| What are the musts when choosing an IPTV provider? Posted: 06 Mar 2022 07:06 AM PST Hey everyone. I recently moved out of my parents' house and finally have enough money to rent a place where I can enjoy watching my favorite shows and invite my friends to watch sports or play video games. I love my family, but while living in my parents' house, I had to fight over what to watch with my three brothers, who have completely different preferences because my folks believed that having a separate tv for everyone would be a waste of money. If I had more than two kids to raise, I guess I'd adopt the same attitude given the costs. Last week I bought a smart tv, and now I'm waiting for the amazon stick to be delivered. I assumed that choosing the IPTV provider would be the easiest part. But I encountered some trouble choosing the provider. I spent the last two days looking for an IPTV provider that would suit me, but I got pretty confused since most of those I came across don't really offer much info about what channels are available for streaming. They mostly display the price and have 24/7 customer support if I need help. I tried searching for reviews online, but it doesn't really help clear things out either since half of them are five-star ratings, and the other half is ""stay away from this provider."" I'm new to all this tv streaming thing, so I'd be grateful if you could guide me because the only thing that crossed my mind is to choose a free iptv trial provider that shows in a google search and try it out, hoping that it'll be good. I'd like to know what I should pay attention to when choosing among so many options out there. Does the high price guarantee a good service? Or should I subscribe to the cheapest one? Are there any indications that a certain service is better than another? Or is it simply pure luck? I'd be grateful for any advice or hints. [link] [comments] | ||
| Recommendation for Wi-Fi 6 Routers Posted: 06 Mar 2022 07:05 AM PST Can anyone recommend some good Wi-Fi 6 routers? Please do not recommend the Asus RT-86u. It doesn't seem to be compatible with my modem or something. I've had 3 models and I get weird throughout issues. My current n66u doesn't have any issues but the 86u did. Was thinking about the net gear ax5400 [link] [comments] | ||
| Quick question from Network Newbie relating to access point vs router mode Deco Mesh Tp Link Posted: 06 Mar 2022 06:51 AM PST Hey all I have been getting interested in networking ever since I got a helium miner. I'm still researching and learning and experimenting with my router but I thought I'd ask here My objective: to use a device on Ethernet with static IP Problem: I have been able to set this device on static private ip as I wanted over wifi using my ISP modem but I would like to place the device on Ethernet upstairs but my modem is downstairs. I have a deco mesh setup also in addition to my ISP as it's own network. I was using my device by plugging into the deck mesh via Ethernet but I am unable to set a static IP for the specific device only so that's where I'm having an issue. I ran across this router mode Vs Access point and wanted to clarify if my understanding is correct In router mode it acts as it's own network correct? In access point mode it acts as an extension to the ISP network? Meaning all the configuration I made to the ISP modem would get passed down to the deco in this mode? Note that my isp modem is already set to the desired configuration but I just want to use via Ethernet. So if I set my deco in access point mode and move it upstairs, can I plug ins Ethernet and it gets configuration from my isp modem? Please excuse if my phrasing is basic I'm still learning about networking [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 06 Mar 2022 02:57 AM PST So I just moved abroad to Greece, and trying to play valorant on 4g internet, I have a local SIM from vodafone. Im getting really bad ping to every server except Frankfurt. Geographically speaking I should be closer to Madrid and Istanbul servers. Is there any settings on my phone or something I can change to get slightly better ping? My ping to frankfurt is 80-100, and all others are 110+ [link] [comments] | ||
| Running Ethernet to Outbuilding Posted: 05 Mar 2022 07:17 PM PST What's a reasonably inexpensive way to get ethernet to an outbuilding (length of run is 250-300 ft)? The outbuilding is wired for satellite TV, so there's a coax run in place - would MoCA be suitable for this? [link] [comments] | ||
| Need a router to bridge between my mesh wifi system and ISP modem Posted: 06 Mar 2022 06:06 AM PST Hello, the routing in my wireless system doesn't support vlan tagging so i cant connect it directly to my modem. I think my best option is to add in a router in bridge mode that can vlan tag, any recommendations? not trying to break the bank [link] [comments] | ||
