| How to set up surveillance in a storage yard with no electricity/internet. Posted: 30 Sep 2020 02:27 PM PDT (If this is not the correct sub for this question, I apologize. Please kindly suggest a more appropriate sub.) We have a great surveillance system at our main location. I'd like to add 2-3 outdoor cameras in our auxiliary storage yard around the corner. Here are the limitations:
We figure we will install an appropriately sized solar panel with a battery to power whatever cameras we need. The problem I'm running into is how we connect the cameras to our server. The IT guy I'm working with keeps suggesting the Vosker V200 LTE cameras. I'm not stoked on the idea of creating a cellular subscription unless its my only option. I've seen long range wifi antennas, but admittedly I'm not familiar with the technology. There is a direct line of sight from our building to the corner of the yard. Could we simply set up 2-3 cameras, with solar power, and have the information travel via antenna back to our server? Thank you to anyone who can help or point me in the right direction.

| My local network is a mess, please help me figure out how to rebuild it properly. Posted: 30 Sep 2020 05:34 AM PDT My home network has been growing over the years. I've tried to keep it somewhat sane and tidy to the best of my knowledge, but it's not that great: all devices are on the same network, no IPv6 because I don't understand how to make it work alongside v4... My setup is like this:
Devices (wired, gigabit):
Wireless:
Guest wifi (isolated from main network and from each other):
The server has a bunch of services:
I realize I should segregate all these devices onto separate networks. For example, the TV or the PS4 don't need to be able to reach the printer or the smart lamps. But on the other hand, Home Assistant needs to reach all the devices including the TV, smart lamps, and Kodi media player while the iPhones also need to communicate with Kodi and Home Assistant or the PS4. The TV and movies downloading services also need to reach Kodi to update its database as things are added to the NAS. I would like the smart lamps to not be able to reach the internet directly: Home Assistant takes care of everything and is the one that needs Internet access along with being able to reach devices. Because of that, I don't know how to separate things into distinct networks: things that serve different purposes still have to talk to each other, and some serve several purposes at once (the server for instance). I don't mind adding smart switches to the network, but I'm completely lost on what to put on which network and how to go about IPv4 numbering. I'd like to enable IPv6 eventually, but it feels like I should do one thing at a time so I'd go with network planning first. What do you think? How would you split these across networks? Should I use VLANs or subnets are good enough? How to deal with devices that need to communicate with all the others? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||
| Is mesh pointless if there is a wired backhaul? Posted: 30 Sep 2020 04:48 PM PDT Ok so I'm new to mesh setups. I currently have a router with two APs all connected by Ethernet. The router just died so I'm looking a newer solution. Of course, I've seen many offerings for mesh networks. To my understanding, mesh offers the ability to extend the network by repeating the signal (thus not requiring running Ethernet cable). However, I've seen some offerings use an Ethernet backhaul to improve performance. If the mesh setup is now connected with Ethernet, doesn't that make it no different than my router+AP setup? Is there any benefit to a mesh network at that point? Thank you in advance for any help! [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||
| Is My WiFi Access Point Setup Optimal? Posted: 30 Sep 2020 05:34 PM PDT I live in a duplex lower level where the wifi is on the top level and is super weak (I suspect the built in wifi access point is trash that ISP provided). I make do by having a long ethernet go downstairs for a direct connection to a couple devices via ethernet splitter. I've now done research and realized I might be able to use an extended or ap to get wifi downstairs again so that I can stop repeatedly setting up a hotspot via my laptop for my phone haha. So my setup would be an ethernet cable to that ethernet splitter which travels back to the router. I want to make sure that there won't be any issues with that splitter or connecting an ap directly to the router. I was initially going to do a direct connection to an extender, but I discovered that an ap is best when a direct connection is available. Does this all sound good? Edit: Every time I refer to an ethernet splitter, I mean an ethernet switch Edit 2: A wise redditer also let me know that if my AP includes extra ethernet ports, I can combine my AP and ethernet switch into same device if I wanted to. I will probably go with the following option since it appears to have great coverage strength (including 5GHz) as well as the ethernet ports option. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||
| Bufferbloat & packet loss me or ISP? Posted: 30 Sep 2020 03:58 PM PDT I'm a technical PM, but I'm still very much a networking novice. I changed all cables, factory reset my router, changed power cable and still was dropping packets. ISP confirmed there would be upgrades in my area on 9/24 and I was instructed to call back if the issue persisted. It did and I did. Modem swap with no improvement. My ISP came out and replaced some cables and measured no packet loss over 15k packets directly into the modem, but said he did see dropped pings behind my router. On Saturday 9/26 I installed OpenWRT over the top of my stock firmware and configured ping tests to google and was able to verify that I was getting dropped packets. At this point I'm considering router failure, but I can't find any examples of routers failing this way. I can continuously ping the router with no connection loss, heat never passes 70c, failure doesn't correspond to any router usage spikes. Starting around Sunday 9/27 the connection largely cleared up. I'm not experiencing any more browser disconnects and streaming video works fine. However, MSFT Teams (VOIP) is still experiencing significant lag and disconnects. When running a continuous ping to 8.8.8.8 from both the device it's running on (work laptop on 5GHZ) and my personal desktop on 1GHZ lan both connecting experience a temporary timeout that directly corresponds with the audio dropping. I read up on bufferbloat and DSLreports shows me a bufferbloat that goes all the way up to 3000ms. What gives? There are only 7 devices on my network and none are new. I've read that bufferbloat can be caused at the ISP level in add8ition to a locally congested network. During the day we're not doing anything intensive just web browsing and music streaming from 3 pcs and two phones. While I can't confirm I didn't have bufferbloat before, I never had the VOIP dropouts before. More interestingly, I configured SQM and with Cake running on eth1.2(WAN,WAN6) it brings my peak bufferbloat down to 6ms but halves my download speed from the configured 430,000 kbit/s. fq_codel brings my speed up to 406mbit at the expense of bufferbloat around 10ms with some spike much higher, but overall much lower than without. Putting aside the fine tunings of the SQM, why might my system be benefitting from QOS settings all of a sudden? Is it old age catching up to my router, is QOS masking something on my ISP side, or could one of my devices be going rogue and locking down the network? I have tried isolating everything and can't find a specific device causing issues, but I'm far from an expert. Sorry for the wall of text, but hopefully the context is useful.

