@MrWright4hire
Thank you all for your feedback on Zabbix monitoring software. However, I'm looking for an actually daily checklist that one may have developed or came across to do daily checks for Network Admins.

Do anyone know or have such a checklist?

Once again, stepping into the role of Network Admin. I'm curious to know what are the new ideas / tools of today or is the daily tasks still the same. Any resources are welcome. Whenever I do a job, I'm passionate about it and would like to show my best.

What are some great free tools out there? What are some bare necessity tools you think an Admin for today's network world should have in their bag of network weapons?

Thank you for your time, input and tips,
Mr. Wright.

A couple of years ago I came across these guys in Europe who had advertised on Kickstart. They created this device that acts as a Fluke network device, but you use you mobile phone. It's called "Pockethernet".

It's amazing!

Are you asking us how to do your new job?

Negative @Obsolesce. I'm asking exactly what I'm asking. I'm curious about new tools and if there are any new best Practice.

Besides, even if I or anyone was asking that, it is my understanding that this site is about building, encouraging and empowering one another in the field of IT.

Trying to make one look bad or expose someone's weaknesses as oppose to just either contributing to the question or not saying anything at all is NOT Best Practice for positive communication.

I have a client that is requesting a captive portal for his home. He's not interested in buying extra gear or software subscription. I looked into DD-WRT, but they have 3rd parties that charge for services.

My client has a Asus RT-AX1800S router. I spoke to Asus and they no longer support captive portals on their routers anymore. He wants simplicity, keep his family network separate and wants to avoid having guess come to him for pwds.

As an alternative, I mentioned how he can hide the family SSID while exposing the guest SSID for them to connect to. His response, what if a family member gets a new device. I informed him at bare minimum he would have to only input the network information in once. Once to him is even an headache.

Any ideas anyone?

In advanced, thank you for your time and efforts.
