Keith, I think you need to go back to basics here. What are the network connection options at your house? And what is your budget? For you, I suspect that in Worcester charter.net (spectrum.net) is your only other option for connectivity. Do you have Cable with them? It might be a simple call to just add internet onto your cable bill. Will certainly be faster than DSL, thought might cost more. Next, if you never turn off your modem, you will probably keep your IP address for quite a long time. I have charter and what I do is use 'dyndns.org' to host a dynamic IP address which maps 'jfs.dyndns.org' to my home IP, so I can get to my host system(s) from out side. Works well. And if my home IP changes, it just automatically updated on the external DNS. Once you get this figured out, then you can figure out how you will host your personal domain(s) and web services and such from either home, or out in the cloud. But breaking this down into smaller pieces will make things better. Also, I saw your post on your travails with the ASUS-RT66N Wifi access point. I didn't read it very closely, but I suspect what you need to do is turn the ASUS into 'AP' mode, and then NOT use the wan0 port at all. But if you want to route/firewall your Wifi from the rest of your network, then it can work. Personally, I like the TP-Link EAP-225 Wifi AP (Access Points) since it keeps all the routing down at the router. I use VLANs (a pain in their own right) to segregate traffic. You might want to read this article: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2018/07/enterprise-wi-fi-at-h... though it is outdated in particulars, and I wouldn't go with Ubiquity right now. But it's a good discussion on home networking. John
