| Free alternatives to GlassWire? Posted: 30 Aug 2019 05:16 PM PDT I've been a paying customer of GlassWire for my home network and I love it, just cannot afford to resubscribe as I'm unemployed. I'm looking for a temporary free solution that works in a similar fashion. I want to be able to see real-time usage, devices, alerts when new devices connect or when new IPs connect etc. Basically a "real time network monitor". I don't mind spending hours to configure something that will work (I'm on Windows 10), but, I don't want a large security suite that includes antivirus/antimalware, etc. I just want something that monitors the network well.

| Posted: 30 Aug 2019 12:24 PM PDT Howdy! I'm trying to use an old Netgear EX2700 Extender to connect to my WiFi network so that I can connect that to my Hue Light hub. The issue is, my schools network has a username and password prompt, not only a password prompt. I'm pretty network illiterate, so I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do to get around this or if that's even possible. Has anyone else had this problem and has resolved it, or by any chance knows how to get the extender to connect and work? Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| How to bond multiple internet connections into one to get faster internet? (not load balancing ) Posted: 30 Aug 2019 03:38 AM PDT I live in a student resident, and there is an open WIFI with a limited bandwidth of 5/5 Mbyte Up & down per connection . I used two phones and my laptop, each with their own connection to the wifi. Then I shared my phones' connection with the laptop using bluetooth/USB Tethering. then merged all 3 of them using https://speedify.com. It worked fine, and managed to get 15/15 up & down. Being a broke college student, and having access to free VPS on google cloud / amazon. I was wondering if I could set up my own VPN and do the vpn bonding speedify does on my own to save some money. I currently have no idea how to do so, I didn't find anything on the internet except this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIeXAqdbpzI. Thank you <3 [link] [comments]  |
| Convinced I can’t get Ethernet Posted: 30 Aug 2019 04:09 PM PDT I have XB3 with Comcast and the gateway is 2 floors above me (where I want Ethernet). The internet comes into the modem via coax and the house is not wired for Ethernet. Moving the gateway is not an option and running cables down 2 floors isn't an option either. With those two options out of the picture is there really nothing else I can do? Any advice helps, thanks [link] [comments]  |

