| Posted: 02 Apr 2018 08:16 PM PDT Hi guys. Everyone's been a big help so far. I'm going with the Unifi gear for networking my newly purchased and soon to be completely renovated home. I'm going to have at least 28 Cat6 drops throughout the house including some PoE. I plan to use a patch panel and tie into my Unifi switch. Questions re: keystones. I'm also running all new RG6 solid bare copper core conductor, quad shield cable. I need to buy 3000 ft of Cat 6 and 2000 ft of Coax. Questions: 1. Both Cat6 cables are same specs except: Amazon 1000ft. (True Cable) is rated 550mhz at $134.99 with free shipping and MonoPrice 1000ft is rated 500mhz at $89.09 plus shipping. Is 50mhz difference a big deal and deserves a higher price? 2. RG6: Amazon has Vextra solid copper, quad shield, 3Ghz, 18awg, 75ohm at $115.89 and free shipping vs. MonoPrice with same specs at $131.31 plus shipping. Plan on going Amazon. 3. Confused about whether or not to use keystone patch panel or regular punch down patch. Advice needed. Using keystones and keystone wall plates in each room if that helps. Advice appreciated. Thanks again for helping out an overzealous newb! [link] [comments]  |

| My goal is stable wifi - what do i need? Posted: 02 Apr 2018 07:14 PM PDT I currently have an Asus AC68 router, an Asus N router acting as an access point, and a few small switches around the. The speed and the range appear to be ok the majority of the time, but lately, the wifi just seems to flake out and stop working, mostly in the evenings. I have the router set to reboot daily, but it doesn't seem to matter. Id like to get some new equipment that will provide a solid signal. Doesn't need to be the fastest but id like it to have high availability. The mesh networks seem to focus on wide coverage. I think im ok there. The Ubiquiti stuff seems interesting but I don't want to over complicate things either. Do you just keep buying $200 routers every few years or is there something better? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Apr 2018 06:17 PM PDT Hi. My ping on my desktop computer has risen to about 800 when playing competitive online games, even with no one else using the internet. Anyways, my computer is upstairs, and my router + modem (which is one piece) is downstairs. I currently have a Netgear WiFi extender that plugs into my PC via Ethernet cable. I would really like to be able to use the internet again, but since I'm only a kid I can't move the router and modem upstairs to plug straight into my computer because of my parents. Is there any other way to make my internet better? I'm willing to buy a new router or modem, just anything to improve my speeds. Thanks you so much everyone. I can take a picture of my router if you guys need it to help me. I have Verizon wireless internet and router. [link] [comments]  |
| Possible to use my own router for Frontier internet instead of the one they provided? Posted: 02 Apr 2018 06:11 PM PDT I just switched to Frontier from Spectrum. I only got the internet (regular internet, not FIOS), and no TV. When I called them to register for internet service, they told me I didn't have to pay for a router. Yet, when the technician came, he installed a router and they are charging me monthly for it. I tried to see if the internet could work using my own Asus router instead of the one Frontier provided, but I can't connect unless I also use the Frontier-provided router Is there any way around this so I can still connect with my own router and not to keep paying the monthly fee?

| Need help deciding between two WAPs Posted: 02 Apr 2018 06:03 PM PDT Option 1: Ubiquity UAP AC LITE I like this option because I hear about Ubiquity all the time and this particular WAP seems to be highly regarded. I prefer buying products from more well-known companies. This one also looks prettier IMO. Option 2: EnGenius EnTurbo 11ac On the other hand, this one supports AC Wave 2 and thus MU-MIMO, making it seem more future-proof to me. But, I only heard about it after scrolling down a reddit thread and finding a random comment mentioning it. That's the only time I've heard of this company. Any suggestions? Do you think MU-MIMO is worth buying from a lesser-known company? [link] [comments]  |
| Extend Wifi With Second Router - Am I buying the correct product? Posted: 02 Apr 2018 06:00 PM PDT I currently have a TP Link C7 wired to my modem in my office and a run of ethernet cable leading to another room upstairs. I would like to add a second router upstairs to extend my WiFi coverage. I was thinking about buying a Ubiquity Unifi Ap-AC Lite. If I'm just trying to extend my current network, is this the right tool for the job? I would like the same network name and for all my devices to seamlessly transition to whichever AP is providing a stronger signal. I've been doing some research on the topic and it seems that the Unifi is often recommended over buying a second AIO router. I think I've selected the right product, but my knowledge is admittedly limited in this area. Can someone confirm that I'm buying the right thing before I place my order. [link] [comments]  |

