@HTBruceM You make a very good point with regards to CASTING devices and a market need for engineering teams to build a "casting-friendly" network isolation scheme! @thiggins @L&LD @Trip @coxhaus @RMerlin : All of you guys are certainly a lot more connected to evolving...

Hello dlbzone. Thanks for your response and offer to share new findings. From my side, I have read multiple threads and suggestions from frequent (and more knowledgeable) contributors from SNB. My key take-aways are that my network design will (eventually) encompass: VLAN-capable PoE Switch...

I would like to stay somewhere between $ 300 - $ 500 for an L3 Switch, if possible.

I think that 10 Gbps is an overkill and too expansive for the moment. Any other specific HW recommendations that may fit the details previously listed?

Hello everyone… I have been lurking around this forum and have found/read a lot of very valuable information. After all my research, I have come down with a high-level plan to address some immediate needs; while considering how to further expand/improve my SOHO network down the line. CURRENTLY...

Thx @Matey2 . Have been doing a lot of research and reading over the last week and came across some interesting and educational posts from many members of this forum: ex: Trip , coxhaus, L&LD , and many other contributors. I will be looking to add some PoE Devices down the road, likely Cameras...

Hello and the best of 2021 to everyone. I have recently moved to a new home in BC (Canada) and have brought all of my previous gear along. I have a fair bit of hardware accumulated over the years that can be incorporated into a more secured network design. However, I have not yet concluded on...

I was under the "impression" that the supplied USB cable perhaps had some special attributes specific to the interface for a UPS-->NAS, which would have required a similar "special USB cable" ! From your responses, it looks like any normal USB extender may just do then :) Will give that a...

I am looking for technical advice on this point. I recently purchased an APC UPS to connect my QNAP TS-459PRO in order to protect it and initiate a proper shutdown of the NAS during a power outage. The model for this APC UPS is the BR1300LCD (which is part of the Back-UPS RS series from...

Here is an update to my earlier post. It looks like the "compatibility list" posted on the QNAP Web-Site does not show every/all possible compatible models and generally refers to the UPS units under their "Family Name" rather than by each possible product number. I found out that this can...

Tim and SNB are just a MUST SEE and USE. I had been looking for information to better understand what I needed to pay attention to, in order to implement a Home/Small Office network. This site was invaluable in understanding the numerous choices out there. It helped me sort through what made...

Hello to all QNAP and other NAS Users, Am looking for some advice to protect my recent purchase from possible problems resulting from sudden power outage. I have just recently ordered a QNAP TS-459 PRO and am waiting for its delivery now. In the meantime, I also wanted to decide on a proper...

Selection made - QNAP TS 459 PRO ... now HDD confiuration question Hi Claykin... I was away for a while and saw your comments from my post. Thanks very much for your response. Here are the final results for the above: I just ordered the QNAP TS-459 PRO (diskless) and selected 2 X 2 TB WD...

Hi Claykin, Have seen through various blogs and posts that you actually own a ReadyNAS NVX device. This is ONE of my final contenders for my next purchase of a NAS device. I have also witnessed from numeorus posts that I read that you are far more versed than I am in the NAS technologies. I...

Hi Tim and all from SNB, First .. congrat’s for this extremely informative site. I had been doing a lot or research to upgrade into a SOHO Network and was very glad I found SNB.com . It has given me a lot to ponder about but am getting there slowly. Am now considering my final NAS selection...
