Ubiquiti and/or PFSense access

Hi all, I have a new flat and with it comes a 1GBPs Ethernet connection as part of the building service. The router they have given me is causing me a lot of issues so I want to upgrade it. I have been looking at different models and I have discount a lot due to the 1GBPs connection. I have a Sophos router from a previous job, but it doesn't support IPV6. At this point I am looking at potentially going with a Synology router, the Unifi kit or a PFSense build. has anyone used any of this and can comment on the usability with JFW? i know the Synology will be pritty much the same as the NAS, though they don't have a demo site for the router. I am going to check out the Ubiquiti demo site next but I know people on this list were using it. Thanks. Andrew.

What my job?

I'm retiring. Want my job? it's a great job. https://jobs.hr.wisc.edu/en-us/job/511554/system-engineer-ii The pay is not great but the benefits and job security are outstanding. Initial interviews will be via Zoom. But you'd probably have to travel to Madison for the final interview. And you'd have to move here if you get the job. Madison is always in the top most livable cities in the country. -- ### John G. Heim, 608-263-4189, jheim(a)math.wisc.edu

IP phone recommendations?

Hi, Before I start, I'd like to say thank you to mr. Irwin, he answered my basic questions about PBX. Finally I've completed my IVR setup and other tasks, and now I need a dec or wireless phone. For handsfree and speaker quality, maybe accessibility features and for other details, which models do you recommend? I'll make outbound and receive inbound calls. Also, is there a way to configure these phones without sided help to enter SIP/connection details? Thank you.
