| Help me find a wall plate with (US) power and RJ45 ethernet on the side. Posted: 15 Dec 2019 05:50 PM PST Years ago I bought a wall plate that added a F-type coax and an RJ11 connector to an existing two-outlet US power wall cover without having to increase the size of the junction box behind it. It looked like this https://i.imgur.com/mIphRcj.jpg I'd like a similar wall plate but RJ45 instead of RJ11. It will be used in a space-constrained area (behind a TV) where there isn't any room for a double-wide wall plate or junction box. Does anyone know of anything like that? [link] [comments]  |

| D-Link 24 port gigabit switch died DGS-1024A Posted: 15 Dec 2019 06:01 PM PST So, what is a "limited lifetime warranty" for them anyway? Should I bother or just get a new one? Recommendations? How do I know it died? I plugged one cable into it that gave it an IP from the router, and another that I know was asking for an IP. No lights. No IP delivered. Nothing. Took the cover off and it all looks fine and clean inside. Not sure how long I have had it. I would guess at least 5 years. Found the box and it cost me $100 at MicroCenter. [link] [comments]  |
| Suggestions for a new wifi router. Posted: 15 Dec 2019 02:34 PM PST I am planning on buying a new router for my house. As the one we currently just can't keep up anymore. The devices that caught my attention are: Archer C7: https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/wifi-router/archer-c7/ Archer AX10: https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/wifi-router/archer-ax10/ Archer AX50: https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/wifi-router/archer-ax50/ Which should I go for? Is the AX50 significantly better compared to the AX10 and C7? I am open to suggestions. My budget is <$100. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 Dec 2019 11:53 AM PST Hi all, As a Christmas gift I got my in-laws google wifi (two pucks, first gen - not the brand new nest ones), but their setup is unfortunately a little more complicated than I anticipated. First, they have a modem/router which has these connections: Black cord goes to a Buffalo Share NAS White skinny/flat cord (bottom left) connects to first google wifi puck Grey cord bottom right connects to a PC in that same room Grey cord top right (blue cap) connects to a switch on the other side of the house (runs through the basement) On that switch, we have the second google wifi puck (it's too far by just one wall to maintain a reliably strong wifi mesh without a hardwire connection), a roku, and this odd thing that creates a network via the electrical system in the house: https://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/powerline/xavb1301.aspx#tab-techspecs On the other end of that, a desktop is connected upstairs. My issue is that I cannot seem to have a good network (strong wifi) AND have the buffalo share available to all computers. The best I can do is to have the buffalo share available to everyone except that PC upstairs connected via the electrical wiring OR all PC's connected to the buffalo share but unreliable wifi (making the google wifi hub purchase pointless). I have tried these configurations: modem/router connects directly to: PC in that room, Buffalo share, and the first google wifi puck. Google wifi puck then connects (out bound) to the switch. Second google wifi puck connects to the switch. this results in great wifi, but buffalo share unavailable on pc upstairs (available elsewhere) modem/router connects directly to: PC in that room, Buffalo share, and the first google wifi puck. Google wifi puck then connects (out bound) to the switch. Second google wifi puck connects directly to the first google wifi puck inbound, then outbound to the switch. I believe his has same results as above. modem/router connects directly to: PC in that room, Buffalo share, the switch, and google wifi puck. Second google wifi puck plugs into switch (but that seems to not help anything since it doesn't directly link to the first puck via hardwire this way). I believe the buffalo share works on all devices this way, but the wifi is less reliable. modem/router connects directly to: PC in that room, Buffalo share, the switch, and google wifi puck. Second google wifi puck plugs into the switch, and then outbound I plug that electrical networking device into the google wifi (out). At this point, I'm now unable to revert things back to get the desktop upstairs using the buffalo share again. I may try rebooting everything [link] [comments]  |
| Why is Moca such an obscure tech? Posted: 15 Dec 2019 07:45 AM PST Okay after looking around I think a couple of moca adapters is what I need. I live in Vietnam and cant actually find any on google, even on taobao, the place you look for stuff u can't find on local sites. What gives? [link] [comments]  |
| Difference between Ubiquiti EdgeRouter POE and Edgerouter-X SPF? Posted: 15 Dec 2019 04:40 PM PST What's the difference between the Edgerouter POE and Edgerouter-X SPF? I read that the SPF is passive POE, but I could not figure out what this means. I basically want to use the routers to support Ubiquiti APs plus a few ethernet connected devices. Any advice?

