal at the place we can no longer using range extender (even range extender can't receive signal). Let suppose my main purpose is using range extender /powerline adapter only as a receiver, and...

    How to choose cable modem?

    My friend is going to upgrade his system, and he's asking me for advice to do so. I have enough knowledge on router side, but for cable modem, there is nothing I can tell him. Can someone give me some shade light on this field for me? His plan is 60 Mbps (Comcast I believe), and I'm going to...
