| Is 50 mbps FTTH faster than 100 mbps FTTN Posted: 27 Apr 2021 04:56 PM PDT I currently moving to a new house. There are two internet providers, one of them is offering me 50 mbps FTTH and the other 100 mbps for 100 mbps FTTN for about the same price. I would like to know which one is better? And if anyone has any experience using both. This is a relatively new neighbourhood that is still growing up fast. [link] [comments]  |
| Cable provider refuses to make the 1000ft run to my house. What options to I have to run it myself? Posted: 27 Apr 2021 05:02 PM PDT My local ISP refuses to run cable to my house, they are the only option we have besides satellite or hotspots. We stream a ton and I used to game fairly heavily until we moved here and can't get any internet. The ISP has cable at one of my family's rental houses somewhere between 700-1000ft depending on how I ran the cable. I'm willing to buy and bury my own cable to get it to my house, even if I have to technically have my account at the rental house. What options to I have to span that distance? My understanding is cat6 is only good for 300ft, what about RG6? I would like at least 100mbps potential since that's the most available in my area anyway. They're supposed to be running fiber but the people I've talked to have told me that it's years down the road so I'm desperate here haha. [link] [comments]  |
| Can a network worm spread inside a home networking? Posted: 27 Apr 2021 03:00 AM PDT I've seen a lot of IT tales where a worm propagates itself by emailing itself in a company's network. Was the worm able to do this because in a company, people's emails are saved on everyone's computer so that they can communicate with each other, so the worm just took advantage of it? Is there such a thing as a worm scanning a LAN network for email, or scanning ports that are for emails and then send email through those ports, and somehow it will arrive on an email client(like Gmail app)? And my last question is, are there any other ways a virus can spread in a home network? I don't have any share file folder turned on in my LAN network so that should help. I'm asking this because I want to understand and improve my home's LAN network. [link] [comments]  |
| Point to point connection between houses! Posted: 27 Apr 2021 06:34 PM PDT Hello! I have a question. I'm planning to connect two houses that are like 200 meters apart with two point to point antennas so that I can share mi internet connection between them. There are two trees in the way. Will there be any serious latency or connection issues? Will I be better off just getting service in both houses? Help! :) Maybe using two ubiquity m5s. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Apr 2021 03:44 PM PDT Hi. I got a new smart fridge and I am not able to connect it to the internet because I get an error that says I have to open ports 443, 8080 and 123. I went on my router settings and edited the settings as you see in the screenshot. However, I am still getting the same error. Any help is very appreciated. I covered the IP address of the fridge.

| Trouble with activating ethernet ports in new house Posted: 27 Apr 2021 05:13 PM PDT This could be a completely stupid question but I would love some insight. I just moved into my first house. I have set up my workstation in the basement where there is an ethernet port that is labelled cat5e. The modem is plugged into a coaxial port in the living room on the main floor. It is also plugged into another cat5e port in the living room. In the garage, there is a netgear switcher which is has a spaghetti mess of labelled ethernet cables plugged into it. I found that both the living room and the basement ports are plugged into the switcher. Now onto the issue. I have gigabit internet. But, when the PC is plugged into the basement port I don't even get 100 down. On wifi, I get about 400 (I'm assuming it is low due to the distance and floor that is between my PC and the modem). Where would the issue lie? Would it be that the caballing in the house does not support the speeds that I'm paying for? Would I need to find a way to adapt the coaxial ports to ethernet and run that to the switcher? I'm not sure what direction to go so any help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time!