| Posted: 30 Sep 2020 07:25 PM PDT Was running off a Netgate RCC-DFF-2220 (Intel Silvermont, 2c @ 1.7ghz). Was starting to choke under some use cases I have... Took a bit of a risk (compatibility wise) and bought a Seeed Studio Odyssey for my next router. Got it booted up tonight, and the M.2 to mPCIe adapter with extra 5V power is juicing the WiFi radio like I'd hope! 4 cores of Goldmont Plus @ 2.5ghz, 2x1gbps Intel NICs. Did a couple performance tests and the load average is peanuts compared to the aging Silvermont SoC. For now, just using an older WiFi5 wave 1 radio. Have a WiFi 6 (QCN9074) radio en route, hoping to have a functional WiFi6 SDN router sometime soon! [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||

| Moving to a 3 floor townhouse - can you recommend set up? Posted: 30 Sep 2020 05:12 PM PDT Hi Folks, I am moving from a 1 bedroom to a 3 bedroom house that has an attic and a basement (3 total floors). I currently have xfinity select (600mbps) with the xfi gateway and my dl and ul speed have been horrendous. Unfortunately, I can't get away from xfinity - so I'm going to continue the service - two people, less than 10 devices, gaming, work from home, 4k streaming etc. Would we be able to get by with 300mbps? Can someone recommend a good router/modem combo to go along with this rather than rent that worthless hardware from xfinity? Also do you recommend a pod or two to extend the range into my office which would be in the attic or is the combo enough? What would a great set up be? My budget is probably in the $200-300 range.

| In Law Apartment Signal Solution Posted: 30 Sep 2020 04:58 PM PDT Hi guys, My husband and I rent an in-law apartment above a garage attached to the main house by a breezeway. Cable and internet access is provided to us by the landlord and included in our rent. The signal has always been terrible, as the main house is over 100 years old. The router and modem are located in the main house, and we do not have access to them. We originally purchased a Netgear range extender and it was working fine for awhile. Sometimes spotty, but good enough for daily usage. The extender created two new networks (2G and 5G) that we were able to connect to with the same password as the original network. Recently the networks have shown up on all our devices, but all of our devices are unable to connect to it. We get error messages or "unable to connect". We have tried resetting the Extender, tried plugging it in and out, tried connecting to other networks and then going back, etc. to no avail. Once we were able to have our landlord's daughter reset the router at the same time as we reset the extender, which worked for a day or two and then back to the same issue. Our landlords work full time and have children in remote learning who need to use the WiFi network daily. We would like to not involve them in resolving this issue as we try not to be a burden of any kind, and do not want them to try and mess with the original network on our behalf, as we know it is vital to their children's schooling. This means that we do not have access to the router or modem itself, only our extender. If anyone knows how we could fix this or has any advice for us, please help! ** if there would be a way to instal our own modem or router and have our own WiFi network (we would not mind paying for it) without involving our landlords about it, we would be interested in that as well** [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||
| Posted: 30 Sep 2020 04:52 PM PDT I just purchased a new townhouse and getting ready to move in. The rear side of the home in my bedroom is where the Comcast cable wall outlet is, but on the exact opposite side is where my office is, and where I'll need ethernet available. I'll need to wire something up to the attic and back down on the other side, and no additional exterior holes can be drilled (have to deal with HOA and I don't want to get on the roof to DIY exterior stuff anyways as this is on the second floor). I'm thinking I can either: 1. Plug a coaxial cable from the wall outlet and wire that up and through, coming out to the office and plugging into my cable modem 2. Plug the cable modem into the outlet, and run an ethernet cable up and through from there, plugging into the router in my office. I'm concerned with signal degradation with both options, as well as cost. What's the best option here? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||

