This thread will contain Links to my project threads as I make them.
The goal is to learn and keep things all together while I'm learning so I can reference back.

Project 1
PFSense Routing Vm's -
Great to get 2-3 UBNT or MicroTik style devices and do stuff physically, too. Not free, but cheaper than most anything else. Used is fine. Sometimes you can get this stuff for free if it is old enough and for a lab... routing hasn't changed in forever.

That's one of the things I have written down to do in the future.

I’m doing that with a friend and his kid- it’s older UBNT and other gear- but it give a 10yo something to start with.

What have they retired? That would be the only thing that matters on using older machine - the possibility that some newer commands aren't there.

I will be upgrading my UniFi hardware. So I have two APs that I am replacing. the Controller is a VM still.
I also had a project build of a Stand alone Point to Point wireless network for our Club. It's two UBNT M5 units and two EnGenius EAP9550 units One running DHCP, and the other a slave. The idea was that when we did a contest (Field Day) we could be across a 400yard area, and it would be nice to have internet / network for file sharing and such. I built it, it worked - and no one was interested in it. So - I'll be giving it all to him for his kid to learn on - tear up - etc....
