Okay so about 3 years ago I had an Electrician install a 240v line into my basement so I could use 240v tools and also run all my PC/electronics off 240v. My understanding it is 2x120v 20amp lines combined to create 240v 20amp, which I need. My buddy thinks its out of phase and not installed...

there was a high-quality router that was like PFsense that you could buy. I am having a brainfart on what the router was called. Blue? or something? It beat the Netgear and it was super high end. If you were not building a pf sense this was what you wanted to buy.