| Ethernet splitter / switch question Posted: 15 Dec 2019 02:19 PM PST I'm currently in the process of upgrading my Comcast service to 1Gig speed but I've come across an issue. The modem they provide only has 2 ethernet ports instead of the 4 I currently have. I keep hearing mixed reviews about splitters and I'm trying to get a proper rundown on the situation. Will using a splitter reduce my internet speed? I have at least 4 devices that I'd want hardwired at all times since we have multiple people using the internet. I've seen a few people also suggest ethernet switches, but I'd imagine that just let's you choose which ports to use rather than adding more. Is that the case or would a switch allow more connections at the same time? Sorry if this is all a little jumbled, I'm not too knowledgeable on the subject. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

| Posted: 15 Dec 2019 04:22 PM PST Hi all, Looking for advice on ADSL modems , I'm in Australia if that makes any difference. I done a google search...but not sure if those reviews on top modems are sponsored or not? I would like top of the range, yes I'm also a gamer. Thanks all merry xmas. [link] [comments]  |
| Router + 1 AP, new build, 1400sqft apartment. Which to buy? Posted: 15 Dec 2019 11:11 AM PST I've been on this journey now for a few months, and THINK i have what I need to do. Long story short: 1400sqft brownstone floor apartment, and I have one central point where the cable modem will be. I have CAT6 running to both ends of the apartment, but I think I only need one main router in the middle and an AP in the north side. So which to buy? I am handy and tech savvy but also just kind of don't want to bite off more than I can chew in the long run. So, UDM plus one AC Lite, right? Modem into the UDM, UDM into wall CAT6, AC Lite into wall CAT6? Is it that easy? And if I need to add a second AP on the south side, would be the same setup right? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 Dec 2019 01:51 PM PST I have a TP-Link Archer C59 with multiple smart home devices connected. I'm having two issues. One is my 2.4 ghz WiFi saying incorrect password when you try to connect. The other is one or two of my devices not staying connected probably because of the WIFI crashing and forgetting the password. I had a theory that it was because of a limit on the router for the amount of devices being connected so I increased the DHCP IP address limit. This didn't work either. Please help [link] [comments]  |
| ASUS RT-AC58U vs ASUS RT-AC59U Posted: 15 Dec 2019 12:08 PM PST My parents have a 100Mbps fibernet connection with a potato Dlink router which barely gives coverage or throughput. I am planning to upgrade the router to ASUS AC1300 or AC1500 (the new one). I don't see much information online or reviews on youtube for the latter. It will be used for heavy HD streaming, video calls, and surveillance cameras. Since the price difference is not much, which one should I go for? [link] [comments]  |
| In search of (tiny) 4 port quality switches Posted: 15 Dec 2019 03:50 PM PST I've installed a LAN and ethernet ports all over the house and in each room. But they're never enough. At my daughters room for example I've got at least 3. devices: pc, PS4, tv. So I'm looking for no more than 4 ports switches. I've spent quite a bit on my fiber connectivity and also on the devices attached so I'd like to buy good switches. I don't want to go to the 20 dollars tp-link. But neither can I buy a 48 port Cisco. What should I look for ? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 Dec 2019 01:31 PM PST I am kind of new to networking. Currently I have 2 servers and one desktop PC in my lab network. All of them have at least one 1g (RJ45) and at least one 10g (SFP+) connection. Switches are one HP1810 48 port and one MikroTik CRS305. Everything is managed by pfSense at the moment. I would like to use the 10g network solely for internal transfers (nas to pc/ server, backups, deployments etc.) and give every PC/ Server/ VM a second 1g connection for internet traffic. Currently, everything (besides a few vlans) runs over the 10g connection. Everything works fine and there is actually no need to separate the networks. It would be a nice thing to have though. I could learn a lot and give only the machines internet access that need it in an easy way. Is what I am planning even possible? How would the PCs know which route to take (1g / 10g) for internal traffic? I definitely dont want to start editing host files on every PC / Server / VM. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 Dec 2019 06:56 PM PST Hi guys, I bought a TP-Link Archer C7, to use because our Virgin media super hub 3 wasn't holding a very stable connection. I couldn't game without lots of lag, the 5Ghz was unusable and we normally gave about 12 devices connected (rented house). We have a fibre connection which comes in on cable coax to the super hub in modem mode which is connected from ethernet port 1 to the internet port on the archer C7 in full router mode. Unfortunately the connection still isnt great, the range is much better but its intermittent and the connection can go from very good to terrible, more so than the media hub ever did but we needed to upgrade as we couldnt get wifi in the kitchen and it couldn't handle multiple devices. We normally get like 300mbps through ethernet, we usually have about 4 devices running something intense at any given time ( Chromecast, games, twitch/Netflix). Does anybody have any advice on what my next steps should be to fight this problem? I can supply more information if needed too, I'm pretty new to this so I don't know how best to proceed [link] [comments]  |
| Help me figure out why I can't access my server from public IP Posted: 15 Dec 2019 06:56 PM PST I'm trying to set up a computer connected via Ethernet cable to my router as a server, accessible from the public Internet. My router is an Archer C9 and I'm getting internet from Xfinity/Comcast. I've used the TP-Link admin panel to reserve a specific (local) IP address for the server. I'm also using a utility called Here's my issue: When I try to visit my server's public IP address while I'm connected to my home WiFi network, I get this error message in the browser:
Trying to visit the IP address from outside the home WiFi network doesn't yield anything. The browser is unable to connect. If I visit the local IP address, I can successfully access the server. It shows me the default nginx welcome page. It's only the public IP address that isn't working. My UFW settings on the server currently allow all incoming traffic on ports 80 and 443 (v4 and v6). I'm currently using the default nginx configuration file. I'm beating my head against this one, and I don't know what next to investigate. Can anyone help me figure this out? Thanks in advance.

| eero Mesh WiFi system...worth it? Posted: 15 Dec 2019 06:33 PM PST So, right now, we have our router on our second floor I play games in the basement (lol let the jokes come), and WiFi can be very hit or miss. Sometimes it's ok, others the latency and ping are 500+, but almost always there is issues - it's never smooth Would the eero WiFi Mesh really help with online gaming in the basement, or will it just be the same Our house is roughly 4K square feet [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 Dec 2019 05:37 PM PST Hello all, I currently have Cisco ASA acting as facing internet router / FW. Below is current set up... ISP-> ASA -> Edge switch (192.168.1.1/24) -> Google Wifi (192.168.1.2/24, WAN IP) -> client (192.168.2.1/24) -> labtop, pi, and etc -> LAB 192.168.1.3/24 -> LAB 192.168.1.4/24 -> LAB 192.168.1.5/24 -> LAB 192.168.1.6/24 -> LAB 192.168.1.7/24 and more... I've separated into two different network 1.1 and 2.1 for a reason. I'm ABLE to ping everything from google wifi network, 2.1, to out to 1.1 and Internet (8.8.8.8). However, I'm NOT ABLE to ping anything from 192.168.1.1/24 to any device sitting behind Google Wifi network. I can't even ping 192.168.1.2 from Edge switch or any other lab devices. For example, I can't get ping my pi who is 192.168.2.5 from 1.1/24 network. ---------------------Working--------------------- Pinging from 192.168.2.1/24 -> 192.168.1.1/24 Pinging from 192.168.2.1 -> out to internet, for example, 8.8.8.8 ---------------------NOT working--------------------- Pinging from 192.168.1.1 -> 192.168.2.1/24 I'm trying to make 1.1 to talk to 2.1 network. any idea / help will be appreciate it!

