    Advice needed on Access Points system (Unifi / Omada / Netgear / Zyxel / Grandstream / Dlink)

    Zyxel Nebula offers a free license that is more than enough for 3-4 APs.

    Do i need an IoT VLAN

    Do you need a guest VLAN? I have a "not trusted" VLAN with devices that don't get software updates and also guests.

    Upgraded Opnsense Firewall Router hardware

    You can play with IPv6 which is more exciting than L3 routing 😜😜

    Upgraded Opnsense Firewall Router hardware

    L3 switches help inter-vlan traffic. Do we have inter-vlan traffic at home or in a small business? Probably not, as we put guests/IoT on a separate network in order to prevent them from communicating with other networks, not helping them with L3 routing.

    VyOS for Home

    They are preparing a very beautiful graphical interface for VyOS They have many builds available. I would choose one that is said to be stable in the forums. Some of these build have been used for the stable release.

    But they don't have firewalls for this market* and when you get firewalls and switches from different vendors, you get worst insight of your network. *Meraki Go firewall is a very weak product

    let’s plan for the next 5 years: would you pay $645 + your hardware for pfsense or pay same or less money for a Cisco router with 5 years lifetime? (eg cisco meraki go) I would buy something from Cisco or Fortinet (with no license) with this amount of money over 5 years.

    Two things I just heard: 1. Opnsense will move to BSD 14 as soon as their next big release. 2. Negate put Kea DHCP only to the paid version, leaving CE version with the ISC dhcp that is EOL.

    But you can easily go from CE to the paid version.

    Cisco uses linux on their routers, correct? Why don't they use BSD? I'm asking because it's something I'm challenging in my mind, linux vs BSD for routers.

    For me personally, the best business model is give me something that is 80% stable and free to test it at home, then learn from my experience and sell it to big companies 100% stable to pay your bills. VyOS and Redhat does that.

    It's more than that. It is buying something (an alternative) vs paying subscription forever.

    Netgate asks businesses to pay $400/y that is as good as free if a company buys a server that costs $30.000 and use it on datacenter and offices. Then asks lab users for $139/y per device but labs have more than one routers (virtual of physical) to test things out. They could give a trial...

    Thank you @sfx2000 for the useful information! My concern is mostly about PPPoE since in my country is used in all connections (even the FTTH Gigabit ones). PPPoE is single threaded and can use only a fraction of the CPU resources. So I am thinking if I should pay for the license of pfSense...

    NAT, PPPoE (we use it in my country), VLAN routing..
