Profit! Well, imo it is. :D

The ROI calculation I use for a situation like this is time. If you're literally going to save half of your time with 2.5Gb vs 1Gb speeds, then it's just a matter of how much time and the dollar/other value of that time with that time applied elsewhere. For example, if an upgrade will save...

Yep, if it's not maxed out constantly shouldn't be a problem. That's the game that hasn't been played in switches for a long time though, a long time...

It can do quite a number of things but the constraint is always the ram and the processor as it's not a full blown computer. But for small things like what you're using it for already, it's great. It can also be used as an NVR depending on how many cameras and licensing. And you can always...

Well, in the review, STH found that it wouldn't even hit 40Gb max aggregate throughput, so this particular switch is limited if you expect (20+20+16*2.5) 80Gb switching capability. So in reality it's good for half of what it should be able to do at half the price, lol. The chinese games are...

Known brands have a rep to protect so they have some sort of quality assurance because the chinese will cheat if you don't watch them like a hawk. The no name brands could care less once their product starts selling--case in point were all those cheap 1TB SSDs that in reviews had the same...

This is always a concern with stuff like this and the STH review even talks about it. But for some people, price is king or the risk is acceptable so I posted it as a deal because it is if you don't have concerns.

I'm sure this is more a reflection of what's available in the market vs what they would want to push. It's good to have someone with some integrity looking at the swath of these things being dumped onto the market. They actually even acknowledge the potential for security issues and did...

Stole this from the STH forum even though I'm not a fan of no-name chinese switches: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CT2F3ZDM?linkCode=sl1&tag=servecom-20&linkId=e29acf911eabaaace36969206a2fa2ca&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl&th=1 "...back on Amazon and a 23% off coupon. With the coupon...

Ultra cool listing where the seller goes into the history of the card and how it came into his possession. I'm actually trying to print it to a PDF because even as a document, this is really cool.

MF scammers--kill them all!

What I've always wondered is what about automotive coolants and additives like redline water wetter?

You're welcome! I hope it has served you well! But unfortunately, me helping others is also what brought in the sharks. :( Technically, scalping is against the outlet terms of service, but sales people that these people have connections with could care less. I've been a customer since the...

Was just so curious I had to ask even though I didn't need it. :D

Not to mention how well enterprise APs like ones from Ruckus do with the 'old' standards. If you have one of these, you're getting speeds closer to theoretical maximum vs the marketing maximum with consumer stuff.

You have an answer to this in the other thread.

There used to always be more until the scalpers started taking everything. :mad: I was looking at some 16GB DDR3 SODIMMs to upgrade some old laptops that can use them. There were 30 in stock, and as soon as the price dropped low enough--all 30 are gone. :mad: I'm sure the scalpers will put these...

Still nuts ime and imo.

Low or full profile?

Yep, if MEI is the issue, then just disable it--problem solved. Also make sure WOL is off on all NICs.

NICE!!!

Great to hear the memories of experiences like this. Without posts like yours, the history of these devices will vanish as there's nothing in print that will stand the test of time offline.

Scalpers going to scalp! :mad:

While I haven't personally used Ruckus, I've read so many good things about them. Two others to look at are some HP Aruba ones and the Oneida (sp?) series from tplink as I've read good things on them as well.

Did you post the part number already? I thought I remember checking but can't remember...lol...

Yep, that Harley Quinn-esqe nymph definitely had me...oh the card! Yes, the card! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

That plug is common on PDU units on rack mount servers. Shouldn't be much harder to find than the usual power plug in the event you need to replace it. (y) I checked out the thread and apparently that's a 'C19' or 'C20' plug vs the usual 'C13/14'.

Beautiful compared to my mess--but you know, it doesn't work any faster if 'pretty' so function > form any day of the week :D

Not the speed, but definitely the price for 32GB: https://hardforum.com/threads/fs-crucial-pcie-internal-ssd-500gb-and-ddr4-2600-2x-16gb.2034385/

I would reach out to the OP with what you're looking for--you never know--can't hurt to ask.

And most everything is over http now days, so unless you're using some legacy stuff like telnet or ftp, you won't see many other ports being used.

When I was first messing with the old foritgate 60c that I have, I couldn't get anything to reach the outside. Until I realized that unlike consumer 'all open' defaults, this is 'all closed'.

Yeah they are solid bang for buck. I've even been tempted to pick up a spare or two since our original M200 hardware is on the fritz. I've got some spare parts to fix it, but haven't had the time. Just keep all the ports closed (like you would for any consumer router) and it should be fine...

I think the problem is that the laptops are connecting directly to your printer via wifi vs to your wifi that's connected to the printer. Hence why your desktop won't work. What you really need is a wifi to ethernet bridge so that you can add a port to the printer and then it just connects...

I actually use one of these at a site--uses nowhere near that much power even with 2x wans and over 100 devices on the lan. Plus, implementing blocking per ip or subnet or whatever you want is gui easy. It's actually what I used to implement blocks for all our nas units that I only want to see...

Usually the warranty is also a tell-tale sign. With 10yrs, they're typically not going to crap it out without first changing the warranty or basically stop honoring it. Time will tell how overbuilt it is, but generally all 10yr warranty class power supplies are the good stuff and last.

And remember the game that these players all play--make something good so they have good reviews and start selling. Then bait and switch with lower quality units once they start selling en masse. It's a frequent and very successful scam.

Some brands require this for basic functions, but most don't so you get a lot of routing power and flexibility over anything consumer even in bone stock form.

Can't you hard wire the printer? Then you can just set up a powerline network and everyone can access the printer via your normal wifi (which I'm assuming everything that needs to can currently access)
