I have my switch connected to an uplink port but any port will do basically.

i have an SG350-28P. This thing just keeps on running. Only if a fully capable Cisco alternative with 28 10Gbps ports and POE+ is available on the market for an acceptable price range, i would consider a switch but for nothing less than that.

Is there a reason, other than tinkering, to do this instead of using OPNSense or pfSense that are stable, reliable and do all that stuff? I'm just curious...

AIO sounds like a great concept but i would never recommend running pfSense or OPNSense in a VM. Routers/firewalls should always run bare metal imho.

I have a quite dated workstation (ASUS P10S-WS with an Intel i7 7700K and 32Gb RAM) which runs W11 flawless. I use Firefox and it is superfast. Everything else too so i can only agree something is wrong with either his hardware or the W11 installation..

Not wanting to hijack the thread but to be honest, before this thread, never heard of Dongknows 🤨 I stick to what i know is reliable as mentioned in the 2 posts above. I use SNB, STH, LS for networking, hardware and stuff and the forums connected to TrueNAS and pfSense because i use both. Not...

Just a small word of advice: don't use Opera as a browser. My Godson recently contacted me as the PC i bought for him was hacked and his game accounts blocked by some Russian a-hole. Eventually, i figured out that Opera was among the responsible of all the crap he had on there with tons of...

I know, and i will at the point in time that i upgrade my entire LAN to 10Gbps and that will be when the fiber in our street which they just put in will become active. I guess in a year or so...

Honestly, i would also do what @Tech9 is proposing. First see how far you get with the current hardware. As it is easy to transfer your config from your current box to another box with newer hardware. I did the same about 6 months ago when i went from a Xeon E3-1270v2 to a Xeon D-1521. Didn't...

I have a Cisco SG350-28P. Bought it 2nd hand and extremely happy with it.

I am a long time pfSense user and have also tried OPNSense to see if it could be an alternative in case pfSense would start charging for personal use. Eventually, i opted to stay with pfSense as it does exactly what i want, the way i want it. I can relate to the fact that it could be all a bit...

I always keep UPnP switched off in my router/firewall and do manual forward, if required. I don't want devices opening up ports on my router without me knowing...

I have owned a couple of Mikrotik routers about 4 years ago. RouterOS was good, very complete but at the time, somewhat complicated. Maybe it has improved in the mean time. The AP seems interesting though. Do i really understand it correctly that this is an Access Point with a built-in switch...

I recently reinstalled Unreal Tournament, GOTY Edition on my W11 desktop on request of my brother. I used to be a big player, in clans and stuff and eventually moved over to Tactical Ops, again playing in clans and ladders, many many moons ago now. I was amazed how fast i got the hang of it...

Nope, i have 2 of those and didn't do it. As long as it isn't broken, don't try to fix it, is my devise.
