    Is it stupid to buy a Draytek Vigor 2926 router?

    I had a Draytek Vigor some years ago and let's just say they weren't particularly good at releasing updates for it. I would never buy another of their consumer units again, especially when you have some many great options including those from NetGate, which come with pfSense pre-installed.

    USB over IP recs

    Some years ago, Apple announced that they were deprecating AFP, so opting for SMB is likely your best option at this point.

    USB over IP recs

    Not sure whether this is the proper place, but my question is LAN-related. I've got a small UPS in my network cabinet that can only be configured/monitored over USB, which is a non-starter via hardline USB. Can anyone recommend a good USB over IP hardware solution that will let me connect the...

    Zyxel USG 20W Questions

    Unfortunately, that didn't work. Fortunately, Papertrail has a work around for that. Thanks, -MB

    Zyxel USG 20W Questions

    Greetings, I have two questions about configuring a new Zyxel USG 20W. 1) How does one disable remote admin login over HTTPS? I did a port-scan of the device and it shows 443 open and serving the Web Configurator login screen. 2) Is there anyway to add a port number to the remote...
