| Working from home. How to exclude my computer from my personal VPN? Posted: 31 Dec 2018 02:19 PM PST I have a NetGear R7000 connected to my cable modem. I'm considering buying a VPN service, and redirect my router to it. Everything connects to that 1 router. I want to exclude my Work laptop from using this VPN service. Is this possible? I want to avoid setting all my devices to use the VPN. I'd rather just have the router to use it only. [link] [comments]  |
| NYE Xfinity not available. Please help Posted: 31 Dec 2018 05:09 PM PST So I switched off of their modem/router today to my own Netgear CM500 and EERO. I activated the modem this morning and the internet was working all day today. Suddenly about 2 hours ago it all stopped. I tried calling Xfinity but nobody is around due to the holiday and their "modem check" says my modem is offline. When I go to the my account app it shows their modem off line and my modem is connected. All the lights on my modem are green. All day today I had the Ethernet cable going from the modem to a splitter and then to the EERO. I have tried plugging the Ethernet directly I to the EERO and directly into my computer but it says "no internet". What else can I do to troubleshoot? What else could be wrong on my end vs down on their end? Thanks and happy new year [link] [comments]  |
| Sharing Internet over 2 apartments Posted: 31 Dec 2018 06:03 AM PST Hi, me and my cousin live in an apartment buildings and he's my upstairs neighbor and we share our internet but my room barely gets any signal i've been using a wifi extender for a while but i know it cuts the wifi speed by half. Would a powerline adapter plugged in his house and one in mine work? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 31 Dec 2018 01:21 PM PST Hello all, I have a question on if this set up will work before I go out and buy the equipment. I don't have direct access to my building's wifi (it's in one of those enclosed port things out in the hallway) so this is my proposed plan to get the signal to my computers.
For power reasons the router/hub needs to be ~30ft away from the netgear so a USB cord won't reach. Thanks a ton! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 31 Dec 2018 01:17 PM PST So little history 3 months ago I got Metronet gig fiber internet, and switched over from comcast. I got a new router the Archer C7 v2 with latest firmware update. And everything seemed to be good, reddit was sluggish loading after a few days and thought that was weird. Looked up people have issues with chrome reccomending DNS flush. DNS flush works great, immediately. Makes the browser run perfect immediately. Instantly loading clicked links and videos. then it progressively slows down again. I dont know whats going on here. My browsers (tried getting rid of chrome, and Internet explorer/edge is having same behavior slowing down terribly. I am not that knowledgeable on this issue and apologize ahead of time. I am trying to trouble shoot if its on my router side of things? Is there some weird issue with my computer? Is it metronet gig fiber modem working not as intended. Please I would love some form of lead on this. This is borderline home networking i know and apologize, just havent found an answer in the last week. TLDR: DNS flush massively speeds up chrome. a day later slows down terribly again almost not responding to link clicks, till next DNS flush. Other browsers doing similar behavior. Computer is newer, Ryzen 7 16 gig ram. Thank you in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| Modem stops assigning ip address after it begins to connect to internet. Posted: 31 Dec 2018 12:38 PM PST EDIT: SOLVED! I was a dumb butt. Followed everyone's advice and called up my isp instead of just uaing their online troubleshooter. Apparently the signal was super low and they failed to reactivate service (???) so the cust rep went and did something to get it back on. No technician necessary, and modem works and i can connect to its web utility. But does anyone know why the modem wouldn't let me access the web utility during this time? I would have thought it would just say it couldn't connect to the internet, but still allow to ping it. Original post: My tp-link tc 7610 (my own router, not renting from the isp) was working fine yesterday. This morning, i find out that we missed a payment for our mediacom internet, and it's been disconnected. We paid the past due balance, account is fine, and waited for internet to come back on. Nothing after a few minutes, so I restarted the modem. The lights went through their usual boot up and ended with solid green on upstream and downstream and solid white on the rest (indicating perfectly fine connection, but Nothing. I restarted the modem several times, with the same results. I even tried direct connection to my pc, and found that not only is internet not working, the modem was not assigning an ip address to my pc (ipconfig showing a 169.254 ip address). Trying to access the modem web utility did not yield any results (192.168.100.1). So i restarted the modem and kept the coaxial cable unplugged. This time my computer was assigned the normal ip address of 192.168.1.10, and showed expected default gateway of 192.168.100.1. Connected to the web