Hello guys, I'm new to opnsense. Not new to custom router software and setting up networks. I've used DD-WRT for years, on consumer grade routers. But I now have 2.5g internet and wanted to upgrade my network and eventually add a NAS to replace my OneDrive usage, so decided to go with a more dedicated setup. Here's what I ordered so far.
For the router I went with:
Protectli VP2420 - 4x 2.5G Port Intel ® Celeron J6412
Vault: VP2420 - Core
Memory: Crucial DDR4-3200 SO-DIMM Memory Module - 16GB
Storage (m.2 SATA SSD): 240GB Protectli M.2 SSD & 16GB eMMC on-board
Operating System (Pre-installed m.2): OPNsense 24.1 "Savvy Shark"
BIOS: coreboot (Open Source) BIOS
For the Wireless AP I will use a:
TP-Link Tri-Band BE9300 WiFi 7 Router Archer BE550
I have 2 locations that need wired distribution, so I got 2x (one for each location):
TP-Link TL-SG105S-M2 | 5-Port Multi-Gigabit 2.5G Ethernet Switch | Unmanaged
I haven't decided on the NAS yet. I plan to use the NAS as both storage and run a few services such as a Plex server capable of transcoding, a Photo sync for phones/tablets, and a couple other things. I will most likely build a custom NAS at a later date. Don't need crazy space, but say 16TB to start with expansion capability. So say 3x 8TB drives in raid 5 or 4x 8TB drives in raid 10. with a total of say 6-8 bays.
Am I missing anything? Willing to hear suggestions or recommendations.
