Network Craziness?

Hello Fellow Tekians,

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..

Take care,

Hi Netty, Noticed you are new here.

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.

Anyway pretty cool. Post your server setup in the Server setup thread.

Hello Zanginator,

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.

Take care lad,
~ Netty
