    Is it possible to daisychain powerline extenders 700' outdoors?

    Upgraded to wifi6 mesh system. Would hate to bin wifi5 mesh. I’d like to maintain both, but then I don’t know how to “control” both networks.

    Posted: 29 May 2022 05:44 AM PDT

    I've seen multiple questions about running two networks, but the piece that confuses is me is how I would ultimately access devices on both networks on my phone. Am I an idiot? Won't I need to hop back and forth between networks on my phone to "see" devices on different networks?

    I wouldn't receive alerts from/talk to devices on network 1 when my phone is connected to network 2, right?

    Example - I can't control my nest thermostat on network 2 from my phone connected to network 1?

    Appreciate any insight. Feels like this may be more trouble than it's worth, and should just stick to one network.

    I currently have gigabit internet coming in to the house from xfinity.

    I use an Orbi wifi5 router in access point mode. The Orbi is wired into a switch that my Orbi satellites are connected to.

    To make sure I get the most out of wifi 6 upgrade, I wanted to maintain the original network to offset some of the traffic.

    If this helps with advice - We consistently have ~40 devices attached to network in 4400 sq ft house.

    Home office - computer, printer

    Nest thermostats, 3. Nest cams, 3

    Ring spotlight cams, 4

    Peleton

    4 fire sticks, 1 Apple TV (all "cable" is streaming)

    Baby monitors

    A coupe phones, a couple laptops

    Home alarm system

    multiple sonos zones

    700' of conduit for Fiber: 3/4" vs 1", and PVC vs PEX

    Posted: 29 May 2022 07:29 PM PDT

    I have to run 700' of fiber hand dug through the woods... Is PEX as good as PVC? How much of a difference is 3/4" vs 1"? I'm assuming I'll have a box somewhere near the middle.

    New Router, Using Same SSID - But Many Devices Won’t Connect

    Posted: 29 May 2022 06:52 PM PDT

    All - would appreciate any help here..

    I replaced my current router setup and got to Asus GTX-6000. I went ahead and reset the ATT Fiber Modem, went through the setup, and have everything network wise working - after a bit more trouble then it should be…. Using IP Passthrough I'm able to get a good IP address, etc.

    As I've replaced routers throughout the years, I always use the same SSIDs and passwords for my 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks. Normally this allows for all of the devices (I've got a lot due to Smart Plugs, Ring, Switchs, Amazon, Google, etc.) to switch over almost immediately…. I go through several routers… always looking for something better :)

    So - here's my problem - every other time; every device has switched over without major issues, as I've got the same SSIDs…

    This time - there was several devices that switched over just fine, but probably about 50 or so that didn't… My Echoes didn't switch over and had to reset them, putting them on a new network, where it took multiple times to make work.. I've also got smart switches and a few ring cameras (but not all ring cameras - some switched over fine) that didn't move.

    So any suggestions on how I can trigger the other devices? I've got about 30-40 devices (I've got about 100 overall) that haven't moved over and don't seem like they're going to. It's weird in that some devices from a brand moved over fine, but others didn't…. There's a good Wi-Fi signal everywhere in the house.

    Would appreciate any suggestions… I'v power cycled the 2 Asus's that I've got along with the AT&T modem a few times and that hasn't jolted any of them..

    Thanks

    What is difference between windows firewall or ufw vs pfsense?

    Posted: 29 May 2022 06:09 PM PDT

    Finally optimized my network to use 120% of my 1Gbps connection. Guess it's time to upgrade that too, but it seems anything over 1Gbps is crazy $$$$

    Vodafone Pro Fibre Broadband (UK)

    Posted: 29 May 2022 05:45 PM PDT

    Anyone else using Vodafone FTTH with CityFibre? Been with them for a year now on their 900mbps package and works well. Only thing is the router is terrible/basic and they've even disabled the option to split SSIDs to 2.4/5Ghz for some stupid reason..?

    Anyone had success using your own router in place of the one provided AND is it possible to even use your own router if you have a VOIP phone line connecting to the current Vodafone router via RJ11>RJ11?

    If so, any recommendations for a new router which would support this?

