| Posted: 27 Feb 2020 05:53 PM PST I want to keep tabs on how much data is flowing through my computer's network connection. On Windows I use Glasswire but it isn't available on Linux. Is there a software for Linux that just runs in the background and logs how much data has been sent and received? Ideally I would like something that can show network usage by day, week or month, maybe even by year. I would also like it to be able to differentiate between network traffic on multiple interfaces, such as Ethernet vs. Wi-Fi vs. the VPN connection, and also be able to differentiate between the amount of data uploaded vs downloaded. Command line only is fine. Can anyone make a recommendation? [link] [comments]  |
| What's the fastest ethernet network I can run on cat 5e? Posted: 27 Feb 2020 07:39 AM PST My house is wired with cat 5e and I am running a gigabit ethernet. Is there a way to run a faster switch? the network is the bottleneck when I transfer files between two machines with SSD. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Feb 2020 04:41 PM PST Port Forwarding query! Hello all, I am creating my Home Automation system and have a quick question I have several applications running on different ports but from the same IP Address EG Port 8123 & 1883 Is it possible to have this set up so both can be accessed via [external-ip/domain]:2000? Instead of setting up 2 different external ports? Thanks Joshua! [link] [comments]  |
| Cat5e Vs Cat6 for home network ( future proofing ) Posted: 27 Feb 2020 04:17 PM PST HiI am getting a friend who's an electrician to help install data points throughout my home He uses Cat5e but I originally wanted Cat6 The stuff I will be running are CCTV cameras. 4k streaming devices. Media server. And regular computer stuff Just double checked the speeds and they both do gigabit. I have a gigabit router to I just wanted to ensure say in 10 + years I am not bottle-necked with older cable. Cat 5e is cheaper though The difference I found is Cat5e can go gigabit speeds up to 50 meters and cat6 up to 100 meters My house is no mansion unfortunately so 50 meters is within my requirement Only difference I am unsure about is cat6 can transmit data at a higher mhz speed at 250mhz vs 100 mhz with cat5e Unsure what this impact will be from now and even say in 10-15 years What do people think here?

