| What's the best way to set up multiple 8KM (5 Mile) wireless networks from one house? Posted: 01 Sep 2021 07:16 AM PDT So I live in a small town and have multiple people just outside of the town that are unable to get any real usable speeds.(about 5mbps/0.5 mbps) It is in Canada so temperature, wind, and precipitation are all concerns with this, should I go for one like this https://ca.store.ui.com/collections/wireless/products/airfiber-60-lr?_pos=2&_sid=5312f9a55&_ss=r or should I go with something more like https://ca.store.ui.com/collections/operator-ltu/products/ltu-lr because of the better range and the hopefully less weather reliance because of that. The origin house does have 1.5 gbps/0.95 gbps but the houses I would be sending internet to wouldn't need that fast of speed. Also at 2 of the 3 other locations there are multiple houses on the property that I would be laying cat 5e for so they could get internet as well. Sorry if this doesn't make perfect sense any questions you have I will answer asap. Thanks for reading and hopefully I can get this sorted out and ordered before the weather turns. There is a map if that helps [link] [comments]  |
| Getting my own router for apartment Posted: 01 Sep 2021 05:35 PM PDT Hi my apartment complex uses an ICS network. I'm an esports player and I'm not able to continue my play currently because my ping is 90-100. If I were to get my own router, which I am allowed to do, would that help? Or would it double NAT me and be a waste of money. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Sep 2021 09:39 AM PDT i live in a place where there's absolutely no chance of anyone picking up my wifi as i live in the middle of the woods with no houses within like half a mile of me. also, no one ever comes to visit. should i be concerned in setting up a password?

| Problem with pfSense (I assume) after ISP change Posted: 01 Sep 2021 07:33 PM PDT Hello. Earlier today I encountered a rather odd and annoying issue. I got a new Internet provider this morning (Telus Purefibre, in Canada), and there was much troubleshooting to get the advertised speeds. Well, after disconnecting and reconnecting my primary Windows 10 box from my pfSense router and Telus modem many times, I'm no longer able to access websites, either wirelessly (via my access point) or through a CAT6 connection. Other devices on my network (both wired and wireless) are able to access the pfSense router (and Internet) just fine on my 940/940 line. Oddly, I have no trouble pinging the LAN gateway, or global IP addresses. I'm also able to do nslookups of global addresses, as well as successfully ping outside domains from the Windows 10 bo in question. Although I can't rule out the possibility of my LAN adapter being damaged (unlikely), I can rule out the possibility that my box's wireless adapter was damaged during this morning's activities. I'm able to connect to my phone's LTE hotspot and browse websites just fine. I assign a static IP to this box by default, but changing it to dynamic or changing the actual static IP hasn't changed anything. I've also tried the usual Windows networking fixes, but since I can still connect wirelessly to my phone's hotspot, I doubt that's the issue. Before I get into the nitty gritty details of my pfSense config, is there some obvious pfSense step (or other step) that I'm missing here? Any thoughts would be most welcome. And apologies if I've posted this in the wrong place. Cheers. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Sep 2021 11:49 AM PDT Dual-use scenario. I work from home and need redundancy to stay productive. That is the official reason however the bigger use case is I do a lot of downloading and want to get the fastest most reliable speeds. I have a 100MB DSL connection that has not proven to be reliable despite multiple support requests and tech visits and just got the new T-Mobile 5G internet service. I am accessing the DSL through WiFi on multiple computers. The DSL router is downstairs and my computers are upstairs. Thinking of using powerline instead of WiFi for obvious reasons. The T-Mobile router is upstairs with my computers and currently connecting using a basic gigabit switch. Looking for a router capable of aggregating both connections. I am reasonable tech-savvy but not especially with the networking side of things so easy of use is preferable. I am willing to buy additional hardware but don't want to spend more than say $200 roughly. I know there is a software solution you can buy but not keen on a monthly fee and I understand that uses VPN to tie the services together and I already use my own VPN. Thanks in advance!