    Advice needed on MOCA with Mesh

    Advice needed on MOCA with Mesh

    Hi,

    We currently have below MOCA setup, with internet from FiOS.

    https://preview.redd.it/zfeu537h7i291.png?width=2538&format=png&auto=webp&s=e903ea2870874c654d4156ae57b33f0507468b9d

    This setup works great, except that our basement has very limited wireless signal. I am thinking switching to mesh and using MOCA as the wired backhaul. Below is the setup I have in mind, and would really appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

    https://preview.redd.it/vn9lbvcv7i291.png?width=2136&format=png&auto=webp&s=8e6ce4e72cfedfe38cb620f3339851f4f5b2c690

    I have read that the splitter needs to be MOCA compliant. Would this one be a good choice, https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0113JAN8K?

    I will also need to pick up a new MOCA Adapter. I think I will just get a same one as the two I have already.

    Thanks a lot!

    Finding bandwidth hogs on my home network

    Posted: 29 May 2022 05:05 PM PDT

    I have a pretty slow DSL connection through CenturyLink which is the only reasonably priced option available to me. I've noticed that sometimes my internet connection slows to a crawl (pings get slower then start timing out). I have a few desktop computers and Wyze security cameras on my network and I can't figure out what might be using all the bandwidth. Most of my computers and all the cameras connect wirelessly; only one computer connects via ethernet cable.

    I thought maybe I could mirror my uplink to CenturyLink and then monitor that port with something like PRTG, but my all-in-one Actiontec router doesn't support port mirroring.

    Also, it seems like PRTG monitors devices using SNMP... and I don't think my Wyze cameras support that, so I don't know if PRTG would be able to track bandwidth use from my cameras.

    Anyone have a suggestion on what my best option is here? I'm not a networking expert, so I need some advice on how to track this down.

    Tri Band

    Posted: 29 May 2022 04:48 PM PDT

    I'm looking in getting a new tri-band system for home (Wi-Fi 6). It will have 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz Lo, 5.0 GHz Hi). I am not knowledgable with how Wi-Fi works, will each band require its own Wi-Fi access (name and security password)? If not and all three bands are integrated, how would the Wi-Fi and devices determine which GHz to use?

    Using cable modem/router as a network hub?

    Posted: 29 May 2022 04:43 PM PDT

    Using cable modem/router as a network hub?

    Sorry in advance if my terminology is off. I attempted to google this but I don't think im using the right phrases.

    I was using regular Cox cable internet and just switched to Verizon 5G home internet. The savings per month was worth it and I've been very happy with the service so far. When I switched, Verizon gave me their modem/router for free so I've got wireless through the house. Being 5G, the recommended location was closest to the edge of the home by a window or door. Check.

    I would like to have a wired connection to my TV and console vs using wireless. I could buy 2 long cables, because the Verizon router has 2 ethernet ports for wired connections. Instead, I would like to use my old Motorola MG7540 as a hub between the two and anything else I may want to plug into it if possible. It has 4 LAN ports but nothing specifies IN or OUT. My question is, does this matter? Can I change the settings to have LAN1 port be an IN port coming from the Verizon modem and the other 3 OUT ports to run to various devices? If this is possible, do I even need to change settings and there is no IN/OUT when it comes to LANs? Or is this type of modem only designed so that the coax line is the IN port and the LAN ports are only OUT ports?

    Connected devices after tkip to aes change

    Posted: 29 May 2022 04:27 PM PDT

    Do I have to set up again all the wifi-connected devices if I switch from wpa2 tkip to aes encryption on my home router? The newer aes encryption is available if I update the router's firmware. I am trying to figure out how big of a project it will be, because I have a lot of smart devices.

    How is a device's bandwidth per second worked out?

    Posted: 29 May 2022 12:13 PM PDT

    Hi.

    Just say we have PC A, B and C connected to a switch. PC A and PC B are communicating with PC C at the same time. PC A sends a frame of 1500 bytes and this gets forwarded out a Gigabit Ethernet port to PC C. 1500 bytes is 12,000 bits. A Gigabit is 1,000,000,000 bits. So it will take 0.000012 of a second (12,000 divided by 1,000,000,000) to send that frame. The rest of that second is used to send as many frames as is possible to PC C.

    How do we work out the bandwidth PC A and B gets each second transmitting to PC C? Is it based upon how many frames in that second it sends towards PC C? Could it be that PC A hogs the interface towards PC C and we say it used 1000 mbps for that second?

    Thanks.

