Before I drop my money for these, I wanted to get some other opinions. Currently basing this decision off the untangle forums, who seem to be in agreement that intel nics all around may not speed transfers but would make general network access faster due to much lower latency. My current setup:
Cable modem (60/5 - speed package)
Untangle box (handles routing, dhcp, virus, spyware, ad, pretty much all the freebies)
*Wireless router (this only serves wireless)
Trendnet TEG-S8
All desktops feed off the trendnet switch
All cabling is cat6
All machines, including the untangle box, are using onboard nics. So various models of realtek and marvell gigabit nics.
*Wireless router is currently some zyxel wireless n I had laying around. Had a 4th dir-655 die on me, so I'm done with dlink for awhile. Any suggestions between the TP-LINK WR1043 and Engenius 9850 to replace the zyxel?
Thanks ahead of time.
