When I was a bit younger I used to run NT4/Server 2000 with a domain and active directory at home! Overkill doesn't really cut it, but was a great way to learn.

Much more simple now:

Asus RT-N66U Gigabit Router

BT Openzone Modem (80Mbps down / 20Mbps up)

HP Microserver N40L, modded with 6x 3TB WD Red's in Linux software RAID6.

Every PC in the house backs upto the microserver daily, and also acts as central storage for photos, music etc.

I had to connect the TVs to the Wireless Bridge because the network was getting too congested with them connecting to the Billion.

So some of yall work from home.  

Awesome!

So what's on your home network?  Do you have a server on the home network?  How about the way going out?  Do you have only one ISP?  Or do you have a backup Android device?  

Only reason I ask is because...  the internet recently went out in our house (damn ISP!).  Luckily, I can still live off of my WiFi hotspot on my phone!

Well I telecommute to job so i have to have a spare connection. I live in the country so our cell signal is basically shit. The fastest dsl they have is 5 meg and that is even unreliable. So I also have excede internet which is fast down but the upload is slow and latency sucks. What out when it rains hard it goes offline completely!

Nothing too fancy. Normal cable network with a backup 4G network which has had to be deployed 2 times this year alone.

Media server with about 500GB of legally purchased movies & TV shows.

We have about 5 users on my home network.
 
At the moment I'm using directly from the ISP router to my working computer, with 2x 4G equipments, plus my phone as last resource if everything fails.

But I'm working in a solution to add an extra layer of security, by adding a computer with pfsense.

Haha well kudos to you!  All I have is a Netflix account that takes care of all that for me at the moment (too bad it doesn't help me in situations like this...)

Has your network ever failed that you were stuck with your last resort? (Your phone?)

My phone's WiFi hotspot isn't bad... But I just wish I had my internet...

Since I remember, I only used my phone to work when Internet and power lines were all down, and I had to use my phone as hot-spot for my laptop.

It was a fun day ahahah

I am challenged here with lack of anything great for bandwidth...

In years past, and at other location I always had three different providers and a failover setup.  I had lots of options (fiber, wireless ISP, DSL, EVDO, etc.)

Now I have the residential bandwidth and a 'droid data plan that is shareable via wifi.  The 'droid and local cell options suck.  No throughput and of course the cost per gigabyte is offensive.  The droid share is meh, slow, sucky, better than nothing.

Had an outage last week and made do with the 'droid for 3-4 hours.  I need to string something better together to connect that to the LAN somehow.

Ugh.  That sounds like fun.

We finally got the ISP tech in here to check our upstream and it turns out when another ISP was making changes they unplugged the cable for our apartment.  Ugh I hate ISP techs sometimes (not the guy that came to our call but the other ISP techs).
