| Posted: 28 Sep 2020 07:42 AM PDT The question is as in the title; however - if you wanted to say, copy your Steam games over to a laptop when you've already downloaded them, and wanted to be able to do this regularly, what would work? OneDrive apparently got rid of the fetcher tool (they deleted it from OneDrive, it's not like it was in June 2020 and before), so that's out. I'm looking at a good FTP solution... I've thought about trying torrents over local network, but this comes without a browser. My games are these big 100g+ folders, and the size of my library would use up my internet cap four months in a row, so it's got to be local. I mean, any ideas? Eventually I'd like to host more than that, but it has to be on Windows because I use these things regularly. What works for you all? [link] [comments]  |
| Equipment for Spectrum Suggestions Posted: 28 Sep 2020 06:19 PM PDT I'm very close into moving into a 1 bedroom apartment around 700sqft. I've seen the TP-Link AC 1750 recommended around. However I don't see a consensus on Modem. I've been looking to spend around $200-300 if it's worth it for a modem and router. Also, I'm unsure what internet speed I need. The basic is 200mpbs vs 400 but I do game and work on a vpn. My work is pretty slow from downloading files and working Nitro there always a delay/load time. I'm not sure if that's from the lack of WiFi speed or just vpn speed to access things. For $20 more is 400mpbs worth it and would the tp-link be able to handle it? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Sep 2020 06:39 PM PDT I have a Vizio smart tv that only gets 8 to 11 mbps. Wired or wireless makes no deference. My laptop gets 200 mbps wired and 150 wireless. What could be causing this? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Sep 2020 07:05 PM PDT Edit: sorry for the typo in the title, I clearly meant router. Hello, I'm relatively new to networking so bear with me. I live in university family housing and we provide our own routers and wireless APs. There are ethernet ports all over the apartment, and you can plug in whatever you want then register your device's mac address on their website and the connection works within a few minutes. Only setting you can adjust is the DDNS hostname. I currently have a TP-link EAP 225 connected to an EdgeRouterX in my office. This setup works so much better than any combo wireless router I've had before, and I'm very happy with it. However, I have a few issues:
Thus, I'd like to achieve the following: 1. Connect the TV/other wired devices to wall ports and have them on the same subnet/network/{right technical term} as the rest of my devices 2. Put a wireless AP in the living room and have it also be on the same subnet. I basically want all my devices to be on the same "network" whether they're wired to my ERX, connected to WiFi via the TP-Link EAP 225, or wired/wireless to something else somewhere in the house. I obviously can't run a really long ethernet cable from my ERX to the TV or an AP in the living room. Is this possible within the current network topology? Can someone explain this to me a little more and point me to the right technical terms? I just have no idea what to even google since my understanding is so poor. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Sep 2020 08:41 PM PDT Good Evening. I am seeking recommendations for a home router where I can monitor real-time and block traffic. I have 2 teenage daughters who are currently learning from home whom do not seem to understand the importance of focusing on school and getting work done. I have been looking for a solution where I can monitor their data flows and web surfing in real time. My latest fail was Gryphon. On the surface I thought it was everything I was looking for but when it came to logging web traffic, it would only log youtube.com not youtube.com/?v=2345235 and it would only make one entry in the log regardless of how many times they hit the site. Thanks for any assistance!! [link] [comments]  |
| Reverse Proxy for Minecraft Server Posted: 28 Sep 2020 08:38 PM PDT I'm trying to host a Minecraft server from my home, but I want protection in case of a DDOS attack. I figured the cheapest way to go about this would to buy a VPS and proxy my Minecraft traffic through it. How would I set up the reverse proxy on the VPS? The whole point is that I want users to log in through the proxy and never see my home IP, enabling them to attack my home network. [link] [comments]  |
