Two SSID, one for 2.4 and one for 5.

I will try this sub-forum for my question: Yesterday I installed a second Nest Cam and it greatly affected web browsing, a lot of pages would not load on the first try. I turned the camera on and off to verify it's the culprit. My upload bandwith is 10Mbps and each Nest cam uses about 1 Mbps...

Yesterday I installed a second Nest Cam and it greatly affected web browsing, a lot of pages would not load on the first try. I turned the camera on and off to verify it's the culprit. My upload bandwith is 10Mbps and each Nest cam uses about 1 Mbps for upload, so this is not the bottleneck...

It's by our department policy, I contacted MikroTIk a couple of months ago for one of their 24 port Gigabit switches, and they told me it's made in China.

Does anyone know any company that sells switches or routers not manufactured in China? Thx

c246 supports ECC Ram

No, entry-level chipset is fine, as long as ECC RAM works. My only reason for going with a higher level chipset is for the higher quality design they use, like better electrical noise suppression. In terms of reliability for MB, is Asus still one of the top?

Well, go with x470 from Asus or ASrock?

I guess workstation is not the best term as it usually refers to a machine for rendering/computing, it's more for monitoring and logging but we want to minimize downtime.

LOL, I can stretch budget to $1000 (w/o monitor) and see what's available out there. p.s. PC is preferred

I am looking to build a workstation for $700-800, speed is not important as it's mainly for monitoring/logging data 24/7. I want to go with ECC RAM to minimize downtime, what are my options?

Good news, I found the cause, it's NordVPN. I used Norton removal tool to remove Norton but the problem stayed. Then I removed NordVPN and it's gone.

I will try that tonight, meanwhile what's a better AV/firewall to use?

Well, VPN is for connecting out right? Why would the machine be able to connect to the internal (wifi router, printer) if I am behind VPN?

Here's an interesting development, I tried to access wifi router behind a VPN and it worked! After I disconnected from the VPN it could no longer connect.
