Have to agree with that! Price point can make all the difference. The ASUS was in the top three running when I did my pre-pull-the-trigger research. The fine-grained security and the OS involved turned the trick in favor of the Synology. But those are aspects the average user wouldn’t care about, much less use.
I did all my cable runs here with CAT6e, but if I had it all to do over again, I’d use CAT6A. I really don’t think it would make that much of a difference — other than making my wallet a lot thinner and my braggin’ rights more specific. 😛
Well done on the neighbor tech support, BTW.