| Posted: 27 Apr 2021 04:46 PM PDT In Oakville, Ont & have been with Teksavvy going on 4 yrs. Their customer service was good but I've noticed it declining the last few times we have had to call for internet issues. Our most recent issue was with our internet being out & they said a tech would be around. Took the 1/2 day off to accommodate being there when the tech arrived…no show. I called Teksavvy later on the day after the specified time & was told they cancelled the appt and forgot to call me. Their resolution? They will give me $20 off the purchase of a new modem. I've been exploring Start.ca - anyone know how they compare to Teksavvy? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Apr 2021 08:05 PM PDT I have been trying to set up a FTP server on my home server, and I can't for the live of me connect to it. I keep getting stuff like connection refused. I am running Ubuntu 18.04, turned off firewall(for testing), and port forwarded. But it's still not working. Any ideas? [link] [comments]  |
| Gigabit works perfect over Ethernet, unchanged over WiFi. Posted: 27 Apr 2021 12:25 PM PDT Just recently upgraded from a 300mbps plan to 1 gigabit gigablast though cox. I have a panoramic gateway wifi/router from cox. and a NETGEAR Nighthawk Smart Wi-Fi Router (R7000) - AC1900 Through Ethernet plugged directly into the 2nd port on the panoramic gateway the speed tests shows anywhere from 900 - 1000 Mbps so that is working great. But on either the panoramic gateway WiFi or the netgear router WiFi it tops out at around 300 - 400 Mbps, these were the speeds I was getting before upgrading to gigabit internet speeds over WiFi and Ethernet. Is this normal? Or what can I do to try to increase the WiFi Speeds? I am using the 5Ghz, I checked the settings for both the gateway and router and everything seems to be correct like QoS is off etc. I already have my main connections plugged directly via Ethernet and 300-400 Mbps is what I was getting before the upgrade and is not necessarily slow by any means so it's not the biggest ordeal but hey if there is any advice on how and if I could get getting better WiFi speeds please do share. One last thing, is it really worthwhile to upgrade my router? I already am getting a ARRIS SURFboard SB8200 modem as to not have to pay the monthly rental fee for the ISPs gateway, but the netgear router should support WiFi speeds up to 1900 Mbps so I don't see why an upgrade would be necessary. Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| Ethernet: Can't Play Most Online Games Without Using VPN, Or I Get Consistent Disconnects Posted: 27 Apr 2021 03:31 PM PDT This one has really got me. I regularly play 7 online games, I have very little issue in 2 of them (just occasional ping spikes), however 5 of them I'm consistently disconnecting. My ISP, Charter, says nothing is wrong, everything's working flawlessly. I'll turn on my VPN and have 0 issues at all. Some games don't allow VPN's, though, so I can't play those games. I'm not sure what to do. I tried changing my IPV protocols between 4 and 6, and changed the numbers. My PC came with Killer Control software which I heard can cause this, however I uninstalled that program from my PC and it's still a thing. I've tried basic stuff like restarting my router. I've only tested it on this one PC though, should I try a different pc on the same network? I don't really have one available but I could get one.. [link] [comments]  |
| ISP forcing me to use the router they provided Posted: 27 Apr 2021 03:26 PM PDT Hello in my country all the ISPs are doing the same thing, I saw in a local forum that they lock them using MAC address ( didn't see any professional talk about this so i am not sure ) I can't use bridge mode because I want to setup parental control for the kids Can cloning MAC address work so I just buy a router that supports this feature ? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Apr 2021 07:08 PM PDT And the reason I'm being forced to get a 5 GHz router is because I have a LOT of 2.4 GHz WiFi in my neighborhood and they keep distrusting the signals, due to overlapping of channels. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Apr 2021 06:50 PM PDT https://imgur.com/gallery/PHvX6DO Before I pull my hair out and require everything - can anyone tell me why my router is showing as a wireless device and not wired? I have a NETGEAR CM1000v2 modem with a CAT6 cable plugged into the LAN attached to the WAN port of a NETGEAR R6400v2 / AC 1750 router. I have a CAT6 cable plugged into port 1 of the router to a NETGEAR GS108 switch which gives Ethernet to all other devices. For the life of me I cannot figure out why it is showing as wireless.

