But I also wouldn't run in an enterprise capacity. Cisco licensing is getting.... better. I got us on an EA agreement and it's making annual renewals a lot easier. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] expletivedeleted@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 weeks ago I would rather just get a $100 brocade off eBay. Ubiquiti edge routers (at least four years ago) were nice but good god: don't let them lose power. Fortunately, the router runs off a thumb drive, but when you are trying to fix a network that is in production and the FNG figures he can just power cycle it like Comcast taught him with his router at home.... fml. Especially on a WAN (like ISP), it is a fucking nightmare. I have found Sophos and Netgate to be good solutions for small businesses, except setting VLANs on Netgate is a pain, but so is setting a VPN on Sophos. And Sophos is also a licensing bitch. permalink fedilink source parent [–] fyzzlefry@retrolemmy.com 2 points 3 weeks ago I loved Cambium, buuuuut they just got fucked. permalink fedilink source parent
