| Should I change my ISP's modem/router SSID and password to match my Access Points? Posted: 03 Jan 2021 10:37 AM PST All my Ubiquity AP's have the same SSID and password. In order to give even more seamless range I was just wondering if I should also do the same for the Modem/Router which my ISP gave me? Or should I keep that separate as the quality won't be the same as the Ubiquity AP's? [link] [comments]  |
| I failed at isolating my guest router from my home network :( Posted: 03 Jan 2021 06:12 PM PST My set up is too complicated for me I guess. I thought settings up a guest router isolated from my home network would be easy. But it simply doesn't work no matter what I do. By "isolated" I mean that they won't be able to see device on my network (e.g. Chromecasts) Here is a diagram of my set up: Extra info: I will try to give any info I can think of since I don't know whether any of it is significant Main Router: * Model: Home Hub 3000 * IP: 192.168.0.1 * Fiber internet provided by Bell (Canada) * Wifi turned off 2nd Router: * Model: NightHawk X10 * IP: 192.168.0.100 (static IP assigned in Main Router) * Used as my main WiFi Guest Router: * Model: Amped Wireless AC1900 * IP: 192.168.0.101 (static IP assigned in Main Router) * *Only the Guest Wifi *network on 5ghz is broadcasting * IP range for the devices connected to this router are 192.168.80.XX https://i.imgur.com/tqdSa0R.png If I connect to the guest network wifi, I can still access all the device on the main network! How do I solve this problem? [link] [comments]  |
| Any honest (not sponsored) youtube reviews or comparisons of best Wifi 6 routers.. Posted: 03 Jan 2021 05:03 PM PST So I'm looking to upgrade to a WIFI 6 router to replace my older N router, but when I wnet on to youtube for reviews, its pretty clear most are sponsored (talking abotu tp-link and honor 3 reviews being the biggest culprit) , and guess what all the reviews praise the sponsored routers.. Does anyone have a good source for un-biased reviews videos or better yet can you recommend a good modern router (not mesh) [link] [comments]  |
| Effects of CCA patch cables on a 1gb/s home network? Posted: 03 Jan 2021 09:19 AM PST I'm finishing up the patchboxes and wall outlets in my house, and I was looking for decent patch cables. I noticed most patch cables are unshielded or shielded CCA, copper clad aluminium. I've wired my house with solid copper F/UTP Cat5e cable and I was hoping to get the advertized 1gb/s. Has anyone experience with using CCA patch cables, either shielded or not in a 1gb/s network? Does it actually work at all? [link] [comments]  |

| Open NAT... am I really gonna have to buy my own modem and router? Posted: 03 Jan 2021 01:10 PM PST So to preface, I have gigabit cable internet and rent the company's modem/router combo. It's an Arris Surfboard TG3452. On PC with a wired connection. I'm trying to get my NAT open for COD. I've tried port forwarding on the modem settings, and windows firewall and that didn't work. The only thing I think I have left to try is the DMZ thing and the cable company locks the advanced modem settings, so I can't change the setting. I've already spoken with tech support and they told me I'd have to buy my own equipment to access advanced settings. So that brings me here. I want to make sure I'm not missing anything and that I did the port forwarding correctly before I go spending a bunch of money on new equipment. For the port forwarding, I looked up the ports required for COD and added both the TCP and UDP ports and port ranges in the modem settings. Then I did the same thing in Windows Defender. It didn't work. My NAT type is still moderate. Anybody know any way to get open NAT type when you can't access advanced modem settings? [link] [comments]  |
| Wiring home advice before I buy. Posted: 03 Jan 2021 04:44 PM PST Hello r/HomeNetworking! I've been lurking in this sub since I bought a home this past June. I've wanted to have a home network for years due to having to run long Ethernet cables in rentals to manage slow WiFi connections. My house is a 3 bedroom, office, and an unfinished basement that I would like to finish to some extent in the future. I'm seeking advice on the products I would be purchasing before I hit the buy button. My current internet speed is 400/10 but I plan on moving to another ISP that can provide 1000 down for about the same cost. Current Setup: ASUS AC2600 modem/router in the office for wired connection for 2 work computers. New Setup: A rack mount (6U) in the basement (already have) Patch panel: 24 ports TRENDnet TC-P24C6AS Switch: unmanaged, gigabit, 24 ports TRENDnet TEG-S24g Router: Undecided if I am going to buy a new router or not. If I get a new router I would also get a separate modem. Modem: Arris SB8200 (if needed) Cable: Cat6A Proposed layout of ports: Living room 2 Bedrooms 2 each (6 total) Office 4 Basement 2-4 depending on layout and features Questions: Would it be wiser to go with a 16 port switch and when I expand my network i would then add another switch? My router is only 1 1/2 years old, would it be sufficient for this setup? I may buy APs to expand the WiFi network or a mesh system to replace the whole router/WiFi setup. Am I missing anything of note? I feel like I've haven't mentioned or thought of something important. [link] [comments]  |
