First of all a huge thanks to all of you for publishing your build details, I wouldn't have budged if it weren't for you.
Long story short, I considered going with pfsense, you sold me on Sophos for securing my network.
Actual installation:
ISP on RJ11 >> TPlink Archer D5 adsl modem router providing Dual band wireless and LAN >> NAS and wireless clients
future build:
Fanless Shuttle DS57U celeron 3205U barebone ( Shuttle Europe: Spécification )
Lan: intel NIC i211 & i218LM
1X 8 Gb RAM HyperX Impact HX316LS9IB/8 1600MHz DDR3L CL9 SODIMM
120 SSD SANDISK
( I will be installing through DP link instead of HDMI thanks to this thread https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/astaroorg/f/52/t/29797 )
I intend on using the TPLink Archer D5 in AP mode for wired and wireless, so setup wold be like:
ISP on RJ11 >> ??? >> UTM on bare metal DS57U >> TPlink Archer D5 in AP mode
As you imagine, the "???" is my question: all the builds i could see have an ISP modem providing an RJ45 WAN connection to the UTM appliance. Can I forego the modem part and connect directly to the isp WAN through a RJ11 to RJ45 adapter and through an connection interface through UTM?
ISP on RJ11 >> RJ11 to RJ45 adpter >> UTM on bare metal DS57U >> TPlink Archer D5 in AP mode >> NAS and wireless clients
Is there another solution?
Internet service is a mere 4 down/0,2 up PPPoE LLC ATM: VPI/VCI 8/35
The hardware is currently being shipped and I can't wait to get my hands on it to give it a try [:D]
