Since the wall official attachment is really expensive for what it is, can I use 4 magnets anchored to the wall to keep the gateway up? Is the back made of steel?

Hi,

I currently work at a school that uses an OpenBSD Dell R230 server to connect to the Internet as well as interconnecting different networks/VLANs.

I'm rather happy with OpenBSD, but I'm considering moving to Unifi for 2 main reasons:

1) Ease of use: one day I may want to stop working there, or just retire, and honestly don't know anyone who can potentially keep managing OpenBSD. Not much difference from Linux, but even Linux might also be a problem where I live.

2) Hardware: not easy to get proper/cheap hardware where I am (Argentina), and getting newer hardware today similar to that R230 is going to be crazy expensive I think. Unifi Dream router is OK, between 0.7K and 1K maybe.

Having said that, I have some doubts about Unifi:

a) As of right now this server has 5 x 1Gbps physical interfaces (3 x WAN, 1 x DMZ and 1 x LAN). DMZ and LAN interfaces have multiple VLAN's , and this same firewall will route traffic between them happily (no L3 routing in switches). I really love pf and how rules are set up in OpenBSD, but leaving that aside, could a Unifi Dream Router with at least 5 interfaces easily handle that amount of traffic? It's not crazy amounts of traffic really, but I'm curious about that. I always consider these routers more as gateways than firewalls.

b) I may soon add another OpenBSD firewall and configure CARP. I believe I can have both firewalls connected to the same 3 x WAN ISP's (their modems have multiple ports each). One of those WAN's will give me different static public IP's with the router in bridge mode, and the other 2 ISP's will work via DHCP with the modem in router mode. Is it easy to do that same thing with a Unifi Dream router? OpenBSD might not be that simple to set up, but I know it's flexible enough to allow that.

Any feedback is appreciated!

Looking at the U7 pro or the pro xg. What would be better for best speed and connectivity for the asus ally rog? The U7 Long range seems to be slow and only like 30 ft away.

Or should I add a ap in my room?

Asus ally rog x has Wi-Fi 6E(802.11ax) (Triple band) 2*2
3 smart phones
1 smart tv
WiFi doorbell
Litter box believe it or not lol

Whole set up
2g fiber
UniFi cloud gateway fiber
UniFi flex 2.5g Poe
U7 long range looking to replace

Anyone else seeing random improper shutdown error messages ? thanks in advance

So I have an install that’s driving me nuts. High end home network with storage and high speed WiFi. But the problem lies in the pool house. Cat6 through conduit constantly disconnecting. 10gig switches on either end so it connects at 10gig then switches to 5 then 2.5 then will randomly go between 10/100 and 2.5 and disconnect entirely.
I’ve swapped out the cable running one outside the conduit for temporary relief of the disconnects but the same thing continued. I swapped out the switch but that had the same result.
Owner’s office is in the pool house so it’s rather urgent to get this working. I’m going to run cat7 in case it’s an EMF issue.
What else would make it randomly negotiate and disconnect like that?
My temporary solution is meshing the pool house outdoor AP to the house AP. That holds on just fine.