| Networking labs on ryzen 3950x Posted: 28 Sep 2020 04:26 AM PDT This post would help for those who are thinking to build ryzen pc for networking labs. Before buying ryzen i asked on many forums whether ryzen supports virtualisation. Now i think i made right decision. I practise daily and i understood many concepts and if stuck at some point this subreddit is always helpful for clearing the doubts. Please note this is a bare metal install (no vmware workstation/hypervisor) My PC configs Ryzen 3950x (16cores,32 thread) Gskill 32 GB (3200MHz) Asus Rog Strix 6gb Cabinet cooler master Cpu liquid cooling cooler master SSD WD 500GB m.2 nvme MB msi tomahawk ( but i had to install TP link NIC card externally, because ubuntu OS 16.04 server version was not able to recognize the integrated NiC on MB which was very newer) I booted six nexus 9k, six 7200 routers, four ASA(2 asa are in multiple context), two ASR, two palo alto, seven L2 switches, two big ip f5 ltm, and 5 linux machine , one windows machine. 88 percent of RAM was consumed to run these node at one time. Though CPU was only 50-60 percent utilized. [link] [comments]  |
| Had an idea about networking a ps4 external storage. Posted: 28 Sep 2020 07:19 AM PDT More of a high-dea if you will. But would it be possible to have a drive in a server (pc) that I can somehow store my ps4 downloaded games on and use that as an external drive on my ps4. I kind want to have my ps4 and Xbox one to be able to pull games from a central source instead of having an individual external drive for each system. I ask because I have 2 ps4, and 1 Xbox one. Is there anyway this can be done? Thank you in advance! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Sep 2020 06:05 PM PDT Just moved to the PNW from down South after a rapid relocation for work so I wasn't able to come tour every apartment. The biggest dilemma I am running into right now with the apartment that we've leased is that our ONT and router (NVG468MQ) that was provided by Verizon Fios (it's Ziply up here, but it is the same) is in our Master Bedroom closet (this is a 2x2 apartment). The plan is to have my desktop in the second bedroom and my s/o's desktop in the dining room or living room. Both of us are avid gamers; I compete in online shooting games (Valorant) and she plays league daily on top of streaming to Twitch so any network dropping or latency issues are very apparent to us. The options I have are running an ethernet cable throughout the entire apartment; i'd estimate about 50-100ft for my desktop and 50ft for hers, however, that leaves us with the eye sore of either having a loose wire and risk having one of our 60lb dogs pulling it up, or running a cable concealer over and through multiple doors. The other option is running a mesh network throughout the house and just wiring to those from our desktops; however, we have 1000/1000mbs and I'd hate to lose any performance. I've done a lot of research but have not gotten any solid alibis for which mesh network i should go with and wanted to come to y'all to see if you have any recommendations or at least opinions of what y'all would do. Networking is not my strong-suit and I'd appreciate any help. [link] [comments]  |
| Horribly unstable network, dropping upwards of 50 times per day Posted: 28 Sep 2020 05:56 PM PDT I don't know anything about networking and I'm pulling my hair out with a home wifi network that is dropping upwards of 50 times a day. What are some simple beginner steps I can take towards improving this situation? My ISP is Suddenlink and they do not give a damn, I'm not even considering discussing this with them anymore. Should I buy my own router from the consumer market to replace the stupid one they provided? Is there a simple way to reconfigure the network to something more stable? This happens whether I'm 3 feet from the router or 300. It drops anywhere from 3 minutes to 30 minutes at a time. It happens whether there is one person using it or three. It's been going on for over six months now and it's really starting to affect my productivity. [link] [comments]  |
| Port forwarding IPv6? Also, what the heck is my router's public IP? Posted: 28 Sep 2020 08:46 PM PDT I am very familiar with IPv4 and the concept of port forwarding. I recently moved into a new apartment and am working on getting all my old web services on my homelab functional again. Before, this was accomplished by finding my IPv4 address, and setting up port forwarding. Unfortunately, I no longer have an IPv4 address at my new apartment. Or rather, I have been assigned a private IPv4 address hiding behind their public-facing IPv4 that services all the apartments in my complex. My ISP is telling me that I have been given an IPv6 address dynamically and it is public facing. Here were my assumptions going in:So with IPv4, I would find out the public IP pointing to my router, then enable port forwarding on my router. Every time I accessed my network from outside I entered that IPv4 address followed by the port depending