| Ubiquity - Dream Machine Pro, a few questions. Posted: 27 Apr 2021 03:03 PM PDT So first of all, what's with Ubiquity and their 17000 different AP devices? I need one for a small-office/house (single story) setup. Any guidance as to which AP I should get would be nice. On average there will probably be anywhere between 10 and 20 devices connected to the network, mostly phones, laptops, etc. Not so much IoT devices, although that would probably change in the next 2 - 5 years. My second question is about the security camera's you can use with it. Does it play nice with any brand security camera, or do you specifically need Ubiquity ones? Lastly, the hard drive. As far as I can tell, this is mainly for use with the security cameras. What size drive am I looking for here? General guidance would be nice, I mean I don't want to stick a 8TB drive in there if a 500GB will do. Also, does drive speed matter at all? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Fiber Optic Slow Speeds in Adjacent Room to Router Posted: 27 Apr 2021 02:36 PM PDT I live in a high-rise where the building has a contract with a local cable company. Most units are using this fiber optic which the cable company says can be speeds of up to 1G. The speed is great when plugged in direct but slow on wifi. It is especially slow in rooms adjacent to where my router is. The 5G ends up being the slowest compared to 2.4. We are in a building with all concrete walls. The router they gave us is a Zyxel XMG-3512-B10A. I was going to upgrade to a new router so we can get coverage in our apartment which is about 800Sq feet. Any thoughts or has anyone encountered a similar issue? Any feedback or recommendations would be much appreciated! I want to make sure the new router route would actually make sense!

| Will upgrading my fiber speed increase my wifi speed? (i.e. where is my bottleneck) Posted: 27 Apr 2021 02:24 PM PDT Big old suburban home (built like a brick s---house, 100+ years old). Fios 200/200 (overprisioned at 300/300) comes into the basement, feeds into a Nest wifi router, and from there goes out to 2 google wifi pucks via ethernet and 5 more via mesh. Plugging directly into the main basement router I can get top speeds, of course. Ditto with wifi test right near the main basement router. As I move around the house, the wifi speeds drop. I have tried to ethernet into the pucks, even the ones that are mesh connected, and that helps the speeds. So, obviously the wifi is the bottleneck, but , and this may seem like a dumb question, if I increase my fios speed, would it proportionally increase my wifi speeds around the house (i.e., if I increase to 400/400 (which is actually 500/500, could I eke out more wifi speeds in different places), or is this a hard and fast bottle neck such that increasing the fios speed is like increasing from a garden hose to a fire hose, but it still has the same (damn) nozzle on it, so you get the same amount of water out of the hose? I know I could do better with my wifi system, but I'm trying to eke out with my nest/google wifi until 6E mesh systems are much cheaper, and then I can go all in. I know the bandwidth for the mesh points to talk to each other is much better. Ditto with wiring every point up in the house -- that'll solve the problem, but too much work/my spouse would divorce me. thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| What router solution is best for me? Posted: 27 Apr 2021 06:06 PM PDT I recently upgraded my Xfinity internet package to 1 gig speed and I realized my existing DOCSIS 3.0 Router/Modem/Voice combo (Netgear C7100V AC1900) was limiting my download speeds to ~580 Mbps. I have decided to move away from the modem/router/voice combo in favor of a stand alone Modem with a stand alone router (no more Voice either). I have already purchased the cable modem (Motorola MB8611). I am now lost in a world of router options. I live in a ~1600 sqft ranch style home with timber/drywall interior walls. Unfortunately, my router will need to be located on one end of the home due to wanting it located near my PCs where I can hard wire the ethernet connections to the router (it is also where the cable jack is located.) Currently, with my existing Combo router I get wifi in the entire home, but it is definitely weaker in the farthest room where we have a TV/firestick (occasional buffering). Should I get a Mesh router system to ensure the farthest room is covered? Would a Mesh system (like Linksys Velop or eero 6) have better speeds than a single stand alone router at it's farthest point? Kind of confused at this point. I just want to prevent buffering on TV farthest from router. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments]  |

