| Posted: 24 Mar 2022 04:40 AM PDT My setup:
This setup was working properly and without issue, and then a power cut has cycled everything. Now the main d-link will boot, and connect, and then after a short amount of time I lose internet via the mesh WIFI. My working theory is there is a clash between the ISP Router and the D-Link COVR, but I'm not sure exactly what. Ideally I would operate the router in modem only mode, but it lacks this functionality. On the D-link COVR, there is an option to change the gateway from 192.168.0.1 to something else - should I do this, as that is the IP my main router sits on? On the main Router, I can change the LAN TCP/IP setup, or untick the option to use the Router as a DHCP server. Should I modify these? [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 24 Mar 2022 01:59 AM PDT Power consumption and setup time is not that important. How powerful do det server have to be, will inter atom work? [link] [comments] | ||
| How do I get started with wiring Ethernet? Posted: 23 Mar 2022 03:57 AM PDT I've just upgraded to 1 gig internet, so thought it would be a good time to run ethernet wires to a few rooms in my house, but I have no idea what needs to be done, how to get started, or who to hire (electrician?). The internet comes into the house through an upstairs office. I want to run ethernet to 3 other rooms on the same floor and possibly 1 room downstairs. Can anyone provide some guidance, preferably with recommendations on how many cables to run, which products and cables to get, etc? I'll be looking to hire someone to do this for me once I fully understand what needs to be done - would it be an electrician? [link] [comments] | ||
| Bufferbloat, how videoconferencing and web traffic interfere, and how to fix it Posted: 23 Mar 2022 06:57 AM PDT In various talks I've tried to convey intuition as to why "smart queues" and optimizing for "videoconferencing and gaming" are needed on every fast to slow transition on the internet. Recently I gave this one, which has some new analogies for how the internet really works, that I hope work on more people? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWViGcBlnm0&t=120s I hope y'all find it funny and informative, and I'm also looking for ways to improve my "edutainment" attempts like this, perhaps using animations. As popular as sqm now is, improving wifi is more on my mind these days, and in 8 minutes here I explained one of the key reasons why most wifi APs don't scale well to multiple devices. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb-UnHDw02o&t=1550s Please share these with less-geeky friends and let me know what analogies work, and what doesn't?

| Posted: 23 Mar 2022 06:41 PM PDT Years ago I added the xg-16 and upgraded my home network to 10gb. I am planning on adding unifi cameras and now need to add more poe (I have just been using adapters for my APs). I don't know why I didn't think of this, but more recently Ubiquiti released the Pro line of switches with Poe and a few 10gb SFP+ ports. My us-xg-16 only exists for a few devices: Wired to my router via 10gb (connected to 2.5gb modem for 1.3gbps internet) Wired to my workstation for 10gb. Wired to my server for 10gb. So I only have 3 devices that utilize 10gb (one being 2.5gbs). The switch pro has 4x 10gb SFP+. As well as 40 ports POE. So I could power my new cameras, get 10gb connections for 4 devices, cut down my power consumption from 2 switches to one. I could sell my us-xg and 24 port switch, plus adapters and cover some of the cost for the upgrade? Are there any downsides to my plan other than spending more money? The only kicker I can think of is if SFP+ 10gb cannot negotiate with N-BASE-T speeds. [link] [comments] | ||

| Are there any Wi-Fi Extenders that use PoE? Posted: 23 Mar 2022 11:26 PM PDT Looking to find a Wi-Fi extender or MESH system that uses PoE to power the remote Wi-Fi extenders, thus not requiring an AC power source at the location of Wi-Fi extenders. Example, running a CAT 6 cable 150 feet to a remote location that does not have power, then using PoE to power the Wi-Fi extender. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 23 Mar 2022 10:42 PM PDT I want to install 3 Unifi Flex 3 cameras, 2 APs, along with a NVR + Controller. This is the network setup that I have come up with. Initially, I was going for UDMP but realized it didn't have PoE, the lack of which would add onto the budget and I didn't want to go that high. Also, would the switch bare the load? I might add a home server for NAS, Media server purposes down the road. Furthermore, I recently got to know about BlueIris. Is that something that I should look into? I live in Canada. Here are the links to product pages for all that I have listed above: AP1: https://ca.store.ui.com/collections/unifi-network-wireless/products/unifi-ac-pro AP2: https://ca.store.ui.com/collections/unifi-network-wireless/products/unifi-ap6-professional [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 23 Mar 2022 10:31 PM PDT I want to move a PC around. Where it is has a wired connection and I might eventually run an extension from that to the new location but I don't have time right now and the WiFi environment is really pretty good. So for now I am going to slap a WiFi card in it and see what happens. PC is running Ubuntu. Don't remember offhand the release but it is whatever the latest LTS release is. This does not need particularly high speed. This is out in my shop and is mostly for watching youtube videos on how to fix whatever car problem I am working on at the moment or ordering parts. It does connect to a NAS where I stick some manuals and such but still not a high speed demand. Thanks in advance for your suggestions. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 23 Mar 2022 10:07 PM PDT I'm a newbie to all of this stuff. My original plan is to just run an ethernet cable from the router through the wall using a grommet to the adjacent room, to the pc. is that viable or is there a better way? [link] [comments] | ||
| Security camera built-in Ethernet cable lacking brown/blue striped cables (only 6 wires). Posted: 23 Mar 2022 06:16 PM PDT I am patching a new RJ45 onto the end of the Ethernet cable which is attached to this security camera. The original end was cut off to facilitate installation (it was too large to fit into the conduit) since wifi was used. Unfortunately the homeowner got a new wifi network and threw their old router in the trash (…) so I have no way to connect to this camera except by patching a new Ethernet cable onto it and connecting directly. I figured it would be an easy job, but the cable is missing the blue striped and brown striped cables entirely. I can confirm that this jack worked previously. As you can see I have very little cable left so I don't want to just "skip" those two wires in case I need to do a jumper or something. Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Wireless Access Points: Ethernet cable needed? Posted: 23 Mar 2022 03:55 PM PDT Do most wireless APs need ethernet run to them or can they usually connect to the network wirelessly (and thus be 'fully' wireless except for DC power)? For example: TP-Link EAP225. And yes i know wired is better but it's also good to know stop-gap options :-) [link] [comments] | ||