| program to view bandwidth utilization Posted: 15 Dec 2019 01:42 PM PST Hi all, is there a program which allows me to view my bandwidth and each device that is utilizing the bandwidth. I'd like to ultimately see which of my devices are a bandwidth hog. I've read about a few, but they seem difficulty to configure. I am looking for something straightforward and rather easy. any suggestions and feedback are highly appreciated. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Upgraded bt home hub now my contrend powerline adapters are completely unreliable. Posted: 15 Dec 2019 11:57 AM PST Prior to upgrading the hub, i had a powerline set up and on the receiver i had a tplink access point. this access point barely ever had issues unlike now where it will drop for many hours at a time despite the main hub being up. I can even have double green lights showing a stable connection for the powerlines, but then wifi dies at "obtaining ip address" is this just a "re-pair the adapters" issue or could it be the tplink AP needs a factory reset? or could there be something to do with the new bthubs and powerline+AP not pairing nicely? ive noticed also that whenever my xbox is connected to the AC the wifi works perfectly, its like it NEEDS a connection that isnt a laptop or phone to work [link] [comments]  |
| Trying to upgrade our router. Nothing is going right! Posted: 15 Dec 2019 03:41 PM PST Sorry in advance, I'm new to this & not quite sure of all the correct terminology! We have internet through a local company called Bevcomm. My fiance moved into this apartment 6 years ago & can't remember their equipment ever being upgraded/replaced. Sometimes we have really spotty connections in the bedroom. So we thought we should upgrade to some decent! We bought the Netgear AC1750 router. Neither of us thought about a modem because we were used to just the one box. So then we buy the Arris Surfboard SB6190 cable modem. That needs a coax cable to recieve the signal. The device from the company has a cat5 that the end was cut to just but the blue & white wires into an end plug that looks like an ethernet plug. The other wires are just wrapped around where the cut the casing. This cord just comes down from the ceiling, so no spot to just screw in a new cable. There is a coax in the bedroom. The long one coming out of the ceiling is blank, hut the short one connected to it has Dish Network branding on it. Is there a modem that doesn't need coax? How difficult/expensive would it be to get a coax point installed as we're just renting? Should we just return what we have & deal with stupid internet until we're finally able to move (whenever that might happen)? [link] [comments]  |
| Need some help and advice on setting up my own separate network at home Posted: 15 Dec 2019 03:38 PM PST Okay so I am planning on getting my own internet at home , my home at the moment has about 10 devices connected on about a 30mbps connection some of the devices are only used for browsing but it's mostly tablets and consoles that are using the majority of the bandwidth and games can be laggy which gets annoying, and I'm expecting by Christmas there will be around 14-15 devices connected with family getting new devices , it'll cost me about 280 altogether to set up my own internet, that includes 4G router (fastest available option in my area )external antenna and Ethernet cable, I do a fair bit of gaming and watch a lot of Netflix aswell and so do my brothers in my family and I'm just wondering would it be worth my while doing this , I kind of want to do this too to balance out the connections too have half the devices on my network and half on the other maybe so everyone has a pleasant streaming and gaming experience in my home it's just going to cost me , any help or advice would be greatly appreciated... thanks , just a side note too 4G is the only reliable connection I can get in my area there's no fiber or anything so it's my only real option [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 Dec 2019 03:28 PM PST Recently got Google Fiber and my powerline has bottleneck the internet to my PC significantly, I've looked into MoCa and tried it and it just didn't work for me. What is the best WiFi extender for a room with a PC and Xbox (Can I use other wifi extenders or do I have to use a Wifi from Google for it to be compatible with Google Fiber.) Best WIFI adapter for my PC. Note: With the powerline I'm getting like 25 up and down, and with wifi (that is near router/modem maybe around 50 up and down) But if I test it around the router with wifi, 400+ up and down [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 15 Dec 2019 03:25 PM PST We do not have Ethernet wired through our whole house but we have Coax. I am trying to find a way to convert Ethernet into coax into a completely different room. (Internet > Modem > {Adapter} > Coax output into a computer) Does anybody know anything that I could buy? Also, anything that's not super expensive? [link] [comments]  |