| Posted: 30 Sep 2020 07:44 PM PDT This is a bizarre problem I haven't found a fix for yet Everything works with my router but my pc in particular has problems with it Every 1-3 minutes the WiFi goes from full bars, to just a single one to nothing in a couple seconds, then it recovers automatically within about 2 minutes. I know this isn't just my pc because when I tether it to my phone it works just fine I checked my win 10 policy, firewall and permissions no changes worked. Any idea what this could be? Anything is appreciated [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||
| Plex server interfering with online gaming? Posted: 30 Sep 2020 07:15 PM PDT Hey everyone, I recently set up a plex server on an old laptop and attached it to an old router i have which is running dd-wrt and acting as a network switch. On that same switch i have my PS3 and my PS4. Today i noticed that while playing my PS4 with a friend the connection kept dropping (i was being dropped out of the gaming party). So i unplugged the laptop running the plex server and then the game ran fine with no hiccups. I assume this might be a problem of data collision but I'm not really sure since I'm still pretty new to networking. Any ideas on how i can prevent this from happening in the future without having to unplug the plex server every time i want to play games online? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||
| My iPhone cannot connect to wifi when my security camera is connected to the network. Posted: 30 Sep 2020 06:52 PM PDT Hi guys! I just purchased a HeimVision camera from amazon and when i had the camera plugged in via ethernet to my router it would stop transmitting wifi. My computer can still access the nternet via ethernet but my iPhone and iPad instantly get disconnected from the wireless network. As soon as i turn off the camera the wifi works. If i connect the camera to wifi it conncts to the internet fine but nothing else gets wifi. I only have a PC and a raspberry pi connected to the router. Thanks in advance for all the help!

| Working from home permantently. Time to get my home networking sorted. Posted: 30 Sep 2020 06:00 AM PDT Hi guys, I am planning on upgrading our home wifi setup. We are currently just using the router provided by our ISP. The general connection is fine. We get occasional speed drops and hiccups but the main problem is I cannot SSH using this router and my VPN some days refuses to connect. Testing with other borrowed routers I've not had any problems. I am a backend developer and have transitioned to permanently working from home so I felt it was time to invest in a decent home setup. I will soon be adding some security cameras and storing the footage locally, a few (local based) smart home products and maybe a NAS for data backups. I am not afraid of a bit of setup work and learning if it means a better quality system. I am comfortable with command lines and know enough Linux to get by. Day to day usage

| Seeking hardware recommendations for a novice who wants to tinker and learn Posted: 30 Sep 2020 01:32 PM PDT Current Situation: I live in a dense urban area with lots of other wifi networks and I'm in a very old building that used wire mesh in the construction so wifi signal does not travel that well but I'm renting and also cannot run cable or ethernet (cable only comes into one room in my apartment). I provide internet for myself and my neighbors above me. I have comcast/xfinity service and get about ~100mbps down and 10mbps up. Current hardware is an XB3 cisco version DPC3941T modem/router combo, from the first ethernet port on the back of this unit there is an ethernet cord that runs to a ubiquiti switching mode power supply model:GP-A240-050 which then runs upstairs to another wireless router. I want to replace my xfinity gateway with something that has at least as good range while still being able to allow my upstairs neighbor to connect. There's about 20 devices in total connected. I do not have any networking experience but I have plenty of time and love to research/tinker so I'm cool with more advanced solutions if they fit into my overall budget ~$300. General thoughts on modem/router budget split: I may decide to get a faster 1gig connection in 1-2 yrs and wifi 6 may be a must have by then so I'm thinking I would like to future proof on the modem but go for a cheaper router/wireless AP for now as the wifi 6 stuff looks pretty pricey and has mixed reviews. If I spend $160 on the DOCSIS 3.1 modem (mb8600) that leaves me about $140 for a wifi router or router and separate AP. If I'm being dumb with my DOCSIS 3.1 future proofing plan and should instead spend more on a router and less on a modem please let me know. What would be the best of these router/AP solutions below or any others you may have? I need something that I can get up and running stable enough in a day or two so everyone has fast internet but I'm drawn towards to slightly more complex options because I really want to tinker and learn networking. 1-2 days of downtime while I learn the basics is acceptable as there is another isp connection with wireless next door that we share with, so folks wont mind if ours happens to be down short-term, especially since I pay for all of ours. Possible solutions: 1) Router: Ubiquiti Edge Router X ($59) AP: Ubiquiti Unifi AP-AC Lite ($76) - I cannot mount the AP to the ceiling (because I'm renting) but I can set it on top of a tall bookshelf that goes almost to the roof. 2) I find the ability to learn pfsense and tinker with its capabilities really intriguing and I would like to do so but I have no idea what combination of compatible equipment I would need or if it is possible to get all the needed equipment for this at the ~$140 budget range. If it is possible at this range, I welcome any and all recommendations for easily attainable equipment. 3) Router: Asus RT-AC68U ($137) - flash with merlin or other firmware? 4) Router: Asus RT-AC66U ($93) - flash with merlin or other firmware? 5) Router: TP-Link Archer A7 ($62) - flash with other firmware?
