| Need advice for gaming cafe networking Posted: 30 Nov 2019 07:04 PM PST We are developing a gaming cafe management application and have a question when it come to it's networking part. Our application will be completely cloud based, so multiple cafes can be connected and managed by single server. But as a backup we are planning to keep a local server in every cafes. In case of cloud server downtime, we want these local servers to switch on automatically and handle the operation. So that our service won't be interrupted. And when the cloud comes back on the local server will sync with the cloud automatically. Need your advice if it is possible to achieve. P.S: Please don't troll my post. And pardon me if I seems unclear, still figuring out things. [link] [comments]  |
| Can I use a 5G hotspot from my phone as a good internet source? Posted: 30 Nov 2019 09:26 AM PST If I was to gets phone with 5G and it had a an average of 300Mbps and I had unlimited data, could I turn my hotspot and say connect my Xbox to it and use that as a faster internet connection than my ISPs 50Mbps I get with BT?

| Posted: 30 Nov 2019 05:18 AM PST I have a 12U rack at home with a great Cyberpower UPS and PDU on board and I want to know is it worth grounding the unit at home or if anyone has a simple but effective way. I have done my homework online and holy crap do some of them look to be extremely complex when it comes to grounding. Edited: To show what I am worried about not being grounded. Rack I have: UPS: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HDODQYS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Then a Switch from Ubiquiti and other devices. I would love to hear any help or advice that anyone has. I mention grounding because I have a giant German Shepherd and hair is a factor sometimes around the house. [link] [comments]  |
| Segmenting Network for IoT Devices with Basic Router Posted: 30 Nov 2019 02:07 PM PST I've decided to try to make my home network a little more secure by segmenting it. I've done some research and I'm realizing that networking is my technological blind spot. Many of these articles and posts that I'm reading seem to go over my head, so bear with my ignorance... I really have researched this quite a bit, but most posts that I've seen either involve (a) an OP that knows a lot more about networking than I do, or (b) an OP that's in the progress / is willing to spend a lot of money to upgrade their set up. The driving force behind all this is now that I start incorporating more IoT devices into my home, I realize that these devices are all creating some vulnerabilities within my network. I'm also trying to do the best with what I've got since I'm not really looking to purchase or upgrade my equipment, which is currently a single Netgear r6700 Nighthawk AC1750 router. This router appears to be limited to 2 SSID's (2.4GHz/5GHz) + 2 Guest SSID's (2.4GHz/5GHz). Working with these constraints, I've segmented it in this way:
This leads me to a few questions:
Like I said, I'm really just trying to do the best with what I've got. Perhaps when I buy my next router, I'll look into a beefier home network. Thanks in advance for any help! [link] [comments]  |
| Starting Over... I think - Advice for Home Network Posted: 30 Nov 2019 05:02 PM PST Ok, hopefully I lay out enough information here to get some advice. Also, I will note I had not heard of Ubiquiti before starting to research this sub, and I am not up to speed with all the acronyms (but, as I'm in the Army, I'm a relatively quick study... we love acronyms). My house is a bungalow, with finished basement. Basement is about 1,000sqft while the main floor is about 1,500sqft. The walls are wood and drywall. I have access to my attic, and my basement has a drop ceiling meaning I have access there as well. My ISP is Bell Aliant, and the package is Gigabit Fibe 1.5. The modem/router they provide is the Home Hub 3000 (Sagemcom F@st 5566). One item that may be a hiccup - this comes with FibeTV, and I think that may make things a bit more complicated. Fibe Phone too... but to be honest, the TV and Phone services aren't used. The Home Hub 3000 is connected to a Linksys EA8500 via Ethernet cable and I _believe_ I have them properly bridged. That said, I am finding the internet is slow, constantly cannot load webpages, and there are definitely some dead spots (the Home Hub is in the basement, the Linksys is up on the main floor). I have a fair number of items to connect: 2 x Kindle, 2+ x Smartphones, 2 x Printer, 1 x TV (4k), 1 x PS4, 1 x Nintendo Switch, 2 x Bell TV Receivers, 1 x QNAP NAS, 1 x NVidia Shield, 1 x Chromecast, 1 x Philips Hue Light, 1 x Home Theatre, and about 3 x Laptops. As I have access to floor and ceiling, I will be able to run wires to pretty much everything minus the phones, kindles, and 2 of the laptops. So, suggestions? I am guessing I will need to find a good bulk seller of Ethernet cable. I have the tools to clip / add on my own ends. Is there better equipment I should be looking at that can maximize the theoretical speed I should be getting? If anything is not clear, or more information needs to be provided, I can definitely do so. Should also point out, I am in New Brunswick, Canada. H11F. [link] [comments]  |
