Hi,

I’ve been trying to work out my network architecture with the pieces i have today:

  • isp box with 10gig dac downlink, 4 ssd bays
  • pfsense box with dual 10gig dac card
  • switch with 10gig dac uplink and multi gig rj45
  • main proxmox host
  • other devices (laptops, iot…)

ive ran into a dilemma regarding switching my isp box to bridge mode:

  • if i do, i lose wlan and nas capabilities
  • if i dont, i have to contend with double nat

i’m sure that eventually i will get an ap (maybe unifi) and a dedicated nas (either home built or something like synology or asustore), but for the moment, i want to keep cost down and gradually add new pieces

i was wondering if double nat is of huge performance and maintenance implications, or if i would be okay running this setup for a few months until i get to add an ap and nas?

thank you

its advertised as 10gbps but other people with the same box managed to get 8gbps during synthetic tests. not too shabby

ill checkout those APs, do you have any specific models or other brands you would recommend? i’d be interested in 5Ghz (mayybe 6Ghz) and vlans by ssid (802.1 something 😂)

thanks man

Using unifi with that setup, 4 vlans for 4 ssids, I’m fine with it, but I think there’ll be some hate here for anything unifi nowadays.

Worked on some of the chips they used, I like the way they rolled, but agree, they’re moving towards the dark side.

Can you tell us what ISP is, and what’s the router brand and model? Even better add pictures? Seems like some Altice owned ISP.
