You would install a surface mount box of some sort over the top of the current single/double gang opening, then attach the raceway to it. I am most familiar with Panduit’s latching duct , the other option is to use end fittings instead of the surface mount box , but , that’s best when the cable can flow into it , not bend 90 degrees. Gotta give yourself the room to transition and not damage the cable. A patch panel mounted to the wall, and mounted hook and loop straps can tidy it up as well if you don’t need to hide it .

power crystals posted:Have you tried using that cable with the laptop to confirm the issue is the cable? If so, just getting a new cable seems easiest. You shouldn't have length issues unless you're near the 100m spec limit and unless you have comically large rooms or a much too long cable that seems unlikely (I guess you could also try setting your NIC to 100mbit only and see if that helps). It is possible you damaged the shielding somehow. I'll try troubleshooting again, don't remember if I did in fact run the laptop troubleshoot (I really need to think of a way to structurally note down troubleshooting and results, I suck at remembering this stuff) I think one reason going the cable coax route is laziness because it seems easier than having to remove the wall channels, pull the whole ethernet cable, and then reinstall a whole new line with wall channels again. The ethernet runs along the wall in the dining room and there's a shitton of plants and other small poo poo in the way that makes it a hassle to move aside. Definitely will check out the MoCa setup though. Any potential downsides I should be aware of?

I haven't used one of those things in years so my knowledge isn't very up to date. The last time I went to get one they couldn't get past 100mbit but it looks like that's been solved now. As I recall the other two big points to keep in mind are that A: splitters can screw with the signal (especially the newer faster ones, as some splitters will degrade or block higher frequencies) and B: if you're in a shared apartment block or whatever you'll want to enable encryption on the bridges so your moca "network" doesn't get shared with everybody else. Maybe new ones have that built in now. Otherwise though it should be pretty straightforward.

I've got a Tp-link Archer A8 and I recently purchased a TP-link AC1200 extender to use with OneMesh. But after setting it up, the "enable onemesh" button is grayed out in the AC1200 settings, saying that the router isn't compatible, when it's listed as such and is updated to the latest firmware (as is the extendo). Anything I could try? e: turns out I had to update the router firmware sequentially a few times. Surprisingly hitting "upgrade firmware" doesn't upgrade to the most recent stable version, only the next iteration. Head Bee Guy fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Dec 8, 2022 |

Anyone got a good reference video/article for differences between IPv4 and IPv6? I understand the "consumer" high level but my ISP recently started handing out prefixes and I'm trying to setup my local network (pfsense) and figuring out I dont understand IPv6 at all (what happened to ARP?!). Like when would I SLAAC or why would I want direct DHCP6 assignments and the nuances of RAs etc., I can find specific information easily but im struggling to find a detailed overview to tie it all together

Could I get a recommendation for a good 2.5 or 10GbE card that doesn't use an Intel NIC? I have one of the new Fios ONTs and there's some dumbass IPv6 incompatibility. I was able to get it to play ball on my old machine with an Intel NIC by disabling it, but my brand new motherboard has the same issue (and I didn't check the onboard NIC) and disabling checksum offloading didn't help.

I installed a RTL8125B-based 2.5G card in my Windows 10 desktop about a week back and it's been fine so far. I don't have a lot of ways to really test its limits, but iperf to my NAS gives 2.25Gbps so that seems fine. I didn't actually pick the brand ("NICGIGA") since I got it free in exchange for a review, but there are clearly a lot of OEMs making cards based on this chip and they seem mostly equivalent from what I can tell. I had previously tried an Asus AQC107-based 10GbE card but for some reason my motherboard, the X470 Taichi, really didn't like it and the system would bluescreen after a few seconds of any kind of substantial bandwidth usage. Extra strange since the X470 Taichi Ultimate has 10GbE built in based on the same chipset. Eletriarnation fucked around with this message at 22:16 on Dec 9, 2022 |

What’s a good WDS router that has wi-fi 6 that’s fairly inexpensive? (At least under $100). I want to connect my second router to my computer (so I can stream to my Oculus quest) and then have it connected wirelessly to the main router, hence the need for WDS. I bought a Archer AX21 but just realized it doesn’t have WDS so it’s now useless.

Rolled back the firmware on my UniFi AC-LR and it's still flakey as hell, not lasting more than a day up before taking a 12-18 hour nap. Is this thing straight up dying or is there anything else I could be trying? For reference this AP has been solid solid for years when it was connected to a TP-Link AC1750 but now that it's hooked up to a UDM pro it sucks. It just randomly goes up and down and no intervention from me changes it.

Yeah, I had an original UAP-LR where the injector started dying and basically causing constant brownouts. It would come up just enough to be clearly somewhat functional, but had constant issues. I got to the point of taking it apart and being about to throw it away when I saw gibberish on the serial console pins before I thought "hey, maybe I should try a different injector?" As soon as I did, all the issues went away. I ended up reflashing it to OpenWRT since the 802.11n models are no longer supported by Ubiquiti.

I'm getting tired of dealing with Unifi's foibles, and Mikrotik's availability is pretty patchy, so I'm looking for recommendations for a network upgrade. I'd like a pair of switches: one with 24 1Gb ports and at least 4 10Gb SFPs, and the second with at least 12 10Gb SFPs. The 1Gb switch needs layer 3 inter-VLAN routing, the 10Gb switch doesn't. It would be great if I could get a pair from the same manufacturer with the same or similar software, so I'm not having to learn two new interfaces. Noise and power are factors since this is a homelab rack in my office. My first choice was a CRS328-24P-4S+RM for 1Gb and a CRS317-1G-16S+RM for 10Gb, but the 328 seems to be deeply backordered everywhere I've looked. I'd appreciate recommendations for a second choice. I'm 100% ok with used enterprise gear, as long as it's reasonably quiet (~45dBa or less).

PoE isn't a requirement, I'm only ever going to have the one AP here and I can run an injector for it. Those switches look nice, but it doesn't look like the TL-SG3428X supports layer 3 routing, which is a hard requirement. I'll be using an Opnsense firewall as my router, and that won't integrate with Omada, so I need to do all of my layer 3 routing on the switch itself.

Basically Omada isn't going to know that the opnsense box exists, so it won't take it into account when it tries to build routes or however it works under the hood. Even if I was ok with intra-VLAN routing happening on the firewall, I don't think Omada would handle that. I'd still have to write static routes manually, which kind of defeats the purpose of Omada.

Trying to imagine the requirements that drive that in a home. Pretty normal to do your ACLs on a stateful firewall. There's no requirement for an L2 switch to build routes at all.

I've seen some switches described as "L2+" that would only route between switches on the same VLAN, so any access control or anything had to be implemented on the router. I have the pre-Omada version of that 24 port switch which is also "L2+" and it is possible to create layer 3 VLAN interfaces (SVI in Cisco terms) and route between them for both IPv4 and v6. The only thing that keeps it from being called a full L3 switch is the lack of dynamic routing protocols. I went the other direction and set up my inter-VLAN routing (as well as Internet) on a software firewall on my hypervisor over a dedicated 10g port. My NAS (also a VM) is multihomed on the VLANs that need to access it to avoid needing to route that traffic through the firewall. Stateless ACLs on the switch weren't sufficient for the policy I wanted to configure. Another option worth considering is to go with the CRS326-24G-2S+ instead of the CRS328-24P-4S+ since you don't need PoE and it's more readily available. Two SFP+ ports trunked to the CRS317 is enough bandwidth that you're probably not going to notice the 4gbps oversubscription unless you're driving all 24 ports at full utilization.

hi no idea if this is the right thread i just did a port forward for port 51413 TCP on my xfinity router as that's the port transmission uses. I verified that port is open using the canyouseeme site. I then set the port to 51413 in transmission and unchecked randomize port. it says port is open, and i seem to be seeding, though nothing is actually being uploaded to anyone yet. but at least i'm not getting the port is blocked message. is this correct? for some reason in transmission settings it still says "port check site is down" instead of "port is open" sometimes https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/3102 I'm not a networking person at all, but what is described here seems to be my issue. I can also connect to that port check site over IPv4 but not IPv6 (my router does both) edit: added 87.98.162.88 portcheck.transmissionbt.com to etc/hosts, i am getting a bit of seeding but not much. still says port check site is down actionjackson fucked around with this message at 07:52 on Dec 15, 2022 |

