There is no simple answer. Your network, regardless of speed, is either idle or sending a packet. Whether your buffers (upload) or your ISP's buffers (download) are "too" saturated is up to you to decide. Example: A video stream uses 20mbps of your 100mbps connection, which mean you have...

I assume they backport security fixes, which is likely what you are implying is the primary concern when using old code in networking devices.

It's no good for you. I understand that some things "just work" for certain cituations but I think it's dangerous, especially for an influential person, to declare something as "no good" simply because you didn't have a good experience. If you have details (like sfx mentioned) then I can fully...

Indeed. A favorite response (kinda...) of mine was that they were grandparents of a child who'd lost their parents through drugs or poor care and that the child would literaly go crazy if they assumed the caretakers had taken any action against them, by physically assaulting them. (In that case...

Whether pfSense, or any reputable system, is "high performance" or "better" is hard to quantify. Similarly, it's hard to objectively criticize without some concrete, repeatable examples of failure. I personally chose a FreeBSD-derived OS for networking purposes because I think it has he most...

Either use UPnP if your router supports it, or manually forward the appropriate port (32400?) to Plex, or setup a VPN. Use a service like CanYouSeeMe to confirm that the external port is open.

I thought most stateful firewalls had good support even for things like UDP & ICMP. With pfSense, if I allow outbound DNS it statefully allows the response. If I allow outbound ping it statefully allows the response.

It's a mostly useless post without details about why it happened... Were you using Unbound? Recursive DNS lookups take a bit longer than using 3rd-party DNS servers.

That seems to be right: https://twitter.com/SimonRKelley/status/914918747978305537

I've got an 8GB in mine with no problems. I even formatted & partitioned it within AsusWRT's CLI. IIRC, the limit was 32GB+.

If the AP doesn't support VLANs, can the hEX isolate based on the ethernet ports?

I prefer "real world" benchmarks like iperf or simply starting a local file transfer and observing the speeds.

If you could help Tim setup QoS ("bandwidth management"?) I'd be grateful. For me, that's a very important topic for a tutorial to include.

Meh, I assume most ads are BS. If I decided to get mad about the accuracy of a company's claims in their ads I'd probably never buy another mainstream product.

I must ask, how objective are you in this situation? Most of your posts are pro-Mikrotik, so there's obvious bias.
