    MicroTik RB750GR3 hEX Router & VPNs

    So in other words, instead of paying attention to what was written ""I absolutely would never have any sort of wireless/wi-fi/bluetooth device here" you preferred to listen to what the voices in your head were claiming I actually meant to say? I wrote that for the express purpose to dissuade...

    MicroTik RB750GR3 hEX Router & VPNs

    That was my branded hybrid form of surreal/satirical humor, but trust me, I can be offensive. For example, what does "I absolutely would never have any sort of wireless/wi-fi/bluetooth device here" tell you? Apparently not much, or at least, not enough....unfortunately I know of no way to make...

    MicroTik RB750GR3 hEX Router & VPNs

    I could also cut off the antenna, superglue the switch to 'off', wrap it in aluminum foil, forge a lead box to house it in, and buy a wi-fi jammer to set on top....like one guy did....or I could just not buy any wi-fi crap at all. I have a couple remotes for my TV, VCR, and DVD recorder. I think...

    MicroTik RB750GR3 hEX Router & VPNs

    Thanks for the info. I know very little about this topic. As said, I have a tech guy to come around to deal with the MikroTik. All I need to do is be able to call him, have all necessary equipment available for him to do the job, and have a list drawn up to tell him what I want done. Now so far...

    MicroTik RB750GR3 hEX Router & VPNs

    Well, I'd consider replacing the MikroTek, but only with another 'wired-only' router. If you know of such a rare critter, I'd look into buying it, but $300 is likely the most I would pay. I absolutely would never have any sort of wireless/wi-fi/bluetooth device here. Never trusted that...

    MicroTik RB750GR3 hEX Router & VPNs

    I am wanting to get a VPN next month (been putting it off for a year now), and been researching which ones are compatible to install on my router: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/OpenVPN I'm running XP Pro and this weird little router that has proven to be fantastic....but the two disqualify...

    DIY custom-build router for pfSense

    I wish to look into doing a homemade router for pfSense, and would like recommendations for the parts needed. Router must be able to reach gigabit speed, and total cost of parts must be $300 or less. Since I do not want to fool with using the embedded version of pfSense, nor replacing the SSD...

    pfSense SG-2220

    Thanks for your reply. I should first mention that I am completely new to networking and routers...only just now getting a home PC for internet use. Been tied to public computers for about three years, so my skill set is negligible. From what I can determine via Google searches, "500MB/Sec" is...

    pfSense SG-2220

    Anyone here using this router? I'm expecting to buy one soon, and have some questions, like how long does it typically last under continuous (24/7) usage, does it really handle gigabit speed, and so on?