| Posted: 01 Sep 2021 07:18 PM PDT I have my office in a different room than where my router and modem are in my apartment. I would prefer not to do wifi for my MacBook and gaming pc. What device can I buy that I can then plug MacBook & Gaming PC into via ethernet that might have gigabit speed at least to the device. I know the device back to the router will be wifi. Hope this makes sense and I could get some advice on how I can do this Recommendations for devices would be great! [link] [comments]  |
| ATT Fiber: Extend Cable Connection between ONT & RG Posted: 01 Sep 2021 02:53 PM PDT Hello! I'm about to have my house hardwired for Cat6, but the RG is in a central location and I want to move it. My question is this: is the connection from the ONT box to the RG just Cat6? If so, could I just get a cable run from the ONT to the closet I want to use and hook up the RG there? Or are there other considerations here. I'm seeing non-success stories about this in my Google searching. [link] [comments]  |
| Tri-band Network and VPN Speed Advice Posted: 01 Sep 2021 05:41 PM PDT Hey all, kinda new to this and getting a bit underwater with my VPN. Need some advice. I have a 1Gigabit fiber connection through Telus (Canada) which comes with their Telus Wi-fi Hub (all-in-one router and wifi). I recently bought the tri-band Asus GT-AX11000 gaming router. I want to use NordVPN for some of my work traffic (set at the asus router). Here's what I want to do:
The issue I'm having is:
Any ideas or configuration suggestions to improve the speed? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Sep 2021 05:25 PM PDT Does opening a cached browser tab on mobile phone send data over the internet. I was trying to access my work from home router settings wirelessly to properly secure it and I accidentally opened up a cached browser tab that I wouldn't want to be logged on the company network. I just need some help from any network experts out there.Majorly concerned if an internet provider can read the data. [link] [comments]  |
| Do I need to use the coax cable? Posted: 01 Sep 2021 05:42 AM PDT Setting up wifi in a new apartment and the xfinity package came with a coax cable, which is supposed to connect the modem to the cable in my apartment. However, the cable in my apartment already has the coax cable head, with a pin in the very middle. So, it doesn't connect to my coax cable - but it does plug directly into the modem. I called xfinity on the phone and they told me I have to use the coax cable for it to work, but they wouldn't explain why. I tried it out and seems to be setting up fine - is there any danger/downside to plugging the modem directly into my apartment cable since it already has the coax cable head? TIA [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Sep 2021 04:59 PM PDT So I'm an electrician doing some work for our operations manager at his home. Has a decent sized backyard and a small bungalow (approx 1800sqft). He redid the backyard and im adding some home automation to control the pool, all housed in his pool shed. Now his current router setup is garbage on the main floor. I've been browsing mesh wifi systems to get signal to cover his backyard and have a node in the shed, but I'm not quite versed well enough to reliably recommend a product. I'd usually experiment in my own home first, but I don't have the time or need for it. Any advice/recommendations is welcome please! [link] [comments]  |
| Inadequate wifi package and signal in new house Posted: 01 Sep 2021 04:57 PM PDT I'm a student in the UK and I've recently moved into a new house share with an existing broadband contract. The current package is quoted average and maximum speeds of 35 and 38Mbps, this is between 5 people and at least 10 devices. Pairing this with poor signal strength and reliability in my room I am considering getting a 'Mifi' package for myself. Any extra resources or information appreciated, I've done as much due diligence as I'm equipped to do; as this is not an area where I'm at all knowledgeable. My main wifi usages are video calls for university and PC gaming, so I don't need super high speeds but with the poor signal I get in my room neither of these are currently possible.

| Wired devices not picking IP Addresses Posted: 01 Sep 2021 04:17 PM PDT I have a UniFi Dream Machine router > Switch > Switch > Office PC (Thinkpad with dock). This issue also applies to the all ports out of the UDM, not just the one running to the first switch. I can reset the UDM and then the ports work for like a day and then everything gets kicked off and when I power the devices up the internet won't connect and they'll self assign an IP address of 169.... Any advice is greatly appreciated! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Sep 2021 10:12 AM PDT I figured I would share this since I got it figured out after 4 hours of trial and error. Objective Bypass the need for an AT&T modem, eliminating the need for true bridge mode, modem rooting/exploits, or IP-Passthrough(What AT&T calls "bridge mode"). Give thanks Thank you to the people hidden online who have performed similar feats for exploits, certs, and bypass ideas. Disclaimer I am not responsible if you brick your router, modem, or any other device on your network. If you can't do the simple steps don't bother trying this. This requires a basic understanding of networking, and effort. Prerequisites
How to
PATH_TO_WPA_PACKAGE/wpa_supplicant -s -B -D wired -i WAN_INTERFACE -c PATH_TO_CONFIG Example Command: /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -s -B -D wired -i eth1.2 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf If you did the above right you will get no error message, the command line terminal will go to the next line as if you only pressed enter. You can now unplug the ethernet cable going from your white box on the wall to your AT&T modem, to your newly configured router.(Whitebox----->OpenWRT Router) After a minute or two you will receive an internet connection from your modem without the AT&T modem being connected. You're welcome. The last step you need to do is add the command you typed to the startup process of your openwrt router. Simply go to System>Startup and add the command on a new line under the lines that begin with a #. EDIT: If you have any questions, message me or reply below and I will do my best to assist.

