| How MoCA Networks Work - Collection Post Posted: 19 Feb 2022 06:11 AM PST There's been an uptick of questions regarding MoCA (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) networks and how it works. I am not an expert, but I'd like to create this post to consolidate our overall knowledge in setting it up, for everyone's consumption. As a starting point, below are a couple of must-see links: Multimedia over Coax Alliance Homepage - Deep dive into how the MoCA was developed, as well as list of MoCA certified products. MoCA in Your House - Contains a collection of how-to videos and information in setting-up your home MoCA network. It also contains some recommended certified products you can acquire to include in your MoCA network. Please share your tips and advise here as well! I am planning to have this pinned in our subreddit. Enjoy! [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 19 Feb 2022 07:51 AM PST Hey everyone, I've finally decided to move away from a full Unifi system for several reasons:
My current setup is:
I have decided to keep Unifi running my Wifi as I've never really had a problem with them, and other APs don't look as good around the house. I am currently looking at replacing the router with either pfsense, OPNSense, or a faster EdgeRouter. I am looking to replace the switch with something with more ports (and maybe 10GbE uplinks) and get rid of the extra switches I have around the house (the cable runs already exist for this). My main issues are the heat and noise. Would going for a dedicated PoE switch (to be used only for PoE devices) help with the temperatures? Or should I just go for a large 48 port switch for everything? Also, what are your thoughts on rackmount PoE injectors, noise/performance wise? I'm looking at TP-Link switches, or used enterprise switches. Anything that's a good deal is fine, really. I haven't decided on the router operating system yet, as I've only run proprietary systems - so any advice on what to start should be good; I did check out alternatives like VyOS, but pfsense and OPNSense seem to be the most popular. I wasn't able to find any information about MikroTik, but hear it's good - any advice/video demo links are welcome! Appliance suggestions are also welcome; I'm looking at running two 1Gb connections. SFP is a nice-to-have to eliminate the ISP-provided boxes! Thanks in advance, I look forward to your recommendations! [link] [comments] | ||
| How does a router decide what packet to send out it's modem next? Posted: 19 Feb 2022 11:24 AM PST Hi. Does a router generally transmit packets out it's modem in order as it receives them? I.e. a frame enters the router port from the wireless ap or switch ports and it gets sent to the modem behind any another frames that may be being queued to be sent. QoS may be used to prioritise packets in which case a packet from a particular application/address may be sent before others. Thanks. [link] [comments] | ||
| Router VPN only a range of IPs Posted: 19 Feb 2022 05:06 PM PST I've got a router with DD-WRT. Im looking to use VPN for the router but I don't want to always push my traffic through VPN. Is there a way to create a range or a separate subet that way I could just push some not all traffic though VPN? For example my streaming TV I'd likely just leave on VPN connection since my isp throttles, but it can't run ipvanish for example. Does this have a name or an online tutorial? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 19 Feb 2022 08:30 PM PST Power levels range between around +8 and +10 for downstream. Not experiencing any issues but thinking about getting a forward path attenuator. Can someone take at my downstream and upstream levels and let me know if that's a good idea or I'm wasting my time? (also if what's the right kind to get if I should get one?) https://imgur.com/fC7bdX2.jpg [link] [comments] | ||
| Safe to assume this is CAT 5e? Posted: 19 Feb 2022 02:28 PM PST Kind of old but now have a need for it Label on reel just says Category 5 but cable it says 5e https://www.imgur.com/a/fCCxdsT Edit: odd that so many thing it's just CAT 5 since the cable says 5e. Is this something was done in the past? [link] [comments] | ||

| Loss of wired internet with tp-link Gigabit Desktop Switch (TL-SG105) Posted: 19 Feb 2022 04:00 PM PST I recently swapped our home PCs to a wired setup. About once every 2 days, the 2 desktops plugged into the tp-link 5 port switch will lose internet. When I run the Windows Network Diagnostics it comes back with two errors: When you reboot the devices they connect again fine. Also, if you bypass the switch and just plug a single computer to the cat 5 port, it works fine which seems to imply its an issue with the switch. I'll explain the full network setup to give you a better idea of the configuration. We have a fibre optic terminal connected to our Telus T3200M modem/router. Lan Port 1 of the router is connected to a patch module and wired through the wall into our livingroom. Our network switch is plugged into that Cat 5 port, and both PCs plugged into switch. Any ideas what might be causing this? any help would be greatly appreciated!! [link] [comments] | ||
