I have a network set up something like the following:...

I’ve heard that WDS is the standard for creating a wireless bridge, but I have since read on a number of forum posts that WDS shouldn’t be used anymore. This idea of it being deprecated seems to make sense, as it appears that it is not supported by another newer router that I have (tp-link Archer AX73). How should I go about...

Hello! I am doing some if-I-die planning, and I want to create a machine that is separate from my current homelab that can a) host paperless-ngx and b) be used with keyboard/mouse/monitor if needed. I want it to replace my current paperless-ngx instance that’s hosted in my lab....

I am looking to replace two Powershield 1600VA UPS that I have sitting, inaccessible, at the bottom of my 12U under-desk rack, and I am hoping that a 3000VA 2U rack mount UPS will work for me.