| ELI5: Static IP assigned by ISP versus static IP configured at the device level Posted: 03 Jan 2021 06:31 PM PST Someone probably laughed at the title and if you did I hope you can explain this to me lol. I just got my first NAS up and running and I set my own IP address up manually directly on the device as I've read it's more stable than keeping it as the default DHCP. When I tried to learn more about this, I read that you usually have to get the ISP to confirm static IP addresses, have to pay extra, sometimes aren't even qualified unless you're a business, etc. And now I'm lost, because I definitely didn't ask for permission or pay for anything extra from my ISP, but I'm able to connect to my server just fine using my manually configured IP. Can someone break this down for me please? Edit: Thank you all, this cleared everything up for me. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Jan 2021 02:39 PM PST Hello, I recently moved in with my in-laws in the basement. They're not keen on me running an ethernet down, so my friend recommends I get a router to use as an Access Point. However, I'm a bit hazy on how this works. Is it possible to buy a router, such as the "ASUS RT-ACRH13 AC1300", have it wirelessly connect to their modem upstairs, to which then I can plug an ethernet cable into the Asus router (Now that it's an access point?) into my PC and get a connection? Will this show as a LAN (Or not wifi connection)? I work from home, and my work says no wi-fi cards. Unfortunately, I need to set this up tonight for work tomorrow, and the above ASUS was an example. But for the same process, would either of these work? Walmart has them: NETGEAR AC1000 (R6080-100NAS) NETGEAR AC1750 (R6350-100NAS) NETGEAR Nighthawk AX3000 (RAX35-100NAS) They have some Linksys too. I tried googling, but couldn't find much if they connect to the upstairs modem wirelessly, act as an AP, or need a cable. All help diagrams were a bit confusing. [link] [comments]  |
| Coax/cable to a wireless router Posted: 03 Jan 2021 02:03 PM PST Hey people, new internet service coming in. Just received the modem, and it's coming off a Rogers(Ontario) cable (coax). It's a technicolor modem from the ISP. Comes with the coax jack, and Ethernet ports for direct hardwire to device, but I want to have it to a wireless router (with a few ports as well) Just trying to figure out my options. Looking at the TP-link AC1200 cause that's the Amazon recommended. Anything reason I shouldn't get this? I'd like to have have a combo modem/router/wireless. Are there any such thing with a coax hook up out there that won't break the bank? Or should I just stick with the ISP provided modem and hook up. The router. I'm new to networking, but I'm fairly savvy with an electrical background, but technicals and terminology will probably go over my head a little. Thanks [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 03 Jan 2021 08:05 PM PST My router is currently in a lower level storage room because that's where the modem has to be and house's ethernet also runs to that room. I'd like to get the router out of there (bad coverage) but I'll need a router in its place. I've been looking at wired routers like the MikroTik hEX, but I realized that there are some mass-market wireless routers for half the price. I'm not going to be in this house for much longer, so why shouldn't I get something like a TP-Link AC1200 and save myself 30 bucks? [link] [comments]  |
| Need additional ethernet ports Posted: 03 Jan 2021 08:05 PM PST My ISP's router is top notch, in my opinion. But, I've just grown to too many hard weird devices than the router can support. What can I get (additional router of hub) so that my devices will all work but still be on the same gateway? I want that router to still recognize them all being on my network instead of being on their own small sub-network. [link] [comments]  |
