KingKapalone posted:Yep the tri-band is with the router. I'm looking at the network remotely via the App and I don't see a way to set two SSIDs. Wifi mode is in Mixed. It looks like most of the devices are connected via 2.4Ghz meaning they're only getting N speeds. I found this thread saying that the devices should auto connect to the "best" broadcast https://community.linksys.com/t5/Velop-Whole-Home-Wi-Fi/How-to-change-wifi-mode-from-mixed-to-ac-and-change-the-channel/td-p/1160009 It does look like via a browser I can setup both SSIDs and then just force everything to connect to the AC 5Ghz one. Shouldn't N be fast enough to never buffer on netflix or similar?

Depends on how dirty your crawlspace is frankly, I tend to use a mechanics jumpsuit because it's what I have, I'm under there a decent amount, and it's washable - but a disposable Tyvek suit would work great too if you don't imagine being under their often. I wouldn't really worry about black widows unless you know you have an significant quantity of them or are going to be actively disturbing tons of webs. In my experience (east SF bay area) where we routinely get widows outside, I have never seen one in my crawlspace - they always tend to be other types of spiders. Unless your crawlspace is totally webbed in you should be fine - so it will be more about how dirty you are willing to get to do the job. Regardless, a set of Tyvek coveralls should protect you from both dirt and spiders at the same time. Also, those of you worried about your cat6 getting eaten by rodents....maybe you should pay more attention to pest exclusion than running your cat6 in metal conduit. Based on the mass damage to our waste pipes, HVAC ductwork, and insulation, rats owned our house at one point before we bought it, and we have had zero problems since paying attention to their ingress points. I have tons of cat6 running bare suspended from my floor joists with no problems for 5+ years. Rats will gently caress up way more in your house than just your network cable - better to stop them to begin with than to harden a (relatively) non-critical part of your home infrastructure.

Has anyone that was using pfSense made the switch to OPNsense, and was it worth it? Can you import your previous config file into OPNsense, and is it in active development? I feel like making the switch at the weekend but I don't want to switch over to a project that devs lose interest in and loses traction. I think it's the Wireguard support that's enticing me.

I’ve considered making the switch, so researched it enough to know that yes, switching is easy. Just export a non-encrypted pfSense backup and import it into OPN section by section. I also thought about switching for Wireguard support, but the pf dev’s views here are rational: Wireguard is nice, but hasn’t been audited yet. I have functioning OpenVPN configurations for all the tunnels I need, so Wireguard isn’t a necessity, even if it might be faster and easier to configure. I will likely wait and let OPN continue to improve. It has shown no signs of stagnating, and the pf devs are always months away from some new controversy that will drive users from the platform.

I've got a Lenovo M92P tiny desktop that I got cheap a while back and threw Proxmox on it to start playing with. I'd like to get some sort of backup solution going but not sure the route to take. The PC only has one drive bay which is my 480gb SSD but I'd like to expand a bit more. Not planning on putting tv shows or movies or anything like that, mostly important personal stuff and pictures. Can I get away with going the USB 3 route or would I be better off getting a NAS and throwing a few drives in there? What about the personal cloud storage externals you can get at Best Buy?

I'd like to take advantage of my fiber connection and host a web server and Gitea instance on one of my machines. The options on the AT&T provided router are god-awful in terms of configuration, I can't figure out a way to just forward a particular port to the server instead of having everything passthrough to the machine. Is a UniFi Security Gateway worth it here for ensuring I don't get owned? I'd like something braindead rather than loving with iptables forever.

If yours is at all like mine, you're looking for Settings -> Firewall -> Applications, Pinholes, and DMZ. Just add user-defined applications to map specific ports to specific machines. You can't fully bypass the AT&T router ever, so I'm just living with it. Its wifi is bad, so I'm using Uni-Fi WAPs.

