try Sine Systems

We use it here at work and it goes pretty well

Not sure of the cost

I can vouch for Sine Visitor Management (https://www.sine.co/).  Works well and is reasonably priced.

Your brave, I wouldn't touch MSY with a very very long barge pole.  Umart is my go to and has been for 20-25 years with only 1 minor hiccup in that time.  I buy a fair bit of gear too.

Scorptec are my go to, but to be honest, I'd never trust any of them for advice...

Been using MSY Slacks Creek store in Brisbane ever since they opened, must be getting close to 20 years now, way back in the days when you would email a order list and wait for a quote to be emailed back, have an account nowadays, but lost count of the orders I've done for myself, friends, relations and friends of friends.

Never had an order incorrectly supplied or lost in transit from Brisbane to Townsville!

I sometimes wonder why I bought a NAS, given I'm 1000% certain I'm not using it to its potential...

Haven't bothered to be able to access it from the internet (or at least I don't think I can), and took me ages to be able to set it up to download TV Shows and Movies automatically.  Nearly binned it due to frustration - whoever thought Docker is a good idea was wrong!

What are guys using for wireless extension?

I've always used a TPlink router at the other end of the house on the same SSID, and it's just Shit itself.  I need 4x 1Gbps ports where the device sits, so am I ok running a newer model router in access point mode?

I don't do residential level support and can't afford enterprise level hardware at home, so advice from the residential guys is appreciated if you can help

I've got cable runs in the right spots, but this is Shitting me at the moment, as we need wireless as well, and the Bigpond modern doesn't reach the back of the house.  It's also got the NAS connected to it, which I suspect is why it's dying, due to torrenting and streaming

I wish I'd known you need a rack, the neighbours got rid of a full size last week... No idea why they had one mind you, as they're doing well to turn on an iPad...