| Is it possible for someone to find your ip address using your physical address? Posted: 27 Feb 2020 03:57 PM PST I was wondering because people can find your exact location through your ip address, so I was wondering if the reverse is possible. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Feb 2020 04:24 PM PST Hi Folks, I am a beginner in home networking but i am finally giving it a go after getting tired of constant Wifi speed and signal issues. Here is what i am planning and some issues i have come across. My home is a relatively new home built in the early 2010s but aside from one Coaxial outlet in the so called "Tech Room" (aka corner of my living room, i dont have any other connectors. None whatsoever. The coaxial was replaced with a cat cable by a technician from our internet provider a few years ago and it connects the modem (Bell Modem) on the first floor to the router (Bell Home Hub 3000) on the second floor. Yes, i am in Toronto, Canada. Anyways, i initially wanted to run a Cat6 cable throughout the house and i wanted the wires to be behind dry walls with one RJ45 Outlet in every room. But i dont know how the house is wired or even, how to run the cables through the walls in the first place. So now, i have decided that i will just run one main cable along the corners and up to the 3rd floor and use a staple gun to hold them down. Then, i will install a network switch on one room and run more cat6 along walls to the rest of the rooms. So far, i have bought a monoprice crimpter, some pass through rj45 plugs, 250ft of cat6 cable, and a netgear 8 port network switch. But after looking closely to the wire connecting the modem and the router, it appears to be a cat5e. Keep in mind that i have fiber optics up to the modem and cat from then on to the router. I am now wondering if there is any chance that i replace the one installed by the technician with my some of my own leftover cat 6 cable. If so, how should i go about doing this? i took a look at the cable coming out of the wall on the second floor and a slight pull makes me think its tied down or stapled along the way. Will this even make a difference for now? Also, i am looking for any other suggestions as to the best way of going about this. personally i would prefer that the cables were not so easily seen (i did buy white cable) and was looking for more a "flushed" look. I would really appreciate some feedback on this. Thank you in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| Anyone using a OpenBSD router? Posted: 27 Feb 2020 10:32 AM PST I want to buy a compatible device with OpenBSD to try some routing and stuff... Anyone using it that can provide information like availability, if it's stable or not and what's the performance like. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| Any way to salvage my beloved Cellspot router? (TM-AC1900/Asus AC-68U) Posted: 27 Feb 2020 05:06 PM PST T-Mobile had this awesome deal 4-5 years ago where you could put down a small deposit and get a free "cellspot" Wi-Fi router (an Asus AC-68U, rebranded as a TM-AC1900). It's ostensibly for boosting the quality of in-home Wi-Fi calling, but also happens to be an excellent $200-value router on its own, with high speeds, advanced controls, media sharing, etc. I love it! Unfortunately, after a recent power surge fried the Xfinity gateway it was plugged into, I've been having trouble connecting it to a new third-party cable modem (a Netgear CM500). The modem works -- it's registered with Xfinity, and a laptop plugged directly in will get internet (although you have to power-cycle the modem to swap in another device). And the router still works -- it powers on, broadcasts Wi-Fi, and I can log into the settings page normally. But I suspect the power surge may have damaged the router's WAN port -- connecting it to the modem's Ethernet port doesn't trigger lights on either device (although LAN ports 2-4 do), and trying the router's Quick Internet Set-up wizard acts like it's not plugged into anything. Factory resets on both devices haven't helped. I've tried exchanging it, but this particular model is no longer available, having been replaced with new, non-router LTE cellspots that only do cellular boosting. My questions:
I'm reasonably tech savvy, but some of question 2 and all of question 3 are outside my experience, so please explain as if to a very small child, or an idiot, or a very small child who is also an idiot. Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Feb 2020 01:40 PM PST Hello all, after years of "renting" a gateway from my IPS, I am going to buy a cable modem / router. Things sure have changed last time I bought a wireless router! I have a couple items I am curious what you all think:
Thanks for feedback suggestions. I have been searching this subreddit for recommendations on routers to get. Is there is a faq / wiki showing popular ones people purchase? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 27 Feb 2020 08:26 PM PST Hi All, I have this modem set up in my living room. It is pretty bad at sending signals through walls as my connection in my room and downstairs are pretty bad. What do I need to do to extend the range? I don't have any ethernet ports downstairs or in any rooms. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| ISP router and Asus router working together (VPN, subnet, IP cameras) Posted: 27 Feb 2020 02:56 AM PST Please bare with me on the length of this post. So I have an ISP router (RT1) connected to the internet and running wi-fi around the house and the 192.168.1.xxx subnet. I have bought Asus router (RT2) (Blue Cave AC2600, mainly because of the price, design etc.). One or main reasons was to allow me to set up VPN into my home network because I run IP cameras around the house and I do not let their traffic out of the home network. Asus router however runs on 192.168.2.xxx. I can get into the router through VPN from the outside, but since the cameras have been in place before the Asus router, they have a 192.168.1.xxx address therefore I cannot see them through the VPN. I have DHCP turned off on RT2 and I have tried connecting RT1 to RT2 using LAN to LAN ports rather than LAN to WAN ports. I have managed to put RT2 on 192.168.1.xxx network and everything is working except internet->RT2 connection, I think RT2->internet worked. what am I doing wrong? Is it better/easier to just try to force/transfer the CCTV system (cameras, storage and PC) to RT2's network and keep the working two networks in place? Not sure how to do this yet but I could try figuring it out. [link] [comments]  |

| Consumer grade WAP with external power supplies? Posted: 27 Feb 2020 07:43 PM PST Hi. I have a 5500sqft lath and plaster house wherein (about seven years ago) I installed a bunch of Ethernet jacks throughout, finished with Apple Airport Expresses. I had to make one compromise, however-- in an upstairs closet I have no power, so I ran some doorbell wire (something like that; I did the voltage drop calculation and I have a margin ) to carry DC from an Airport Extreme external power supply through a plenum. It won't win any design awards but it's functional and hidden. I used molex connectors, it's pretty clean, could be worse, whatever. Unfortunately the Airport Extreme is dying. Do any reputable manufacturers still make a WAP with a power brick so I can continue to use the DC-through-the-ductwork solution? It seems like everything I can find has an integrated DC supply (or maybe the manufacturer doesn't put the brick in the photo of the device). Price isn't really an object if it's commensurate with value. [link] [comments]  |
| Software to manage all the devices connected to a WLAN Posted: 27 Feb 2020 06:41 AM PST I want to see all the devices connected to a WLAN and have the possibility to grant/deny the access to each one separately. Even better if I can see the usage of each one (connection time, data consumption, etc.). I have a router from my ISP on floor 1 and Tp-Link Powerline + Range Extender on floor 2.