KKKLIP ART posted:Anyone with Spectrum know the lindens they typically install for their 400mbps tier? They are giving me a free speed bump which also has a modem upgrade. I know some might still have the Puma chips? They usually like to give out pretty decent DOCSIS 3.1 eMTAs these days, typically one of 3 mostly-identical models by different brands (Ubee, Technicolor, Hitron). Noteworthy differences: The Ubee version has accessible diagnostics. The Hitron version has a Puma 7 chipset, if you're concerned, but it shouldn't have nearly as many issues as the Puma 6 did.

You should be getting more on your 2014 MBP as it has 3x3 MIMO, here's my old clunker Late 2013 rMBP on my 400 mbps:  This is with an AEBS 802.11ac running the latest Apple 7.9.1 firmware. (It's still getting security / firmware updates even though it was killed back in April 2018, and the last update was 2 months ago!) Also, AC Lites only have 2x2 MIMO which may also be a limiting factor. You'd have to get an AC PRO or AC LR to get 3x3 MIMO. Binary Badger fucked around with this message at 11:28 on Jul 27, 2019 |

The maximum PHY speed on 2x2 802.11n is 300Mbps so getting 250Mbps IP throughput on that is really good. As above, you'd need a 3x3 radio which can theoretically run at 450Mbps. Or just try and find out why those devices aren't connecting to a 5GHz 802.11ac SSID.

Yeah this seems to be the issue. I’m not really chuffed about it because it was a free boost and I’m not really in a position to buy an AC Pro, but google tells me that the Pro would pretty much give me full speed. Good to know!

Do you mean Raspberry Pi specifically or generically (as in: any small ARM-based SBC)? If you want actual hardware you could use the Cloud Key (the older one is like 100 bucks), if you have any sort of virtualization you could also just spin it up in a VM whenever you need it?

Please help. I have a stupid network problem. At work, we built a network that's connecting 2 Macs (one Macbook Pro and one Mac Pro) and 5 projectors all threw one switch. The projectors have LAN control and its what we use to turn them on and off and monitor temperatures. Everything is working as it should. The Macbook Pro is being used for the control and temperature monitoring of the projectors. The problem is when I connect my Windows laptop to that switch (ethernet) I can not access the projectors on my Windows laptop. Everything is still working, but my PC can't connect to anything. I checked and my PC is sending some packets, but it's not receiving anything. And just to make sure it's not something with my laptop and ethernet, I plugged it into my home network and I can log in to my router with the IP address at I should. I'm stumped because I think it should just work...but doesn't. If someone has a thought or needs more information to try and help, please let me know. This is really pissing me off now. Here's a lovely network diagram of the system.

Assuming it's all RFC1918 space there is nothing really to redact. I think I know what most of those words mean, but that's where it ends for me. So...wat? My networking knowledge is limited and the network in question was "built" by my coworkers. It works just fine on all the Macs we have, but just not my PC. I asked my original question to a few other people and someone said: quote:OSX can (and automatically does) act as a router when plugged into a network that doesn't already have one. Windows does not. If that is true, can I access this on my PC by just adding a router in between the switch and my PC? Part of me thinks that sounds stupid, but might it work? If that's all it needs, I buy a cheap router.

IndianaZoidberg posted:There isn't one...? Since this is in an office, I assume the Macs get internet? If so, either they have static IPs, or else the switch connects to something that's providing DHCP (hence 'DHCP server'), either your office's router is doing that (handing out non-static IP addresses) or your office has a main server (such as a domain controller) that is doing the DHCP role. Click your start button, type the letters cmd and hit Enter. In the black box that pops up, type ipconfig /all and hit Enter, then copy and paste everything it spits out here. Feel free to look for your company name in it anywhere and replace it with something benign.

I'll try that next time I'm on that network. That will be in a day or two. The Macs have internet I think, but its threw wifi. This is littery the entire wired network for this setup. The projectors are all set to static IPs from 2.0.0.211 threw 2.0.0.216. I should have been more clear, this is no office. Its a theatre and the projectors are a temporary setup for 3 weeks of performances. Basically, this is a setup that we always use and will continue to use. I just want to make the projector control work threw my PC...because I like money too much to buy a Mac.
