Appreciate the insight. The parts list was just pulled from a random post with no prior knowledge on my part.

Thanks for letting me know how you went. Did you look at using Omada stuff before choosing Ubiquiti? Also how easy is config on Ubiquiti for someone that’s not really versed in anything networking.

I’ve never thought about this really. I’ll look in to it but do you have any suggestions as to how to find a power adapter that fits the same barrel fitting as well as what amperage to go up to?

Do you think that using the router to attach the external HDD adds extra stress on the unit and makes it more likely to crash?
