I have an Arris NVG599 provided by ATT for the 1GB service. It does about 950MB up & down, so I'm happy with it.

Some box that TalkTalk (my ISP) gave me. There are no fancy gigabit, not even 100 Mbps connections here in the Great British Midlands (Badlands?), so there's really no point using anything else.

I presume you have 1 of 2 white onts in the photo? Which 1?

AT&T are replacing those units with these type of Gateways Which I believe combines the ONT with the gateway.

Screen-Shot-2020-06-29-at-9.39.38-AM-2820013068.png



2 Wire was AT&Ts Original Uverse Modem/Gateway then they had Motorolla which sold off to Arris and brought along Pace.

The Gray ONT above was back in 2013 and it was either a BPON or GPON and had to use a 2 Wire on the BPON and a Arris on the GPON, Ive seen 2wire on GPON though.

I still have the internal ONT (fiber) on the wall behind my TV stand. If the Arris fails again I will ask for the more modern replacement with integrated ONT instead of another refurb modem. It would be nice to get rid of the ONT & free up a receptacle on the power strip.

TPlink AXE16000 - has one SFP+ uplink

I also have Mellanox 4036 but it only does Inifiniband, so not using it at the moment. Need to get 40-100 Gb Ethernet capable switch. Instead I just daisy chained nodes with 40Gb QSFP+ cards, I only have a few.

Benchmark Scores it sucks even more less now ;)
is that cavity for a backup battery?
No it's for a USB based cellular connection if you choose to use that for failover purposes and the 10G WAN from the Nokia ONT
I would have like the rest of the 4x1000Mbps RJ45 ports to have been atleast 2.5Gb but it was free so I'm not complaining to hard out about it
It works well for my connection luckily I have a 10Gb NIC and I use the only 10Gb LAN port everything else in the house uses the 2400Mbps 802.11AX wifi connection which is basically just my TV and my Phone

Now an older model Synology RT2600AC. The must trouble free router I've ever had and plenty of features, easy to setup. Very affordable at $150 when on sale. Was using what was once a $300 AC3100 ASUS router until that built-in Microtrend update killed it even if I wasn't using that feature. While I was able to eventually recover the ASUS router by rewriting the flash update that incident pissed me off to no end so I replaced it.

I still have RT-N66R in operation as well which I guess was a BestBuy or retail model. Working like a champ and about as old. Having a router last so long is amazing (other than the lack of security updates) as I've had many others die after 3 to 5 years. I held on to this one because it did 1Gbit over the WAN so it was somewhat useful for building a poor mans vlan.

Yeah, RT-N66R is the Best Buy model. Literally nothing different about it, other than the model number. Any custom firmware for RT-N66U will work on RT-N66R.
