      Go with keep it simple. That always helps.

      Forexample, I am forcing my dad to use double NAT at the moment, because I am crashing at his place for another week and I needed my network up like normal.
      So I stuck my ERL directly on his fiber connection and then plugged his netgear into my switch behind the ERL.

      Since all that they do on it is surf the web and use their tablets they do not even notice what I did and it keeps their network simple and normal while also letting me have my normal network. When I unplug everything next Monday, they will not even know the difference.

      I do the exact same thing, also with an ERL, when I crash with my brother in law.

        It took me a moment to realize:

        Edge Router Lite -

        Yes,.. Keep it simple.

        And @JaredBusch - You'll get your comeuppance you 'frog' 😄 Though I am a bit envious of that speed..

          Do you know why you have two firewalls today?

          Is there any equipment between the two firewalls?

          This dual firewall setup is one form of DMZ (demilitarized Zone) setup. Traditionally you place servers that need to provide access to the outside world in the middle zone between the networks.

          Though I'm not sure if this is considered common anymore? I normally see a single router with (at least

          Still common in Datacenters though it's virtual routers mostly these days.

            What are you going to miss? That is common here, if not higher. Heck I can nearly get that on my phone with ATT.

              The download maybe but I doubt your upload is symmetrical

                And that is pretty good latency too.

                  That's true, but unless he's uploading tons of stuff that probably doesn't matter.

                  and my ping times generally match this, depending on whom I'm testing against.

                    Well my dad, certainly does not even need the speed package he has.

                    I do upload ISO files quite often from home to remote servers and such. So, while not critical, something this is very welcome.

                      Do you need to keep those ISOs local to you? If not, you could store them in ODfB or Google Drive, etc and then copy them through a webbrowser at those hosted solutions upload speed, regardless of where you are.

                        I could. That would require me to get (and stay) more organized.
