How's the power quality in your area? I've had to buy the fancy online (power always comes from the battery) types of UPSs before because the incoming power was so dirty.

Thinks like the washer, dryer, dishwasher I don’t care so much about.
The network and computers on the other hand,… I care more about. The whole stack is on a managed UPS. Albeit not the best cabling anymore but the cable modem, router, 16port switch, POE for the AP, and something else are all on a UPS.
I am going to replace the ERL with something,… since the ERL line has changed….. it was singing or screaming so power was an issue…. And then I had to drop it….. but atm- it’s running in a similar volt/amp psu.

Pains me to say - I may be going 'consumer grade' for a router as I now find that my 16port switch is lost as well.
This is due to cost and turn around.

You can still find 16 port switches for reasonable cost, they're just harder to find. I recently got a 16 port PoE TPLink switch from Amazon that wasn't overpriced or impossible to actually get.
Why would you consider consumer grade routers? At the very least, you can get ER-X from MicroCenter. There are a few other quality options around that are better than consumer c*** now as well.

being tired and apparently sick - my sarcasm is not the greatest. twenty minutes to walk down a flight of stairs.... and I have to turn around and walk back up...I think I'll just go back to bed..

Going back to bed sounds like a winning idea to me! Get to feeling better!

@nadnerB Haven't had that much bad luck with them as switches goes and they have lasted more than Dell and HP for us.

Good morning, it's coffee time here.

When other people have bought TP-Link kit, it's been pretty good.
At work (pre-merger) we had some things that APs, switch etc, they seemed to keep going.
Opposite story at home I've had, i think I'm up to, 3 DOA modem routers, and one that was dieing a slow death. IMO, I have bad luck with TP-Link, so I've stopped buying their stuff.Other people don't seem to have the issue.

Any of their home gear (routers, modems, etc) is generally trash.
Switches and enterprise gear is much better.
I've heard good things about their Omada products as well, but haven't used any yet myself.

May have been in stock then, but looking for edge-router, edgerouter, er-x returns no results. select Ubiquiti and it only lists three models.

Where did everyone go?

monday morning - switching my days off this week to help cover desk - get Thursday off!
I'm going to need a lot more coffee -
Monday Morning indeed.. I am still recovering from being sick and lost of 60% of my network. .. New switch came in so that is replaced and now got more back. I feel I still need and will replace the router but need to find the right one as what I have been looking at - isn't available or available at a respectable price.
Work wise is a mess.. Onboard day, I'm still out 'sick' and a contractor was scheduled to do electrical / networking work... so our already limited staff has been overly pushed.
I really am looking for something else... this place is a disaster ...
