What Are You Doing Right Now

I am sure that I could go either way and be 'spot on' there are some things that I feel that I should do that the EdgeMax may not be able to do.
One thing is QoS for the phone, and then split the network, one side for the office, the other for the kids. I want to ensure that I don't get throttled due to their watching videos or Netflix.

@g.jacobse The EdgeRouters should be able to do all that if you use the cli

Been to the doctor and back, to much water here! Took forever getting to work. Got here at noon, that's a good time to start work, right?

It's interesting and good but, not more powerful. Pfsense has a lot more options and the ability to scale much larger than the EdgeRouters.
In theory sure, it can scale huge if you are putting in on serious hardware. But who needs to scale past a GigE connection at home? It's like getting a Ferrari to drive around town - it's no faster than my Opal Corsa when the speed limit is 40kph.

These aren't just things it CAN do, they are features that they specialize in and specifically tout as strong points!

Yikes, PSU tested good?
Wish I had a way to test it at the moment. Nothing on hand. Recommend any good testers?
Decent auto-ranging digital multimeter will test just about anything power related. Highly recommend, but using it is more involved (finding correct color for voltage, etc). After that, they have some time saving ATX cable testers you can get for cheap too (limited to ATX / whatever moulded cable ends it comes with - not future proof, not custom PSU connector compatible, also not server friendly in some cases.

Any $40+ multimeter will do, if you can splurge get a Fluke (I would make sweet love to my Fluke, it's saved my life before, they're several hundred bucks.)

I've got a decent multi-meter at the house. I will bring it in and see if I can't figure out how to confirm the correct voltages.

Best to test it while it's under load (actually running the computer) as this will make it work hard, possibly showing the fault (ex: 12v rail reading 12v while no load, 10v under load)
Cheat sheet:
To get the PSU to power up you can jump two pins, forget what they are but this will help with that and testing. Use a junk psu first, play around with it.

Just keep in mind testing with a multimeter doesn't check that the PSU is handling the amperage. or that the PSU is keeping voltage up under load (assuming you aren't measuring in line).

wait, what? Medicaid somehow affects your job at NTG?

No, at my NP job. I'm just interning at NTG........at the moment. Maybe someday I will work for them.
I was teasing btw, it's just been a long few days.
