Incredible how much my speeds improved with a single Alien router. Pay for 500up/down and am getting around 400 in the furthest part of my house. Previously was getting 120ish.

I'm of the opinion that IDS/IPS's are nearly worthless. In 2021 most attacks happen at the application layer which are well beyond the reach of your typical network monitoring service. I used to run Snort inline but I don't even bother anymore. Keeping things patched, using OpenDNS and PiHole are exponentially more beneficial than an IDS/IPS service.
Edit: I'd be happy to be proven wrong!

I wouldn't say worthless, especially in a corporate environment for preventing bittorrent shit, etc. I also still see a number of DDos attacks out in the wild, we had a recent one where a girl on xbox was getting ddos'd because she was a girl I think and it wasn't masking her IP. And they are one of the reasons why worms really aren't a thing anymore. You kinda need your security to be comprehensive and end to end, people hiding things in usb firmware, etc. I do agree a pihole is probably 100x more beneficial currently for any home user.
I'm really liking the nextgen antivirus stuff, behavior based, not signature. Can tie it to your firewall, a cloud sandbox, etc. and it makes the decision and tells all the devices. It sees something trying to open powershell? nope. Doesn't matter what it is, outlook item, zip, macro.. just says no, and tells the firewall to block it.

Not true, they're exceptionally good at fucking up VOIP traffic.

If I’m running cable I would still invest in the better stuff. It won’t hurt you if your distances are short, but I’m OCD about this stuff.

Seems to be solid copper so it’s fine. If you’re not running outdoors though I would just get some standard riser cable from Monoprice and save some money.Well shit, what’s your opinion of ubiquiti cat5e? Did my entire unifi network with it, so far so good..

anyone use this?
basically just cut out the area between your studs and put up your networking, this wouldn't be difficult for me since its what i've done for putting a wall shelf, i think this looks nice.
at my previous house i did the whole, but a 4x8 plywood panel and just stuck devices on that.