on which service I was accessing. Fairly simple, I imagined for IPv6, I'd look for my one public-facing IPv6 address, set up port forwarding to whatever IPv4 address I wanted locally, and I'm done! I could not have been more wrong. Here is what I've learned so far:Every device can receive a globally routable IPv6 address. When I run ipconfig on my PC, I recieve the following: So it appears to me I have 5 IPv6 addresses for this machine. One appears to be local (I assume that's the Link-Local, but the fact I censored it tells you how confident I am in that assumption), the rest I assume are globally routable. On the off chance that was just a weird case because of some things I've installed on my PC, I set up a fresh install of NOOBS on a Raspberry Pi just to run ifconfig. Here is what I recieved: Which appears to show two global IPv6 addresses and one link-local. This is more in line with what I assumed I'd find after some more research. One stable address, and one more dynamic(?) address but both are globally routable. Oh, and by the way, this is different than what I receive when I google my ipv6. Which is the only way I can access the web server setup on the Raspberry Pi. But the web server is only available locally. As soon as I leave the network I receive a "refused to connect" error. Which leads me to believe there is a firewall issue (possibly with the ISP, idk they won't tell me what they block and I haven't gotten around to sniffing yet). Summary of what (very little) I knowI believe that IPv6 is no longer assigned through DHCP, but rather by the host itself. Older devices determine their IPv6 based off their MAC address, and newer ones use a method not based on MAC but that still gives them a unique IPv6. Hardware Webserver: Raspberry Pi3b running Apache2 Router: Linksys E5350 Additional hardware available: Ubiquiti Edgerouter X (I was originally attempting to use this as my main router but the EdgeOS is too far above my head to troubleshoot this issue right now so I switched to just using the Linksys). Another Linksys E5350 (they were being used as WAPs before, hence why I have two) What I am trying to do:I'll keep the problem small for now. I am attempting to access an apache webserver hosted locally on my Raspberry Pi from the outside internet. I can already access the site with the IPv6 address recieved when I google from the pi "what is my IPv6" when I google from my PC I receive a different ipv6 and cannot access anything with that. EDIT: formatting tldr: Anyone got any IPv6 networking for absolute morons material for me to read? Or can you help me expose a web server to the internet like I used to with IPv4 port forwarding when I had a public IPv4? [link] [comments]  |
| Wired CAT 6 connection fixed at 100 MB down Posted: 28 Sep 2020 04:46 PM PDT I've been on a wireless netgear adapter for a very long time since my modem is a room away and I would like to avoid drilling holes. Every 30 minutes to an hour I seem to drop internet for 10-15 seconds and when i'm gaming those 10-15 are the most annoying things ever. My discord calls drop, I lag in game and on certain games get completely kicked from the game. Today I went to buy a CAT 6 cable to run from one room to the other, it worked and I was getting 400 MB download just fine. I hate the idea of a 50ft cable across my room so I decided to finally just move the modem into my room. At first, it wouldn't go online and I knew it had to do with the coax cable so I went to the junction box in my garage and switched the coaxes until one worked ( I left my TV's on to make sure I wasn't unscrewing the wrong ones ). None of them are labeled so I didn't know exactly which ones were being unplugged but as long as the TV's stayed on I figured it was alright ( few rooms in the house with a coax input that have no TV's). Everything seemed to work until I noticed I was only getting 100 MB download and according to Windows it was locked at that. I looked around and tried multiple solutions online but none worked. I have a MSI B450 Tomhawk max motherboard and my modem is an ARRIS DG2460A. There is a green light and an orange light that on the ethernet ports, the orange is for 10/100 download and green is for 1 gig. The green light never came on no matter what I tried, I checked the cable and my port on my PC and there are no bent connectors. I tried a CAT 5e cable to my PC and the same issue occurred. I decided to just move the router back to the room it was in along with reverting everything in the junction box. Now it's still locked at 100 MB on my PC and i've run out of things to search for online regarding the issue so I'm hoping someone can help me here so I don't have to call a guy to come out and charge me $100 to do nothing.