| Bluetooth on my router is always on (and I can't turn it off), how much of a security risk is this? Posted: 06 Mar 2022 05:42 AM PST So my router is not the best when it comes to settings but it's working and I get good WiFi speeds. During setup they want you to initially pair it with your phone, and it reuires Bluetooth, but after the setup the Bluetooth is constantly on and there is no setting to turn it off. To be fair, it seems like there is a liit so you can only pair one device to the router, because I tried with another phone and I can't find the router during the setup process anymore. However, I still feel like this could be a security risk?Could someone with knowledge about BT hacking break into my LAN? I'm thinking of buying a new router, probably Asus RT-AX56U in that case. However I don't have a lot of money right now and this kind of phone setup process seems very common nowadays (I don't like it...), so maybe most routers keep their BT always on anyway? Is it something to worry about? Would be gratetful if someone has an opinion on this :) [link] [comments] | ||
| Does the FCC power limit for 5 GHz apply per radio or for all 5 GHz radios combined? Posted: 06 Mar 2022 04:51 AM PST I'm curious, I can't find this information anywhere. Currently, for a 5 GHz DFS channel, the limit is 30 dbm EIRP. That is 24 dbm power + 6 dbi antenna gain. Since routers typically ship with 6 dbi antennas, the router will give you the full 24 dbm (or close to it) if you set the Tx power setting to max. At least Asus ones do. And also MIMO has an effect, going from 1x1 to 2x2 costs 3 dbm, and from 2x2 to 4x4 is another 3 dbm reduction per antenna. My question is though (finally getting to it), what about different radios, do they add up? I don't imagine 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands add up since they are different bands. But what about two 5 GHz bands? Of course they are operating on different channels, but since it's the same band, does the FCC count it as one thing or do you get a separate power limit for each? My guess is it's the latter since a separate radio is like a separate device/AP. Sorry if it's a dumb question, but I couldn't find an answer online and I don't have a tri-band router to test.

| Got fiber internet. Cabling/hardware in my house is capping it 100Mbps. What are my options? Posted: 05 Mar 2022 04:43 PM PST Just got some new fiber internet 300/300, but either the cabling or hardware in my townhouse is capping it at 100Mbps. The Smart Closet (where the outside cabling routed inside) is on the 3rd floor. Steps I've taken to debug:
My best guess right now is the wall outlet. But I looked on the outside of the outlet and it says ``"Cat5e" right at the ports. What could be the cause of this? And what are my options here? Thank you for any responses! EDIT 1: Is it possible to identify if the cabling is Cat5 vs Cat5e by the cabling? There are no text on the cable at the wall outlet on the 2nd floor. But the cables from the modem on the 3rd floor say Cat5e. https://imgur.com/a/Q0S13DS The cabling flow goes like: outside entry point => 3rd floor Smart Closet => AT&T Modem ONT => 2nd floor outlet (where the issue lies) => Google Wifi Router => gigabit switch => devices EDIT 2: Bought some Cat6 keystones and will try to replace the current Cat5e ones. EDIT 3: - Installed a new Cat6 keystone on the ending wall outlet and still getting <100. - Also tested with ethernet in one of the other rooms and it is getting >300. The issue is specific to this particular cable. - Unplugged the device and the light from the modem went out so if nicholaspham is correct, then there is not switch in-between. - Going to try to redo/terminate the cable on the modem side to see if it is from there. This seems to be my last possibility? [link] [comments] | ||
| Extending WiFi coverage for Eufy outdoor cameras... issues! Posted: 06 Mar 2022 04:38 AM PST Hi I have 2x Eufy outdoor cameras. I currently have a Netgear Nighthawk R7800 router. The Eufy cameras are 2.4ghz only and currently I get a drop out on the cams from time to time. The Wifi just about reaches but not enough for a solid 24x7 connection. No worries, I thought, I'll purchase Netgear's EX8000 WiFi Mesh extender and all will be fine. So I set it up and configured it and now the cams have very good WiFi but while I can connect to the cameras the Cloud features and Notifications from the cam do not work. I then began to notice other things, when I connect with my phone to the extender then I notice my WiFi Calling does not work. It seems like while the extender provides internet access there is some issue with certain things from working. Maybe some sort of NAT issue? Or things that maybe use specific ports? My questions are:
I thought about full Mesh like Netgear Orbi but I wonder if that will have same issues that some things wont work on the satellites. Very confused! Appreciate any wisdom :) [link] [comments] | ||
