Network Security Key On Spectrum Router

I first heard about the ER-X on the Security Now podcast and then after purchasing it, heard a few more people talk about it on other infosec podcasts.� It was easy to setup, and I like the UI quite a bit.� I did have to look online and in the manual to determine how to accomplish a couple different tasks.� My only desire, and this is no fault of Ubiquiti, is that I would have purchased the 8 port router.� 5 is not enough for my home network.� I am not a power user per se but I did need to setup DCHP reservations and do some basic monitoring of network traffic both of which were easy to do.� I would definitely recommend this router to anyone looking for something more robust than your standard big box store router.

We use this product to hold up the household network router and the wireless security system. With the recent earthquakes in California that could be felt in Las Vegas, we were glad to have the ability to know that our security system would be working even if the utility power was interrupted. This is a great product that is produced by a great company.

I have the Spectrum Gig network. The upload speed is much better now with this modem.

This router is a great router combo at an affordable cost. Works well with Spectrum!

Probably the best router to future proof your network.

The Cloud Key G2+ is a must have for any UniFi Network installations. We currently use it to monitor and manage the network, UnFi surveillance cameras, and our UniFi Door Access system. I love this thing and B&H is my go-to for just about anything electronic.

After using the Synology Router for two days I realized something... Synology's strategy for making a router is simple.. instead of making 19 different routers like Netgear or ASUS with often overlapping features, making you wonder which one to buy they decided on a simple strategy: Make ONE router and make it be VERY good. And they deliverer with their product. I get WiFi transfer speeds of up to 600Mbit/s on a 1G Ethernet service line. The router also has adaptive security management that can monitor and block any suspicious traffic from NAT STUN to privilege escalations to pretty much any hack you can think of and those security databases are updated regularly so you always have the latest security scan updates. You can combine this with the MR2200ac mesh router and have whole-home network coverage. Synology absolutely created a Ferrari of a router at a Chevy price point.

The Synology RT2600AC was well reviewed on SmallNetBuilder. Already having a positive experience with Synology NAS I decided to give this relative newcomer to routers a chance to replace a failing ASUS RT-N66U. The Synology router has been running for two weeks with 24 clients, mostly Internet access and some HD (but not 4K) streaming. Positives: - Wi-fi range and throughput are beyond satisfactory. Router is on lower level in one corner of house. Two stories above on the opposite corner the signal strength and throughput is excellent, despite having to travel through multiple walls, HVAC system, plumbing and a dozen electrical circuits. - 2.4-to-5Ghz switching has been seamless. Router does a good job transferring connections to the optimal band. - Even with the Intrusion Detection turned on, there are no network performance issues (as others have reported). - If you are familiar with Synology DSM for their NAS line, the router SRM is easy to navigate, update and install packages. - Good visual reporting. Easy to determine which clients and what software is consuming most/least bandwidth. - Router software and settings are security focused. Accounts disabled by default. Easy to lock down individual clients. Good logging. Includes a basic Intrusion Detection service (which takes the place of a separate hardware/service typically needed). Easy to setup alerts. Synology appears to be taking patching seriously, with a set of updates each of the past few months. Built-in security check to advise of settings that are not optimal for security. - While not the least expensive wireless router out there, the value is solid for the performance and feature set. Cons: - Need USB thumb drive for logging; maximum 2GB of logs. - SRM is still maturing. The GUI is inconsistent, sometimes allowing sorting or editing, other time not-- for the same fields. Takes a longer time to restart than other systems. Nothing bug, but a few edges do need polishing.

This works beautifully in my redone network with all UniFi switching and a UDM-Pro for routing, network, and camera management. I already had the older version of this switch, a few Flex mini switches, and several UniFi access points, when I decided to go all in on UniFi switching (and a router). I was running a UCKG2+ for Network and Protect so I setup up the three new switches with it first before exporting the configuration and importing into a new UniFi Dream Machine Pro (UDM-P), which also replaced my Netgear R6250 router. This and the two new UniFi Lite 16-Port PoE+ switches adopted easily to the UCKG2+ and then transferred to the UDM-P - once I remembered to remove them from the UCKG2+ - which was in the network at the same time briefly. UniFi Network is able to draw an accurate diagram now - attached.

I upgraded my router from spectrum base model to this lovely nighthawk.. I was noticing lagging and traffic usage was slowing my spectrum router down.. the nighthawk router help my speeds by 200 mps but lowered my ping and can use all my devices without lag spikes! Most get in modem and routers
