    VLAN for Smart Home Hubs?

    If you need VLAN-s, you may use some old passive (without coolers) Cisco Catalysts like 3560 with 12 Fast Ethernet ports. It costs less than $100 on Ebay, somethimes even half of that.

    OS drivers for serial card

    I use DriverIdentifier - The most simple & easy driver updating tool.. Probably you will be forced to register but it's free when you select "please give it to me for free" or something like that. Or just google PCI\VEN ID. Ouch...

    Software Anti virus question

    I used to use Comodo Antivirus + Firewall (on Windows XP and later Vista), now I have only Windows Defender (on two computers with Windows 10). Two irritating things: 1. Windows Update notifications almost everyday. 2. Defender may impact speed of files copying,particularly the small ones.

    Routers Home VPN - Which Router

    I'm using Mikrotik RB951G: RouterBoard.com : RB951G-2HnD It can handle about 15-20Mbps of aes-128-encrypted IPsec. It's obviously far worse than Cisco ISR-s but it costs only approx $60 (in Poland).
