| [Unifi Gateway] Are default firewall settings 'safe' for home use? Posted: 02 Mar 2018 07:29 PM PST Just got a Unifi Security Gateway to replace my 'traditional' router. Are the default firewall settings sufficient for home use? Also, what's the difference between the login used to connect to the Controller software, and the device login (e.g. when setting up a wireless AP)? When is the latter used? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Mar 2018 09:07 AM PST I'm in the process of planning out a network upgrade in my house and I'd like some advice on some rack equipment that will help me to grow in the future. I've already learned a lot by lurking here, but I still have a few questions. Current Plan (already ordered or owned):
My wife isn't ready for me to wire the entire house, but she's given me the OK to run a few wires. So I'm going to put the above equipment in the basement with a run to a ceiling-mounted Ubiquitu AC-PRO and a couple of runs to my office for now. Office has my desktop computer and will have an Asus RT-AC68W that I'm hoping I can use as a second AP.

| Posted: 02 Mar 2018 02:54 PM PST Hello All, I'm setting up a network at home, and am having difficulty mapping my VLANs to my APs. Equipment
Router Config The router is set up with the 3 VLANs, and I have a DHCP server set up for each. The VLANs are subnet 2 (Streaming), 3 (Guest), and 4 (Private). I have verified this router supports 802.1q. Switch The access points are plugged into ports 1 and 2, my second floor outlet is in port 3, my first floor outlet is in port 4, my server is in port 5, 6 and 7 are vacant, and my connection to the router is in port 8. I have set up my VLANs in the TP-Link utility:
802.1Q PVID Setting:
My APs are both set up with the 3 networks I want to run, and the VLAN IDs are matched up to the correct SSID. As far as I can tell, the configuration should be good. I'm able to get internet as long as I use a static IP on my desktop and laptop. When I pull the static IP on my laptop, DHCP is not assigning an IP address (on the wired connection). On wireless, the access points are broadcasting signal, but the access point itself is not linking up with the VLANs. I've never done any real work with VLAN tagging or access points outside of the router. I'm hoping this is just my screwing up the tags or something similarly dumb. Any ideas? Thanks!