| Getting past the disney circle 2.0 Posted: 27 Apr 2021 05:55 PM PDT So my Dad set up the disney circle on our nework to keep us from watching porn(We werent just as a precaution) and to keep my brother from staying up all night so i asked him if i could "Hack" it so there were no restrictions. he said yes and i was off. First i went to this post https://www.reddit.com/r/HomeNetworking/comments/90x6kk/getting_around_the_circle_by_disney/ but the circle has evolved and mac spoofing and pretending to be the circle no longer works aswell as using a netsh command doesnt work either. A VPN would work but i am trying to not use them and proxy chaining doesnt work either because it blocks proxys (I am using windows and kali linux) so i am curious if anyone has an idea. By the way i am kinda a noob so if i am wrong about anything please tell me Thanks [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 27 Apr 2021 02:07 PM PDT Currently have a netgear 6700v3 and 100mps service. When we first moved in there were no issues but have since added quite a few nest items throughout the house and started to have range and droppage issues. We tried adding a tri band mesh router with very little success. Lots of resets and still not what I would call fixed. Looking to upgrade to a mesh system. The house is a ranch with a finished basement (joists still open but painted) house is 2000sqft and almost a square. Basment is 1700sqft the on side is a 20x20 room on a craw with a 2 car attached garage. All brick. My issues are mostly with the 4 exterior cameras and then the connect issues needing to reset the router. The main router is installed in the ceiling of the basment in the center and the mesh extender was added on the side of the house I have the most issues with (attached garage/crawl) half way in between then issues streaming music through the house on multiple speakers. I do have the ability to run ethernet wires and stuff in the joists to the main floor if needed. May upgrade at some point to a 400mps service if it is truly needed. Looking for recommendations, lots of options and I don't not have much knowledge in the area but can do quite a bit if explained. [link] [comments]  |

| New apartment with fiber, does this setup make sense? Posted: 27 Apr 2021 08:54 AM PDT New apartment I'm about to move into has fiber internet. They say it will hook up through ethernet to my router, and all they need is the MAC address of the router to set it up. Does this sound right? My plan is to set up opnsense or pfsense on an old optiplex, connect that to a PoE switch, and then use a TP-link EAP225 for internet using PoE. Will this work correctly? I would rather not be wrong and then have to wait longer to have working internet. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Advice for Fiber and Old/New gen Wi-Fi Posted: 27 Apr 2021 01:51 PM PDT Currently using a Nighthawk X R8000 and recently upgraded from cable internet (100/10) to gig fiber. The problem I'm having is the router is throttling the traffic to unbearable speeds. It wasn't an issue before since our speeds rarely ever got close to what we were paying for, and now with the gig net, I'm getting about 400down/900up. Directly plugged into the modem, I'll get gig speeds, but once I go back to the router...throttled. I've been cruising through forums and I'm hearing a lot of complaints and similar issues with Netgear. I followed a lot of others steps and that's how I managed to get the high speed 400. My hard wired PCs do have gigabit adapters and enabled. Some of my Wi-Fi devices are older and running on the 2.4 band, but I also have some newer Wi-Fi devices , such as my iPad, that just chokes on the Wi-Fi. Solution I came up with; buying a mesh router system. My setup would be a single story 2-bedroom house, possibly rerouting the Ethernet in the office to go into a base station and then feed Ethernet to the PCs; so I can get a Wi-Fi station in the office room. I can wire another station in the living room, but my problem would be adding a station in the other bedroom, as that doesn't have Ethernet wired. Our whole house is less than 600sq/ft, but I am wanting something that will give me the gig speeds I've been missing out on. I've been looking at the TP-Link Deco S4 since that's on sale on Amazon right now. But I'm worried since the price point is rather lower than what I've been seeing for mesh systems, and I usually equate low priced electronics to cost cutting manufacturing. [link] [comments]  |
| Best way to manage bandwidth for an ISP. Posted: 27 Apr 2021 11:27 AM PDT Hello there, I'm starting a small scale isp here in Africa. However, my target being low income households i had to manage away multiple house holds can use a single ap... i have tested it on the apartment buildings and one ap per floor works just fine. My problem is people have different bandwidth requirement. I've installed openwrt on my access points in hopes of having multiple ssids with different bandwidth but that didn't work to well. Now I'm thinking what is a best free open source server side software to manage bandwidth based on username access. Or any other alternative solutions. Hopefully i can get this up and running as soon as possible and too the supply families with affordable internet. [link] [comments]  |
