Just to add, I've never used CLI before except the old school DOS which I hardly remember to use. That was a whole new world to get into, quite addicting :rolleyes:

L&LD, ColinTaylor I appreciate the suggestions and concerns regarding our home network. It's been a week since I last posted and that week was spent researching and making sure that the network was properly setup "to my knowledge". 1. I kept the Asus Router, I purchased it for $150 at Best Buy...

Initially that was my first thought however, Comcast doesn’t allow 2 modems in residential according to their sales rep. Unless I have a business listed in a residential home then I could have residential and business accounts. Or two electrical meters signifying two separate addresses in the...

I had a Q&A with the IT department for better clarification. I'll keep it as informed as possibility because I don't understand half the lingo they were saying. Universities are a pain in the butt, it's a new pilot program for "Work at Home". Being that it's a pilot program I believe they are...

No I didn't buy it. They brought it with them. Life is definitely easier going to work in an office lol! Your solution is a lot cheaper than what they've been suggesting. And yes, it's been a week trying to figure this out. I'm not an IT guy, just an enthusiast willing to learn. One day, wife...

Colin, you're right I'll get some details tomorrow and will post asap. 58chev, I'll take a look at your suggestion. Like I said, I haven't really tinkered around with scripts but I'm willing to give it a shot. My purpose is also to learn and educate myself with networking, it couldn't hurt to...

I'm not sure how they would connect to company and home. The proposed solution is a "smart switch" and something else. Additional cost was $450. Even if I purchase the equipment, I would still need to the initial setup as they would only begin their part of the work when connections are...

Hi all, My first post here but I have been lurking around to gain knowledge of networking. My current setup is a very simple home networking solution: Xfinity 1g speed, Arris SB8200, Asus RT-AC3100 with Merlin FW. My issue is setting up a VLAN using my current setup. I'm currently working at...