| Posted: 28 Sep 2020 10:38 AM PDT Hi all, I am/was on the verge of buying a mesh router kit, but the more I read about "mesh" the less I understand about how/why it'd be different from what I already have at home (or could have for less $$$) Context: I current have a Nighthawk R7000 which is listed as 802.11ac, notably not k/v. I've experimented with a small extra AP, the D-link DAP-1620, which uses ethernet for backhaul and lists it supports k/v. My attempts to put the D-link on the same SSID as the R7000 were not good. Devices hardly ever switched APs, even when getting terrible signal. Also important, I have ethernet in both locations where I want APs. I only learned about k/v today and am curious if that why I've had a bad time with my first attempts, since the R7000 doesn't have it. My question: is there anything special in the modern mesh products that helps switch between APs *aside from* k/v, or really anything else that wouldn't be in any 2 random k/v APs that I install? Since I have ethernet at both AP points, if what you're really paying for in a mesh system is the wireless backhaul, which I don't need, and 2 good APs would work as well.... ? For example, I already use an EdgeRouter as my main router, the R7000 is in AP mode. I'm very impressed with the EdgeRouter thus far, and would consider getting 2 Ubiquiti APs if that's "as good" as a (wired) mesh setup. Thanks for any tips [link] [comments]  |
| Modem Router Combo Internet Randomly Shutoff Posted: 28 Sep 2020 04:24 PM PDT Hello! For 3 weeks my Arris SBG7580-AC modem router combo has not been giving me internet since a storm outage. Xfinity said their was no problem on there end. I tried two different coaxial cables and troubleshooting. The WIFI signal works, but no internet and Xfinity cannot connect to my router. I have the event log, but I am not experienced with this stuff and don't want to accidently give out my IP or something hackable lol. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions or guesses as to the problem. Bought the router off Ebay worked until the outage. Wondering if the router is broken or if you think it could be the apartment internet being messed up. Any suggestions would be appreciated thanks! Arris responded to one email then ghosted me. The event log alternates Lost MDD timeout RCS Partial Service then SYNC Timing Synchronization failure - loss of sync ends with Received Response to Broadcast Maintenance Request, But no Unicast Maintenance opportunities received - T4 time out [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Sep 2020 08:08 PM PDT We are wrapping up a house renovation where we did a few home runs of monoprice Cat 6 to our laundry room while the walls and ceiling were open. I still have a ton left over. The next step is the (detached) garage - I am already going to have to trench for power, is it ok to drop that same Cat 6 cable in the same trench?
I am going to run that cable to a POE switch for a single AP and two or three 4k turret cameras using H.265 compression, so I don't need gigabit speeds, but I would like for it to be usable and am concerned about interference. [link] [comments]  |

| Network speeds much slower after MoCa filter/Splitter install Posted: 28 Sep 2020 04:15 PM PDT Recently installed goCoax MoCa adapters in my home and installed this splitter and this filter (only one obviously). When hard wired to the modem I'm only getting 20% of usual speeds. I've been noticing it especially when streaming and gaming. Everything seemed to be working the first night, then slowed down the next morning. Background: I have Xfinity and one modem/router combo, as well as an access point (which the MoCa connects to).