| Trying to figure out a router to purchase Posted: 05 Mar 2022 08:40 PM PST Hello, I have been trying to figure out an affordable VPN-capable router to purchase. They all seem to be unbelievably expensive ($150+). My budget is basically $150. I saw some stuff about using Raspberry Pi into a router, which seems reasonable enough, but the issue for me is I need one device (besides my modem) hardwired into the router as it needs an uninterruptible internet supply. I have discovered PfSense and trying to build a router, but I'm having a hard time figuring out what hardware to purchase. This also seems like an expensive option. I am frustrated with this chip shortage! Can anybody recommend a VPN-router that is affordable, or some DIY-way of doing it? The Raspberry Pi idea sounds the most exciting to me but I don't know how to have a device using ethernet with it. Thank you all!! [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 06 Mar 2022 03:56 AM PST For the past 4 years I've been browsing to upgrade some of my home switches to 10Gb Ethernet to increase transfer speeds between my different floor server/Pc. I have a CAT7 cabled network but been using the classic gigabit ethernet switch so far, because I can only see extremely expensive 10GB switches overall. It would be sufficient if I could replace two of my GB switches for a 2-port 10GB Ethernet switch, but I'm willing to find an extremely budget option in my country. $100-$150 would me my current budget per unit, but so far it has been almost impossible to find anything in that gap. I've found plenty with SFP 10GB but I need the Ethernet version. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 05 Mar 2022 06:56 PM PST Hi guys I set my WAN dns to cloudflair 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 Now if im set device to be static IP In DNS1 I should put 192.168.1.1, and DNS2 leave blank? Or in DNS2 should write 1.0.0.1? Please explain me that, thank you :) [link] [comments] | ||
| ASUS XT8 wired backhaul limited to 100mbps Posted: 06 Mar 2022 03:40 AM PST Hi guys, Trying to work out how to fix this. I replaced my 10+ year old combinations of wireless routers in switch mode with proper gigabit router and switched, to try and get better performance. But I've just realise that my wired backhaul for my pair of XT8s are still limited to 100MBPS. My current setup is- 1) Internet (NBN-100Mbps) -> TL-ER7206 -> TL-SG116E 2) SG116E connects to my 2 XT8s as well as a number of other devices. I got the XT8s to improve roaming across the house. And while it is better than the crappy old wireless routers in AP mode they still stutter on handover (especially when making calls). I've also noticed that when everyone (on wifi at least 4 devices) is using video calling for work and school, network quality drops. I've checked the cables and they seem okay. I've read that this is a problem (backhaul being limited to 100mbps). Any suggestions on how to improve it. I've read a couple of people suggesting moving off AIMESH with dumb access points (same channel different frequencies) Has anyone tried this? How wold you measure if the backhaul link is improved?

| Best material to cover a wireless access point? Posted: 06 Mar 2022 02:45 AM PST I have an old style house and having a plastic wireless access point in plain sight would just look terrible. So I'm planning on hiding it, but I also obviously don't want to restrict the wireless signal. What are the best materials for covering the access point with a minimal signal loss? I've been thinking of hiding it behind an oil painting, some (thin) wood or similar. Would that have a big impact on the signal? I'm assuming plastic would be a good material since that is what the AP is already covered by, but I don't think I'll be finding any plastic that would fit into the house. I've also looked at glass (painted or with a mirror film), could that work? [link] [comments] | ||
| High-Power FEM on TP-link AX20 vs AX23 Posted: 06 Mar 2022 02:40 AM PST Hi, can someone explain to me importance of having a High-Power FEM on a WIFI router? I am leveraging between TP-link AX20 and AX23 models, and this FEM module seems to be the only difference between them. Looking at model number, AX23 seems like a newer model so I am inclined on getting that one (its also a bit cheaper), but I am afraid of losing a WIFI range. There is a press release for AX23 saying it even has a better range than their other similar models, but I cannot find any reviews or reports that confirms it. [link] [comments] | ||
| DNS Server On Router and Phones Posted: 05 Mar 2022 10:08 PM PST Hello, I was wondering that if you configure your DNS server on your router do you have to configure it again on your iPhone? I heard about DNS servers recently and people say that 1.1.1.1 is really good and I put that on my router settings. So I was just wondering if I have to put it again on my iPhone just in case.
