Greetings.
I'm looking to setup a better network for my home, and I've been trying to think of the best way to do it. Here are a couple options I came up with:
1. Use my DD-WRT flashed WRT54GL router for the firewall and wifi, creating two VLANs: one for production and one for the Cisco stuff I'd like to play with. I'd use a Server 03 box for DCHP and possibly as a domain controller.
2. Build a firewall from an mini itx system. I'd like this to be very small and quiet.
3. Just leave the DD-WRT in charge and use it for everything (FW, DHCP, etc).
My purpose for most of this is to build a network that I can learn on. Any suggestions or help is appreciated.
