Very nice! Let me know what you think of the AC3200. I don't often use WiFi at home, but when I do I need it to work better than my ISP's modem is capable of.
Will do!

Hmm. I really do need to invest in a backup drive for local backups.
Isn't that what RAID is for? Geez man
I should have added, at home to that. We have local and offsite backup for the place I work.
I have local back my office backup is a mix of google drive, gmail, and owncloud haha. Yeah I know it's not that good of a plan.

Why did you get a consumer grade AP at that price?

Isn't the Unifi AP AC the same price?

I've seen these things in action. Amazing routers!

Yep. I Just got a freebie sent. So I should be posting a review on that one soon.

Lucky you. Look forward to seeing that. I use a AP LR at my house and that has been working phenomenally.

I was unlucky first to get it. http://mangolassi.it/topic/4457/disappointed-with-aerohive

I too was wondering why you went consumer instead of UBNT? Sure a EdgeRouter Lite and AP AC would be a bit more... but it's 'doing IT' at home instead of consumer.

I get a decent discount on these, so it would have been more than you might think. I also didn't think of it tbh...

He has an ESXi server at home so he could put a virtual router in at no extra cost. That's what I use is a router on one of my esxi hosts. Had been pfsense for years but I switched to sophos more recently.

Do you have multiple NICs in your home box?

I've tried that. It didn't work well for me.

Yep. I just put in a PCI card NIC. Since it's a desktop. If it was a real power edge or something you wouldn't have to. You could technically bring the wan in over a vlan if you use a managed switch at home but I'm honestly not to fond of that idea which is why I don't do it.

Good to know. I need to do this, my home router hasn't been the most stable of late.

@coliver External HDs are great for home backups provided your pipes never burst, you never have a fire, or a lightning strike, or a power problem, or a curious kid.
We use MozyPRO at home. Individual file restores are comparable our previous external HD.

Note that Google Drive Sync is NEVER a backup solution.

Well the folder I use is only for backups. I don't actively use anything in there so in my case it is. I also manually upload it. We are talking about home use here.

I use Backblaze for my offsite solution. I was just thinking for immediate file recovery.