    Port-forwarding problems.

    Posted: 29 May 2022 03:49 PM PDT

    Recently ive been trying to get a server running that i can play on with a friend, it needs me to port-forward but port-forwarding never works, i disable all security on my device and port forward through my router and that specific port always stays closed. I even gave my ISP a call once and got them to open it, which they said they opened it but when i check its not open.
    I dont know why this is happening. any ideas?

    Setup for 1 Gbps Fiber

    Posted: 29 May 2022 12:02 PM PDT

    Hey everyone, I am moving soon and I need a better setup for my 1 Gbps fiber setup.

    Unfortunately, my country is almost fully out of stock on everything Ubiquiti. The only item that's available is U6-LR (about $250) and UDM Pro ($500) I've been looking into alternatives due to this. The place where I got my cables for fiber is in an awful spot that'd be terrible for WiFi signals. Therefore, I am currently looking for;

    Router (for the actual connection)

    2x Switch (one as a general switch, will be together with router, one for my server setup, preferably 8 port and 5 port respectively)

    1x WiFi 6 AP (should be capable of covering the entire 120m2 house, WiFi 6 is heavily preferred because I want to use Wireless VR and such.)

    Currently, what I have in mind is:

    Router: UDM-Pro

    8-port Switch: TP-Link TL-SG2008P

    5-port Switch: TP-Link TL-SG105E

    AP: U6-LR

    The thing is, the cost of this setup is quite high at about $900 USD. So any recommendation on both lowering down the cost as well as increasing the performance is welcome.

    Is it possible to split networks for each port on TP-Link powerline adapters?

    Posted: 29 May 2022 03:34 PM PDT

    I have got an extra powerline adapter which I can use for my laptop, however, the problem is that my existing powerline network is already taken up by IPTV. However, the adapter connected to the router has two ports, so that I can connect two cables, one to the Internet and second for IPTV.

    Is it possible to set up in this way that I'm able to use IPTV and Internet at the same time? Or do I need to waste my money on a yet another powerline adapter?

    Mesh vs Wifi 6 Router?

    Posted: 29 May 2022 02:55 PM PDT

    Looking at TPLink Mesh Deco M4 vs TPLink AX1500 or any other wifi options <$150CAD via amazon dot ca

    Looking for best coverage for coverage, 4k streaming, 4k local streaming (Plex Server)

    Incoming internet speeds are around 70mbps so that shouldn't be a limitation/consideration. Looking for best local network coverage and performance.

    Thanks in advance.

    Should I move my router to my room or just get a big lan cable to my room ?

    Posted: 29 May 2022 02:22 PM PDT

    I would like to move the box to my room but I'm just worried that I will mess my internet up by getting a slower coax cable

    I've also seen people in this subreddit just say get a long lan cable, is this just a better option or is it just easier to do ?

    ASUS? Netgear? I'm lost this go around

    Posted: 29 May 2022 01:56 PM PDT

    Hello all!

    I've just passed 5 years with my Netgear AC1900 (R7000) Dual Band Wifi 5 router and while its held up very well over that time frame, I can't help but start to look at replacement options as my home speeds get faster (1000/500) and I add more and more devices. I was interested in going with WiFi 6/6E, and have read that tri-band is the optimal solution, but haven't been able to nail down a replacement. I've scoured many websites and keep seeing the following recommendations

    ASUS AX6000 (RT-AX88U)

    ASUS AX5700 (RT-AX86U)

    I'm coming to you guys because I've also read quite a bit of negative reporting about ASUS as a manufacturer, whether it be QC, Firmware (read that Merlin is the way to go) or privacy. Are there any comparable alternatives to either of these models?

    Having a decent number of ethernet ports is important to me, though I do have a basic switch I can utilize if need be. I'm also looking to cover about 1500 sq feet.

    Thanks in advance for any guidance you could provide!

    Updating cable model to DOCSIS 3.1

    Posted: 29 May 2022 01:50 PM PDT

    I wanna update from DOCSIS 3 --> 3.1. I was thinking it would be as easy as swapping out the cable model, and let it be 'refreshed' from my ISP. Nope, didn't work (no internet). Do I need to call my ISP and let them know the new MAC or anything? The cable modem was of the same manufacturer, Arris, just the upgraded model, SB8200. Thoughts?
