    New router for 2.5g

    That has a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot on it too, so you can add a 10GbE NIC to it. Note: it doesn't fit flush with the side of the case so you'll have to remove/bend the NIC bracket or use an PCIe riser/extender. Load up a free open source firewall like OPNsense. Add a network switch and access point...

    Arista ending Untangle Home License

    What firewall did you change to? I'm not really aware of other firewalls (either FOSS or inexpensive licensing) that have feature parity with Untangle. OPNsense + ZenArmor (as kydsid mentioned) can probably get you like 80% there.

    Which NIC for security?

    Chelsio NICs might fit the bill.

    So is it true you can plug SATA drives into SAS connectors?

    You can physically plug in a SATA drive into a SAS connector, but not vice versa. I think it depends on the controller if the drive will work. I'm used to using LSI HBAs like the 9211-8i and they work with either SATA or SAS.

    Any Prosumer/Enterprise-ish Wireless Access Points I'm missing?

    TP Link Omada. I have two EAP660 HD APs and they are fantastic. The Omada controller can be used with a hardware appliance, you can self host it, or pay a cloud subscription (IIRC $5 per AP). I run a docker container. If you've used the Unifi controller to manage Ubiquiti, the Omada...

    Best CPU upgrade options?

    Keep the router you bought, you just need a standalone DOCSIS modem. Just buy a modem approved for your ISP rather than lease one for the $5/month or whatever. Combo modem/routers are usually not great. Coax connects to your modem, then an ethernet cable from the modem to your WAN port on...

    Long Boot Time for AM5 Normal?

    I eat the longer POST time to have a faster and more stable system. Power down mode should be disabled on a desktop, and you can't run this with MCR on.

    Fastest VPN? (Torrenting)

    You NEED port forwarding supported on the VPN if you want fast speeds. When you use a torrent client with a closed port, you can only connect to people with open ports. With an open port, you can connect to people regardless of their port forwarding status. Allowing you to connect to more...

    Bios confusion regarding board MFG and AMD "Overclocking" settings

    I think they're basically derived from the main AGESA provided by AMD which then the board vendors make their BIOS from it. I saw it on AM4 on every brand and it's on my AM5 Asrock now. Yes, some settings are duplicated from main BIOS settings pages, but there is also some stuff in there that...

    Best CPU upgrade options?

    For a single CCD 7800X3D OS doesn't matter and there won't be micro stuttering in any OS. When you move into the two CCD parts like the 7900X3D or 7950X3D, when configured correctly in Windows it will only run games on the CCD with the extra vcache. I'm not sure if it works like this on other...

    Best CPU upgrade options?

    Just do this unless you have a major reservation with the motherboard, but realistically it's fine. You're lucky to live near a MicroCenter. 850W is plenty for a 7800X3D and isn't going to limit you on GPUs (unless you're dumping insane power into a 4090) 7800X3D is one of (if not THE)...

    WiFi Printer Networking Question

    Most home networks are just a flat 192.168.1.0/24 or similar. Your printer should receive an IP in this range, your clients connecting should receive in this range too (hardwired or wireless- doesn't matter.) There should be no issue communicating with the printer in this scenario. When you...

    Can 4070 Super push C49RG9x

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNPlTwWgaqs You can see 4070 Ti performance at 5120x1440 here which is roughly 10% faster than the 4070 Super. 12GB is a little low for that resolution if you're aiming for longevity, so I'd feel safer recommending at least the 4080 Super or RX 7900XTX to bump...

    How do you access a vlan from a computer that's not part of the vlan?

    I'm not familiar with WatchGuard. But generally the way I do something like would be make firewall rules for the network range / VLAN that just: Allow port 53 to DNS address Block all traffic to RFC 1918 addresses (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16) Allow all The order of these rules...

    Pixel 9 / Pixel 9 Pro / Pixel 9 Pro... XL?

    You do know why right? Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 vs Tensor G3 (aka the cancelled Samsung Exynos 2300). You have a competent SOC vs one that's terrible in performance and efficiency. And the Pixel 9 will be the exact same thing, just another Exynos chip disguised as Tensor. The Pixel 10 should be an...

    pfsense and 2.5gbps?

    The realtek-re-kmod supports all (or at least most) Realtek NICs all the way from 5GbE/2.5GbE/1GbE/100M/10M. I haven't personally used one but know someone who's been using the RTL8125 with no issues in OPNsense (with the realtek-re-kmod, not the FreeBSD version). Specifically, this version is...

    pfsense and 2.5gbps?

    I've used Intel i225v (B3) and Intel i226v on OPNsense (same FreeBSD base as pfSense) with no issues. No additional configuration is needed for the Intel stuff but you'll need to use realtek-re-kmod to get Realtek NICs working correctly (plenty of info on this if you just search it). I would...

    infinite loop no windows 11 pro

    You need an updated BIOS for better support on 24/48GB modules. I would 100% start there. F22 is the newest version for your board so you are way behind. Otherwise listing your full rig specs, like CPU, power supply, actual RAM kit and storage would be helpful. What is your memory speed...

    5700X3D won't post

    Yeah, this. You already did everything correctly with making sure the BIOS was updated and testing 1 stick of RAM. Since it POSTs with the 2700X, RAM and same motherboard it's likely that the CPU is DOA. I really doubt Asrock messed up BIOS support, you could boot with the 2700X and check...

    Convince me to buy Y6o?

    Don't change cases? Seems like silly reasons to change. There are already plenty of reviews and coverage of the Y60 so you can decide for yourself. Examples: https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/hyte-y60 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNfsG-Ai2PA I prefer COC myself.

    Trust Newegg reviews for NVMe SSD? - lower cost or "big name" like Samsung?

    Take reviews from any (r)etailer with a grain of salt, especially Amazon. On Newegg, you can filter by verified owners to help cut down fake reviews but it's not foolproof. You can do this on Amazon too but Amazon I trust even less especially on cheaper products. Prices are generally high on...

    Would you buy a vid card for F model CPU?

    Same here. I have some really lightweight PCIe cards with no 6/8 pins like the Radeon X300 SE if I just want to POST test or have basic 2D output. It easily makes sense for some people to budget more into a GPU and save money on the CPU. On AM5 the 7500F at around $150 is a great deal to get...

    Alice: Madness Returns

    Lame. I remember editing the .ini many years ago when the game was new, but pretty sure I only did 60 as 60hz monitors was what I had. Just delete the entire .ini file and have Steam verify game files. Will prevent needing to uninstall/reinstall the entire game.