| Help me troubleshoot my lan setup Posted: 30 Aug 2019 02:48 PM PDT I have 4 rooms with 4 drops each going to a patch panel. The patch panel connections are plugged into a switch. My modem is plugged into the switch. My router is plugged into the switch. Wifi and my computer directly plugged into the wall drops work and give internet access (I have tested it plugged into all 4 drops). I have a lan cable tester that works when I plug a cable between the two units. When I plugged the primary tester into a drop it flashes through the numbers like it is getting a signal but the secondary unit shows nothing. When I plug the tester into the switch the main unit will scroll through the numbers showing a connection but the secondary unit shows nothing. When I plug both pieces of the tester into a wall drop the main units shows connection but secondary unit shows nothing. What am I doing wrong, how do I get the connections flowing from wall drop to wall drop? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Aug 2019 02:38 PM PDT I've a POE device in my garage and I want to connect to it in my house, but I don't want use an Ethernet cable. If there an adapter on the market that does POE to Wi-Fi? EJ [link] [comments]  |
| Desktop wifi only works partially Posted: 30 Aug 2019 06:18 PM PDT It will only connect to certain websites. Steam doesn't work but I can use netflix/youtube with no issues. I thought the issue started when Windows updated but I tried removing those update and the issue is still there. Wired and phone connection are working fine. I tried 2 usb dongles and 2 pcie built in ones. The issue is still there. I tried connecting to my iphone hotspot and it was working fine. So, it's probably on how the desktops connect to the wifi. I already tried connecting to 2.4 and 5GHZ. Same issues. What else can I do to fix this? Wired connection is not an option. Also, one more thing was I bought a new usb wifi adapter. I was able to use it last night but it also stopped working this morning. [link] [comments]  |
| What's the best WIFI and BLUETOOTH option(s) for my particular computer and router? Posted: 30 Aug 2019 05:51 PM PDT I have a MSI A Pro z370 MOBO an i5 8700k (intel) and a Linksys e4200 router. Is this information sufficient for someone to suggest a nice, well working PCI E Network and Bluetooth card? Thank you in advance! [link] [comments]  |
| If cost is not a factor what's the fastest wireless router or AP one can buy? Posted: 30 Aug 2019 12:13 PM PDT A portion of my network involves a bunch of laptops, ipads, and other iot devices, they must be wireless, and connected to the internet, some devices require high throughput (at least 500 mbps). Consumer or enterprise solutions are fine. If (initial) cost is not an issue. What's the fastest wireless solution one can have? Something about an annual subscription model just don't sit too right with me. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 30 Aug 2019 11:24 AM PDT So I've noticed when I'm downloading games on my Xbox One, the download speed never quite reaches the download speeds that my iPhone gets using Speedtest by ookla (owned by Comcast, i know), for example a steady 200Mbps down on the xbox and 350+ Mbps on my iPhone. That's using WiFi on my Xbox though. If I plug in a cat5e cable I have that's 5ft long (i know it's too long, modem/router is about 2-3 feet from Xbox) and in good condition but as it converts from a wireless connection to a wired connection I can see the download speeds drop from a steady 200Mbps to between 90 and 130 Mbps. I am going to try to find another Ethernet cable just to eliminate one variable and may go buy a cable that I know is perfect for what I need but is there any other problems I should look for before I spend money? I don't use the Xbox or download games enough to make this urgent. Now that Comcast incorporated Netflix into their tv service, my Xbox really doesn't use the net except for when I have to download the add on stuff for games. TLDR; Xbox faster on WiFi than Ethernet. Xfinity, blast pro speeds of 400Mbps achieved on iPhone. Xbox WiFi: ~200Mbps Ethernet: ~90-130 Mbps [link] [comments]  |
| Internet drops every 1 hour or 30 minutes from lease renewal or expiry Posted: 30 Aug 2019 11:18 AM PDT I've recently moved to a new rented premise, and stuck on getting internet drops constantly. I've installed a TP-Link wi-fi extender in my room and its 1 meter away from my computer setup, plugged with a lan cable to my PC. I have tried several solutions from google such as doing ipconfig/registerdns, making sure my DCHP thingy is set to autostart, updated my network adapter drivers, and such. The only method that I've not been able to try out was to 1. Call my ISP provider about the per hour lease and 2. Login to my router and mess with the settings within. Since I'm living in a rented premise, I do not have full control over the host network, and considering the other tenants in the premise, I shouldn't mess with these network stuff too much together with my minimal understanding on how networking works. Need help. Some images of my event viewer when the internet drops and my result from ipconfig/all Link : https://imgur.com/a/XZzinmb [link] [comments]  |
| Fast network, but slow to initially connect on WIFI Posted: 30 Aug 2019 08:58 AM PDT Hello network gurus. I have an ATT gigabit connection. The connect speed using wire can range from 4-500 to 600+ on occasional good days. However, I am struggling with my wifi connections, particularly on the initial site loads. On my iPad it could take several seconds or longer, sometimes timing out, to load the first page. Once it starts loading, then things go pretty quickly. What could be causing this? My wired connection does not seem to have this problem. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| Are these IPerf results normal on a Gigabit/5GHZ network Posted: 30 Aug 2019 02:23 PM PDT
My laptop is connected via 5ghz WiFi to a Virgin SuperHub 3.0, this is connected via a gigabit switch to my freenas box The laptop is using a 2x2 MU-MiMo Intel NIC and the freenas is a ryzen box with its internal NIC (Probably Realtek) [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Aug 2019 02:22 PM PDT I'm not very familiar with the ins-and-outs of MoCA, specifically whether or not a signal transverses a splitter. My home has 3 coax ports (all individually wired to the outside of home box). I took the 1 line that was feeding my office, and used a 2-way coax splitter so that the ISP runs to both Living Room and Office (works great). The home previously had DirectTV to Living Room and Bedroom, so I moved Living Room connection from DirectTV to ISP. In short I have the following Current Layout and Proposed Layouts: https://imgur.com/a/OscmDZf (there is a POE filter on the ISP connection). Before I spend the money on the MoCA Adapters, I want to make sure that this wiring diagram will work to put an Wireless AP to extend coverage from the Office Router. [link] [comments]  |