Vague sort of general question about how telecomms infrastructure, specifically data, typically works in the US: at what point do the actual data lines typically go from private to public ownership? Does that happen at all, or is it usually privately-owned all the way back to the ISP's interconnect? The reason I ask is that I'm just trying to gauge the prognosis in the future for better connectivity where I live. I'm not far from a major interstate, and as I understand it, there's been fiber creeping out along said interstate, but I have no clue if that's shared by multiple groups, or if it just belongs to one company, or what. And then, a couple years ago, all new fiber was buried along about 2 miles of gravel road, terminating in a pedestal about 1000' from my house. As far as I can tell, that new line was put in place by centurylink's efforts, and they'll only sell DSL on it? Is that even a plausibly accurate understanding of what may be in place? It seems a little odd, since by running those two miles, they managed to serve all of a dozen houses with 40Mbit (they don't advertise the option but were willing to give me pair bonded 40s so I'm around 80-ish, which is phenomenally better than the 1.5Mbit max that was available prior.) So I guess I'm wondering if all that new fiber (that's what I'm told it is, anyhow) was funded by some other mechanism and isn't entirely owned by CL, in which case, is there a possibility some other ISP could come in and compete on the same line? I have no freakin' clue how this works once it leaves my house. I just really really really want to find a way to get a gig line. I'd pay myself to have the last thousand feet buried to my house if that's what it took. Sigh.

Does that happen at all, or is it usually privately-owned all the way back to the ISP's interconnect? It's all private. There's a couple of communities where the local government has put down communal fiber that can be used by local ISPs/telcos, but if you were in one of those, you wouldn't have posted this. Edit to be more helpful: The government gave CL a truckload of cash to install internet of a minimum rate in their region 'for the people'. The government doesn't get any ownership of the infrastructure, and also note it doesn't say fiber must be used. DSL is used for the last mile because the copper wires are already pre-existing and terminate at that pedestal and CL didn't want to pay for more cables and installation to bring it to your house. In your case, there's probably not much fiber installed to the pedestal, maybe 6 strands (of which they'll use 2-3) that go back to the CO. The reason the telco won't use your own personal fiber (or anything) installation is that they don't want to be responsible for any part of it. Anyways, the way to find out how much it'll cost to install fiber to your house is call up the business side of CL and request a fiber quote. The monthly will be high, but they should also give you an installation quote with the onetime fees to officially bring fiber in. unknown fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Dec 15, 2022 |

I know some cable providers will happily drop cable in the ground if you pay for the excavation, back in the day I was on a handful of jobs where neighbors and such would split the cost of us trenching/knifing in cable so they could get non garbage tier internet. Comcast never had a problem sending a tech out to hook it up and drop cable in the ground. But depending on distance that can get pretty expensive especially if there are a number of utilities/roads to cross.

In this case it’s rural gravel, the 1000’ from my house to the pedestal is next to a corn field, there are no gas lines, just water, and starting about halfway there the electrical service goes underground. One driveway to cross. It’s about the easiest burial one could hope for. I need to look up the number for the actual local office, those guys always seem willing to discuss actual solutions when I’ve talked to them in the past.

What you're talking about is often incredibly difficult and fraught with danger. Getting an ISP to run cabling, turn up new service, or work with third parties who will do the cabling can be an absolute nightmare. Like, it's so bad that some of these people just decided to start their own ISP because it was easier. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/06/couple-bought-home-in-seattle-then-learned-comcast-internet-would-cost-27000/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/04/comcast-wanted-man-to-pay-19000-even-though-his-neighbor-already-had-service/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/10/comcast-wanted-210000-for-internet-so-this-man-helped-expand-a-co-op-fiber-isp/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/08/man-who-built-isp-instead-of-paying-comcast-50k-expands-to-hundreds-of-homes/
