| Posted: 04 Apr 2022 09:22 AM PDT Hello, Active Duty military here, The building I am living in charges $50 a month to access its wifi, but it only allows 2 devices. When I purchased it, they gave me two unique user/passwords to sign in 2 devices via an http page on the same SSID. Im not a networking guro, but is there a way I can somehow NAT behind the access point and set up my own private network like with an extender? If so can an extender connect to the wifi and login via an http webpage? Or any other ideas? Thanks, sorry if this a dumb question. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 04 Apr 2022 09:06 AM PDT I'm in an apartment where the WiFi doesn't reach to the end opposite the router. A friend of mine (who does a lot of home recording) said that he uses the type of WiFi range extender that goes through the house's electrical wiring (you plug one end in to the router and to an electrical plug, and the other end into an electrical plug where you want the signal 'delivered'). My concern is that sending the WiFi information through the wiring will add noise to the electrical signal, just the type of thing one wants to avoid. I ask both because I don't want additional noise in the recording process, but also because I have some delicate modular equipment and I don't know how that would react. Any info appreciated, particularly from those of you who have enough electric/electronic background to understand the details of how this type of range extenders work and whether there could be an issue here.

| How to reach 1gbps wi-fi speeds Posted: 04 Apr 2022 12:43 PM PDT New to networking so please forgive me in advance, I have a 1gbps download line with virgin U.K. with a virgin hub 4 going straight into an ASU's RT-AX86u. Stood next to the router I can't get passed 750mbps with a wifi6e laptop. Wired I can get 945mbps. Am I being naive here expecting to get close router is 2 days old so can be replaced if needed.

| Can I have two subnets on an unmanaged switch? Posted: 04 Apr 2022 08:15 AM PDT I've got an ER605 router which is downstairs connected to my modem. I've run cable upstairs where my devices are plugged into a basic unmanaged switch. Can I setup an additional subnet so I've got 192.168.0.x & 192.168.1.x upstairs? [link] [comments] | ||
| Terrible & consistent packet loss on hop 3 Posted: 04 Apr 2022 10:23 AM PDT Hey guys, what i'm dealing with here doesn't normally affect simple things like browsing or connecting to the internet but lately i've been trying to play a game on a private server that I get disconnected from very consistently. Like, about every 30-60 seconds. I downloaded pingplotter and ran it for a while and noticed that on hop3, about every 10-15 seconds, I get a VERY high ping spike and packet loss (600-850 ms) from an otherwise consistent 15-40 ms. I've manually rebooted both the router + modem for 2 minutes and tried calling my ISP to get them to reset it from their side but they couldn't help me much and said they didn't see any spikes on their end. I'm a bit cynical about ISP's but who isn't nowadays. either way, i'm not sure if the issue is actually on their end. The research i've tried to do has told me that hop3 is typically the ISP's internet but i'm not sure where to go moving forward since they said everything was fine on their end. Is it potentially a hardware issue on my side (modem/router)? Is it actually the ISP's fault? Is there anything else I should check to continue trouble shooting? Thank you for any replies or advice, this is really starting to bother me. EDIT: https://imgur.com/oQlu2CD That's the pingplotter report. [link] [comments] | ||
| Please Help With Getting Ethernet Working in New Home Posted: 04 Apr 2022 08:59 AM PDT Just moved into my new home. We asked them to run ethernet to many rooms and to the 4 corners of the house so we could install POE cameras (see photos). When the internet/cable provider came to connect service they told us the ethernet installation was incomplete in that the wires weren't terminated and that we needed a switch. I went back to electrician and he stated that we weren't' specific and that he can come back to terminate the wires at a cost of $325.. To further complicate matters the internet company installed the router on the main floor and not in the basement stating that "you never want your router to be underground." Please help me figure out what I need to do to get this working. We are not techy at all so have no clue what to do Images of the cables in the basement and example of the POE camera location and ethernet wall jack. https://ibb.co/cgbNrFk [link] [comments] | ||
| Is a dSL or Cable line better for an office building? Posted: 04 Apr 2022 09:37 AM PDT Not sure if this is the right place to post this. If not, if someone could let me know where that would be great. We're renting an suite in a 3-floor office building but need to set up our own internet. There will be relatively light internet usage in the office, so speed isn't much of a problem (above 50 Mbps will suffice). An ISP provides both cable and DSL options, close enough in price and I'm not sure which will be better. From my understanding, if a lot of the offices in the building are using cable internet, then it would result in a slower speed as it's being used across the building? But a DSL internet line wouldn't be affected? The main key is stability/reliability, don't want the internet to slow down/go down too often. Any input would be appreciated? [link] [comments] | ||
| Ethernet and wifi frequent drops on modem router combo Posted: 04 Apr 2022 06:44 AM PDT My internet has been completely dropping service every few minutes for the last 3 days. Isp customer service only offered to reset my router but we already did that several times. And I'm trying not to buy a new one. It drops for both wired and wifi connections. Any suggestions?

