Hello ! I have heard about Ubiquit's products for a while and was trying to get better network hardware for my house. My ISP gave me a HUGE box which is an all-in-one box (router, switch, AP) that I would like to replace with something more compact, more powerful and with many more administrative capabilities. This box has a SFP+ Simplex Fiber SC connector where my internet comes in. Since this would be my first hands-on experiment and I am not a network expert, however I do understand well the concepts, I would like to ask for some advice. From what I understand I would need a router, a switch and some APs. The following are my current selection so far: Router - For the router I am considering the UISP Router. Would I be able to connect my ISP's fiber cable to this piece of hardware given than I use a correct SPF+ adapter? Switch - For the switch I am thinkin of the UISP Switch I can see that the router and the switch both have RJ45 connectors. Is a switch really necessary? Can I just connect my wired devices to the router's RJ45s? AP - For the access points that I want to deploy at my bedroom and living room I am considering the In-Wall HD I would appreciate if somebody could shed some light to the configuration drafted here. I am most worried about being able to connect my fiber cable to any new hardware I buy and get internet connection. I would appreciate if we could keep the conversation only related to Ubiquiti's hardware.

I didn't know where to put my question so I went on putting it in general discussion. The topic might sound a little old topic but here is ma scenario. Back home my ISP forces me to pay for internet + landline. Sometimes when Im on holidays abroad, outside my country of origin where the landline is, it happens I need to call to a person/place in my country of origin. I know I can just make an international call via mobile phone or use skype, although in the end I'll end up paying money for the connection from where I am to the number in my country. I was wondering, if it is possible to connect over internet to a server back home and use that server to use the landline so that I can make the call using the service I'm already paying for. I don't know how skype connects skype-calls to landline numbers, but I guess I'm trying to find a similar solution that I can setup back at home. Cheers

Well thanks guys, I think I will go for the SSD option instead of the SSHD. I will get the samsung that ciprian97pop suggested and use my current HD as secondary storage. I assume there is no compatibility problems with my oldish Mac and this SATA III interface, right?

I was considering upgrading my mac's hard drive to a new one. At first I was thinking of going full SSD, but prices are high for high capacity. Then I notice this SSHD from Seagate and caught my attention http://www.amazon.com.mx/Seagate-Laptop-2-5-Inch-Internal-ST1000LM014/dp/B00B99JUBQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1440646410&sr=8-1&keywords=laptop+sshd My question to you guys is if this is a good sshd that will without any problems fit correctly into my macbook pro 13"? If you have any other sshd recommendation I'm open to them!