| Better to put 2.4GHz and 5Ghz on separate VLANs? Posted: 19 Feb 2022 03:47 PM PST Hello, I have 2 Ubiquity APs at home with one SSID for 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Is it best to create 2 SSIDs instead for each band and put them on their own SSID? 2.4GHz seems busy where I live and I don't want it causing issues with the 5Ghz. Thanks [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 19 Feb 2022 03:26 PM PST So I'm on a budget. I live in a rural area and my internet options are limited. My friend gets fiber internet via his power company, but I don't live in their service area. So I am limited to CenturyLink DSL, max speed 10mbps. And it's unreliable. So I have permission to connect to my friend's internet, but he lives ≈ 7 miles away. I have a plan and hardware in mind, the biggest hurdle is antenna towers. We'd have build towers at about 15 meters tall on his end and a little shorter on mine. I was wondering, What's the cheapest, and still effective solution for this? [link] [comments] | ||
| Understanding my apartments network configuration Posted: 19 Feb 2022 07:00 PM PST Hi everyone! As a heads up I am a little out of my element here, so I appreciate your support. Please let me know if I've provided incorrect information at all! I've recently just moved into a newer apartment (around 8 year old build) that has fibre optic capabilities, with ethernet and coax ports covering a lot of the apartment. We've been advised that for the apartment buzzer, we will need to setup a standard landline phone, but a plan is not required, however, the jack is an 8 pin ethernet jack, rather than a 4 pin RJ11 jack. I've looked in the closet to see how it's set up, and it looks like it's been rewired from the POTS connector to use the ethernet cable. I've spoken with our landlord but he was under the impression just a standard landline would work, as that's what the previous tenant was using. From what I've been able to gather, I could either look at using a RJ11 to RJ45 adapter and picking up a standard landline from a thrift store, or purchasing a VoIP adapter to use that way, which I'd prefer to avoid if it's just going to be used to buzz someone in nothing else. Pics of the cabling, there's the POTS that has been wired to a blue ethernet, which is the small grey one - https://imgur.com/a/D72GXvE I am also curious if I would be able to configure my home network to appropriately use the ethernet connections around the house? I've looked at as much would make sense with the setup (pics below) and it appears there's some wiring setup for just landline support (blue cables) and some that goes to ethernet in the walls (white cables), would I just be able to purchase a tone and probe kit to check what is connected to what? We are currently stuck in a contract with an ISP that is coax only (Shaw in Canada), but am considering switching out and covering the cancellation fee to be able to utilize the fibre optics and the switch as there's only the one coax in the living room and I work from home, so would prefer to have a wired connection to my office. Let me know if I can grab any more pics for reference, or if I'm missing something super obvious at all! [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 19 Feb 2022 06:58 PM PST I'm looking to upgrade my current network setup from what I'm running currently. So far I have a Netgear CM600 modem which goes into a Nighthawk R8000 with ddwrt flashed on it. I have my cameras, nest, PC and Xbox connected to it. PC and Xbox are hardwired in. What I'm looking at is getting a different modem and a ubiquiti AP and a trendnet unmanaged switch. I'll probably upgrade the modem too for an Arris sb8200. Would this type of setup work for what I'm going to use it for. I plan on going from router to AP then to the switch for my lan devices. Here's the hardware I'm looking at Arris SB8200 Ubiquiti UAP-AC-PRO-US trendnet TEG-S50g Would this be a good setup? Any recommendations or changes you guys see that I can make? I plan on having this for awhile now so any help or advice would be appreciated. [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 19 Feb 2022 06:38 PM PST lm currently following a tutorial on setting up/ connecting homelab to internet. This is the topology I was originally going by: https://imgur.com/a/OyOFFSW The problem is that I have 2600 series and not 2800. As a result I only have one fast ethernet port instead of 2. However, I have 3 2600XM routers. And each have 2 serial connections. My question: Instead of using 1 router to connect to ISP and switch, should I now use 2 routers, connect them with serial connections, and then use 1 for the ISP and 1 for the switch? If so...would the topology become: ISP/mode/router(192.168.1.1)---->(192.168.1.2 f0/0)router1(s0/0)------->(s0/0)router2(192.168.100.1 f0/0)----->(192.168.100.2 f0/1)switch(end devices) - what would the subnet be for the serial connections? Any help is appreciated EDIT: I need to install a WIC card anyway for serial connections so im just gunna go ahead and buy a 2800 series off ebay :/ [link] [comments] | ||
