And here i am super happy about 2 days ago redoing my entire home network… on ipv4 still. Had Orbi for about 8 years now, and it’s getting outdated. My job is actually in networking, and we recently were throwing away tons of equipment, so I was able to grab brand new Cisco unmanaged 24 port business switch and a fortigate firewall that’s way overkill for me.

I definitely notice a difference, and it’s amazing. The biggest gain has been my ability to stream my 4k movies now without stutter. One day I’ll attempt ipv6…
