  • Yep. Keep the WAN port dhcp Client enabled if you can, just one less thing to worry about.

    Also take note that when you change the static IP of the new router it would conflict with the old one (and dhcp might fail). So you might need to set your local clients IP. Take note of the configuration it has and the steps to set it manually.

    The rest all sounds right.


  • Your router’s IP can be anything. Choose any internal IP address on your subnet.

    You can have 2 routers on the same subnet just make sure you disable DHCP on the new one while you perform the setup of everything else.
    Then when you want to switch over, toggle on dhcp on the new router and replace the cables and you should be fine. You’ll know it’s working when you plug into it and get a default route of the new router.


  • Depends upon what you’re using it for as always. X5650 has a rating of 5716 and has a TDP of 95W.

    You have two, so you pull up-to 190W @ 100% CPU.

    Depending on your workload these types of CPUs may be more inefficient than the i5. because they have less single thread performance. You didn’t specify which i5 gen your CPU was.

    You can get some cheap ddr3 eec ram off eBay to double it if you want but 24 is a nice amount for apps and zfs cache (if you go that way)

    Double nic is good for exactly your type of setup. Iot devices on a separate vlan. (Your video cameras)

    If it has more space HDD space or is better specs than your i5 and you don’t mind taking the extra power hit & possibly heat/sound. Then it will be a great nas













  • We are :P

    Also nearly everyone is using docker for Lemmy and as long as unraid lets you run docker commands you should be fine.

    Docker compose is (now) part of docker. It’s a way to describe all the containers you want, and then docker goes and does it. You should 100% learn docker compose, and Lemmy already has a compose file in their repo. So you should be able to copy paste and say docker compose up -d
