Pains me to say - I may be going 'consumer grade' for a router as I now find that my 16port switch is lost as well.
This is due to cost and turn around.
You can still find 16 port switches for reasonable cost, they're just harder to find. I recently got a 16 port PoE TPLink switch from Amazon that wasn't overpriced or impossible to actually get.
Why would you consider consumer grade routers? At the very least, you can get ER-X from MicroCenter. There are a few other quality options around that are better than consumer c*** now as well.
I have bad luck with tp link

being tired and apparently sick - my sarcasm is not the greatest. twenty minutes to walk down a flight of stairs.... and I have to turn around and walk back up...I think I'll just go back to bed..

Going back to bed sounds like a winning idea to me! Get to feeling better!

@nadnerB Haven't had that much bad luck with them as switches goes and they have lasted more than Dell and HP for us.

Good morning, it's coffee time here.

When other people have bought TP-Link kit, it's been pretty good.
At work (pre-merger) we had some things that APs, switch etc, they seemed to keep going.
Opposite story at home I've had, i think I'm up to, 3 DOA modem routers, and one that was dieing a slow death. IMO, I have bad luck with TP-Link, so I've stopped buying their stuff.Other people don't seem to have the issue.

Any of their home gear (routers, modems, etc) is generally trash.
Switches and enterprise gear is much better.
I've heard good things about their Omada products as well, but haven't used any yet myself.

May have been in stock then, but looking for edge-router, edgerouter, er-x returns no results. select Ubiquiti and it only lists three models.

Where did everyone go?

monday morning - switching my days off this week to help cover desk - get Thursday off!
I'm going to need a lot more coffee -
Monday Morning indeed.. I am still recovering from being sick and lost of 60% of my network. .. New switch came in so that is replaced and now got more back. I feel I still need and will replace the router but need to find the right one as what I have been looking at - isn't available or available at a respectable price.
Work wise is a mess.. Onboard day, I'm still out 'sick' and a contractor was scheduled to do electrical / networking work... so our already limited staff has been overly pushed.
I really am looking for something else... this place is a disaster ...

Thanks - I'm going for the 'something better' variety

Morning all. Frantically trying to get caught up on the vlog and drink coffee and pack as I leave for Costa Rica really early tomorrow morning.

We've been in the hurricane for two days, but doing pretty well. I slipped and fell last night on tile and I'm pretty sore, but doing okay.

sorry to hear of both - I watch / track many systems - hadn't heard of Julia - hope it hasn't been terrible...

Just submitted a vacation request for Nov. 1st - hoping to actually be able to celebrate my birthday for the first time 5 years (was on call for 4 years on my birthday and never got to actually celebrate)
-
Was a long, rough day at work. The next project hits tomorrow, and even my boss was having trouble figuring out what is going on.
-
Trying to pack for a trip to Costa Rica in nine hours.