| What is the best router with a $300 budget? (Not that knowledgable) Posted: 04 Apr 2022 10:25 AM PDT Please bear with me as I'm not that knowledgable in home networking. I have Suddenlink with 1GB/s. When devices are connected via Ethernet, it works perfect. The WiFi on the other hand, sometimes randomly disconnects, even right next to it. I think the modem/router they provided is trash and I want to get my own. What is the best router under $300? I have a lot of technology devices connected. I live in a 900 sqft apt. I also do a lot of streaming, gaming, and remote work. I can't risk connection drops that much. I don't mind spending money if it means I get the best of the best. I like stuff actually working and being fast. Also, do I need a modem and router all in one like they provided or JUST a router? I only have the internet plan. Thank you guys so much.

| Posted: 04 Apr 2022 11:52 AM PDT I am currently in college, and recently started experiencing network issues (i.e. every 5-10 minutes, I cannot do anything internet related for about 10 seconds). I contacted our college IT guy, and he said it seems to be because my IP address is being manually assigned. I have my ethernet set to DHCP, so I get a new IP address each time, but it does not seem to work. I tried to renew my IP in command prompt, and even updated the drivers for my adapter. Is there anything else that I can do to fix this without access to the admin side of the networking? [link] [comments] | ||
| Compiling list of Gigabit Switches Posted: 04 Apr 2022 09:25 AM PDT | ||
| Network switch stops working with too many connections Posted: 04 Apr 2022 03:13 PM PDT Recently my network switch decided that if too many devices are connected to it (around half its available ports), it will either stop working entirely, or just treat certain connections as not connected (not sure which). I was able to "solve" the issue by unplugging most cables from the switch, and daisy chaining a cheap 10 port switch that I had laying around. everything seems to be working fine. The question is why. It has been working with the same number of connections and load until it decided to just stop. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 04 Apr 2022 02:55 PM PDT Finally got quality gigabit internet and a router that can handle it. But my switch is really cheap (dlink dgs 1008a). I don't know why routers don't include at least 8 lan ports, My asus router is about the same price as an entry level microtik. [link] [comments] | ||
| Looking for some direct burial fiber to connect home to barn. Posted: 04 Apr 2022 11:08 AM PDT Here's the situation: Home and barn/workshop are around 1400 feet apart. I want to extend my network to my workshop. I do not have line of sight because of a hill and trees. I'll be trenching in the next few weeks for water and thought while I was at it I'd put in some direct burial fiber. Does anyone have any suggestion on what I need and where to purchase it? I've never shopped around for direct burial fiber before. [link] [comments] | ||
| Question on Using inexpensive enterprise Wireless Access Points in the home Posted: 04 Apr 2022 02:49 PM PDT I'm thinking of adding a wireless access point in the garage and noticed some inexpensive "Extreme Networks" WS-AP3825i wireless access points for sale. On paper, the hardware should be decent, (3x3 802.11ac, and I don't need anything that exciting in the garage) but I just want to make sure that these things aren't locked out or otherwise gimped by me not having the matching wireless controller or special licensing. I browsed through the manual, and it appears that this model can be configured by SSH in the absence of a controller. Is there anything else that I should know about these ? $25 all-in (budgeting $10 for the PoE power supply) for a ceiling-mountable no-fuss AC access point seems reasonable to me.

| Seeking Advice: I want strong, consistent WiFi in my two story house Posted: 04 Apr 2022 02:45 PM PDT We have 2400 SF two story with modem in the basement. There's poor signal strength in one spot on main floor and the second floor is quite poor. We have 150 Mbps service. I've hear of wifi boosters, extenders, mesh and routers. What's a good solution to this type of problem ? Thanks!! [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 04 Apr 2022 02:44 PM PDT So, I desire to setup a directional long range/high gain network in two buidlings. My plan was, from my exiting router - run a cat cable to another router for this dedicated tx/rx, duplicate the same on the other end for distribution there. "problem" (lack of understanding is source), I understand directional antennas, I know I can unscrew one antenna from the back of the router and screw in the lead to the new antenna (keeping the wire as short as possible). So for multiple antenna systems - does it matter which one I swap? Is there such a thing as a higher power TX router that would better support this config? Currently, seems like I can blast out signals on my netgear/ddwrt router up to 200maon 2.4 (I dont do that but it seems from testing it does support it). I would like a small router that I can put physically nearer to the directional antenna for ease of use (then Ill tie in that network with existing as I see fit). So, any advice?

