    Why is my network going down?

    I'd suggest trying to plug in the bluray player without the switch as well, just to be as thorough as possible.

    Help needed to identify my bottleneck

    Cat6 won't be any faster than Cat5e. What method/protocol are you using to transfer between the two units? Also, does the Synology offer any way to run performance benchmarks on the disks locally?

    Need help finding a good gigabit ethernet card

    Grab an Intel card off ebay. They won't do 1Gbit (nothing will due to TCP/IP overhead, as well as other factors), but they'll come damn close.

    RV180 Not Compatible with IE10

    Maybe Microsoft should fix their browsers, so that web-apps which run on their competitor's browsers will run on theirs :D

    Router as Proxy Client

    I would think you would be able to simply set up a static route for this. All traffic destined for 0.0.0.0 would be routed to your proxy server.

    Cabling advice for three story house

    The amount of latency introduced by a switch is practically immeasurable. The greater issue would be the limited throughput from each switch to the central hub, ie.) squeezing multiple lines down to a 1Gb backbone. I'm not sure where you're buying cable, but everywhere I've looked, rolls of...

    Time to go consumer?

    I can't speak for Mikrotik, as I've never used one. As far as the ER-Lite goes, there is a web-GUI for all basic functionality. You can also upload configuration files. There is a basic configuration file posted in one of the articles here. If you read the review, its routing performance is...

    Time to go consumer?

    You may want to consider looking at a Mikrotic or Ubiquiti ER-Lite. They're a bit more complex than consumer-grade routers, but once they're set up they've very stable and perform very well without intervention. The ER-Lite was reviewed here, and I have one personally.

    Time to go consumer?

    I meant replace your pfSense unit with a consumer grade router. You can then set up an Untangle box, which once set up, takes little to no intervention. This way you wouldn't have anything to maintain, except perhaps the odd upgrade. Set it and forget it.

    Time to go consumer?

    You may want to consider adding in a UTM in bridge mode as suggested, which will allow you to have all the features a consumer-grade router wouldn't support. Untangle is pretty popular, but there's plenty of alternatives. Your setup would be something as follows: Modem -> Router -> UTM ->...

    Router Suggestion

    Hmm, I'll try that when I get home. If that doesn't work I'll head over to the Ubiquiti forums. I'll check back in tonight.

    Router Suggestion

    I do quite like that feature. I have a tendency of getting a bit too, er, adventurous sometimes :p Question while I'm here. I don't think it's possible, but I'm far from an expert. Say I have two Subnets (or VLAN's, whichever works), N1 and N2. Is it possible to have N1 inaccessible by...

    Router Suggestion

    I can live with this; at the end of the day, stability is what I'm looking for. I have plenty of other toys to play with after I grow bored with this anyways :D I've set up about as much as I can without actually deploying it. I'm moving at the end of the month, so I don't see much point...