utility no problem. I figured this meant it finally got to working, so i plugged in the coaxial cable. The lights indicated it was connected properly after going through normal connecting flashes, but still no internet, and the modem was no longer assigning an ip address to the connected pc (ipconfig again showing 169.254.xxx.xxx). I tried manually setting an ip address in the 192.168.100.xx range, and proper subnet mask (255.255.255.0), and default gateway of 192.168.100.1. Ipconfig showed the updated info, but web utility and internet were unavaiable. When i tried to ping 192.168.100.1, i got a message saying host unreachable. After some playing around, i found that the web utility was not reachable after the modem gets a solid white light on the downstream. Anyone know wht would cause this? Given that everything was fine yesterday and this only started after the disconnect, it makes me think mediacom might have fubarred my modem somehow. I tried a reset from the button in back, and a 30-30-30 hard reset, but no change in modem behavior (changed the login password to verify it was set back to factory defaults). I tried leaving the modem in my garage to cool down for 20mins or so, but no change from that either. Doesn't look like there's a way for me to reflash the firmware from my google searching. If the modem is done for, doea anyone have a recommendation for a new one to get? Needs to be a docsis 3 at least, for cable connection- isp is mediacom. Have a fine router, so no routing capabilities needed. [link] [comments]  |
| I'm a fucking idiot that can't do anything right. Posted: 31 Dec 2018 12:36 PM PST Everything I manage to get my hands on I mess up, I couldn't configure a home network for the life of me and now I have to wait god knows how long to have enough money to buy another AP that I'll eventually break and end up burning more money. I fucking hate having ADHD, I hate being such a klutz that can't even be bothered to brush his teeth in the morning or take care of myself because of just how innatentive, braindead and bloody stupid I am. I'm giving everything away, first come, first serve. I don't deserve any of this. I have a ruckus r700 that I managed to force into an infinite blinking "DIR" light, which now needs an RMA that i can't afford, two ubiquiti ac lr's that I managed to fry by putting them in a passive poe state, even though they were the old versions, they don't work, even with the instant 802.af, don't know how I managed fucking up that bad, but I did. I also have an 8-port FS.COM switch All I wanted was to give myself an excuse to go outside, long range wifi, great, eventually I'd exercise more and clear my mental health, but it's always been a god damned struggle and I'm completely emotionally exhausted.

| Should I let my computer connect to the 'Internet Assigned Numbers Authority'? Posted: 31 Dec 2018 02:21 AM PST Apologies if this isn't the best subreddit for this question. My firewall is blocking an outbound connection to IP 224.0.0.251, which seems to be - judging by an IP lookup website - the IP of 'the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority'. My computer (Linux laptop, with a VPN, using Wireguard) seems to work fine with the connection blocked. I found this relevant but seemingly unhelpful old Reddit post. [link] [comments]  |
| What do you use to trim a large wire run through the ceiling? Posted: 31 Dec 2018 03:55 PM PST In clearer terms: I'm going to be pulling up to 48 cat6 cables through my ceiling into an unused closet that will become my server closet (get it?). Since I live in Arizona, and the heat in the attic is just slightly below the levels seen in Hell, I'm trying to come up with an air infiltration block to let the wires come through and the heat to mostly stay where it belongs (in Hell or outside--there's not a tremendous difference). Does anyone have any ideas that will handle that large a bundle of cables and keep the heat and dust mostly where it belongs? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 31 Dec 2018 07:38 PM PST Everything was working fine as I will describe below. Computer A and B each have an external USB hard drive shared and each have an internal C: and D: drive. Computer A: Could see, map, and access Computer B's shared external drive, Shared Printer and Router in the Network Browser under "This PC" Computer B: Could see, map, and access Computer A's shared external drive, Shared Printer and Router in the Network Browser under "This PC" I then decided I wanted to share Computer B's second internal hard drive, drive letter D. I shared it as "D on Asus Laptop". Computer A could see it and I mapped it to drive letter Y. Here is where I ran into problems. Computer A can see it and was able to map it but Windows says I cannot access it and that I do not have permission to access it. I shared it exactly the same way and settings as I did Computer B's external hard drive, which I can also still access with Computer A. I go back to Computer B and notice that now I cannot see Computer A in the network browser anymore but I can access it via the map or address. At this time Computer A could still see Computer B in the network browser and both can still see the printer and router. I restarted my router, and computers and now neither Computer A or B can see anything in the network browser. So here is where I stand now. Computer A and B: Can see router and printer in network browser and can access each others external hard drives via the mapped drive or manually typing the address. Computer A: Can still not access the second internal shared drive of Computer B. So I need help with two problems. Could me mapping the shared D drive of Computer B to Computer A cause a conflict because Computer A already had a D drive even though I mapped it to drive Y? Any help is appreciated, I'm getting pissed off and ready to pull my hair out dealing with this. [link] [comments]  |
