Leave a CommentIt is almost 2 years since last my home network upgrading that I changed ASUS AC-88U hardware router to DIY All-In-One X86 software router with unRAID system for the internet connection. AC-88U is only running as WiFi access point.
So far, it is serving well for my Work-From-Home in this COVID-19 pandemic. But there are some concerns.
- No separated the guest network. Guest is able to access LAN.
- Network security concern as more IOT devices connected into home network.
- Will affect internet connection, when doing any change with All-In-One server.
- Consider to upgrade to WiFi6 with better wireless connection and VLAN setup
- Upgrade to 2.5G wire LAN network connection with NAS and unRAID server.

Leave a Comment在上一篇主要是介绍 Unraid NAS服务器硬件, 接下是NAS服务器系统及应用软件的安装. 目前比较通用NAS服务器系统主要有ESXI, FreeNAS, OpenMediaVault 和Unraid. 他们各有千秋. 经过比较和考虑, 我最终选择了Unraid系统.
Unraid系统的安装其实很简单. 第一步从官网下载 Unraid USB Flash Creator来创建启动U盘. 具体操作按软件上提示就可以了.

接下来把创建好的启动U盘装到NAS服务器USB端口, 然后在BIOS时设置从U盘启动服务. 接通电源后, NAS服务器就会自动安装Unraid系统. 安装过程就不在这描述了. 可以在网上找到大把的教程和视频.
下好就是安装的Unraid系统界面.
