Good quality 5GHz network running at my place, while my neighbors are all busy making GBS threads up the 2GHz network. yo you absolutely do not need to find enterprise IT stuff to have decent wifi at home nor do you need openWRT so please ignore this ridiculous advice. source: I am an Enterprise IT person.

I need to Ethernet up my computer somehow, haven’t had any issues with latency using it for gaming or whatever but the plex server seems to really hate talking between two devices running on wifi no matter what I do to the quality and transcoding settings. I also gotta figure out a relatively cheap solution to relay internet to the brother in law’s caravan so he’ll gently caress off and actually start sleeping in it so I can set up my sewing room. He wants to just run an Ethernet cable through the yard for 50m and I keep telling him that probably isn’t happening even if we find a cable long enough and get the electrician to pipe it through with the 240v connection bc there’s no good cheap way to run wires from inside the house to outside Jezza of OZPOS fucked around with this message at 22:22 on Mar 5, 2020 |

like I said, there's not a good way to get the cable running out of the house from the router anyway. he's gonna have to live with a wifi solution one way or the other.

Guys Wi-Fi is fine for 99% of the time. It’s just gaming branding is dumb. You do absolutely not need enterprise APS for home use. Christ in heaven.

If you want to spend moderate on wifi and never worry about it again set up a Unifi AP. Don’t need to go their whole stack, Nano HD would be a good one or the AP AC Pro if you want to spend a bit less. Edit: No commercial affiliation, I’ve run their stuff at home for the last 5 years and it has been good.

I think the short term solution is 100% every poo poo router I’ve had as a waypoint at any spare power points between here and there. In the longer term I’d like a better quality solution both for him and bc it will mean I’ll have more options for music in the yard and workshop if there’s good thorough coverage but the cost/benefit analysis outcome goal rn is ‘will this stream crunchy roll’ which I’m hoping I can do with a daisy chain

Malcolm Turnbeug posted:I need to Ethernet up my computer somehow, haven’t had any issues with latency using it for gaming or whatever but the plex server seems to really hate talking between two devices running on wifi no matter what I do to the quality and transcoding settings. Your Computer: Ethernet over power or PowerlineAV, if you arent comfortable running your own cables under the house/thru the ceiling/walls. I have had good luck with Netgear, TP-Link devices. They are all standardised so you can intermingle Brands if you need to add more devices later (they will operate at the speed of the lowest speed device). alternatively, Dual-band wifi may resolve the issue. if your router supports that, you put one device on the 5ghz band and the other on 2.4ghz and it gives you more bandwidth (2 devices sharing a single band effectively halves the bandwidth) The other way you do it is get your plex server on an ethernet connection to the router. that leaves more bandwidth for the devices on the wifi. Your BILs caravan - tell him to buy a 4G hotspot and gently caress off. if you're feeling charitable, Ethernet over power will work via whatever 240V connection he gets. you absolutely can buy 50m+ pre-terminated Cat6 cables. Cat6 does Gigabit up to 100m in length, and after that its 100mbit. you would have to buy a box of cable and terminate it yourself beyond 50m I think (or the link below has custom lengths available too) https://www.4cabling.com.au/cable/cat6-patch-leads/cat-6-ethernet-cables.html?cable_length=82 edit: Malcolm Turnbeug posted:I think the short term solution is 100% every poo poo router I’ve had as a waypoint at any spare power points between here and there.

I refuse to drill any holes in my weird lovely corrugated steel kit home for my weeb bro in law at least until I’m a bit handier with the welder. I’m still sore from the nbn guy poking 4 holes in it and when the supervisor came out he had this real beleagured look on his face and he explained he spends most of his time fixing poo poo jobs his contractors do on this particular style of home

look if you have not yet figured out full coverage internet access for your home and property in the year of our lord 2020 you are a “how 🤣I open pdf” level of left behind. Doubly so if you own the place. Fibre optic cable to the weeb shelter, dig a trench and commit.

If I'm running off a 4g modem that does wifi can I connect a unifi to it and get better wifi throughout the apartment I'm in? It's an older brick joint so the walls are all solid brick and it struggles to get signal unless it's hard up against the road facing windows, but then that limits the wifi signal to the living room. I want essentially a network bridge somewhere near the centre of the house in the hallway that beams wifi signal into the other rooms at an acceptable quality level (i.e. getting 30-40 megabit internet connection as it should be)

If the 4G unit has an Ethernet port yes no problem to get a wireless bridge. If not you should look at repeaters or routers that can be a wifi router and access point at the same time.

I know I post a lot about digging holes itt but I really wish people would stop suggesting I dig a long rear end trench. Not only do I have to run past my septic piping but trenches are the singularly least satisfying form of hole to dig. No trench. This is both an ideological and a practical stance, you can’t change my mind.

Don’t loving say it’s like digging an infinite number of holes, I know it’s mathematically true but no one who has dug both would ever say that with a straight face
