I'd suggest you look up the WLC 2504 bundle which comes with two APs. I chose the 2504 with 2x 2702i access points (using my NFR discount at work).
I'm not sure what your budget is though so this may not be the cheapest route.
The 17xx AP+WLC bundle seems to be reasonably priced on eBay if you...
It's mainly web-gui but one could use the CLI for simpler stuff than adding rules. SSG-5 is limited to 90 Mbps (IMIX) on plain traffic and 40 Mbps for encrypted. PA-200 has 100 Mbps on plain and 50 Mbps on VPN. Not much of a raise but management and number of total sessions is much better...
The Palo Alto PA-200 as a replacement to aging Juniper SSG-5 (400+ days uptime w/o UPS). Providing NAT and IPv6 over IPsec to my home network.
PDU I picked up from eBay for CCIE lab.
Grabbed pair of Palo Alto PA-2020's and upgraded from 4.0.3 to 4.1.11. The 3750 switches are for a FTTH project and thus not really my switches. Although I could possibly borrow the 3750G for a while to test GNS3 QinQ lab setup.
Some equipment for my CCIE R&S lab, only 4 switches (3560...
Installing the fiber connection cost like 2900 and the service for 50/50 Mbit is 49 monthly.
But since I am an employee I get uncapped link and same monthly fee. :cool:
Another update with a better computer and a new speedtest.net tester.
Time for some pics I have taken of some nice equipment.
This one is Allied Telesyn MiniMAP 9100 series ISP-switch, it has been loaded with one FX10 module for 100base-FX ports running in WDM. So only one fiber needed per house to get connected. :cool:
Same device but a little different angle...
The upload sucks on this one, for some reason. So instead I shall add this test with FTP upload to my server at a datacenter. 20/20Mbit line.
"ftp: 104857600 bytes sent in 46,75 Seconds 2242,94Kbytes/sec"
It has been running stable for a long time now :) There was no problems installing Linux on it as everything is supported. It took a while though to get it running with full 4GB as the DIMMs need to be on the right slots and I'm not sure if dual channel is working currently. The fans I have...
Greets from Finland, this is my home network.
It consists of 3 desktops, 3 laptops, 1 PDA, 1 server, 1 switch + router, and APC Smart-UPS 1400VA. Server is upstairs and I haven't taken a pic of it, anyways it's an IBM xserver with dual 1GHz PIIIs.
A pic of my desk with laptops etc:
