Feels like a huge vulnerability for HP to allow staff to run foreign executables even if you didn't have to run the setup.exe on it. I manually unpacked Diablo 2 at one of my first hospital jobs onto my partition of the shared network drive because I would be there all night without a call sometimes.

I have a truenas machine I haven't used in months. I turned it on today, and from my windows pc I'm able to do `ssh user@truenas`, and it resolves to `truenas.local` and logs in. But if I do `nslookup truenas` or `nslookup truenas.local` I get this:code:E: oh and the web UI is accessible at truenas/ also.

Is it resolving with mDNS instead? nslookup uses DNS but multicast DNS lets you look up something on the local network even in the absence of a DNS server on the local network.

Kind of a cross-over into home automation / IYG territory, but I've been planning for awhile to add OTA to my coax / MoCA network, so I can feed my HD HomeRun + any TVs I have can at least have OTA stuff. Finally got the antenna today (https://winegard.com/flatwave-amped-pro/) and... attaching it to my MoCA amp/splitter (https://www.ppc-online.com/product-search/amp-splitter-ppc-9m-u-u) knocks out my MoCA network entirely, if I have the antenna amp powered. Un-powering it, everything seems to be fine, though my HD HomeRun still doesn't seem to get all the channels it should... but as far as I can tell, the OTA and MoCA network is co-existing. I don't have any CATV coming in -- my cable coming in just goes straight to my modem, so no issue there. OTA frequencies should be all well below 1 GHz (~800 MHz for UHF), and AFAIK, Actiontec devices use Band D for MoCA, which should be north of 1 GHz. Maybe the amplified antenna signal is just swamping the front-end of the amplifier + the front-end of the HD HomeRun? If I run the amplified antenna output right into the HD HomeRun, it also reports no channels found... so I think the output of that antenna seems only suited to feed right into a TV's receiver. It's probably just two amps in a row crushing the incoming data / symbols into an unreadable, distorted mess, I guess. Maybe I need to shop for a passive model...

Yeah, I wouldn't trust any antenna amplifier not to poo poo out garbage on frequencies it's not supposed to. Depending on where you are, I'd go with an unamplified directional antenna, assuming most of the transmitters you want to pick up are in one general direction. https://www.antennaweb.org is a good tool for figuring out where your local transmitters are.

Do you need to use the same coax for data as you do for OTA? Easiest would be to segregate the two segments, I have a separate coax bundle and splitter specifically for OTA vs the dedicated feed for the modem, but I could split it down further if needed. Otherwise I'd try it without the amp. I'm about 30-40 miles from our broadcast towers, and don't need an amplifier. I've got a directional antenna in the attic aimed basically to the middle of the three main tower sites, and don't have any issues with reception except during really terrible storms. What HD Home run are you using, btw? I've got to add one eventually, because most of our TVs are networked anyway, and it'd be nice to have a centralized DVR they could stream from.

I’m in the middle of Seattle (literally 1.2 miles from most of the transmitters), so I don’t need much. I’d really like to reliably get KCPQ (Fox) for football in the fall, but for whatever reason, my HDHomeRun seems to occasionally only get the ATSC 3.0 low bitrate HEVC stream and misses the usual 8VSB signal. We barely watch live TV; this is mostly for the simple thing of being able to do something as seemingly simple as watch free, OTA TV on my computer while playing video games or something. And an excuse to tinker… Reading more about my device though, I’m pretty sure I was hilariously crushing the input signal to the HDHomeRun.

Yeah — on phone, so can’t draw, but basically I have Comcast in, router directly to my modem. Then, I have run all the existing coax drops in my house (fun fact: there are 3-4 I can’t tone out, so I sense some hidden splitters somewhere! And, I found a live jack that I could have used two years ago to deploy a WiFi AP…) to that 8-port MoCA compliant distro amp. That is the amp I want to feed with OTA, with the end result of every coax port in my house having OTA TV on it (under 800 MHz) and MoCA data connectivity (Band D), should I decide I need Ethernet somewhere I can’t run cable / want a backup to an Ethernet link. If I went back to cable TV, I’d just run the Comcast line directly to that amp, and hook my modem up to the passive -4.5 dB port. quote:Otherwise I'd try it without the amp.

Here’s my LV cabinet I finished a few weekends ago, to clean up random stuff shoved around:  I’ve since buttoned down most of the wiring / got rid of the old cables on the side that I had previously attached to the wall… now it’s all in the ENT coming in from the top.

Have you tried plugging your Comcast feed into your HD HomeRun? Around here they still feed the local broadcast stations in the clear that a TV tuner can pick up even if you don't pay for cable TV.

The selling point of “mesh systems” in the home networking market is using a wireless backhaul instead of cables, although some do support using wired anyways. It appears the older Google WiFi does, the newer Google Nest WiFi does not. Most people here don’t care for them as these systems tend to be locked down and heavily proprietary but if all you want is plug and play they’ll work (if they support your wired connection). I agree tp-link wireless routers aren’t very good as they’re the cheapest for a reason but there’s nothing wrong with their consumer managed switches. I prefer Unifi access points over omada but they are never available and the omada router (er-605) is fine but I’d personally go with a pfsense/opensense solution.

I tried the mesh thing with wired backhaul (the asus ones). the biggest downside was lack of ports on the AP itself. Most of my streaming devices are set up to use wired ethernet, so I went back to using routers re-purposed to APs. The per station cost is about the same if you buy the $100 router. However, I got eero's for my parents and in-laws. Best decision I ever made for them, thise things "just work" and make my life lots easier

I haven’t… I would just need to add a splitter, but I think I’m just going to mount an unamplified antenna properly on my roof and run it down.  This is what I ended with, the white coax is the unamped output from the Winegard antenna — it’s probably eating extra unnecessary loss from an unpowered PA. I’ll add another ENT tube to the top to run the roof antenna coax down. All so I can reliably watch the Lions crush my hopes and dreams this fall, again.

FWIW, my antenna is just mounted inside my attic and works great. So don't feel like you have to mount it outside, unless your roof is steel or something like that. This one: GE Pro Attic Mount TV Antenna https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MYMVPVX No amp, just a wire run direct down to the LV rack and into a splitter for the rest of the outlets.

I've finally got some more testing on the Dual WAN setup i've been working on. And as a networking idiot I figure someone here can either learn from or critique. As everything this network is advanced overkill for fun and education, in reality I could be fine with the original edgerouterX and single AP that I expanded this from. Actual relevant use case is I have a bunch of electronics dev boards plugged into and around the 24 port switch so I can test out FPGA/Arduino/RaspberryPi/etc builds without having to leave my desk. Next goal is to be able to do it remotely over VPN, and even have certain other friends also be able to remote into the electronics lab and load a build and then see the data logs pop off the oscilloscope. WAN 1 is lovely cable internet, coming in through an Arris T25 (Massively overkill for the speeds I am offered in my area), which then passes through the PoE adapter to my EdgerouterX on eth0. eth0 is setup as a standard DHCP WAN port, and switch0 is again a standard 192.168.1.1/24 covering eth1, eth2, and eth3 (But I have 'VLAN Aware' off and I don't know if I should turn it on) and DHCP server covering 192.168.1.0/24 1st VLAN is for my work laptop and on tag 10 and switch0.10 at 10.10.10.1/24 and its own DHCP server covering 10.10.10.0/24, and DNS forwarding onto switch0.10. For the firewall rules I originally tried just have a drop rule pair for anything between address-group NETv4_switch0 and address-group NETv4_switch0.10 and that just made my work VPN break. I need to learn more about firewall rules now. eth1 is currently the only connected downlink and goes to a USW-Pro-24. From there is a few other switches and APs, but we are concerned with the flex mini and AP in the attic. the flex mini and pro-24 both have one of their ports tagged with a VLAN tag 20 themselves through the Unifi GUI, in the attic I've not got the Starlink router bypass to that port, which then passes it seamlessly down and out of the 24 port. This then gets plugged into the ERX eth4 interface which is also set up as a DHCP WAN. load-balance is turned on between eth0 and eth4, but no route-test options setup. So far after about a week i've had great success with the actual function of it, and while starlink isn't great its a lot better than the cable internet I get here in the woods. Definitely need to figure out how to write good firewall rules though. As far as I can tell the ERX is only loading for traffic at the network edges right? Anything internal from my NAS seems to go through the switches and APs without touching the router? Or am I just not looking in the right places to see that.

Everything on the LAN (Local Area Network) side of the WAN (Wide Area Network) gateway has its own address, but on the whole they only have one IP that the WAN sees, and the gateway does the translation between them. To pass the modem to your google device like you described you should just be able to setup a simple static route and take the plug for the google mesh off of your other collection of switched interfaces, and then it won't be on a VLAN like you were having problems with.

Try searching for PoE extender switch. I get better results with that. No recommendations from me as I've never used any. I have a bunch of d-link 5 and 8 port gig dumb switches though and they work as advertised. This might be worth checking out https://www.dlink.com/en/products/dgs-1100-05pd-5-port-gigabit-poe-smart-managed-switch-and-poe-extender It looks like you'll be paying a decent premium to avoid using a wall wart though.

Here i was, all ready to jump into the Ubiquiti ecosystem so I can have a reliable network throughout my house/backyard office. All I wanted was an ethernet connection throughout so I could have wired desktop PCs and NAS, with most other devices connecting over wifi. The goal being, a single named wireless network (at the moment the random routers I use as access points have different names so your connection drops in and out as you walk through the house on a laptop) and being able to watch high bitrate Plex content on my two TVs via my NAS. I purchased a NanoHD for an access point in my house and have been waiting for the last month for the UDM I ordered to come in stock which I was going to put out in my office. The day of stock arrival comes and I check the website and the ETA is now mid-September. As it is with every other shop near me. Jesus Christ. Anyone have any suggestions for a router (and standalone modem if you feel I need to upgrade my TP Link TL-WR841N) that I can use as an alternative to the UDM? I really don't wanna put up with the random assortment of lovely hardware I have for the next 3 months.

I'd say find an UDM or an EdgerouterX from another vendor, but almost everyone is out of stock, or use your current router with the NanoHD and all unifi access points, you don't need everything to be unifi for it to work
