        Hmm. I really do need to invest in a backup drive for local backups at home. May have to look at a new external drive.

            I should have added, at home to that. We have local and offsite backup for the place I work.

              Very nice! Let me know what you think of the AC3200. I don't often use WiFi at home, but when I do I need it to work better than my ISP's modem is capable of.

              Will do!

                    Why did you get a consumer grade AP at that price?

                        I've seen these things in action. Amazing routers!

                          Yep. I Just got a freebie sent. So I should be posting a review on that one soon.

                            Lucky you. Look forward to seeing that. I use a AP LR at my house and that has been working phenomenally.

                                I too was wondering why you went consumer instead of UBNT? Sure a EdgeRouter Lite and AP AC would be a bit more... but it's 'doing IT' at home instead of consumer.

                                  I get a decent discount on these, so it would have been more than you might think. I also didn't think of it tbh...

                                    He has an ESXi server at home so he could put a virtual router in at no extra cost. That's what I use is a router on one of my esxi hosts. Had been pfsense for years but I switched to sophos more recently.

                                      Do you have multiple NICs in your home box?

                                        I've tried that. It didn't work well for me.

                                          Yep. I just put in a PCI card NIC. Since it's a desktop. If it was a real power edge or something you wouldn't have to. You could technically bring the wan in over a vlan if you use a managed switch at home but I'm honestly not to fond of that idea which is why I don't do it.

                                            Good to know. I need to do this, my home router hasn't been the most stable of late.
