Which router and UPS to choose for a home server?

Question

linux

Gentlemen, there is Internet at home with a channel width of 100 Mbps.
At home there are two laptops and three phones, they need Wi-Fi.
At home there is also a server on ubuntu, which broadcasts some sites to the network. The sites are quite loaded, a couple of thousand people visit in total a day. Therefore, it is a priority, because. brings money.
Here I need a router that:
0. It will completely cope with the channel width declared by the provider, but it is better to keep it even more, with a margin, so to speak.
1. Can distribute traffic, I want to give 70% of the channel to the server.
2. Able to Wi-Fi
3. In general, stable and working under load, not heated and not freezing.
4. Some kind of internal DDoS protection will also be a plus. Or the possibility of flexible fine-tuning up to the kernel configs (for example, some kind of Linux-based router).
Advise such a device, ready to spend up to 4-5k, it is advisable to meet 3k rubles.
Well, or ready to buy more expensive, but really, well, a very good router.
Well, we are also looking for a good UPS for the server, in case of electric walruses. Here the main criterion is that it should not be too expensive.

Answer 1

mikrotik http://market.yandex.ru/model.xml?modelid=8486674&hid=723087
4. Do you really think that your router will be the first thing that will fall? go to the entrance and see what your cable is stuck into, this is the weak point.

Answer 2

I have been using Mikrotik for several years now. Not without flaws, there are tricks in the setting, but ... Very wide possibilities at an adequate price. Quite stable in operation. Although there are failures during power outages. It rises from the state of a brick at home. There are many setup manuals on the net and there is a Wiki throughout the system (most of it in English). You should not take the cheapest model, the average is better. I mainly work with 951 series and a few 433 on bases. When properly configured, there are no complaints. All forwarding, tunnels, vlans behave as expected.

Answer 3

Definitely Mikrotik, the home MikroTik RB751G-2HnD has been working for more than 1 year without a single failure, the firmware is updated periodically, glitches are fixed (I have not encountered a single time during my use), now there are already 4 pieces of such pieces of iron, they work without complaints
, there is a USB port, you can connect a UPS and, using scripts, after a power outage, cut down almost all connected equipment to the LAN (servers, computers) and if you have a hub (not a switch), you can turn it on using Wake On Lan
And you can connect a USB HDD and use it in LAN
In my model there is only 2.4GHz WiFi (5 GHz is not, but this is not a problem for me)
Today I encountered only 1 problem: there is no way to install a torrent downloader
in the router
But I think it can be solved by the server for you, so I don’t see any problems

Answer 4

2k people a day is a virtual machine for 150 rubles a month =)
Your piece of iron burns more electricity if it's not some kind of arm.
And according to the subject - Mikrotik, definitely. Buy any UPS, which is suitable for the price.

Answer 5

If not Mikrotik, then take the beloved, proven ZyXEL Keenetic II Ultra or just Keenetic II. You will never regret.

Answer 6

ASUS RT-N16, I have been using it myself for more than a year, the router is excellent, it does not bug, the connection does not drop, it works 24/7, it copes with all the tasks listed with a bang, in addition to the tasks you need, it has many more goodies. cost 3t.r.

Answer 7

I now have an Asus RT N-12, at first it also suited me, I even did a review on it. But now he has begun to hang like that. that the Internet is, but does not forward ports. Or it simply resets the settings to default, you have to re-register everything, etc. There are a lot of problems in general and therefore I don’t really trust asus now. The firmware is the latest, I do not understand what the trouble is.

Answer 8

Hey, what are you, what N16 and N12, this is low-end plastic.
N56U or N65U with firmware from Padawan.

In general, I advise you to take a good walk on http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/

Answer 10

Look at http://uinc.ru/ for vulnerabilities of all devices under consideration. With a similar choice, I settled on soft distribution through Debian. On the plus side, security updates come out very quickly. Of the minuses - some witchcraft is required to start the 5GHz band; you need to read a significant amount of mana to configure (as an option: debianforum); Not all wifi devices can distribute in principle.
The power of the UPS depends on the power of the server. If the server is home, another criterion is noiselessness, low consumption and maximum efficiency of the entire system. I have a server based on Atom 425. It eats little and knows how to x86_64. Of the minuses - it does not know how to virtualize and multi-channel memory.
