Your Imgur links are not opening so I can't see from your pics. What ports on the "AP" are connected to the the TPLink switch?

Claims to be 12% off msrp. Many resellers and even Fortinet will discount and 12% isn't huge. To be clear you're going to need 2 per device for your desired 18 months of coverage. You would also need whichever hardware coverage, they have several...

Understand I am asking this because the lics have been expired for 2 years and no has complained. This leads me to think you aren't actually using most of the features. What features are you actually using in your policies? I googled for pricing...

2K per?? What license are you buying for Fortigates and what features are you actually using? What woud 4x new 60F cost? Checkpoint would a vendor to consider that is in the same class as they have some nice small business devices. PA also...

Why I don't use consumer routers.

What's most incoherent than this? children mutilation, the normalization of pedophilia, school shootings, the grooming of children in schools, the racism toward white people, and the main news stations calling Burn, Loot, and Murder "the summer...

You tell em ... drink it up ... lmao

I installed Tmobile 5G for my parents replacing "up to 10Mbit DSL" ,read 3Mbps down and 384Kbps up on a good day, and could not be happier with the results. At present the only options they have are the previously mentioned DSL, Starlink and...

You need to make sure that the pihole IP is the only DNS server your clients are getting AND make sure that pihole is the only DNS allowed out of your gateway. You must block all DNS from anything other than your pihole server IP. You need to...

At some point if and when I have dumb amount of discretionary income to spend, I'd like to build a fully custom keyboard. I actually think it's pretty annoying in general how there are zero after-market keyboards that meet my criteria. I'd have...

Not the only one. I am typing this on a Model M and using my wired Trackman Marble. I have a drawer full of Model Ms should this one ever die and about 20 replacement switches for my Trackman buttons. A Northgate Omnikey can substitute for the...

Special? I dunno really. They're less intuitive for me so a real pain to work with. But for my wife, they're the bee's knees. Different tools for the job at different price points. I guess it's special if it does exactly what you want. To...

The customer was already convinced the circuit was not the issue. They just would not accept the FW was not causing the problem. Nevermind the FW was WAY overkill and could easily have handled 50Gbps of deep inspection and the customer was only...

I've 1Gbps symmetric fiber and a 300/20 docsis backup. The only way I can tell difference between is when downloading multigig files and it takes long enough to notice the download rate. I stream video from 3x set top devices during almost all...

Use a wired connection and you'll likely have your answer. Also, when doing performance testing I would suggest using something besides a laptop. Apple aside, these days they come in roughly two flavours, cheap or light weight. We just spent a...

To each their own. I block ALL that stuff. PiHole and such allow you to do blocklists for devices that cannot support a client.

So much this ^^^^ Pi-hole with Unbound means you're basically your own DNS resolver and Unbound uses DNSSEC to get new data from the root DNS servers. Self-hosted, filtered, signature verified DNS. Can't beat it.

In a home environment that is almost certainly switched wtf would you care if queries are encrypted on the LAN? You'd have to span a port to see the queries. Much easier to access dns server and get everything from the logs. The same applies to...

Built my first homebrew computer, 486dx, on an Abit board. Ran OS/2 v2.0 on it.

ABIT...Mmmmm