| Client Bridge setup with Google Fiber crippled speeds and I don't know why Posted: 30 Nov 2019 04:58 PM PST I tried setting up my network in a Client Bridge configuration with Google Fiber, but after being so sure that there was something wrong with my connection after getting 1/3 of the speeds I was expecting and Fiber tech support wanting me to reconfigure my network in a way they didn't think was "strange"… I discovered that they were right, and re-configuring everything to go through their box brought my speeds back up to normal. But I don't know why. Do you? This was my setup (which I did originally in order to run pi-hole, but then at some point took pi-hole out of the equation when I was running into these speed problems) Google fiber box setup to give a DHCP range of 10.0.0.1-10.0.0.1. TP-LINK Archer C4000 WAN port connected to Google Fiber LAN port, Archer set up with Gateway: 10.0.0.1, and DCHP set up to give out addresses in 192.168.1.x range. Archer WAN port connected to a Linksys 16 port unmanaged switch. Wired and speed tests would cap at around 300 down and up, where using the simpler setup they'd be closer to 800. Can anyone provide some insight into why this would be the case? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Nov 2019 04:46 PM PST Hello, I recently posted here asking some questions about running Ethernet cables and switch around my house and sadly I won't be able to do that anymore due to some unforeseen complications. I was quite bummed out and was searching for alternatives as I really want to wire a couple of rooms properly and stumbled on MoCA. First time I hear about that and while I read a couple of posts here and read a bit on the internet I don't fully understand how I would setup something like that. I'm in Canada so please bear that in mind when answering the following questions as I might not have access to everything or that it might get cost prohibitive. So, I'm with Telus fiber network in Quebec and the provided "Telus Wi-Fi Hub" modem/router/switch/ap have a coax connection. While I will contact them to be sure, do you think it would provide internet access if I connect to it? The technician that did the installation left no boxes or manuals so I can't directly search and no manuals seems to exist or since I don't have the exact model of that thing I can't find something on the internet. Prior to the change with Telus we had Satellite TV and internet so while we do have a couple of coaxial lines around the house I would need to cut the old lines going to the old dishes and crimp new ends to connect them to the MoCA adapter. Can someone link me to some basic tools that would do the job or at least give me some proper names to search for. Could you give me a basic rundown on how I would connecting things up? I know a bit about computers and I did a lot of readings on setting up networks but this MoCA thingy feels weirdly alien to me. Thank you for reading this and I'm sorry if anything doesn't seem clear, I only discovered this thing today and I'm still trying to wrap my head around all that and as I said it feels very strange. OH! One last thing, would I need one of those filters thingy I read about? I feel like I wouldn't since all coax lines are separate from each other and the only place they leave my house is to go to a now nonworking dish. Also I will quite certainly cut any of the outgoing lines just to be sure. [link] [comments]  |
| ASUS RT-AC87U issue with Kasa switch after firmware upgrade Posted: 30 Nov 2019 07:53 PM PST I recently upgraded my ASUS RT-AC87U router to firmware 3.0.0.4.382.51939 and my Kasa HS200 smart light switch is not working. The switch will disconnect and become unavailable, or it will show in the app as being available but "local only." I contacted TP-Link/Kasa and they had me try beta firmware for the switch and they have escalated my case. I contacted ASUS and they have also escalated my case. The only workaround I've found is to downgrade the router firmware. Has anyone else run into anything like this? [link] [comments]  |
| Really strange wifi network issue (Long text) Posted: 30 Nov 2019 03:30 PM PST Hi guys, So im at my parents home this weekend and i noticed that their wifi which they had for years was suddenly not there anymore. I asked my mum if she changed anything with the router but beside the occasional restart she did nothing. I saw that instead of her usual SSID there were two networks which had full signal strength (all others had one bar), both with different names ive never seen before. One was without password and the other one had a password. I thought maybe during one of the restarts her network might have resetted all settings so i wanted to change her settings back. To determine which network was hers, i disconnected the router from power and i saw the network without password dissapear as soon as i unplugged the router and came back once i plugged it back in, so i was pretty sure this is her network. I connected to the open wifi, put 192.168.0.1 in chrome and to my suprise, the login menu was not from her router manufacturer but from a different manufacturer i never heard before. I googled the default credentials and was abe to log in. To my suprise, the SSID name i found on that site was from the other Network which had a password on it. I tried the password displayed there and it worked for the password protected network. So now im very curious, how is it possible that i can connect fron an open wifi via 192.168.0.1 to a router which has protected wifi. My first thought was maybe the router opened two networks at the same time but then i disconnected her router from the power and the open wifi vanished and the password proteced stayed online and is fully usable. Soo, am i going crazy, am i missing something or did she even get hacked, ive never seen anything like that before and i am very thankful for help. [link] [comments]  |
