PFsense gets the best community support if you're new to the scene. Though the $50 license & effort has kept me at bay. I actually have been wanting to move to untangle since a while because I believe it is better suited for home use and even easier to use than Sophos IMO. List of important vidoes/link for future use (self-note):īeen using Sophos for a couple of years now on a no name Chinese miniPC I got for 10k ish with 4 Port Ethernet (attached pic) - Don't have DPI enabled so can't comment on throughput in that mode - otherwise get full speed ( I am load balancing multiple ISP connections using this set up too) Power consumption and heat produced - both should be minimal given they will be on 24x7x365. Will prefer devices with small form factor, which can disappear in the environment/hide in the cupboards.Ĥ. Don't want to spend a huge enthusiast level budget.ģ. (open to other stuffs which i'm not aware of but are budget friendly)Ģ. Discourage consumer grade equipment and mostly looking for Uni/Cisco/netgear. all the device in home can run ac network.ġ. or probably something available which has dual non interfering AC broadcast. Wifi point has to be in Zone -B for optimal coverage, going to have only 1 wireless device, n-mode for all mobile/tabs, and isolated ac-mode only for the wireless workstation which need high speed connection to home server. I will schedule it somehow to keep wifi during active only 10-12hrs a day. Later (next year) i will replace the wifi router (AP) with a switch and attach a dedicated wifi AP ( something like UniFi nanoHD - ), separating wired and wireless networks. Will connect a Mi router, lying somewhere around in house directly to ISP router and make it open for guest and neighbours in wifi-n mode. Switch (S) - thinking about this, also was searching 10 GbE switch for future proofing, unable to find any. Other option ( will continue to list down, for my notes as well): In that case what other option i do have ? - (i would like to avoid configuration via CLI, i don't have that level of passion left at this point of life.) I've seen in one review, that USG gateway don't provide us as much flexibility to configure and it over heats while heavy data transfers. Now looking for the main router ans network, which would help me isolate my home network from outer world.įirewall/router (R)- I'm thinking to get this Ubiquiti USG ( ) Not sure at which point i need to plug the pi-hole (coming soon). Please suggest if anyone finds a mistake or way to optimise it even more. Power line already gone and replaced by cat6 to Zone-C (all future device in home will go in that zone ).