| Security of openVPN server on ASUS RT-66 router? Posted: 02 Mar 2018 03:41 PM PST As the title states, I'm considering using my router's inbuilt vpn server so be able to to access my LAN whilst away from home, I'm just concerned about the security - is the server better ran from my home lab or will the router suffice? Speed doesn't bother me, just security! [link] [comments]  |
| Anyone looking at or using virtual appliances? Posted: 02 Mar 2018 09:12 AM PST I've got a large, diverse family and was thinking of augmenting my pfsense with some BYOD solutions etc... Is anyone using any smallish servers with hypervisor capabilities to reduce power and space footprint [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Mar 2018 01:58 PM PST Hi folks, New to home networking, I have spent a few years playing with /r/homeautomation & /r/homeassistant and the time has come to start on the network side. I have some POE devices that I would like to install but don't really know where to start. I would rather buy the right thing one time than just buy the first thing I see on amazon. Not everything will need POE, so I am not sure if its a feature you get for the entire switch or a portion of the ports? I will probably start by running two CAT 6 lines to each room. With a few more to specific locations. 3 Bedrooms, + LIving Room = minimum 8 lines not including specific devices. I will use a POE Doorbird doorbell system, and plan to have 2 or 3 cameras set up which will do the same. Total lines, About 11 to 12, with about 4 as POE. Otherwise I may or may not add more POE devices as I figure out what I want. Anyone know where to start? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Mar 2018 10:06 AM PST I am building a security system for my home using samsung smartthings and want to implement a cellular backup. For $7 a month I can get an AT&T velocity usb stick, my question is could I just plug that into the back of my router (Asus AC1750) and configure it to turn on if ethernet connection is lost and turn off when ethernet connection is restored. Here is a link to my router. https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-RT-AC66U-802-11ac-AiProtection-Optimization/dp/B008ABOJKS [link] [comments]  |
| Limit bandwidth on guest network Posted: 02 Mar 2018 12:33 PM PST What's the best way to limit bandwidth on my guest network? I currently have an AirPort Time Capsule and an AirPort Extreme that have been working fine for me for quite some years now. I understand there's no QoS settings on these routers, so I'm wondering if I should pick up some new ones, or if there's another way for me to do this, perhaps by buying a cheapo router that supports QoS or other bandwidth limiting capabilities, and running the guest network off of that. Any suggestions? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Mar 2018 10:24 AM PST The wireless routers are both Asus running Merlin, and they have IPTV settings to handle ISP-provided IPTV and/or VoIP service in the form of 802.1Q tags coming into the WAN port. The "Internet" VID goes to LAN ports 1 & 2 and Wi-Fi, the "VoIP" VID goes to LAN port 3, and the "IPTV" VID goes to LAN port 4. The EdgeRouter-X is VLAN-aware on switch0 and has VIDs set up on the ports that serve the routers. The ER-X works just fine acting as the gateway and DHCP server for the "IPTV" and "VoIP" networks, with the Asus routers just transparently bridging everything together. The "Internet" network is giving me more trouble. The reason I mention the VLAN stuff is that it's why I can't just put the Asus routers into AP mode and call it good. This would be easy if I got proper managed switches instead, but that's less fun. I'm trying to use this as a learning opportunity for managing a larger network with some internal routers. I haven't figured out a way for the routers' clients to connect to the Internet except through a second layer of NAT, with each router running its own DHCP service for its own LAN. The main thing I want to do is access a Wi-Fi camera from my phone regardless of which router the camera or my phone happen to connect to. I have the option to disable NAT, the firewall, and the DHCP server on either Asus router, but even then, I can't convince the routers that it's OK to have their WAN IP and LAN IP on the same subnet for the ER-X to take over as the DHCP server and the gateway for the clients. Or if I assign a static IP in a different subnet to either Asus router, would the router have a problem with its WAN-side gateway IP being in its LAN-side subnet? Alternatively, if I give up on fully combining the LANs and just set up a static IP and static routes for the one camera instead, how do I find it from my phone/tablet/etc? Can I have the ER-X check for it in either Asus router's LAN, by trying to access an address in the same subnet as the router's WAN IP? Or could I look for it in the phone's LAN subnet, and have the Asus ask for it from the ER-X if it isn't there, so the ER-X knows it must be in the other Asus's LAN? I think pure routing without NAT fundamentally doesn't make sense to me, and the extra flexibility of being able to assign each router its own subnets is confusing me. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Mar 2018 09:30 AM PST I purchased a DECA 2.0 adapter to use as a wired connection from my pc to my router. We already had one for the router, as we have DirectTV. When I connected it on my end, all 3 of the adapter lights were green, but when I connect it to my pc, there is no internet connection. My ISP is AT&T and the router/modem is an Arris NVG599. How do I fix this? [link] [comments]  |
| Switching to fiber with ONT and using your own router Posted: 02 Mar 2018 09:16 AM PST we currently have Spectrum which uses coax so I'm pretty happy with using my own modem and router. if we were to switch to fiber (Frontier), an ONT would be installed and typically those feed coax into a ISP owned router which is usually pretty basic without advanced routing features. what are my options to use my own router? I've done a couple searches on this sub and found these possibilities (which one is recommended?):

| [HELP] Choosing a home router to VPN Posted: 02 Mar 2018 09:00 AM PST I want to run a VPN client from a router, so all the computers on my network go through the secure tunnel at all times. So that I'll never have to go through the hassle of starting up a VPN when I want that increased security. In terms of avoiding censorship, snooping, or someone in my home connecting to a service that draws the attention of local authorities, this also means that even if someone is connected to my home network and they forget to use a secure connection it doesn't matter as their searches and activity will still pass through the VPN. My network consists of: 4 x Gaming consoles 3 x Torrenting machines 4 x Computers (gaming, streaming, browsing) 6 x Mobile/Tables devices (streaming, browsing) 5 x Streaming devices 1Gbit/sec Internet Subscription I need help choosing/building a router that would best fit these needs. My budget is ~$600-$800 or less if feasible. [link] [comments]  |
| How to change IP address on D-Link router? Posted: 02 Mar 2018 08:56 AM PST My new cable modem is also a router, and has an address of 192.168.0.1. I have a D-Link wireless router that I bought because of its touted range, so I'd like to keep it as well, but it has the same IP address. How do I change the D-Link router IP address so there's no conflict? Well, I know where the setting is—but what do I change it to? And do I need to change anything else, like the subnet mask?
