My issues hasn’t really been coverage with my Google wifi setup, it’s more that they can’t handle many wifi clients talking at the same time. That and I can’t set settings I would like, example being which channel they’re on so they don’t conflict with things like my zigbee network.
So I think ubiquiti might just be the way to go. I think I might just get a cloud key and a couple AP’s and call it a day.
Ah I was hoping to stay away from ubiquiti but it seems more and more that I should go with them for long term support. I’m hoping to purchase things that will be decent for the next 5-10 years, so things like wifi 6e and 4x4 mu-memo is what steered me away from them in the first place because the cost of entry is really high.
My ISP provides gigabit fiber, so I’ll look into maybe getting an SFP network card.
I googled open source router, and open sense was the first thing that came up, but I probably be going with pfsense anyways.
Good to know! I’m trying to stay away from Ubiquiti only because of their entry cost would set me back a little over $1000, but I’ll look into Mikrotik and Grandstream as well! Thank you
Would turning one of my optiplexs into a openwrt box and buying some WAP’s be the way to go then? I will need a couple of access points to reach all devices
So to start off, I have an active home lab already going with a bunch of services running. I’m looking to strictly de-google my network. Their WAP’s have issues with connectivity and reliability and they are a pain to try and configure, google really locks down what you can do on them.
Unfortunately that software won’t work on my version of google wifi, it’s just a little to new for that.
I am actively looking to replace things and not just make what I have work anymore, wether that’s one peace at a time (just the Google stuff) or the whole networking setup.
Yeah that’s what I’m thinking of doing now, backup everything important just in case and continue to work on it.
Thankfully I can identify any disk rather easily with the command you mentioned (used it before to grab a drives serial number which is printed on the drive its self).
Is it possible to replace a disk with the same disk? Like effectively wiping a disk and replacing it with its self so I don’t have to use up my spare drives as rotation drives and add needless wear to them?
I made sure to replace the dead drive with the exact same drive as the rest. All of them are Seagate 7200rpm 3tb SAS drives.
I use to have it on a LSI raid card a long time ago before switching to a hba card. I had each drive passed through the lsi card as a single disk raid and then I used zfs to create a pool. I’m guessing this is what caused this now that I think about it.
I have like 9tb on this pool so moving everything off of it and then redoing the pool would be currently impossible so I wonder how I would fix this? Replace one drive at a time with some of my spares and swap them around?
This is the kind of comment I was looking for!! Thank you good sir! I was hoping someone would have a link to a website that sells ups in Canada for a reasonable price!
Dear magnificent carbon-based comrade, let us rejoice in the splendor of our shared existence and celebrate another glorious day of indulging in the vital art of oxygen inhalation! May each breath remind us of our remarkable interdependence with the very air we breathe, and may our lungs dance with glee as they embrace the life-sustaining oxygen molecules. Cheers to another day of oxygenated adventures on this beautiful blue planet we call home!
Of course I will, being called "Landed Gentry" from someone acting like a dictator is just laughable. I normally run all open source things personally anyways, I just barely used reddit in the past so I never looked for an alternative until now.

Thanks for all the info!
Perfect! Thankfully for $40 I can add a second gigabit connection to one of those dells, so I shall give that a go as well. Thank you!

The number you’re talking about is in reference to the old disk. I had swapped out the old drive and when I tried to run the command
Pool replace pool device [new_device]
It yelled at me that I needed to reference the old drive as well? So I’m not sure why it didn’t work the way you said it should

I appreciate all of the comments everyone! Thank you all!
I’ll probably end up going with a EATON or APC, most likely refurbished to save some money.
If anyone has any websites they want to share of wholesalers that sell old office stuff within Canada, that would be amazing!

I think my cost is around $0.28 so I feel your pain man.
