  • Assuming you want to replace it all, not just home lab use…

    1. Drop their router/modem combo if you can, get your own modem and router. Options are pretty wide here, but what I prefer is a wired router and separate WAPs. I’d lean toward opnsense for the router OS, and I’d use something with as little as two to four ports - one for the modem, one to hit a switch, two more gives you a second modem option (cellular as mentioned) and a second switch to hit if needed. Ideally with 10gbps for future proofing. Dont make your router/FW do lift of a switch, IMO.
    2. Get a switch sized to your network. Since you’re going with a 10" rack, a small 8 port with a couple 10gbit uplinks would fit the bill. Managed only here. You dont need the latest and greatest - I have a stack of Aruba 2920s, 48+4 PoE+ (stacking cables) that I got for free that were being replaced. They came out in 2013 and went end of sale in 2017, and have been in my home lab since. So - any thing managed that handles what you have and a bit more.
    3. In terms of WAP, TP-Link, ASUS, and Zyxel all have decent hardware that works well.

  • Yeah I just dont have a need with no devices to handle it natively, while the rest of my library can be. Building a new htpc media player for the living room next, new server after that.

    New because I’m using a lenovo tiny as the server, which means either I build a new box completely, or I find the right used workststion tiny/mini/micro that can handle av1. Complete build will do a lot more (well, the t/m/m does too, but not to the extent my big box builds are set up for).





  • I dont think I said “random”, but a randomized routine that meets criteria absolutely works, and you dont need AI for that. I dont think anyone said “AI” at all until you just now either.

    Detecting plateau isn’t too hard either, which is when you would get a suggestion to change an exercise or set of exercises in a routine, or a new routine. Which is where change of angle comes in - its about the exercise being performed.

    Can someone do it themselves? Sure, it just takes more work. Which is kind of the point here - you can make a list of exercises that hit a muscle or muscle group just fine without software, which is what this software does. The next logical step is a system that handles routine options, too.

    Even with consistent goals you need to change your routine around.

    Edit: and if you’re injured, you should be meeting with a doctor/pt for any workout information. No system is going to know how to deal with that sensibly.