| Patch panel / surface mount recomendations Posted: 02 Apr 2018 02:02 PM PDT I have a small utility closet where all the cables for my unit come together (two family house, we're the top unit). Specifically, 4x cat6 cables and 5x coax cables. This closet is tiny, has the furnace taking up 80% of the space, and is really more of a crawl space under the roof. Very cramped. All the cables come out in an area between two studs. Right now it's a massive nest of cable spaghetti. On the plus side, it's pretty much exactly the center of my unit, so I get good wifi coverage from putting the router there. And there is an electrical outlet right there. I just want to get it organized and under control. I'd like to terminate all the cat6 cables in a small patch panel. So far, I have only found 8-port patch panels meant to mount to a rack, or surface mounts with keystone jacks with punchdowns that come in smaller sizes. Does anyone know of a 4-port patch panel that is compact and can be easily mounted to the side of a wall stud? I'd also like to mount all the coax-cables to some kind of surface mount panel. I thought about using a similar keystone surface mount, but getting coax keystone inserts instead, but they look like they would be so close together it would be very tight and difficult to screw in the coax cables. Does anyone know of a way to effectively surface-mount 5 coax cables to the side of wall-stud? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Apr 2018 11:41 AM PDT Hello everybody ! I just moved in with my girlfriend and would like some advice on setting up a reliable network in our house. We have Ethernet plugs in various room, with all of the RJ45 cables ending up in our garage. Here's what i can tell you about those cables: 2 go in "room 1". 1 goes into "room 2". 1 goes into "room 3". 4 go to the first floor. There is also two coaxial cables, one in "room 1" and one in "room 3". We also have 4 cameras connected to a PoE switch, which is also located in the garage. This switch is currently connected to a router (see below). Our ISP (voo) offers internet and television through a router and a decoder, both connected to a NUI. The NUI is a GVR-2440C. The router is a technicolor TC7210, connected to the NUI with a coax cable in. I don't have any specs for the decoder, but it is located in "room 3" and is connected to the NUI with a coax cable, and to the router with an RJ45 cable (both plugs I have in that room). As the router is in the garage, the wifi strength is beyond poor, and when we have to reboot it, we have to cross all the house... Same thing when the router becomes unreachable for some reason. At first, I wanted to move the router to "room 3", using the coax there, and moving the decoder to "room 1". As both need to be connected with the ethernet plug, I would have to place some switch in the garage. Do you think that would work ? This would be my back-up plan, as "room 1" is currently our bedroom, and not the best place to set-up a tv. I had another idea, which would be to set-up the router in bridge mode and connect it to an Asus RT-AC87U, that I would place in "room 3". I would then use the second plug in that room to "go back" in the garage and, as with the previous idea, connect to a switch. May I have you opinion on this ? I'm kinda new into networking and I don't want to waist money on something that wouldn't work. Thank you guys ! [link] [comments]  |
| Garage - 700ft - Fiber or VDSL Extender Posted: 02 Apr 2018 10:02 AM PDT Hello, So I am planning on doing an Ethernet backhaul to my detached garage that's 700ft from my house. I have a conduit I can pull the wire through. I was thinking of just pulling telephone line and using a 10/100 ADSL extender as we don't need gigabit or anything for file transfers. Fiber is relatively cheap now but still many times more expensive than this setup. Anyone have any comments or feedback on this? It will be easy to pull fiber in the future if needed. Thanks, Ryan [link] [comments]  |
| Questions about Verizon gigabit plan and Ubiquiti hardware Posted: 02 Apr 2018 09:48 AM PDT So i've scheduled for verizon to setup my new gigabit plan. Currently I will be utilizing their own router which i'll be renting. I originally intended to get a ubiquiti usg, ubiquiti access point and a switch (not sure if generic or ubiquiti). The representative told me that their tech will check to see if my own hardware will be able to handle their speeds. They said that their own router is a "Quantum gateway router" and that the ubiquiti hardware should be compatible? Sorry, I'm just trying to make sense of it all before I go out and commit to buying all this hardware. My questions are:
Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| What is acceptable ping to a wireless access point? I can't seem to find out why my ping is so high Posted: 02 Apr 2018 08:01 AM PDT I have a desktop with a wifi card in it. I can't run any cables in my house. I'm using a TP-Link AC1750 card with a Netgear Nighthawk R7000. There is only one wall between the PC and router. I connect at 1gbps but when I ping my gateway, I get 1ms, 1ms, 1ms, then randomly 20ms, 30ms, then back down to 1ms again. These spikes seem to affect gaming and it's becoming super annoying. Why is it capable of having 1ms latency the majority of the time but having these spikes keep popping up? Is this normal and is it not much to be worried about? Do better routers, access points not have this issue? I always see the Unifi recommended here. Do those connect at a stable 1ms? Edit: I added in a screenshot. https://ibb.co/jCrL9x [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 Apr 2018 07:33 AM PDT Also, is there any other tool I can use that will attach the data jacks to cables other than the specific one haha? Thank you very much, because I put my self in a hole when I told my boss I could do this and I'm getting nervous (although I'm confident in the internet and my abilities) any advice would be helpful. PS I am 100% going to get this done so hiring someone else is no longer an option LOL ALSO spectrum is coming out to seller up the network in the next couple days [link] [comments]  |
| Will something like this work? (consolidate multiple Ethernet devices into a single ip) Posted: 02 Apr 2018 07:31 AM PDT I'm going to college soon and my apartment has a sort of strict policy on not using switches to add more Ethernet ports to the one they give you. Problem is, I personally have multiple Ethernet only devices that I plan on connecting to the network. I have a feeling that just going ahead and using a switch is a bad idea as the IT people might be able to see multiple wired ip's coming from my room. My idea to solve this is the use an Edge Router (basically a router with no wireless capabilities for those who are not familiar) to create a "mini network" inside the existing network where all my devices can be assigned private ips by the router, and all that traffic is exposed through one single ip to the outside network. TLDR: I want to use an Ethernet router to hide my multiple Ethernet devices behind one ip to trick IT. Will it work? [link] [comments]  |

