    Anyone used these? They have a few models offering the magic combo of web management, PoE and 2.5gbe 5 and 8 port models https://www.aliexpress.us/item/1005006150854201.html Manual https://www.poeplus.com/UserFiles/files/S1108XGT-SL/2.5G-10G%20series%20Smart%20WEB%20Switch%20manual.pdf

    Topton 'NAS' motherboard.

    The kickstarter that's using a variant of this board has a backer update about offering alternate CPU choices. Could be a good option if they do manage to ship a version with a better CPU.

    Topton Jasper Lake Quad i225V Mini PC Report

    Interesting. Sure does look like the CWWK/topton nas board, but their board diagram has a U2 port which the current boards don't have. Not sure where they are getting the lanes for that from with a N6005! edit: from the KS comments:

    How to make the most of a 1.15Gbps (Gig1) Virgin Media ISP

    ok, but earlier you said "if I have guest VLAN 10 192.168.10.0/24 on my Linksys router, and request a 192.168.0.x address, its default Internet gateway is 192.168.0.1" so it sounded like your guest VLAN was getting assigned addresses on your internal VLAN. Back to option 5. You could probably...

    How to make the most of a 1.15Gbps (Gig1) Virgin Media ISP

    How does traffic from a 192.168.0.0/24 address in the guest VLAN reach the internal VLAN?

    How to make the most of a 1.15Gbps (Gig1) Virgin Media ISP

    If the guest VLAN is on 192.168.10.0/24 then what is assigning it a address from 192.168.0.0/24? You don't appear to have any separation between your internal and guest VLANs. The VM router only knows about 192.168.0.0/24 so any device talking to it would either need to be in that range or...

    How to make the most of a 1.15Gbps (Gig1) Virgin Media ISP

    oops yes VM router not VF router. I don't understand how the VM router is routing between the two subnets for you. Can you explain the network a little more? The VM router only knows about a single subnet and doesn't appear to have any way of adding routes to other networks that I can see...

    How to make the most of a 1.15Gbps (Gig1) Virgin Media ISP

    How is the VM router routing from the guest network to your internal network? You can't even add routes onto it can you? Are your internal and guest networks sharing a subnet? If you have something like: <Internal Network 192.168.2.1/24> <Your Router> (NAT to 192.168.0.2) <--> VM Router...

    How to make the most of a 1.15Gbps (Gig1) Virgin Media ISP

    I have the same service from Virgin and I don't think there is a easy way to do what you want. You would have to deal with the pain of double NAT plus the complexity of multi-wan where both the wan links are to the same IP address and MAC. Might be simplest to just throw some devices onto the...

    Connecting Xeon-D 10G base-T to SFP+ switch

    They only announced it last week. Looks like suppliers are expecting it in october. It is based on a marvell chip so hopefully we will see a wave of reasonably priced options from others (fs.com etc)

    Home Lab moving to 10GbE

    That only has 2 SFP+ ports. If you only need 2 you could get the mikrotik CSS326 for around £110 including shipping from eurodk Half the price for 24 gig ports and 2 SFP+ ports plus it is fanless
