apropos man posted:A quick search suggests that it means that if you're actually using all ports at once then you'll get a full gigabit speed on each port. If you buy a cheap switch (like my TP-Link which is getting replaced when my Ubiquiti 8-port arrives this week) then you'll often find that the internals can't cope with delivering full gigabit on all ports at once: the bandwidth is shared internally. I guess it depends how cheaply made the switch is to how many ports at once you can get full gigabit on. Cool. I figured it would be like 32Gb bandwidth full duplex so the 16 number kind of threw me for a loop. Still, chances of me maxing out the entire switch is zero. It just my personal house switch.

No shame in over-provisioning if you can afford it. I wish I'd never went the the cheap switch in the first place but I was a bit more naive about networking at the time. Still, it'll sit in a drawer for a few months and maybe get donated to someone eventually. Edit: I was replying to redeyes.

Use IPv6, even if it's just to be comfortable with how things work in a world without NAT, and so you aren't someone who turns it off at the first sign of a connection problem.

redeyes posted:Any idea what non-blocking throughput means? Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but it's the max thoroughput of the switch before (in certain circumstances) it gets overloaded. So say you have 24 ports, and it'll say non blocking 48gbit of traffic, that means every single port can send and receive 1gbps of traffic at the same time and the hardware will handle it. Back in the day we had some Cisco line cards (6148-ge-tx) in a big chassis switch that had 6 ASIC chips per 48 port line card, so 8 ports on the card were dedicated to each ASIC. Each ASIC could only handle 1 gigabit of traffic each, so if you had high bandwidth requirements you needed to space the connections out or you would run into a situation where traffic would be blocked due to the hardware not keeping up. It wasn't a big deal for us as we used those cheap line cards for workstations, and had better ones for the server connections that were non blocking, but also more expensive. Also TLDR, doesn't matter in a home use scenario. apropos man posted:No shame in over-provisioning if you can afford it. I wish I'd never went the the cheap switch in the first place but I was a bit more naive about networking at the time. I'm absolutely frozen at making a decision on what switch to buy for my house. Do I get a basic unmanaged 24 port switch, spend the extra for a managed? I want something fanless and I'm leaning towards an HP 1810 or 1820 off ebay, but I'm not sure. I have a 3750G laying around, but I don't think I want the power usage or the fan noise in the house. skipdogg fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Aug 14, 2018 |

I'm starting to see the usefulness of having PoE available in your house. And ideally you want a switch that does VLANs so you can keep all the IoT poo poo away from anything remotely important. Not-quite current model HP switches seem to be cheap on eBay most of the time - a 24 port 2530 with PoE is around £300 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/173458978538) and are more than enough for a home. Very quiet as well.

Is there no way that you can put a small Linux machine in between the second Xbox and your router, then map the port coming into the Linux box to an alternative port going out of it and then NAT the alternative port to go to the internet? I'm tired and really haven't thought this through properly, so it may be absolute codswallop advice.

I'd assume Xboxes are smart enough to use ephemeral ports, so the article that wolffenstein really should do the trick. A thread on Reddit came to the same conclusion - https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/4h5e8k/how_to_run_2_or_more_xbox_ones_with_open_nat_on_1/ It sounds like maybe UPnP just isn't working correctly on your router?

Internet Explorer posted:I'd assume Xboxes are smart enough to use ephemeral ports, so the article that wolffenstein really should do the trick. UPnP is enabled but a few things changed between playing Fortnite a few weeks ago, and trying the Black Ops 4 beta last weekend. Aside from playing different games, my router changed. I was on an Asus RT-AC87U, which I returned due to poor wireless performance. I'd be willing to give another router a shot that's known to support UPnP properly. Should I just try that same Asus router again? Wired performance was fine, just wish I'd been able to test it with the BlOps beta, and I assume a replacement would work ok regarding wireless.

