I've been working with this setup for over 4 years now. and I wanted to get some of your opinions on it.
So let me try to break it down here.
TAP > Myhouse (via Coaxial line) > goes into my work room. (The one coaxial line goes into a 5 bay coaxial splitter via 3.5db) and from there > each one of the coaxial lines (which I only use 4 of them right now) goes into 2x Motorola white SB6141 Modems. Which these do not have a router attached to them, and the 1x Ethernet port for each one goes into 1 of the 2 servers. 1 of the Coaxial lines goes to a Wireless Gateway that is used for the "house shit" aka browsing the web, doing work ect. Then another Coaxial line goes into a Zoom 5341J Modem for the makeshift NAS box I made. Also note that all of the modems have their own unique WAN IP Addresses to the outside world ect, and each modem does 200Mbps down, and about 30Mbps up.
Here's a look at the downloading speed.
I wanted to get some feedback on this. Is there something I should add to this setup? Or should I stop before I break something..

Cool setup, makes sense that you have two of the lines acting as DMZ's for the servers. However I question your other two lines.
I presume your "Wireless Gateway" is also a router combo or at least providing some form of network based firewall protection to that network.
Also why are you providing your NAS with direct WAN access. Just seems a bit odd and not something I would do with consumer grade (assuming it is) NAS equipment for security purposes.
Thanks for thinking it's cool. I will try my best to answer your questions regarding the things you pointed out. "Wireless Gateway" basically Modem+Router combo most ISP try to force you to take. I took it so they would shut up about it. I understand security concerns with giving public access to a "NAS" However; like I said. This is a "makeshit" NAS. I should have just called it my storage box of "goodies" instead lol. I do quite a bit of work from offsite areas, and I call to the box a lot. So I've got it setup with CentOS 6.6 with SSH Keys ect.
Also, thank you for your questions, and I will go a head and add my setup to the never ending list I've seen on that thread.
