+1 on the Ubiquiti Infinity.. I've used a number of them in various roles.. Linux based and have had 1 hardware failure after a couple years. Try to keep bridging to a minimum as it'll eat the processor, but for routed traffic, no issues. /rh On Mon, May 13, 2024 at 11:56 AM Tom Samplonius

There are LOTS of small business that have .us domains. I've got several that just use these domains as well as locality specific things such as schools or towns that use them rather than the longer ones supplied to municipal entities. /rh On Thu, Nov 2, 2023 at 1:34 PM goemon--- via NANOG

YMMV... but most of the CPE routers I've seen lately have icmp turned off by default, so you'll be messing with settings in the customer router. Do you provide the router? Also agree with Baldur, 2 minutes... is more than likely the customer router rebooting itself or something like that. If

I've had no issues with their gear and have used the NE40/80 routers, some of the switching gear and some FTTP, NE40e will do full tables. US support is in Texas and has been good. Mostly my experience with Huawei support has been that I don't need it. Once you get over the learning curve.. it

I run/manage the networks for several smallish (in the thousands of customers) eyeball ISP's and I appreciate a nice "hey you've got a bot" or "someone is scanning" me notice to my abuse emails. They are useful in identifying crap that's going on, so for those of you who have the resources to do

FWIW, as I'm in the middle of this right now. It would appear that many of the less expensive registrars no longer support glue records in any meaningful way. They all expect you to host DNS with them. So might want to check on that before buying the cheapest and hosting your own DNS. /rh On