| ATT Fiber BGW320-500 Bufferbloat problems Posted: 01 Sep 2021 04:05 PM PDT Hi all, I've tried researching a good amount on this, and suffice to say, I am confused about how to fix the problem. I am using AT&T's BGW320 modem/router and dslreport shows very bad bufferbloat (C). I have another router (TPLink AC3200) which has some limited QoS customization. Is the only way to fix my bufferbloat problem to use the BGW320 as a bypass, connect my other router, and then connect my computer to the other router? [link] [comments]  |
| Which wireless router would you recommend for my home? Posted: 01 Sep 2021 12:15 PM PDT Hi All. Canadian here, currently switching my ISP from Rogers to Start.ca. As a result I'll need to purchase a wireless router to connect to the modem they will give me. . Below is some basic info regarding budget, devices etc.
I'm absolutely lost with all the options so was looking for some recommendations. I don't think we need mesh since our home is on the smaller side so a single decent router should get us whole house coverage right? I've been reading Amazon reviews of various "recommended", TP-Link, Linksys, DLink etc, but I see as many crap reviews as I do good reviews! The Google Nest Wifi looks decent but is it something I need? Cheers! [link] [comments]  |
| Need help port forwarding for a Linux virtual machine Posted: 01 Sep 2021 03:58 PM PDT Let me start by saying networking is like Greek to me. I cannot seem to wrap my head around it. I'm trying, please be patient with me. I am running a Linux Mint virtual machine with Virtual Box. I am connecting the VM to the Internet exclusively through a VPN. A program I'm running needs me to forward some ports. I go to my router settings to do that, and I realize my VM probably needs a static IP address. How do I configure my Linux network settings to give it a static IP, the proper subnet mask, gateway, etc.? Does using a VPN convolute that process? I've been trying to figure it out using Google, but it seems like everything it tells me to do is based on some other prerequisite understanding of networking that I just do not have.

| suboptimal routing: what can be done from an external actor Posted: 01 Sep 2021 03:56 PM PDT I am a network engineer from New Caledonia and also a videogame player. Most game host servers in Sydney DC and we usually have 30ms ping to them, but a few months ago a change have occurred and we now have 170ms ping between NC and some hosting services in AUS Sydney. I started investigate this issue to try to understand what is going on and figured that some routes are learn from USA instead of AUS directly. I have identified this announce as faulty for my place: _ 103.101.128.0/22 ( leaseweb AUS) Getting this from my ISP looking (OPT-NC)
I have isolated this issue between AS174 and AS7545. Using both looking glass set to originate traceroute from Australia, traffic is routed via USA before coming back to Australia. and the traceroute give this:
I contacted Cogent, that was kind to reply that they learn the route from AS7545 by an USA IX and they can't do anything about it. I mailed AS7545 ( TPG Internet ) ipnoc with no reply. From Cogent AUS to Telstra AUS give the same problem. I also mailed Telstra without answer. My ISP has been asked by others customers, but they say they can't do anything. They are peering with 2 IX in sydney and then they have no control. If I use a VPN to originate my traffic from Australia, I can avoid the issue, but that's not a solution for my friends. What else can be done ? Is this something my ISP should try to mitigate with local pref, or something I should ask the hosting company to fix ? [link] [comments]  |
| Need Help-Not many internet options. Posted: 01 Sep 2021 03:48 PM PDT Hello I live in a suburban area and I have only 5 internet options all maxing out at 25 mbps* I need at least 300mbps as I live in a fairly large household
I am versatile and and am willing to set up/install equipment if it means I can have better internet. * My current internet was advertised as 150 mbps, but I rarely get above 15 mbps as my network is congested. [link] [comments]  |
| Is SMBV1 client safe on windows? Posted: 01 Sep 2021 03:38 PM PDT I bought a a new usb hdd to put all my movies and tv shows and connect it to my router, so I could access it from any device in my home. However, my router only has smb v1 and I had to activate SMB v1 Client in order to be able to access the files from my windows computer. Is the client dangerous enough to avoid it?

