Evening all,
Having finally lost all faith in Draytek I have decided to seek a replacement.
I run a fairly large home and small office network, with about 40 devices inc 8 IP phones, a bunch of IP cameras, IoT, network with RADIUS authentication, guest network, multiple AP's etc. 2 ISP's come into the building - a slow ADSL service and a faster WISP service. the 2850 load-balances between them both, with critical services such as VoIP always set to run over the ADSL.
Draytek were once a rock solid brand. However I have had no end of trouble with the 2860 over the last few months with constant crashes and reboots. I'l also sick to death of having to reboot the device on the slightest changes in config. Having just had the thing get itself into a reboot loop this afternoon for an hour, bringing the whole network down, I have lost patience.
Good QoS functionality and reporting is essential, as is an in-built RADIUS server and VLANs. I have a spare modem for the ADSL service, so it is not important to have one built in.
A number if years back when I was looking after IT for a small voluntary organisation, I built and configured a powerful pfsense box with multiple ISP connections, LANs VPN's etc. The functionality and stability were awesome! However, whilst I would love to do the same here, I just don't have the time at the moment and simply need an off-the-shelf solution that works! (and most critically is stable)
Cost is not an issue (within reason).
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Dan