Just finished setting a pi-hole up using a first gen RPI and I gotta say, this is pretty handy. Only problem setting it up was the fact that the raspian install I had sitting around was way too old to let me install it originally, but after doing a clean install it went together in just a few minutes.

I returned them both to get a couple of tehuti cards(with sfp dac cables) and never had any issues afterwards. If i had to pick i would go mellanox or broadcom rather than aquantia.

Oh right, sorry, at the modem level. I've always been able to establish a connection via PPPoE to the modem, which then uses MPoA for the link over the VDSL line. Have you ever been able to have the modem do PPPoE, since the VDSL part of the link isn't Ethernet.

Just been going off of old forum posts so mayyybe? I cant remember what my Virgin connection used to use as their modem did all the work for you. Fwiw, Drayteks in box instructions tell you to configure their modem in PPPoE mode not MPoA, only when you dig around on their website to find their bridge mode guide does it tell you to use MPoA

You'll want to look into what the maximum transmit levels for the radio spectrum are, not just wifi. Since wifi operates in unlicensed spectrum in most places, the transmit levels are going to be based on the spectrum, and not wifi specific. Most places, it's the ISM bands. In the US, it's a transmitter power of 1 watt, with a maximum EIRP of 36dbm. http://afar.net/tutorials/fcc-rules/

What's the best way to get internet from my house, through 2000 ft of trees and houses to my mom's house? Would 900mhz Ubiquiti gear work for this? Our neighborhood has gigabit fiber, hers does not plus she doesn't want to pay for it. I'm a good son and I like a challenge. I probably can't put a pole up but I do have a pretty tall roof gable that's facing the correct way. The trees to the right of the red call out don't exist anymore.

900Mhz is more likely to work than any higher frequency, it's probably not going to be great if there's buildings in the way. All you can do it try it - a pair of LocoM9 radios are the cheapest way to do this.

WattsvilleBlues posted:Quoting in desperation. You're trying to break a fundamental rule of networking. You can't NAT one port/IP combo to two devices. I know the end result you want sounds frustratingly simple, but if two people are using xboxes to play games then at least one of them is very likely to have a bad time. You're at the mercy of MS and the game designers to design their networking pieces to be able to support multiple ports and try them in a failover/round robin/etc fashion. The best thing you can do to make it as adaptable as possible is to enable UPnP. The xboxes and your router will negotiate forwarded ports as necessary/possible, but if those ports are already in use by another xbox then it will not work and you won't have open NAT. Even then you're at the mercy of your router manufacturer as there are lovely UPnP implementations out there as well. I haven't turned on my xb1 in a while but if it does allow you to use alternate ports then you can try setting that up, but keep in mind that individual games also have their own port settings which are likely to conflict.

There's additional overhead in the tunneling as well.

I had mine working with cloudflared but the latest update seems to have broken it, so I've reverted back to running it standard. I had a few issues upgrading to 4.0. I believe with cloudflared the problem was with the guide I originally used to implement it. They had me editing dnsmasq files which were replaced as part of the upgrade. What I wound up doing was just changing the setupVars.conf file to have 127.0.0.2#54 as server 1, and not other servers. This winds up the same as setting the upstream dns in the GUI to a custom upstream with the value 127.0.0.2#54 so I guess you could do it via the GUI as well.

Happy customer after following thread advice and upgrading to some better equipment. I felt the need to show my handiwork in diagrammatic and pictorial form and holy crap I didn't realise how many wireless things are scattered about our home network (considering myself an average home user) until drawing the diagram. I even missed of a bunch of stuff like WiFi scales, some smart bulbs, guest phones etc. Because I'm in rented I can't permanently install anything, but luckily I've managed to cram most of the stuff behind the TV so it is out of direct sight, but I can still peak round to admire my half-assed attempts at cable management.

Nice. Is that the 60W version of the UniFi US-8? Mine arrived for collection at Argos this afternoon but, due to work, I won't have time to collect it until Saturday morning.