| Unable to find connection between phone and wyze using netstat on local connection Posted: 19 Feb 2022 02:20 PM PST I have blocked internet access for my Wyze camera so that it is only accessible on LAN. It seems to be working because I am unable to connect over cellular but I can access on my LAN through wifi, and over VPN. However I cannot find the local connection using netstat on my phone (android) or in the router's "connections" tab. I am seeing Wyze connections to various AWS servers from my phone's Wyze app, which is normal I supposed, but nowhere in the netstat list is the camera's IP address found. The router shows 192.168.1.68 but I don't see any local connections from my phone to the camera. So my question is, how is my phone connecting to the Wyze camera over LAN only connections if there is no connection showing in netstat? Thanks [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 19 Feb 2022 06:42 AM PST Apologies if this question has been addressed previously. I recently had an upgrade to my internet connection to 150 mbps download speed. The modem provided by the ISP is a Huawei F2000, emitting 2.4 and 5 ghz signals. My house has concrete internal walls and a wooden base to the upstairs floor. The signal from the 5ghz line is extremely poor beyond the room containing the router, and the 2.4 ghz line is modest at best (speeds up to 50 mbps). I'm not really a power user, just Wi-Fi for streaming HD movies and sports, etc. No online gaming or other very heavy data demands. Would a mesh system improve my situation? I find the myriad of options available very confusing (Wi-Fi 5 vs 6, dual band call tri band, etc). I understand that the overall speed of my line is relatively slow, but I have the option to upgrade to 500mbps/1gbps in the future. I'd very much appreciate your opinions and advice.

| Connecting to a home VPN server, with home network being connected to an external VPN server? Posted: 19 Feb 2022 02:07 PM PST Hey, so i have an external server with OpenVPN installed, which i use to browse the internet from my home network. Now i decided that i would like to connect to my home network from the external device (phone) through the internet, and would like to have the internet traffic from my external device rerouted through my OpenVPN server too. My question is - should i setup my phone to connect directly to a server on my home network (setup another OpenVPN server on my router), or should i connect to the external one? Is there any difference in speed/latency/security? I searched the subreddit and found some similar threads, but i don't think any of them answer this exactly. Also, i drew this atrocity in paint, because i don't have Visio installed. My question is should i go the blue route or the green route. The black route is how it is setup right now.

| Posted: 19 Feb 2022 05:43 PM PST Hi All, I have run cat6 throughout the house and have it set up to feed PoE for access points, cameras phones, etc. My cables are all running to an equipment closet in my garage and are already terminated with RJ45. Originally I was going to just plug these cables directly in to my switches to avoid having an extra point of failure but now I'm thinking a patch panel would be better. So I can easier identify the cables and for my OCD. (Switches being installed are Ubiquiti enterprise for extra power and speed if needed). Now I am looking for feed-thru patch panels and I'm very confused after googling for hours. I need 48 ports. The prices seem to be so wildly different I don't know what I am missing.
All that said, can you all make some recommendations for me? Both in answers to my questions or better yet, specific products that would be appropriate? Sorry if this is a repetitive question but after hours of confusing myself, I thought the brain trust here would help me figure this out simply and quickly. Thanks! J [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 19 Feb 2022 09:54 AM PST Hi all, looking for suggestions or setup photos! My beginning setup:
I'm planning on putting the UDM SE in my office bedroom that is centrally located within the home and would rather not mount this thing in the air near the ceiling, I guess I could, but I'm wondering how many people do that. I'm also wondering how many people run the cables inside the wall and up into the attic where I'll run the cables to their respective camera points and how difficult that may be. I'm somewhat handy and not opposed to doing it myself. [link] [comments] | ||
| Backhaul: Go Wired Or Leave Wireless? Posted: 19 Feb 2022 04:47 PM PST I've had a 2-node Deco X60 mesh system running for a grand total of 20 hours. It's doing great....performing better than my previous 2-router setup (one for private stuff and one for IoT). On the X60 all the IoT stuff is on the Guest Network. I'm trying to decide if it's worth the effort to go wired backhaul. If I do it'll be using MoCA - so am looking for thoughts before I buy hardware. Some data about the environment:
Emotionally the thought of using WiFi bandwidth for backhaul bugs me. So I'm leaning toward trying to get MoCA going. But I'm curious what "most" people do: Wired or wireless? For those that went from wireless to wired - what sort of practical improvement in throughput to devices can I expect to see? Thanks. [link] [comments] |