| Asus GT-AX11000 and Xbox not playing nice. Xbox gets kicked off Posted: 30 Nov 2019 07:10 PM PST I am having a weird issue on my Xbox as of late and I am not 100% sure what might be the cause. Noticing after turning off my Xbox at night (Stand by) it disconnects from my Wifi and will not reconnect when I turn it back on. Couple times it has disconnected while playing, but luckily that has only been a couple times. The only way to get my Xbox to reconnect it to reboot it and it will automatically reconnect. I have removed my network setting from the Xbox and added it back and I still keep on having the same issue. I have had this Xbox since 2014, and this is the first time having this issues. No other items on my network are having this issue. Thanks for any help. [link] [comments]  |
| Is this true concerning Routers? Posted: 30 Nov 2019 07:10 PM PST Was told that the numbers that follow the router name like " TP Link AC4000" or "Asus AX6100" represent the square footage that that specific router covers. So the Asus covers 6100 square feet. True or BS? [link] [comments]  |
| Weird hack-y home internet solution I am trying to figure out. Posted: 30 Nov 2019 08:08 AM PST I live far out in the middle of nowhere, no ISPs around here will hook me up with anything besides satellite, which I refuse to buy (too slow). I usually hook up PDANet which uses my cellular data to get a hotspot without any throttling from my ISP. I recently got a hand on an Apple Airport Extreme (A1408). So my question is with a ethernet cable plugged into my PC, is there a way to bridge that connection to the WiFi Router, and give WiFi access to all of my devices (switch, other phones, pc, etc.)?

| Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 C7000v2. Amber light next to ethernet port. Posted: 30 Nov 2019 06:24 PM PST Hi There, I have the above router, my first one since I stopped renting one from Comca$t. Everything seems to work great but often I get this amber flickering light from the ethernet port where my computer connects. Usually it's green. Internet connectivity seems perfectly fine. Is there anything I need to know or do? Thanks in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| Which router, more confused than ever Posted: 30 Nov 2019 10:16 AM PST Hey everyone, I am switching internet providers to fios the 400mbps. I am looking to get my own router instead of renting and I was very certain about the netgear nighthawk r7000 ac2300. Now going through the forums on verizon I read people saying no its best to have the ubiquiti or amplifi due to updates so I decided to ask for advise in here instead. I live in a medium nyc apartment and I use it for my chromecast, gaming on my desktop, chromebook and phone. I need something reliable, fast and fairly easy to set up, my knowledge on this is decent lol. Now I am completely lost which of the two to get! They are coming to set up my internet in a week and I want to have it before then. Please help! [link] [comments]  |
| How do I disable QoS and traffic optimization on TP-Link switch TL-SG105 Posted: 30 Nov 2019 05:44 PM PST I don't see any interface to access to turn these features off as I want Eero to control everything. The switch is advertised with: Traffic Optimization802.1p and DSCP QoS enable smooth latency-sensitive traffic such as voice and video, and IGMP Snooping optimizes the Multicast data stream. I tried to chat with TP-Link but they said with respect to the QoS: "sorry but we do not have it on this switch" and to also check my router settings which doesn't make any sense. How do I verify that the Traffic Optimization/QoS function for this switch is disabled? [link] [comments]  |
| How am I supposed to play competitive multiplayer games with terrible ping spikes like this? Posted: 30 Nov 2019 10:09 AM PST Look at this image of my latency tests. No matter what I change on my router I can't eliminate them. Changing the Wi-Fi channel to find any improvements will result in maybe one or two less ping spikes every few seconds. They're still constant and ruin how well I can play FPS games online. No matter how fast my reaction times or my accuracy. If I'm getting ping spikes like these as I spot an enemy, I'm fucked. So many times I've been shot around corners also, thinking it was the games shitty netcode (which I'm sure will be part of it, but not much). Am I doomed to always have a bad online experience? I live in a flat with lots of neighbouring routers surrounding me in all directions. I don't know if it's simply congestion causing these ping spikes, or if it's the routers processor being unable keep up like the quad-core routers I've seen on the market, or if it's because my router doesn't have a QOS system like fancy routers, or maybe a combination of all those factors. Would buying something like a Netgear Netduma router that uses a quad-core CPU and has QOS solve this? Before anyone comments about using Ethernet. I can't install a cable into my walls as I do not own the property. I can't trail a cable around either as then I wouldn't be able to close the doors fully. I've tried PowerLine adaptors and I get worse performance than using Wi-Fi. Most likely I have bad wiring or the power cables are picking up interference from neighbours routers, thus acting as antennas and not really solving anything. I don't know if moving somewhere else could be the only potential solution or what. Is there something I could change on my SuperHub 2 to eliminate this? Is there something I'm missing? I'm pulling my hair out with this, I just want to play online FPS games like Call of Duty without network connection bullshit bottlenecking my performance. EDIT I know Imgur doesn't load well sometimes, but basically I have constant 1000ms+ ping spikes. Some I've seen hitting 3000ms. Causing me to lag behind other players by full seconds in online multiplayer games, making them feel unplayable unless I kill enemies from behind. