Greetings I'm in a similar situation - - - they're dragging in fiber out in the country. Its being worked on at this point so I'm not connected yet but soon I hope. Lennart - - - you're talking about connecting direct to your firewall (likely an appliance). I've acquired a mini pc (like the intel nucs), a second mini pc that I will be dropping likely pfsense (firewall) on and also a managed switch. I got this equipment idea from reading recommendations for businesses. Besides less equipment - - - - is there any other advantages to only running a firewall and then your home lan?
