    Thinking about going Prosumer

    It's ok I lost myself on that as well, I just read up on it and it involves VLans etc to achieve it. Interesting one for the pros though. My setup is also dull, but it keeps the family happy right. Maybe one day I'll wipe it all and do a fresh install just for the fun.

    Thinking about going Prosumer

    Yes it's a "router" I would suspect PFSense is potentially better if you spend hours with manual configuration, however unifi has it's own hardware firewall that is integrated into the ecosystem. For protecting a home network both (and what you have already) are more than adequate. Just to...

    Thinking about going Prosumer

    So massive overkill as your family don't appear to have 250 devices each connected to wifi that are continously on :) A small gateway is more than enough and you can still connect your pc via wire to the switch. Even what you have already can typically handle 20-50 devices. I would look at...

    Thinking about going Prosumer

    If this is just for you to play cod warzone, it's overkill. Especially the R750 which can handle 1024 concurrent users :) In my experience the higher the wifi version the speed is better for sake of crap range. If it were me, and I have been discussing Unifi quite a bit. I would go for...

    Skynet Block entire regions?

    Fair, I was really enjoying comp until they killed it in 2024 to try Tbh I don't really know, I know there is a lot of building work going on over there first, assume when that is complete they will start putting in the network. The Disc cutter for running the cabling through the concrete is...

    Skynet Block entire regions?

    Nothing wrong with CoD, except they rip you off by forcing you to buy it every year if you want to play competitive. Only reason I don't play it now :)

    Skynet Block entire regions?

    It works correctly upon Install however what I mean is that over time you will need to whitelist some websites/hosts as on occasion there are false positives. (you may find some websites not working and will have to debug to discover if this is a skynet block) - There is a correct way of...

    Skynet Can't access certain website due to Skynet

    Has anyone else ever wondered if @Adamm really looks like his Avatar? (or am I weird? - no don't answer that, we're all weird here right?)

    Skynet Block entire regions?

    https://github.com/Adamm00/IPSet_ASUS Skynet is a powerful addition to your firewall. Your router doesn't "need" it to work, it is just a tool that you can addon to your router. It can be complex to set up correctly, and it can cause anxiety "if" your knowledge of the reports is lacking. Only...

    Need Help, setting up separate WIFI MAC Filters for Main and Guest Networks

    Yeh I get it, I just think you're overcomplicating it using mac filters and 2 guestnetworks, you could just use dns director.

    Need Help, setting up separate WIFI MAC Filters for Main and Guest Networks

    What is the end game? This seems like a complex way to provide your kids protection from bad stuff on the internet, can't you just point their devices to different safe dns servers?

    Assistance with Large Wifi Network over multiple Buildings Ubiquiti

    Will do, will probably take the best part of a year to all be up and running however :)

    Probably my last post

    It's becoming more Ubiquiti centric by the day and I personally think that is a good thing. Besides the forum is here for all kinds of Network issues as you say, it's disappointing his experience with ASUS, I can honestly say my non pro version of the same router and little Mesh plug barely miss...