| Gaming router suggestions for house with over 25 connected devices. Posted: 28 Sep 2020 04:15 PM PDT The above question pretty much says it all. I live at home with my 2 brothers and parents and the lag i experience trying to use my Xbox one is crazy. I tried running a hard connection to the router and it hasn't really fixed the problem for me. I get great download speeds but still lag while playing multiple games. Any suggestions on how I can go about fixing this problem? Would a new router even fix this? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Sep 2020 07:49 PM PDT So I purchased a RT-AX88U a couple of weeks ago to replace my aging Nighthawk X6. I thought I got a pretty good deal on it from Best Buy, I have two days left on the return window. My plan was to use the RT-AX88U as my main router and then AiMesh. I purchased two second hand RT-AC3100, each from different sources. One appears to work pretty well. The other goes offline a lot and seems inferior to the other. The bad will also kill my connection with the good one once it is online. Now I also purchased a used set of Lyra MAP-AC2200. I got everything AiMeshed. But then my issue continues. It seems everything goes offline and then online. Even if I just use the Lyras, they fluctuate. So at this point I am only using just the good AC3100. Is there some limitation of nodes? Do I have a bad RT-AX88U? [link] [comments]  |
| New gigabit connection, strange speed issues. Posted: 28 Sep 2020 07:30 PM PDT Hopefully this is the right sub, trying to troubleshoot some speed issues. I have two laptops that are getting different speeds both when wired directly to the modem, and when connected to WiFi. Modem is Netgear CM1100 router is Netgear nighthawk xr500. I've disabled QoS on the router, also tried setting each laptop individually to 100% priority. ASUS GL702VM Wired: 940Mbps(Yay!) Wifi: 470Mbps Acer Aspire 5 Wired: 490Mbps(Why?) Wifi: 400Mbps Both have Gb capable ethernet ports and 802.11ac wifi. They both show as connected at 1000/1000 when wired and 866/866 on 5ghz over wifi. I realize there are at least two issues here, I appreciate any and all help. Edit: Using same cable and browser in both instances [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 28 Sep 2020 07:23 PM PDT Hey guys, so me and my family live out in the sticks and after calling a local ISP frequently for about a year they decided to finally run fiber to our very spread out neighborhood. They've had contractors working for the last couple of months and they allowed us to finally schedule a home installation for next week. The best they will offer is 300/30 so that's what we'll be going with. I'm looking for a router that can decently cover 2400 sqft home. I'm fine with mesh systems or anything like that. My brother and I play games frequently and I have a lot of video chats for college that I must attend. It's been difficult thus far this semester because we get 5 down with dsl. We have maybe 10 devices at most but my parents want to install cameras outside as well. 300 is the most i'd like to spend or any alternatives are welcome. Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| Two private LANs on one internet connection Posted: 28 Sep 2020 07:17 PM PDT I'm moving into a new house soon and I'm planning to rent the lower floor. I'm also planning to wire the house with an Ethernet network for my own use. I'll be putting cat6 ports on both floors since I probably won't rent the lower floor forever. The issue is I'd like to make sure my renters can choose to have internet access, but the ISPs in my area (Spectrum and Century Link) won't install a second service line. I could let the renters connect to my Ethernet network to get internet, but I don't want them to be able to access my NAS, PCs, and other devices I have connected. So, my question is: what is the best way for me to set up two private LANs that share a single internet connection? I don't want the LANs to be able to see each other at all. Some other concerns/thoughts: -I have found a few tutorials that show how to do this using 3 routers. This may be the best option, but if people have other/simpler suggestions I'd be interested to learn about them. -One of my concerns with the 3 router setup is that the chain of devices (PC>router>router>modem) will create a lot of latency over the internet connection. I work remotely a lot (more so in the age of COVID!) and I'm often manipulating 3D models, point clouds, etc. and it's really difficult to do this with a laggy connection (don't need a ton of bandwidth, but the lag can be maddening!). Any advice on this topic is much appreciated! Also, apologies if there's already a post about this. If so, please feel free to direct me there. [link] [comments]  |

| UDM is terrible, trying to find an alternative. Posted: 28 Sep 2020 05:15 AM PDT I've had a UDM (non pro) for about 4 months and this morning I woke up to the 5ghz network not existing (this is the 10th time at least this has happened) and I restarted the device and it came back. I've run the beta firmware, I've rebooted it, I've turned off wifi optimization, everything, but this bug keeps on happening. Not to mention my hardline networking sometimes goes down when I'm playing games for a split second and I lag out. Anyway, for $300 I'm so frustrated with this experience. It's sold as a producer premium product but it's honestly terrible and I wish there was a way I could get rid of mine without selling it on ebay. /Rant Anyway I'm trying to find a new router, I really just need a way to port forward and I'd love wifi 6. I have a bunch of iot devices that I like to keep on another network but if I can't do that it's honestly fine. Anyone got any suggestions about normal routers that aren't running the most garbage software in the world. [link] [comments]  |