| Channel bonding in Windows 10 Pro Posted: 31 Dec 2018 10:45 AM PST I'm looking to bond my three GigE NIC's (one realtek motherboard NIC, two ports on a HP dual port server adapter) on my Windows 10 desktop. I'm fine with round robin bonding - I'm fine with any single connection being capped at gigabit, I just want to be able to run multiple connections at gigabit rates. I do this with all my Linux servers (I'm running a distributed LizardFS pool) but I just can't figure out how to go about it in Windows. Now, fairly obviously, I can't change OS on this desktop. If I could run Linux, I would already be doing so :) Apparently, the newer Intel drivers support teaming directly, however on an attempted install they report that there's no Intel NIC's on the system. I suppose that this is because it's an HP branded server card, even though the ports show up in the device manager as Intel PRO/1000 ports. Sadly, HP doesn't have updated drivers for Win10 for this card - or at least, not that I've found. Is there some way to set this up in Windows? This shouldn't be so difficult. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 31 Dec 2018 03:40 PM PST So, I know that speeds won`t change, since my internet speed is 100 Mb/s. What I want to know is if a Cat7 ethernet cable will reduce my ping in games, compared to the Cat5e. I`m currently using a Cat5e and getting arround 15-30 ping. Will a Cat7 ehternet make any difference? [link] [comments]  |
| Will hardwiring high bandwidth hogs improve overall wifi speed Posted: 31 Dec 2018 03:32 PM PST Kids are on Netflix UHD stream or Xbox frequently (to say the least). If I hardwire those directly to the Orbi base station would it improve wifi network performance throughout rest of the network? [link] [comments]  |
| Verizon Fios Quantum Gateway won't port forward Posted: 31 Dec 2018 07:13 PM PST I've tried everything under the sun, I don't know why the ports aren't working. Verizon says they're open, when I test them they're closed. Does anyone know what to do about this? I can give more detail as needed! Thanks :) [link] [comments]  |
| Every time my sisters phone enters the WiFi. It crashes it. Posted: 31 Dec 2018 07:03 PM PST As the title says. Every time her phone joins the WiFi. It crashes it. Has anyone had this problem before? Is there a way to fix it? [link] [comments]  |
| cable modem not registering on rcn Posted: 31 Dec 2018 06:32 PM PST Hi! I "cut the cord" just in time for the new year and plan to bump my internet up to 250Mbps through RCN. I needed to get a new modem for the speed and purchased a new Netgear CM600. I hooked everything up and contacted RCN to register the mac address. An hour later with no success the rep on the phone told me it must be the modem that's the problem and I'll need to get another one. I'm skeptical. I could log in to the modem from my desktop and it said connected but I wasn't getting 8nternet and there are errors in the logs. The rep wasn't interested in hearing what's in the logs. Could my new modem be bunk or should I try again with another RCN rep? Or is there some kind of troubleshooting I can do on my own? The modem is on the RCN approved list. Not sure what to do and want to save myself the trouble of making a return. Thanks and happy new year! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 31 Dec 2018 06:19 PM PST I'm looking for a device capable of routing, switching, providing poe, and acting as an access point. I'm price insensitive. I don't have a lot of space. I have centurylink gigabit. There's some kind of ONT outside, with 5e running inside. The ONT has a UPS inside. I'm currently using a unifi switch-u and a C2100T powered by an APC UPS. This is not the UPS centurylink provided for the ONT. Ideally, I could replace the ONT, the router/AP, and the switch with one device. I'd settle for a good router + AP + switch + poe device that can handle gigabit. Remember, space is at a premium, so a 3-device combo would make me sad. [link] [comments]  |
| Frontier FiOS G1100 Gateway crashing - Can I use an old Netgear router for routing duties? Posted: 31 Dec 2018 02:33 PM PST Frontier replaced my Verizon branded ActionTec MI424WR Gateway with a G1100 Gateway/router, and it crashes. A lot. Like every 20 minutes when kids are playing games. I have a Netgear WNR2000v2 running DDWRT, would that router be more stable? I think it's eight years old. If so, is there a dummies guide on how to use that device for router duties, and the G1100 for just gateway duties? I know just enough to realize that I don't know what I'm doing.