| Setting up Load Balancing Router TP Link TL-R47t+ Posted: 27 Feb 2020 07:37 PM PST I have a Load Balancing Router TP Link TL-R47t+ that I want to connect to 2 incoming wireless broadband connections. Both are from different wireless internet providers and both have different max speeds. (they are both unlimited total bandwidth). What I am wondering is what settings are important to allow the router to keep traffic moving to the WAN port with the best current speed. Being wireless they tend to fluctuate more than others I find so just to tell the router that WAN 1 is 15Mbs and the WAN 2 is 30Mbs is not always the case in poor weather or heavy traffic. Is there a way to allow the router to monitor the speed and if one WAN port is slow at the time will it divert traffic to the faster WAN at the time? Will it automatically switch WAN ports if it sees that one has failed. Thanks, [link] [comments]  |

| Connecting a Cisco Aironet 1252 Access point to an ADSL router Posted: 27 Feb 2020 12:55 PM PST I have a stupid question. If I create an SSID and password on an autonomous Cisco Aironet 1252 access point then connect it to the ethernet port on my netgear ADSL router which has a different SSID and password, will I be able to access the internet if I connect to the aironet SSID or do I have to do something on my Netgear router?

| Posted: 27 Feb 2020 06:38 PM PST Hello, So I have the actiontec Moca adapters installed and they currently work but it seems that my speeds are dropping tremendously in the evening. Right now my download speeds are at 5mbps when they should be 100+ I am not sure if it is because my Moca adapters are not installed correctly or what. I could really use some help trying to figure out fixing these internet speeds. This is the diagram of how the adapters are currently setup. In the living room there are 2 coax wall ports. 1 bring the ISP internet directly into the cable modem and the other is hooked up to the cable box. I have a POE filter for the ISP coax coming in, but I am wondering if there should be another POE or if the setup is just wrong? Maybe I should use a splitter on the second Moca adapter for the cable box and the moca adapter? [link] [comments]  |

| What equipment would use choose to have a reliable fast network between these three buildings? Posted: 27 Feb 2020 05:41 AM PST The lay of the land Our house is a 3-bed detached cottage, with the external walls being 50cm (20 inches) of stone. To the left of it, 23m away, is a wooden outbuilding that we plan to use as our home office. Small, 6m x 5m. To the right of it, 11m away, is another wooden outbuilding that we plan to use as our gym. Again, small, 8m x 5m. I've approximated when I say the buildings are left and right of the house as well, they're actually at angles, which means the 50cm stone wall suddenly becomes (effectively) up to 75cm (30 inches). Our broadband Our home broadband is 60Mbit down/10Mbit up. But in theory could be upgraded to 300Mbit down/30Mbit up in the next year or two. Regardless, sometimes it's useful to transmit/stream a local file, so I'd like 100Mbit as a bare minimum. Ideally a lot more. Current gear Currently I have an Asus RT-AC68U set up roughly in the middle of the house, and it gives good coverage in the house but essentially nothing outside. Not that surprising with those stone walls! I've also bought two Asus RT-AC57U for each outbuilding, but they might be surplus to requirements and be sent back. Our needs What I want is to have perfectly reliable and fast wifi in the house and both outbuildings. My wife and I will both use a cycling virtual-reality thing called Zwift in the gym, and she will be using a corporate VPN in the office. Essentially, if the wifi drops out in either building it could be Really. Fvcking. Annoying. A whole Zwift ride could be "lost", and her VPN can take quite a while to reconnect if disconnected. Why not cables? My initial thought was cables. To the point that I started digging a trench to the first outbuilding, and bought PVC conduit, and galvanised pipes to reinforce it under the gravel driveway, and tools to chisel a channel through the concrete under the patio, etc etc etc... ...and then I made the mistake of going online and reading about buried ethernet cables and the overwhelming advice is "DON'T". Apparently they can encourage lightning strikes, and fry anything they're connected to if there's a strike even hundreds of metres away. And then people talk about different ground potentials of different buildings and how that in itself is a problem... yada yada yada. Some people seem to think there's nothing to worry about, others think there's everything to worry about. Very confusing, frankly. OK, fiber? So then I looked at fibre. All the benefits of a cable with none of the electrical worries. And my trench won't be wasted, hooray! I spent ages researching, and bought mikrotik boxes to sit at each end. Right, just the fibre cable itself to get... let's chat to fs.com (as advised on here) and see what they recommend. Oh ok, heinously expensive "military grade" outdoor cable. Is there a cheaper outdoor cable option? Somehow it appears not, even if water ingresss is the only concern (as opposed to sunlight and abrasion). And it won't arrive for a month either. So too expensive, and not soon enough. Fiber is out. OK. No ethernet, and no fiber. Wireless it has to be then - I think...? Fuck it, I'll fill the trench in. I don't care any more, I just want to buy something and have this work. I think the thickness of the stone walls here precludes simply having an uber-AP in the house (or even one at each end of the house) and beaming wifi directly from the house to laptops/tablets/phones in the outbuildings -- even if the AP's wifi would reach the outbuildings, there's no way my phone's transmit power is high enough to reach back. So the solutions are, presumably: 1) bolt PtP devices on each outbuilding and each end wall of the house, with PoE coming through the wall from the router inside. 2) I wonder if three better routers like UAP-AC-PRO or UAP-HD would do the job. Have one in the house and bridge it to two more in the outbuildings. Maybe I've misunderstood how this works, but I think my phone would talk to the local UAP-HD, and it would relay the signal on to the one in the house. Would that work over these distances through 75cm of stone? What would you use, and why? Thank you, and if you read this far have a pat on the back, that was pretty tedious wasn't it!?