| Asus RT-N66U reboots to wizard Posted: 02 Apr 2018 06:52 AM PDT On the off chance someone knows how to fix this... I have an Asus RT-N66U and every time it reboots, it reboots to a setup wizard. The issue is this puts the router offline until I plugin and go through the wizard. The odd thing is that the wizard has saved all of my settings and I just click Next Next Next. Am I missing a "reboot in safe mode" checkbox or something? If the NVRAM were shot, I would expect my settings to be missing which makes me believe this is a software issue, not hardware.

| Home Network structure/Diagram question Posted: 02 Apr 2018 06:33 AM PDT Here is the network structure that I hope to employ at my house using Ubiquiti switches. My main concern is I would like to keep the traffic down on my main network as much as possible so I plan on putting the IP cameras/NVR system on a separate network. All switches are managed switches and if it shows a power rating it is a POE+ switch. Can I achieve what I want (seperate networks) with just managed switches or do I need another router in between US-48 Switch and the IP camera Switch? Should I put the Sonos system 24+ devices on their own network also? Anything else look off or need changing? Thanks in advance guys. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 02 Apr 2018 06:26 AM PDT Has anyone come across routers that set themselves to non-standard channels? It seems like when I open my wifi analyzer app I see many AP not using 1,3,11 and I can't imagine that many standard non techie users are logging into their netgear and hard setting the channel to something like 4.

| Posted: 01 Apr 2018 09:10 PM PDT Hello there! I'm currently in the market for a new router and while browsing, I had a couple of routers that I saw in mind but before I choose one of them; I'd figure it would be best to ask you guys are r/homenetworking on your two-cents about them. I currently live in a 2,000 square feet home on a 150mbps plan from my ISP. With my ancient n300 router, I don't get speeds anywhere close to that and even less when multiple devices are using the bandwidth. I currently have an Asus Ac66u in my possession that I plan to switch to but before I do that, I was wondering if I would need to get a higher-end router to hit those speeds. I was looking at the TP-Link C5400, Asus ac5300, and the Netgear Nighthawk x6 for single routers. Or would it be better to get a mesh wifi system like the Netgear Orbi or Google Wifi?

| Can a router affect ISP to modem connection quality? Posted: 01 Apr 2018 09:35 PM PDT Hey All, I have charter spectrum 60mb service, an Arris SB6141, and a Netgear R6400. Recently my connection has had periodic dropouts, and when it is connected it is slow enough to almost be unusable. When I connect modem--router(with wifi broadcast turned off)--PC hardwired I see connection speeds of 1-3 mb/sec. The modem signal report and logs are as follows: When I connect modem--PC hardwire I see connection speeds of 55-65 mb/sec. The modem signal report is as follows: So far I have tried updating the router firmware to newest version, changing cat5 cable between components. Does anyone have any ideas on why adding a router to the network would cause poor signal/communication between modem and ISP like this? Also the error log show alot of "MDD loss" what is this? Thanks for any insight you may have! [link] [comments]  |