| How do I stop my ISP from blocking SIM service? Posted: 23 Mar 2022 09:44 PM PDT My provider sent an email saying that because I'm not using a mobile phone for my sim then they're going to block service in 7 days. How can I make them think I am? I got this plan for its unlimited data (at not very impressive speed) and am just using a SIM compatible modem. Seems a bit ridiculous that they're not allowing that. I would be using my hotspot in any case otherwise and using the same amount of data either way so whats the difference? Anyway, apprecciate any advice! [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 23 Mar 2022 08:48 PM PDT hi there i'm looking for purchasing advice on a separate modem, router, and switch 1Gbps rackmount if possible and in the future add cameras. I would like to know about Ubiquiti and another option if you have one please. my budget is at or below $1000 usd [link] [comments] | ||
| Can the ISP detect my router connected via wifi with an extender? Posted: 23 Mar 2022 08:44 PM PDT I've connected with an ethernet wire my router to a wifi extender that gets the wifi signal sent by the ISP wifi router (they cut off the ethernet connection on purpose). I've done this to have a local managed network with an internet connection since they don't allow me to manage their router. Can they detect my router? Could something be done to hide it from them? Thank you. [link] [comments] | ||
| What devices should I pull cable for, besides those to the desk and TV areas? Posted: 23 Mar 2022 03:32 PM PDT I know there are things I haven't considered pulling cable for- everything besides computer equipment is new to me. My question is- what could / should a home network have cable pulled for? These are in the current plan: TV, Apple TV, NAS, Amplifier. Computer & Printer. A second WiFi AP & future PoE switch. Plus, 1-2 extra drops & string at each spot for just-in-case. These are things that seem to be devices that may benefit from cable, though I don't know if cable is ideal, or even an option, or what's missing that should be here: Security cam, security NVR, Doorbell, Door lock, Zigbee hub, Motion sensor, thermostat, Garage door opener, smoke detector, Speakers… Any thoughts, tips or ideas you folks have are, as always, greatly appreciated.

| Posted: 23 Mar 2022 06:45 PM PDT So I have the need for 2 5GHz bands and up until recently my channel selection was pretty limited (based on the wireless router itself and some external equipment causing interference). But now have found a way to change the interference and a new router with a little more selection available for the channels I have a lot more freedom. Previously: Channels 149-161 were out of the question, my wireless sub/surrounds were using that frequency and it just kills the speed whenever the TV is on. I had one band (for my Quest 2 and Airlink) setup for channels 36-48 since that was all the 2x2 band of my router allowed for, the other band ran on DFS 100-112 (I believe I have some issues with weather radar if I attempt to run higher than that and I couldn't risk being kicked to 149-161 due to the sub/surround issue). Worked OK, but channels 36-48 are pretty busy in my neighborhood and the latency sensitive nature of Airlink wasn't great). New router, now on I can do 52-64 for Airlink none of my neighbors have a DFS capable router so I get that all to myself and 100-112 still for my main Wi-Fi. Anyway new firmware for the sub/surround allows me to switch to channels 36-48 instead of 149-161, while there are a one or two SSIDs that show up on 149-161 its not nearly as bad as the low channels. My question, do I stick with: Airlink 52-64 and Main Wi-Fi 100-112, or would there any advantage in going to 149-161 (with minimal crowding). TLDR: Is there any benefit from going from channel 100-112 DFS (where I don't appear to have any issues with Radar) to channel 149-161 that has a few other SSIDs of my neighbors on? Also is there any discernable difference between any of the 80MHz channel groups in terms of performance? Thanks. [link] [comments] | ||
| Split one PoE cable to separate data & power cables? Posted: 23 Mar 2022 06:40 PM PDT I bought a ceiling speaker with a PoE add-on that inexplicably only provides power to the speaker - it requires a separate cable to be connected for data (ie: it can't receive data & power from the switch over the same cable). I could run a second cable from the switch, but it seems silly to have 2 connections at my switch for the same speaker. What I'd rather do is just split out that one cable, to one rj45 that supplies toe PoE to that module, and another rj45 that connects to the ethernet jack on the speaker. Is such a thing possible?
