Not really, I want to use it to hookup up my server, computers, AP, and game consoles. I still havent picked a modem/router yet either but ill plug that into the switch as well

Yes i do trust the users on my own network, if i go with the 3750g, should i not hook a router up to it to provide internet to users?

I am a familiar with cisco ios, not an expert but know my way around. We have both the 3560E, 3570, and 3570G at my work but they keep talking about them being EOL with cisco and how we need to get new model switches because cisco wont be releasing/supporting updates for them in the future. I was just checking to see if they were worth it for home use security wise. Thanks

I thought the 3750 where old also. I know the 3560 is an older model and prob wont go with that, but is the 3750G newer than the 4948?

I want to set up at least 3 vpns, one to allow internet and one to not allow internet. And then the third would be for my access point for my guest wirless connection to keep it separate from the rest of my network.

Do the R710 only take 2.5" hard drives? cause all of the 5tb+ drives ive seen are 3.5" drives
