What Router Are You Using For Your Computer

I use an RGB head crab.
 
I have an Arris NVG599 provided by ATT for the 1GB service. It does about 950MB up & down, so I'm happy with it.
 
Some box that TalkTalk (my ISP) gave me. There are no fancy gigabit, not even 100 Mbps connections here in the Great British Midlands (Badlands?), so there's really no point using anything else.
 
Ubiquiti Cloud Gateway Max (all ports 2,5Gbit)
Ubiquiti Pro Max 24 PoE switch (16x PoE+ 1Gbit, 8x 2,5Gbit PoE++)
Flex 10 GbE for the servers upstairs
3x U7 Pro Wall AP's

I presume you have 1 of 2 white onts in the photo? Which 1?

AT&T are replacing those units with these type of Gateways Which I believe combines the ONT with the gateway.

2 Wire was AT&Ts Original Uverse Modem/Gateway then they had Motorolla which sold off to Arris and brought along Pace.

The Gray ONT above was back in 2013 and it was either a BPON or GPON and had to use a 2 Wire on the BPON and a Arris on the GPON, Ive seen 2wire on GPON though.
 
I still have the internal ONT (fiber) on the wall behind my TV stand. If the Arris fails again I will ask for the more modern replacement with integrated ONT instead of another refurb modem. It would be nice to get rid of the ONT & free up a receptacle on the power strip.
 
Asus ROG Strix GS AX3000
 
Core network:
Celestica d2020 48x SFP+ 4x QSFP+
POE switches:
Juniper EX 4200-48T
Mokerlink POE-G084GS
Wifi:
Dlink DIR-890L
TPlink AXE16000 - has one SFP+ uplink

I also have Mellanox 4036 but it only does Inifiniband, so not using it at the moment. Need to get 40-100 Gb Ethernet capable switch. Instead I just daisy chained nodes with 40Gb QSFP+ cards, I only have a few.
 
is that cavity for a backup battery?
No it's for a USB based cellular connection if you choose to use that for failover purposes and the 10G WAN from the Nokia ONT
I would have like the rest of the 4x1000Mbps RJ45 ports to have been atleast 2.5Gb but it was free so I'm not complaining to hard out about it
It works well for my connection luckily I have a 10Gb NIC and I use the only 10Gb LAN port everything else in the house uses the 2400Mbps 802.11AX wifi connection which is basically just my TV and my Phone
 
Now an older model Synology RT2600AC. The must trouble free router I've ever had and plenty of features, easy to setup. Very affordable at $150 when on sale. Was using what was once a $300 AC3100 ASUS router until that built-in Microtrend update killed it even if I wasn't using that feature. While I was able to eventually recover the ASUS router by rewriting the flash update that incident pissed me off to no end so I replaced it.

Still using an RT-N66U. Almost 10 years old...
 
N100 NUC sourced from aliexpress for pfSense firewall.
Netgear WAX206 as main switch and main AP running OpenWRT.
Archer C7 as secondary switch and secondary AP running OpenWRT.

I still have RT-N66R in operation as well which I guess was a BestBuy or retail model. Working like a champ and about as old. Having a router last so long is amazing (other than the lack of security updates) as I've had many others die after 3 to 5 years. I held on to this one because it did 1Gbit over the WAN so it was somewhat useful for building a poor mans vlan.

Yeah, RT-N66R is the Best Buy model. Literally nothing different about it, other than the model number. Any custom firmware for RT-N66U will work on RT-N66R.
 
I have the
  • RT-AC68U
and the
  • RT-AC68R
the first has a faster CPU, so I assume the same may be true for the RT-N66U and RT-N66R
 
Technicolor DWA1230.
 
My router Tp-link archer be800!
the best device in my entire life!

router? I just let the information fly through the air and grab it

A Gigabyte B75M motherboard with an I3-3220T running some form of 'sense' OS. For efficiency I feed 12V from the system PSU to power the ISP router/modem.

I don't like IoT devices being on my LAN and, let's be honest, VPN management and running additional services on the same box is much easier than trying to hack a router you don't own and has settings you can't change.

MikroTik RB2011iLS-IN, no Wi-Fi.
 
ASUS RT-AX88U for my fiber optic internet connection. It is nice.

And another 5G router (Mikrotik chateau_5g_ax). I utilize this when I go to my hometown as I have unlimited data package and wanted to use a twin sim card in this 5G router and thus have fast internet without paying for an extra line. I get like 500 Mbps which is good for something that is kinda of free.