| Posted: 27 Feb 2020 10:20 AM PST Hi! I run a small office with 4 Macs currently. I use an Airport Extreme, I think the last version that was produced. I have an 8TB Seagate drive attached to the router and I setup up all the Macs (1 iMac, 3 Macbook Pros) to use that drive for Time Machine. This should work, and sometimes it does, but sometimes it doesn't and a machine might go two months without completing a backup. Obviously this is not a great system if it's only backing up intermittently. I'm open to any network storage solution, including a new router and hard drive. I just need to be confident in the backups. TLDR: What's the best way to Time Machine back up multiple Macs to a networked attached drive? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Feb 2020 01:24 PM PST Hey everyone! I just upgraded my internet from 40mb to 200mb download and upload. The modem my ISP gave me has Gigabit Ethernet, but it only has 2.4Ghz WiFi. The modem is upstairs in my bedroom but my office where I spend most of the time working on my computer, and the living room where we have our SmartTV and gaming consoles are downstairs and the wifi signal is really really weak, so I have a Cat5e Ethernet cable running down to my office to a Tp-Link WA850RE acting as an access point giving me wifi downstairs, but the wa850re only has 2.4Ghz so I'm only getting around 90mb download and 80 mb download. I want to get an access point that gives me 5Ghz to really get the 200mb speed. I'm looking at the Archer C6 AC1200 and the RE450 AC1750, but I don't know which one is better. I only use Wifi so I don't plan on using the Gigabit ports on the Archer C6. I'm wondering why the RE450 is more expensive. Does the RE450 has better Wifi signal, or is it because it's a relative newer product? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |

| Configuring Backup Internet When Both Connections Are DHCP Posted: 27 Feb 2020 11:20 AM PST I'm trying to make it easy to switch my entire home network to my Android's wifi tether when my cable internet goes down. The trouble I'm running into is that both internet connections are DHCP and have unpredictable gateways. From the cable modem, there's no telling what I'm going to get and they no longer sell static IP for residential. Android will always be 192.168.43.x but the gateway isn't 192.168.43.1, it's random. Router is an old Cisco 2851 with 15.1 IOS, Gi0/1 connects to a switch that I'm only doing layer 2 on. I first tried just building static routes like this (.2 is cable .3 is cell): ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 GigabitEthernet0/1.3 dhcp 10 ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 GigabitEthernet0/1.2 dhcp 20 That would work fine for switching to cell(just turn on the wifi, router pulls and IP and everything switched over). But when I want to switch back, I have to shutdown the .3 interface or something because .3 keeps its address even if the cell phone is disconnected. I also tried using ip sla(tried track on the IP route and 'ip dhcp client route track' on the interface), either to drop my primary connection or bring up the cell connection, but both fail. I can't configure sla reachability to my gateway because I don't know what that will be. Reachability fails to an internet IP because I don't have an IP route because reachability failed(they're circularly dependant on each other). Any suggestions would be great. The closest thing I found is this, but they're moving a tunnel, not routing: [link] [comments]  |
