For ~$50 more you could buy a small Sophos UTM.
Never, ever, buy a UTM, from any vendor. I hate the entire concept of putting everything in a single device.
@johnhooks said:
Or save money like Scott said and get all ubiquiti.
No. This listed device contains an AC chip. It is impossible to do this with Ubiquiti and be cheaper. The lowest I have ever seen their UAP-AC go for is $250.

The perfect home setup is:
1) Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X
http://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-EdgeRouter-Advanced-Gigabit-Ethernet/dp/B00YFJT29C/2) Ubiquiti Networks UniFi AP
http://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Networks-UniFi-Enterprise-System/dp/B004XXMUCQ/3) TP-LINK TL-SG108E 8-Port Gigabit Easy Smart Switch
http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-SG108E-8-Port-Gigabit-Tag-Based/dp/B00K4DS5KU/This is a solid home user setup alright as long as you do not need/want the AC functionality.
I will have to remember that TP-Link switch, though. That is a nice price point for the feature set.

I am a big believer in being wired whenever possible.
I fall in this camp. Wired performance will always be better than wireless.

Like a hypervisor?

No, like a UTM in your router.

not sure what you mean. How does a hypervisor put lots of things on one device?

Multiple vms on one physical device, unless you have HA.

That is not even close to the same thing and being intentionally obtuse about the discussion.

Physical device is not the same as mixing code or functions in a single container. Hypervisor also does not imply running multiple VMs, only hardware abstraction. HA doesn't change anything that I can tell, not sure what you were meaning by that.

I was assuming he meant it was a single point of failure, which is why I said that.

No, it's about mixing workloads. There is a lot of value to "do one thing, do it well." UTMs don't do this. Everything is mashed onto one box. Rather like people throwing every little workload onto a NAS. It isn't designed for that.

Oh OK. Makes sense. Sorry @JaredBusch I wasn't trying to be a jerk, I promise.

Ha like Synology putting web servers and DNS servers on their NAS units?

Yeah, but all of them in that general category do it too. None of them advise it, all of them allow it.

Not a single one I have seen takes it as far as Synology though.

They do get pretty extreme with it.

Haha this is too far?
-
ReadyNAS has an awful lot too.

@johnhooks Oh good grief I thought you had all that installed on yours for a sec and I almost wept for your users lol
