Home Network Firewall Options

We had a UTM applicance that was excellent for web filtering and sucked big time for IPS.
I cut the IPS off and ran Snort / Suricata for a few years in-line so I could actively block the attacks and things like P2P It was awesome. Sadly, our Badnwidth outpaced the hardware and we had it converted to an IDS out of band so it just monitored.
I am a HUGE believer in knowing what is going on on your network. Get something in place, even if it can only see what is going on and alert you.

I've been playing with my ERX. It's pretty amazing for $60. Looking into purchasing their UAP-AC-LITE as per @JaredBusch

I have a ERX/UAP-AC-LITE combo sitting net to me righ tnow to configure up this morning

I have been running an ERX for a couple of weeks and it really is great for the money. I also have a UAP-AC-LR that I am having some issues with in terms of devices losing connectivity. Most of my stuff is hard-wired. My phone loses connectivity from what I can tell about once a day but my WiFi thermostat disconnects and won't reconnect, making it all but useless for 75% of the time. I saw an update was released as of 2-29 but that didn't fix the issue. I am going to hit up support to see what they recommend.

try dialing the power output back on the UAP.

Thanks, I will try that. I have seen others having similar problems going back to the previous generation of APs but I couldn't identify any one thing in particular.

All of the LR models are a horrible thing for anyone trying to use an AP. They are much too powerful and will overwhelm the radios in the gear around your house.
It is a very successful marketing gimmick
-
Well the idea of an LR model is for big open areas and such, not for home use, surely. More like warehouse use where you have to mount them pretty far from where anything will use them.
-
@JaredBusch I do understand that. I needed an AP and the regular version was out of stock in several places that I could get it from quickly enough.
I will also add that it isn't just the LR that I have seen reports/complaints of my issue. It was the other models, as well.

I installed an Eaton 5S 1500 for my desktop - should be more than enough for your power load.

Does that do something for me? Legit question.

I just put an Eaton 1U unit in one of my remote switch closets. I like it so far.