| Posted: 04 Apr 2022 08:39 AM PDT My cable provider has this weird setup going on. They support DOCSIS 3.1, however it seems only on the downstream? I have 25 downstream channels, 24 QAM256 channels and 1 OTHER channel which probably is the OFDM channel. 4 upstream SC-QAM channels and no OFDMA channel. Which means the upstream should be DOCSIS 3.0. This has happened with two different DOCSIS 3.1 modems I've bought (MB8600 & SB8200), and when I called a tech over from my provider, they installed a CM8200 and voila, the 5th upstream channel appears. They claimed it was a "software issue with my modem." My question is, will having this sort of 25x4 DOCSIS 3.1/3.0 setup have any negative impact on my network performance, disconnections, etc.?

| Posted: 04 Apr 2022 02:32 PM PDT The Problem: Need an inexpensive device to route / switch at 1 Gbps with VLAN & QoS I just found out that the TP-Link SGT108E switch doesn't have the power to process VLAN and QoS (802.11p & 802.11q) at line speed of 1 Gbps. It'll do about 367 Mbps. Hardware offloading is possible to reach gbit speeds but you lose VLAN & QoS. I'm also afraid that an Ubnt Edgerouter x or Mikrotik hEX might not be able to process things at Gbit speeds. Possible Solutions: I read that an Intel i3 could be fast enough, but I'd hate to build a whole PC just to route and switch. Price constraint: I only paid about $30 for the TP-Link switch and about $70 for the routers, so I'd like to keep things under $100 if possible, but I understand that it'll likely have to cost more to some degree. I know I could just build a server and virtualize everything, but I just don't have the budget for that right now. Question 1: Are there any network devices (switches or routers with at least 8 ports) that don't cost a lot of money & are able to meet the aforementioned use case? Alternatively I thought about an Intel NUC small PC with some USB 3 Gbit NICs that I have lying around but I'm not sure if that would have issues with it being on USB and it would be more likely to come unplugged. Question 2: 2.1 Otherwise can someone recommend a very small server board / pc board with at least an Intel i3 on it that could do this? Maybe something from Supermicro? 2.2 Can an Intel Atom CPU do this? Can a Raspberry PI 4 (8 GB Ram) do this & if so, what would I use for getting 8 network ports? 2.3 Most importantly, what network cards can I cram in a small server, that will be ideal for this DIY Switch/Router? I'm thinking Intel cards that can do hardware offloading but they would need to be smart enough to do line speed (Gbit) VLAN & QoS. [link] [comments] | ||
| The outside world can no longer connect to my home web server Posted: 04 Apr 2022 08:19 AM PDT I've got:
Everything works except that I usually can't connect to my web server from the outside Internet. This used to work (for years!) but I only noticed it no longer working within the past week or so. Everything else can connect just fine, and I have no problems connecting to my web server from my home network. From the Internet, I can telnet to port 80 of my static IP and it connects, and I can enter an http command, but then I get "Connection closed by foreign host" before any output. Trying to send an http request from Postman (a REST client) gives me an ECONNRESET error. This looks to me like the connection is able to get through to the server, but it's not able to send back data? Yesterday my phone was able to browse my home web server but someone else's phone wasn't (at the same time), so I'm perplexed. I don't see any logs on my router that would show me what it's doing with the connection. I don't see anything in the server's apache log when this happens (only logs for a few connections that are able to get through, looks like bots). I'm assuming that my ISP hasn't tried to block http/https connections to my home server and I'd really rather not have to bring them into this. How can I go about troubleshooting this better and finding where the problem lies? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 04 Apr 2022 02:10 PM PDT I had FileZilla up and running almost perfect. Internal access and external access was working perfect. Was having trouble getting it to see a mapped share. Played with to many settings, broke basic functionality and uninstalled it to restart. Now every time I go to add my external IP to the list it gives me "couldn't bind on <myexternalIP> Reason: WSAEADDRNOTAVAIL Cannot assign requested address. I even tried making a fresh VM on my unraid server which is on completely separate hardware than my main pc and I get the exact same issue. I don't understand what this issue is. Is my external IP being used some how and needs released or something? [link] [comments] |