| Moving from wifi to ethernet and i have few questions about gaming Posted: 30 Aug 2019 01:42 PM PDT I been using wifi signal for long time. At the moment i have TP-LINK TL-WR841N [300Mbps / 2.4GHz]. Just tested stats in speedtest - 19 ping / 36 Mbps download / 41 Mbps upload. I dont know how bad these stats are but for gaming i very rarely had problems and had pretty good ping. Browsing internet sometimes was slow, but thats maybe because i not that good laptop before Question is, what will change when i will move to ethernet connection in stats? And do you think i should upgrade my router? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 30 Aug 2019 09:36 AM PDT We have recently pared down our cable to the minimum so we are relying heavily on streaming services and IPTV. My ISP installed the modem, router, and WAP in the basement. On the main level I have our connection hard wired to the network and it's been great, upstairs is my next challenge. My options appear to be WiFi, or hard wiring via a powerline, extender, or MOCA adapter. Any suggestions on which set up will be fastest and most reliable? [link] [comments]  |

| Improve 5Ghz connectivity in Apartment Posted: 30 Aug 2019 12:24 PM PDT Hi, I have an interesting problem in my apartment and I am trying to figure out the best way to approach it. Currently, we get ~300 down via our apartment and this service is baked into the lease. However, in my bedroom I get about 100 down at my desk and near nothing in my bed in the back. The network service is contracted out to a 3rd party, who have been less than helpful and told me to buy a shitty 20 dollar wifi extender and deal with it, but i'm not really interested in it. I'm prepared to go to apartment management to complain that I'm not getting full internet service in my apartment, but I'd like to have some sort of backup in place in case they also tell me to shove it. I have attached an image. My desk is the blue stripes in the bottom corner. The problem as far as I can tell, is that line of sight from the access point (green) is blocked by the refrigerator and the washer/dryer (orange and red respectively). The AP, a Ruckus H320, only has 10/100 ports on it so the 300 Mb connection easily saturates one; I initially was just gonna run a long ethernet and put up a new access point but I wouldn't really be better off. Is there a way to go about fixing the signal problem between my room and the access point. I need to get a new 5ghz source in the hallway behind the fridge to get a better signal in my room, but i'm unsure how I would go about that since the Ethernet ports are only 10/100 and just doing a wireless bridge would introduce other problems. I could tap into the Ethernet line on the back of the access point with a switch, but I assume removing the AP from the wall would be considered tampering with the network, and I'd like to avoid that.

| Does anyone have a Wireless AP recommendation? Posted: 30 Aug 2019 12:24 PM PDT Hi All, I'm currently in the market to purchase an AP in the coming months, my current internet connection is 150 down/15 up and uses a Hitron CGNM 3350 AIO, eventually i'm hoping to get 250 down/20 up with a TP-Link TPC 7650 gateway attached to a gigabit enabled PFSense box and then a switch, i currently live in a couple hundred square foot apartment with my devices being a mix of wired and wireless(i'm going to put most of my mainly used devices such as a desktop computer and a couple small servers on a wired network and my phone, tablet, laptop, etc on wireless) so i was wondering what sort of AP would work in my case? I was originally thinking of getting an Asus ROG GT-AX11000 Router and then putting it in AP mode but i realize that may be overkill for my situation and my needs! Cheers [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Aug 2019 11:57 AM PDT Moving into an apartment from a house, and I'm paying 93$ for cable internet with (as we speak) 30mpbs download. I'm looking for cheaper internet since I won't have to share with another person. ATT has services that is 60$ a month and 12mpbs fiber. I don't really understand the difference, as she explain it to me fiber is more just yourself than shared like cable. The max use for the internet will be gaming. Me and my SO game at the same time and connect via ether net cables. Will I see a decrease in performance and increase in latency? I feel that 30 to 12 is a significant downgrade. Edit: also called EarthLink and also told me they had fiber for 12mbps [link] [comments]  |