| Received New Modem and Router, Having Problems. Posted: 31 Dec 2018 02:31 PM PST I just purchased the Netgear CM600 and the Asus RT-AC86U and I hooked everything up and I'm getting red on my wan led, so I can't go to the setup part of the instructions at all. [link] [comments]  |
| Horrible ping anytime multiple devices use my home network Posted: 31 Dec 2018 02:07 PM PST Hey guys. I'm more or less at my wit's end by this point, so I'm asking for your help/advice. Got my Internet service turned on back in June. My wife and I play online games together, so we were excited to get back into the swing of things. Cue crippling lag on all games. 20mbps download, 5mbps upload (way out in the country, miraculous that we can even get DSL) -- but our ping was skyrocketing into the many thousands. Started running ping tests in the command prompt. Normal ping to 4.2.2.2 was around 45ms on wired and wireless connections, but as soon as another device opened a new webpage or started buffering a YouTube video, it would soar to 2000-3000ms and hold steady until the other devices were turned off. If it's ever just me at the house, only my desktop plugged in, things seem to work fine. If I don't look at my phone, the TV's chromecast is disconnected, the Switch is turned off, etc. The moment my wife walks in the door and her phone reconnects to the wifi, it'll either disconnect entirely or create huge ping spikes. After literally months of troubleshooting with our ISP's tech support and having technicians out at the house more than a dozen times, giving us new modems, rewiring the house, digging up the old lines and laying new ones across the property -- the problem still persists. Then today I read about "bufferbloat" for the first time. Ran a test on dslreports.com and sure enough, we scored an F for bufferbloat. The Netgear 6020 router I recently bought (on recommendation from the ISP tech) has no "congestion" or "QoS" settings that I can see. I called my ISP and asked them if they could do something on their end, and they suggested enabling UPnP. We went through all that, and still the massive latency spikes the moment another device tries to access the Internet. Then they said they created a "bridge" making my router the only access point for the internet. Still the same problem. They blamed it on the router, of course. I told them I had only gotten it a few weeks ago, and the problem had been going on since June. They told me they'd refer it up to their level 2 technicians (practically a meme in my household at this point) and would call me back. Does anyone have any suggestions for how I could change things? It's never one particular device causing the problem, and the ISP folks have never even heard of bufferbloat before. I just want to play some League, WoW, StarCraft, or Battlefield again someday.

| Posted: 31 Dec 2018 05:50 PM PST So I have two wireless connections at home, my 2G and 5G. When I was running Windows 8, my laptop picked up the 5g connection no problem. After I updated to Windows 10 my laptop doesn't pick up the signal. I know my laptop is capable, and I've tried watching Youtube videos but I can't find anything helpful. Is there any troubleshooting ideas you guys can throw out [link] [comments]  |
| Configuring Spectrum's E31U2V1 Posted: 31 Dec 2018 01:55 PM PST I am trying to configure Spectrum's E31U2V1 modem. It is the one with one LAN connector, one coaxial connector and two phone connectors. I can't get access to its configuration menu and nothing I have read has worked so far. What is strange is that when connected to the Modem, it has many IP address. The default gateway address in my connection information is not in the same as as the address my computer's ip is on. For example, A.B.C.D is the default gateway and A.B.E.F is my computers IP address. I expected the last digit to be different not the second from the last. What is also strange is that it doesn't start with "192" like many of the guides says it should. I tried 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1, 172.X.X.1 and others but it did not work. How do I configure this router? [link] [comments]  |
| How do i improve wifi speed and signal in my room? Posted: 31 Dec 2018 11:42 AM PST ok so a little while ago i learned my parents were paying for 250 mbps down and 10 mbps internet speeds but i was only getting about 60 mbps because my router is downstairs so i just bought a really long ethernet cable and connected my pc to the router downstairs. now that my pc's internet problem is solved, how do i improve the connection for my phone? i'm constantly disconnecting and the speed is also slow [link] [comments]  |

| Inexpensive WiFi to Ethernet Adapter with at least two ports? Posted: 31 Dec 2018 07:38 AM PST I need to connect two Ethernet devices in one room to the WiFi in another room. I looked in amazon for WiFi to Ethernet adapters but most of them only seems to have one port and the few I seen with a couple of ports seems to cost more than a hundred dollars, and I would rather not use an additional switch just to have two Ethernet ports. Maybe the adapter has a different name. Any advice? [link] [comments]  |
