Then a new router it is how do I program it. Is it hard

Another vote for Ubiquiti. Nothing wrong with pfSense, but there isn't any need for the cost and complexity of building your own router. You can't get good router hardware to put it on easily.

Where is a good place to get Ubiquity products, Baltic?

I've heard several people say that they like Baltic.

Baltic is a little cheaper last time I checked, but it's been a while.

But you have shipping charges with them as they are a normal reseller.
But for clients with terms, it is a much better solution than dealing with Amazon and credit cards. Pricing after shipping is typically very similar to Amazon.
-
Amazon is a pretty good place to buy it specially if you have prime. You will get products much faster than any Ubiquiti reseller.
-
Nearly everyone has Prime these days, and lots of people in big cities can get devices delivered in a few hours. Big selling point should you need a replacement.

Ok got it, thanks sir. Its for myself but will compare them and Amazon. For any clients I can see the advantage of what your saying.

I do have prime and its for home so will probably make sense to use Amazon

Pretty much anywhere it’s discussed
It’s been the standard in the enterprise since the rise of switching.

Right.. well I feel like you're from a different world or something as you're always saying things that seem very different than what's commonly heard of. That being said, we actually have a /23 network where I work but I've had numerous people comment on it as being a "weird setup". I just assumed they had little knowledge of networking and are used to the very common /24 setups on a lot of home routers and things.

I'd say that /23 and /22 are the norms for good networks. Smaller than that is super common - artefacts of the fact that almost all SMBs are totally out of touch and work off of myths and rumours instead of facts and research.
Remember, in IT (and most things in life) if most people do it, it's probably not a good idea and something to avoid. Best practices and good rules of thumb are never things followed by the majority.

I like to think that this is because I'm competent and most people are not. I know that most people are not. That part isn't in question. The question is am I just random, or am I competent

My wife sent this to me an hour ago.
Fools seldom differ. When all you hear is one thing without good reasoning, assume it is fools not differing

I actually made a video on LAN sizes just the other day. I'm waiting on it to be edited.
