Well, that seems to be an option. To be honest, I never looked at TP-Link devices before. I have had Netgear Business before and now i have mainly Cisco gear and i am very happy with it. TP-Link had some bad press in the US with regards to potential data-privacy concerns so i never considered...

Yes, i looked into those too and appear to be very interesting. The tricky bit seems to be finding a decent 24p 10Gbe ports managed switch with VLAN capabilities and PoE++.

I don't have any issues whatsoever with the WAP571's either but in light of the upcoming FTTH with 10Gbps that is arriving in our street i have been scanning the market a bit to understand what my options are to move to 10Gbps. My firewall/router hardware is already capable and my NAS also i...

This is a very interesting AP. I have been thinking of upgrading my Cisco WAP571's for a while now. I am just unsure if TP-Link is as reliable as Cisco for SMB usage.

Typically you do not want the whole range in DHCP as with OPNsense, your fixed IP's are required to be outside the DHCP pool. I use fixed IP's for all wired equipment in the house like my managed switches, TVs, servers, wifi AP's, UPS and so and so forth.

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.
