  • I will be rewlading, researching, and contemplating on this for a moment. I will be back to you eventually. Withing the next couple days. I hope this post helps others now and in the future as well.

    A lot of it makes sense. I do have a decent grasp on a concepts, but not specifics as you outlined. Honestly if I don’t know what docsis is, my employer would fire me 😂😂😂

    But seriously, more questions to follow probably. 🫠


  • I doubt it is getting fully saturated, not to say it’s not possible though. I can’t wait for our area to get High Split for symmetrical speeds. At the end of the day even if the router isn’t my issue, and I’m being saturated, I would like to move myself in a more secure and useable direction. Such as for home automation, additional servers and firewalls, and potentially getting into cyber security.

    As for your planned homelab. On a birds eye level I would recommend using a small cheap computer with two network interfaces and opnSense as a router / firewall and Ubiquiti Unifi Access Points with the unifi controller software hosted on your media server. I can go into some more depth if you wish, but the official documentation for opnSense is pretty good.> This was basically gibberish to me, if you are willing for more details, I am more than happy to soak it in, and provide more questions following because that’s how it goes in the beginning right? lol

    Thank you for your time as well. Reddit side was much less responsive than here. Judgy almost.









  • I’m definitely a big time noob because in that small post there are words I’ve never seen or heard lol.

    First thing is I need to determine hardware necessities. I have a spare Ryzen 5 and like 32 gb of ram and a 2060 super (not sure it’s even necessary) laying around. It’ll be easy to scrounge up other parts.
