About lacp
No. Don't do that. Remember, LACP is round robin as well, and you're going to have alternating speeds between 1gb and 10gb. Are you really going to be able to saturate a 2gb link? The 10gb link is there for uplinks/trunks/etc. Use that for data between switches. Either use the one...- bendsley

About lacp
You should have no issues between an optical and a copper bond for LACP. As long as they operate at the same speed, this should work.- bendsley

Advice/Opinions TL-ER6120 vs Untangle
Just a side note....not so much on the hardware but on Untangle. If you're going to use VLANs, don't use Untangle. -

Logical design using vmware ESXI/firewall aplliance/and virtual servers
The setup attached is probably what will work best. Attach your wireless stuff to the switch. For your VMs on the esxi box, they would need to route through the firewall vm and then pass to the external NIC. I only put that picture up there because by not having an external switch behind the...- bendsley

Double Hop Over LACP-Enabled Switches?
LACP just aggregates the information going through the bonded ports...so any traffic going through from SWITCH 1 to SWITCH 2 will pass through to the NAS just fine...all bonded through LACP. As long as SWITCH 1 and SWITCH 2 and NAS are all LACP, everything will work fine. If you only have...- bendsley

Cisco Catalyst 3750G
I'll be here to help as well as we have several hundred scattered throughout. These can do routing on them, but I would tell you to stay away from that currently if you're new to switching and just stick to the layer 2 stuff.- bendsley

New to Networking
How have you noticed that it's running slower? Does the speed to the internet feel slower? Transferring files internally? What baseline do you have to compare it to? -

A Routing/multiple routers question...I need Help..
I second this over using multiple routers. For a home user, multiple routers can be a big headache, especially when something doesn't work properly. -

Xbox 360 moderate NAT with ASUS RT-N66U
Nat The built-in "firewall" is blocking ports. First, please disable uPnP. I believe the ports to allow through unfiltered are: Port 88 (UDP) Port 3074 (UDP and TCP) Port 53 (UDP and TCP) Port 80 (TCP) These will connect you without issue to the XBOX live service... -

Help setting up router behind cisco dpq 3925
Might be better to post what help you needed and then your solution. That way, if others come across the same problem, they might have a resolution here. -

Two NICs and VPN appliance
You need to find out what IP addresses / subnets you specifically need to route to at your work. If you're trying to connect to something like 172.30.30.0 and it goes through the VPN, you need to add that to the route with your VPN as the gateway. This way, anything to that subnet will go... -

Which router can support 300 computers and offers few features mentioned:
If you can swing it, something like the Cisco 2800/2900 ISR series are good for this. Even the 1800/1900 ISR series can probably handle this ok. -

Two NICs and VPN appliance
It's called Split Tunneling and it's totally possible. Basically on the tunnel, all work related traffic goes through the VPN and all non-work related traffic goes direct to the internet. Keep in mind, everything coming through the VPN can be seen on their side and all of your browsing... -

MiniHub/Switch Recommendation
On newegg.com, they have a 5-port TPLink 10/100 switch for $15. DLink has the same for $24. Not really a recommendation because if all you're wanting to do is just let them have access to each other, then I would go cheap. TPLink and DLink are fine for what you need. There's nothing magical...- bendsley