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Nov 2019 08:43 AM PST Hello guys, I'm trying to setup a home network using ubiquity's access points. My home is 3 levels, I have Verizon Fios, and I had a few questions. 1) would I experience less signal degradation running a longer fiber cable to my ONT, and thus shortening the cat6 pulls, or would it be better to have the ONT setup as close to the service drop and have longer cat6 pulls. Instinctively I feel like the longer fiber pull, with shorter cat6 pulls, would result in a better experience. [link] [comments]  |
| Intermittent Issues Connecting To Websites Part 2 Posted: 30 Nov 2019 04:00 PM PST About a month ago, I posted this thread, and unfortunately the problem has not fully resolved itself, though a possibly temporary solution has been found. The homeowner eventually called customer support - I wasn't there to hear the conversation so I can only relay what the homeowner told me - but they described it as though it were an issue with bandwidth being saturated or going over some kind of limit (?), and causing the internet to go down. This didn't make much sense to me, but their recommendation was to throttle traffic leaving any ethernet-connected devices and see if it resolved the problem. Currently, my PC is the only ethernet-connected device on the network, so I set up traffic throttling on my PC so that only about 60% of our maximum speeds (1.4mb/s) can enter or exit my PC. To my surprise, this actually seems to be resolving the problem. The internet now only ever goes down if I disable the throttling, with the same behavior as described in the previous thread. I'm monitoring the speeds leaving and entering my PC and it's not like there's a large download in progress that's hogging all the bandwidth, plus once the internet goes down it stays down even after I unplug the ethernet cable from my PC. Someone mentioned an issue with MTU size, so I dropped it from 1500 to 1000, but that didn't solve anything. The network throttling technically works, but obviously isn't a permanent solution and I'd really like to understand what is happening here so I can find a more permanent solution that doesn't involve me losing half the speeds we're paying for.

| Posted: 30 Nov 2019 03:49 PM PST Hi guys, new here. I am not tek savvy guy, my router tplink c9 just died on me :( and i need to get a new one. I was happy with that one but maybe there is something better out there now that i could get instead. I live a townhome, so i need something good to be able to hit all 3 floors. I usually play netflix and amazon prime, ps4 and mostly use the wifi for our phones. I know there are a lot of options out there and its overwhelming! Also don't want to spend a fortune of course. If you have any suggestions please let me know :) thank you. [link] [comments]  |
| Wifi for guests with a different DNS? Posted: 30 Nov 2019 03:01 PM PST I have a TPLink Archer C7 with wireless disabled connected to a Unifi AP Lite. I have two separate SSIDs but can't find an option to change DNS settings for the guest network. My issue is that I have a pihole setup to block a lot of facebook/instagram/social domains and other coupon sites, etc. that some guests to my house want. Over Thanksgiving I just disabled the pihole while they were over but I'd rather not do that at Christmas. Is there anyway to change DNS for guest network without the Unifi Security Gateway? I didn't see an option on the Archer C7 either. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Nov 2019 02:40 PM PST I have my router up high but my modem is restricted to the below area closer to the power outlet because the coax cable in the wall that goes in to the modem is very short only about 3 feet so it cant go up very far. Does placement matter for modem or only for router as far as height goes? [link] [comments]  |
| Not sure what to replace FIOS router with Posted: 30 Nov 2019 02:16 PM PST I currently have a G1100 router I'm renting from Verizon, and I'm looking to switch to buying my own router as it seems like that could save me money in the long run. Initially, I saw the Nighthawk RAX35 on sale for just under $100, but I did some googling and most people are recommending Ubiquity. Problem is, I'm not able to run CAT5 through the walls (mom's rules) so the edgerouterx + AP combo seems like less of an option. My house is fairly large (5500 sq. ft. between 3 floors) and the router currently sits at the corner of the house in the office. The internet plan is 1Gbps up/down and the room adjacent to it is able to get 250mbps down on 5GHz, but going up 1 floor midway through the house my computer is only getting 10mbps down (2.4GHz) and the garage on the other end of the house barely gets a signal. My budget is $200 and I did consider a mesh network device such as the Orbi or Google Wifi, but those don't seem great for gaming (even though I game on wifi anyway). What would be a good replacement router that can offer a decent range boost over the FIOS G1100 router? [link] [comments]  |