| Changed my Wifi extenders name Wan disconnected what do I do? Posted: 01 Sep 2021 03:36 PM PDT I changed the name to reset the clients on it now the internet is not working the Wan is disconnected I think is the problem I've put it on Ap mode and router mode and neither have internet when I connect do I need to connect the extender to the main router with an Ethernet cable or something? Edit: Tried the Ethernet cable the extender only has internet when connected to main router still have no idea what to do [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Sep 2021 02:53 PM PDT Sorry for the format, it was made on the phone. Hey all! I'm making this post for help because lastly we've having a lot of networking problems in a Two-story house (1800 square feet), specially in the 2nd floor. The problems are: -Distance: The signal that comes to the top floor is too weak, and if it gets there, the speed is around 30mbps down/10mbps up -Connectivity: The AC750s specifically have a lot of problems to connect, or take too much time for devices to connevt to them through WiFi(40 seconds on iPhone 12 mini). They also fail at least once every 1-2 days, and it is a big hassle, because our TV provider are essentially Android TVs, so they depend on the internet availability. We use an ISP-issued modem on the bottom floor with two TP-Link Archer C20 AC750 as range extenders, one in the master bedroom and one in other room. 250mbps upload/ 25mbps download. I was thinking of changing the modem to a better one for long distance. I don't know much about the topic, but for the research I've done, I can't seem to find a general consensus on a particular modem that's good, specially for budget, which we'd prefer. From what I understand, using range extenders isn't the best solution, so what could also be another method to solve the distance problem, if there is? We've also considered putting a ethernet cable connected from the current modem to one of the second floor AC750s and use it as a modem, but it still doesn't help the connectivity. I'd like to know solutions or recommendations for more budget friendly options. [link] [comments]  |
| Ethernet much slower than wifi Posted: 01 Sep 2021 02:37 PM PDT Okay so I pay for 400 mbps my ISP is Comcast Xfinity , I use the modem they sent it's called xfi gateway it has a built in WiFi thing so I don't use a separate router. I plug in my Ethernet directly to modem. I actually get more than 400 mbps I get around 470 guessing I'm in a. Good area, but over WiFi I get 400-430 mbps, but on my desktop over Ethernet I only get 100-120. I have used 3 different Ethernet cables 2 which were cat6 1 is cat 7 all giving same output. I seen a older post awhile ago and it turned out to be a windows issue not sure how. But what's going on? My NIC speed is 1gb so that's not it. edit: so, i reset the computer. its getting 200 mbps, still not as good as wifi, but it improved. lol Still have no idea whats wrong with it.

| Posted: 01 Sep 2021 08:31 AM PDT Hello, I'm in a 10,000 Sq/ft home. I've been using an Orbi "mesh" system for the last year. It was great until the last couple of months. Constant disconnects etc. I'm sick of it. Current Setup: Gigabit Fiber (Fios) with TV. (Basement) Modem/Router Combo > Orbi (Basement) > Switch > Ethernet BackHauled Satellite (Top Floor) I've done some googling but I cannot find a decent answer. I don't know wether or not to choose between the Eero Pro 6 or Unifi Dream Machine PRO I do not have any ethernet ports available thats in the center of my house but I do have ethernet ports on the top floor and basement. Would this be an issue if I went Unifi? With my Orbi when its working wifi is decent where there isn't any backhauled satellites. I have read that having a Unifi system requires some Networking knowledge and apparently constant tinkering? I'm not great at networking but I know some stuff. I would also imagine google would be my best friend. Is a unifi system going to have to require me tinker with it a lot? My goal is to have a network that I can setup and kinda forget. The most advanced stuff I would want to do is port forward once in a while and it would be nice to see what devices are using the most bandwidth. EDIT: I have about 40 devices connected. I don't know how many are active though. As Orbi software sucks. 3 Computers, about 12 iPhones, 4 iPads, 2 Apple TV's, 6 Consoles and rest is probably just cameras etc. [link] [comments]  |
| Should I use a 1 gigabit Switch or 10 Gigabit Switch? Posted: 01 Sep 2021 02:22 PM PDT I have both a Netgear Nighthawk 1 Gigabit Switch and a 10 Gigabit Switch. I'm trying to see which one to open to be used for my devices. Which is mostly just consoles/tv/steaming/pc I'll be using 6 ports on the network switch. I also have a 1 Gigabit Router which I'll be using 3 of the ports since one of the ports goes to the network switch. My internet provider gives me 1 gbps (940 Mbps on both downloads and uploads according to the website) Is it even worth using a 10 Gigabit Switch since my speed is only 1 gbps? There are times when people use the PC, Consoles and 4K Netflix at the same time. Will a 10G even benefit, even a little? I'm just gonna take one of the switches, and give away the other one to a friend. Also, which is better? Modem to Router to Switch? Or Modem to Switch to Router? [link] [comments]  |
