That is not a bad deal for the G5 with batteries, I was looking at a G4 with batteries for almost the same, and most batteries are expensive that I am seeing on line. Those network cards are EXPENSIVE and hard to find so its probably worth it for that alone. Hopefully batteries can just be...

Is that 1U? It looks like it in the pictures but it has to be 2U for the batteries i'd assume. Ever get any advanced features working for it like network monitoring and email alerts? Some of the things I have now that I'll miss a bit.

Might be time to retire these old dogs, I have 2 of them one on the server rack and one on my desktop. I have had to do a battery rebuild 3x now, and I cant say if its because the margin of error for replacement batteries is so small, or all of them you can buy for a reasonable price are just...

Still only a 1gb WAN and I can max that out easy even on 6E I also just built a new firewall using that MS-01 :)))))) so yeah I know my router is not going to be a bottleneck and I am ready for 10gb WAN now. My Galaxy S24 Ultra and my Fiancée One Plus 12 both have Wifi 7 and honestly trying to...

Guess I never reported back. I have 3x Zyxel WBE660S as they were the fist available to purchase (Have had them installed since January) and also had the true x4x4x4 triband support, 10gb connections, and free non local management. They went on sale $200 off for a while making them $600 and...

Tag just got my MS-01 this week to run as my new PFSense box, this was an important feature to me since my old firewall has iDRAC and I run everything headless.

Ok going to give these a try. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B097MKLWCY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I also maybe would/could/should test the RJ45 SFP's a bit more as like I said my desktop has been on one for weeks no issues, but the AP overhreated. Could be a...

For some reason I thought this was a solution to make the switch quiet and keep the SFP's really cool, because when I tested the RJ45 SFP the other day they worked fine, even at multi gig speeds and my desktop has been hooked to one for weeks no issues, but soon as I added my access point using...

So the fans are here going to try the same mod, it seems all 4 fans come with... no connectors. Id rather notcut and solder the old ones to the new fans and ruin them, so what connectors do I need? I am pretty sure its JST, but there are so many different ones, does anyone know exactly the...

Fans on order. Got my WBE660S up today using 10gb RJ45 to the SFP's and had some network issues after a while, I think it was the SFP getting too hot it was like burn you hand hot to the touch. I may have to just get a native RJ45 multi-gig switch for my new setup needs afterall if that heat...

Got my ICX 7250-48P delivered today. Boy did I have fun! I didn't think to notice that despite having 6450's that the 7250 would have a different format for the console port. So I had to look up what to do about that and found some many years old posts and scrouge my house to come up with...

I really wonder if that is even needed with such a strong cpu? I mean I am only running my own personal VPN but I am doing it off much lesser hardware and dont even use 5% of my CPU for a 1gb WAN, this CPU is 5x stronger than what I have now. So I guess if your doing SMB VPN with lots of users...

Mine is sleighted for PFSense when it gets here, I am not sure how similar they are. If anything I imagine OpenSense would have more drivers and better compatibility as they dont sell in house hardware. So for sure I'll say if it works for PFSense. Just gotta play the waiting game.

Would look relaly nice next to my QSW-3216R-8S8T. I am just not sure about the ventilation of this, I see it has top holes but also front/back. If this was on a rack as a 1u unit with something above it,it might block ventilation?

Good Read, I am looking to add multi gig to my Brocade switch. I ordered several different SFPs to try, not all of them can I confirm what chipset they use. I am trying to find the best way to test to verify performance issues.