| Connection Fine for normal browsing but extreme packet loss on StreamLabs OBS & Valorant Posted: 03 Jan 2021 07:56 PM PST I've done just about everything I can to try to sort this out and my final conclusion is that its a coaxial cable before my modem that goes to the street pole or something? Check out this GIF with test results from the Intel Adapter Utility. If its accurate it means my assumptions would be correct and I just need to get a technician out here to check the lines? I'm not great at this type of thing so any tips are appreciated! https://gyazo.com/cd908f1f638681ce7bb6a22e87e92fa9 - GIF of Test Results. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Will a new Docsis 3.1 Modem Help me out in this Case? modem will not connect to any new routers. Posted: 03 Jan 2021 01:50 PM PST Hi this new router, Linksys AX1800, will not connect directly to my Cox cable modem anymore. (Out from modem to internet port on router). It worked great for 2 days but then it just stopped overnight sometime. I rebooted and factory reset both the modem and router many times and tried with different cables. I called my ISP Cox and they said it is not a modem hardware problem and they are showing strong signals on their end. I can direct connect the modem into a pc and it works. I am on it now by connecting through an old Linksys E1500 LAN port that connected immediately with no problem. I tried to clone MAC address in router settings and still nothing. I was able to try on 3 other working routers and none of them could get online after modem reboots and factory resets before each install. It's like the modem will only work on this old router now. What could be causing this not being able to direct connect modem to router? Will buying a new modem fix the problem maybe? [link] [comments]  |
| Looking to extend wifi in basement Posted: 03 Jan 2021 07:46 PM PST Hello all!!! I recently moved into a new house and the wifi in the basement is pretty weak. Its good upstairs. I ran a ethernet cord down to a cheap switch I got from microcenter so I could plug my pc and my ps4 in. So thats fine My question is... Is there something I can plug into the switch that will give off a better wifi signal? Its kind of the main entertainment area so I want good wifi for people I was thinking I could add another router in the basement using the ethernet cord I ran down but will I be able to plug my pc and ps4 into that or will I have to connect to wifi? Sorry for the dumb question Thanks in advance [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Jan 2021 12:10 PM PST i'm looking into access points. For my SOHO i'm currently reusing a Nighthawk R7800 as an Acess Point hooked directly into my switch serves most of my home and particularly for wireless transfers to my phone and laptop. I have a couple of devices that are noiw wifi 6 capable and wonder if it would be benificial to upgrade i'm looking at the u6-Lite by ubiquiti. Looks like it would suit my needs. My question is would wifi 6 be a good usecase for my senario as i'm already coming from a beast AP/Router My main clients are 3x3 AC and 2x2 AX [link] [comments]  |
| Cannot figure out how to WiFi my 6,000 square foot house Posted: 03 Jan 2021 07:41 PM PST I thought putting Google Wifi pucks in every room but that doesn't seem to help. At this point I can't run ethernet throughout my whole house. Can someone tell me what to do? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Jan 2021 07:41 PM PST I everyone, excuse my english. I want buy a router for my home. I only want: 1) More range of wifi in my home. 2) WiFi 6 standar and 3) Posibility to make a mesh net with routers (optional). Hugs [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 03 Jan 2021 07:32 PM PST I am looking for a free/open source internal server monitoring/heartbeat tool (ping, etc.) to monitor IoT and other systems, locally installed, Windows-based. Ideally, I would like to tool to send email and/or push status. For email, I rather use OAuth than entering SMTP/password data. For push, it would be great if it supported a tool like Pushover. I came upon PRTG Network Monitor, but it requires SMTP credentials for email and its own app for push. I would appreciate some recommendations. Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| Help me decide on a sub-$200 router to restore some stability to my home Posted: 03 Jan 2021 10:44 AM PST After 6 years, I think I need to replace my TP-Link WR1043ND. The main problem I'm having is with reliability and range and I'm hoping a newer router can restore some stability to my home. Our house is 1900 sq ft and WiFi has to travel though 4-5 walls in some places (not always at a perpendicular angle). Our home has 3 users and around 12-15 devices. After looking at some lists of top/recommended routers, I'm considering the following. However, I am surprised at how old some of these recommended routers are. The ASUS ones came out in 2012 and 2013. Anyway, I was hoping someone could weigh in and let me know if they see any red flags for these. Thanks

| Posted: 03 Jan 2021 03:30 PM PST How do I know the MHz channel for my router? I have a NETGEAR Nighthawk AX5200 I just want to know the channel breakdown on my router like 20mhz 40 and 80mhz. [link] [comments]  |

| High Ping when someone is on Facetime. Posted: 03 Jan 2021 07:04 PM PST I noticed that my ping would jump to 200+ every time my sister uses facetime. This was never a problem in the past and we haven't done anything to our internet that would warrant such change. I play on ethernet and my sister facetimes on her phone through the house wifi.
