lol "clog up the spectrum with 12 wireless phones"

have you tried talking to any of your neighbors, who are also allowed to use their portion of the spectrum, to see if you can work something out

if u have coax they make adapters you can plug into that that work like powerline Ethernet but way better since theres no power on there.

It would involve going through the condo board and they address any issues. I can get fined if someone complains when I knock on their door.

That's another hosed up thing. There is a cable jack, but when I continuity test it with the other two jacks in the house, there is no connection. I have looked everywhere for the junction point and I can't find it to see why it would have been cut.

well what if you knock on door, work something out with them, have them knock and the next person's door, and so on. if everyone only knocks on one other person's door, you'd all be in the clear. call it the "knockchain"

shouldn't you only need to double vlan tag if you're already doing ip-ip encapsulation

like what are you doing

since you asked its a router that i write horrible java code for, it has a chip that provides 5 gigE ports but they all show up as vlans under eth0 due to the way it works, so if you also want to have other vlans then certain things need to be doubel tagged and poo poo.

my coworker informed me earlier that the way we do native vlans (create a bridge between the lan port and a vlan) won;t work on this one due to this chip and the fact that it is "smart enough" to not allow that kind of horseshit

SYSV Fanfic posted:

I'm in wireless hell. There are 30 networks in range. They are split evenly on 1, 6, and 11. It's a mix of N and G on every channel, which already makes it hellish. From 5-11 (netflix, cord cutting, lol) the wireless is unusable about 8 feet from the router. Signal quality of 30% at best. My computer desk is in a loft, and the cable modem is on the opposite side of the condo. It is 40 feet from my desk to the cable modem and there is a line of sight. I am skeptical of AC because I fully expect assholes to buy the new equipment that makes ac have 2 channels.

I bought powerline networking equipment, but when an appliance kicks on or off the connection drops.

With respect to ethernet, There are either a poo poo ton of studs in the way around the outside wall. There are no wires run on the outside wall after a certain point. The inside wall and the ceiling are inaccessible as well as there is a chimney that goes all the way back to the fire wall. There are ducts, but the way they branch out of the furnace means that is out.

Apart from my bastard plan to make the 2.4ghz spectrum unusable with cordless phones, forcing my scumbag neighbors to run cables to their rokus and the condo board to address wireless networking - what else can I do..

My best plan right now is to throw a cable out of the loft, round the outside wall, run it under the door mat and to the router. I'd just have to put it up when we had company.

Any non ghetto ideas yospos?

if you have a ceiling, run cables into it and put your router there.

otherwise just pay money for the most powerful router you can find, hopefully one with beamforming antennae and poo poo. or get one with removable antennae such that you can put fuckoff huge ones on it to flatten ur signal out big time.

another option would be to redo the wallpaper in your place with all tinfoil or wire mesh under it!

for a wireless router i wouldn't actually suggest the apple one.

lik emaybe in the past but everything i'm hearing now is they are underperforming underconfigurable and overpriced (lol apple amirite)

I keep reccomending the asus AC68U and it really actually is a good solid router. no, i know asus made it, yes, it's still good.

take the plates off all the wall sockets and look behind them to see if they've stuffed the junction point in one of them. some tiems they don't bother to hook everything up cause it means the cable co gets $$ for installation

I have a thing for courageous dongles

the airport express I got auto sensed that it was behind the router from the att home gateway thing and automagically went in to AP only mode and I only run one data-heavy device at a time so I don't really care if its sharing an antenna for 2.4 and 5ghz. all the parameters I would ever want to screw around with were in the advanced options built in to my iphone and it was super easy to set the 2.4ghz channel because the noise floor at the far end of the house is crowded on different channels so it guessed wrong. A+ would buy again

If it's an apartment it's probably junctioned outside. Even then it's probably running through a splitter and as such you won't see continuity between outlets.


5 gHz is the pro choice for an apartment. You don't need the range as much as you need the clear spectrum.

re: wireless: if the apple stuff doesnt work out, get two 5ghz ubnt nanostations loco and point them at each other. problem solved. if you cant use 5ghz for some reason, i bet the 2.4ghz version would still punch through the ambient interference pretty well because directional antennas.

BangersInMyKnickers posted:

sometimes expanding and extended an array are the same thing, with some vendors expanding means you are adding in additional drives to the array which breaks parity and all that has to be rebuilt while extending involves dropping in a new independent array and the two are addressed as a single physical unit of storage. really depends on what you're working with.

thanks and I think that's where the confusion was. I was using hp. I think extending the array was adding the physical drives and then I EXPANDED the logical volume.

you could put the pagefile on it, but that's not going to do a lot unless you're low on memory. you might be able to get away with moving your profile there, which is where your appdata and temp folders are going to be, and that might speed things up a little, but that might also break poo poo in weird ways
