Hi mtieff, Is the R7000 still available? Thanks!

Yes, this is correct. However, WHAT DHCP range does the ISP provide for your devices? If the ISP is automatically 'serving' IP Addresses to the devices that are connecting, basically what DHCP is for, they will have a subnet and range of IP addresses to 'serve' from. ISP "Router/Modem" - IP...

I've used the ReadyNAS and it was solid. A bit on the slow side, getting going, that is, talking back in NV+ about 2012 or so. Here is the interface for the ReadyNAS as of now. http://www.netgear.com/landing/readynas-sandbox.aspx Helpful to see what options the Management interface can...

Yes! I have that EXACT model as well. You never know when you just need to do a quick, down and dirty Sniffing job!

That model looks like a managed L3 switch. I could be wrong about that. Will you need routing/Router capabilities? Unfortunately, there isn't a Review I can find on SNB on these. I've been researching Mikrotik as well because I'm looking to upgrade my Router and Wifi network. Note...

Besides the possibility of losing/slow connectivity because of intermittent connectivity of the RJ45 heads to the strands or wire. Depending on HOW many Cat5e/6 cable drops, you can have a mess of wires there where you'll have a pain to troubleshoot and try to figure out when there's a...

So, as a direct Replacement, the Netgear R7000 would be my recommendation IF you're 'High Speed Internet' speeds are over 900 Mbps, then, the Gigabit port WAN to LAN would handle this easily, squeezing the most out of those Internet Speeds. You could use another of these Netgear R7000 routers...

Have you seen the Microtik Routers? CRS226 can handle several of the requirements that you are talking about. The PoE could be like a Netgear G108T which has (4) PoE ports and is a Smart switch. Much more cheaper than a Cisco equivalent. :)

I'm looking at WAN-LAN and LAN-WAN throughput as really, this is my primary bottleneck that I just can't get away from with my current RT-N66U, solid, for the most part, yet, unable to handle, Gig WAN speeds from my Dark Fiber. Yes, I would like my Wifi to have a better/faster coverage. I can...

Microtik Routerboard RB2011UiAS Is one that I found and love the feature set. Though, the MIPS and 128MB RAM don't seem to be too kosher for a 1 Gig WAN to LAN connection. This is the other, Microtik router CCR 1009-GS. I've used Sonic.net as a Service provider Years ago, when they had a...

Yes, I agree mm2001, Meraki is solid. My beef with the MX60W (That I was issued by one of the companies I work for) is the 100 mbit limitations which basically, cuts my 1 Gig fiber at the knees. So, I've split my Dark Fiber connection, so that the MX is taking one Public IP address and the...

I've worked on Cisco 1700's as well as Linux OS. I can work on Networking I can program and work on with ease. So, I can work on most anything that you talk about here. I just want to see what options are available to upgrade my network without breaking the bank.

I'm still researching the Ubiquiti that rtn66uftw posted above. I like the UAP-AC-Pro, looks like it will do the work nicely. I hadn't thought of separating the Wifi with the Router and this can be a positive. However, i found a thought on the UBI Edgerouter that an end user reported: "This...

We have also used Velcro and cable ties a plenty for our data center installs. These look promising. Smart design, Mark!

Mmmm... NAT Passthrough will cause some problems, sure. The only way to diagnose that is with Port Mirroring and some software to take that info and point you in the right direction, such as Wireshark. However, I would suggest to not use an IP Masquerade, as you are now. Easiest to do is...
