Nobody should hate themselves enough to try and terminate shielded cable (Cat 6A), Cat 6 is more than good enough for 10Gb over the distances involved at home.

M_Gargantua posted:For anything longer than a few feet using copper for more than 2.5G is inefficient, and using it for more than 10G is wasteful. For anything local, DAC is the answer. For anything else Cat6a is a good and useful standard cable. Run Cat6a when you're doing new installation. Decision point #1: You don't need 10G, stop it. Decision point #2 (if you ignored #1): Just run fiber.

Well yeah, thats why I ran OM3 along side 6a. Because I hate money, and love big number.Thanks Ants posted:Nobody should hate themselves enough to try and terminate shielded cable (Cat 6A), Cat 6 is more than good enough for 10Gb over the distances involved at home. I never found them that hard to terminate. But its also easy to run it and just trim the shield and just not use it. Much easier to re-terminate using the shield in the future rather than pull a new cable.

Ubiquiti just released a UXG Max with 4 2.5gb lan ports and 1 2.5gb wan port. Pretty much exactly the product I wanted as I already have a cloud key, and only have 2 2.5gb computers and sub-gigabit Internet service. https://techspecs.ui.com/unifi/cloud-keys-gateways/uxg-max?mc_cid=761b665d3e&mc_eid=34dd846cce

Shugojin posted:https://store.ui.com/us/en/pro/category/all-cloud-keys-gateways/products/uxg-max I'm a bit of a novice with some networking stuff, but am I correct in that the IPS/IDS limit is only for WAN traffic? Will the LAN ports be able to transfer at the full 2.5Gbps? It's not a deal breaker for me either way, but an absolute non-factor if it only affects the WAN.

It's probably a 5-port 2.5Gbps switch with a 10Gbps uplink to the SOC or whatever, I don't think Ubiquiti publish block diagrams. So yes, you'd get the full 2.5Gbps between devices on the LAN that were in the same subnet.

I am pretty stupid so the common wisdom "buy preterminated fiber" I ignored. Bought an fusion splicer+cleaver and A MILE of (12f single mode OS2 armored direct burial) cable today. Pretty excited.  My project is ~3262 feet across between 4 fiber cable assemblies. Buying preterm would be ~$5,067. $1.55/ft Self terminating cost is ~$3,656k. $1.12/ft. With the spare ~1800 feet I want to expand dropping it to $0.73 a foot. What do people do for 1u rack mount termination? I need something that supports terminating 2 cables (so 24f) in a 1u or 2u. Needs to support the splice itself and the cable coming in. I am currently thinking this thing on ebay? What about field termination in a box? Not sure what to have for an outdoor enclosure. Would be nice if it were DIN mount. I am going to run 12/2UF-B and put 48VDC over it (being weary of voltage drop). Run some POE stuff, cameras, sip ip phones on the other end, probably 10g transceivers cause I can.

Outdoor fiber termination boxes aren't normally din mounts, they're expected to be mounted on walls/poles/etc. Look like this usually : https://phantomcables.com/products/indoor-outdoor-24-port-plastic-fiber-terminal-box-white There's lots of rackmount fiber mounts like you linked (see at that site above too).

Subjunctive posted:“life easier in the future”: run conduit if you can, and a run of pulling line alongside the cable if you can’t, so you can more easily get updated/additional cable along there later Thanks, this is a great idea. I'll put some thought into whether it makes sense within the existing floor plan. Unfortunately the outward facing walls are a bitch to drill through, there's probably an air gap somewhere in all that concrete and brick but I have yet to find it. Eletriarnation posted:Cat6 is fine out to 55m for 10G, so unless you have a huge house you don't really need to spring for 6A. It might not be a substantial cost increase in your case, but when I got 10 drops put in my house (e: in 2017) it was going to be either ~$900 for Cat6 or 1500 for 6A. It was unclear if 6A would ever have any benefit, so I stuck with 6. Thanks for this! Whatever I do will be within that length anyways.

Need some Unifi AP tech support please. I have the Unifi controller on my main PC and I'm going to reformat it soon so I remembered that I think that requires me to backup the configs for my two APs. When I launch the controller (probably an old version, 6.0.28) and click "Launch a Browser to Manage the Network" the browser opens https://localhost:8443/manage which fails. Maybe I need the IP of one of the APs in there instead of localhost? I see those IPs listed in my device list on my router, but they don't work. They aren't static AFAIK. I've accessed this before and don't think I had to anything, but it's been awhile. The last time I think I might have had to deal with some Java issue that wasn't letting it work for a different reason though. Any advice? edit: I got it. It was just old as poo poo software. Updated to what is now called the Network Application. KingKapalone fucked around with this message at 22:24 on Apr 5, 2024 |

Just make sure you backup "The Controller", not the APs like you were describing. The AP's don't care. What matters is you make a backup of your current controller so that it saves all the security key material so any unifi device on your network will recognize the new controller as the correct one.

Literally takes 15 minutes from first power on to up and running, super easy to use GUI and straight forward. Though I use it mainly for m365 backups and as an NVR. Also has a remote connect feature but I assume you’ll be setting them up with VPN access to the network.

Just need to get the firewall and VPN configuration correct. That’s probably the number one DIY sticking point because there is a gulf to either side of the road - on one side it doesn’t work, on the other it’s practically public. Cloud services thrive selling you mediocrity for cash because they at least just centralize a few IT guys to keep the service running and secure.

Tail scale is built on top of WireGuard right? I just set up WireGuard on an azure Ubuntu vm with a public IP and using this shell script (at https://www.pivpn.io) it literally took a couple of minutes to get my phone (on my home WiFi) set up to surf thru the azure infra. Realized it didn’t have pihole ad blocking and so I ran the script at pi-hole.net and it set that up. It literally took 10 minutes. Pivpn add Pivpn -qr Bing bang boom All that said, I am having an issue maybe the thread can help me figure out. For some reason my iPhone WireGuard works great on my home WiFi but fails miserably on AT&T cellular (in Texas). Im using the same client profile, default listen port. Endpoint and port to the azure vm is the same. I’ve even tried changing the listen port to a lower port number from 52182(?) or whatever to something below 10000. Client says it’s connected but Logs show that it can’t handshake correctly and I see no packets received from any that my phone sends. It’s really weird… I hope it doesn’t have to do with routing because I suck at that.

Tailscale is basically a fancy control plane for Wireguard, meaning that you have a fully meshed network instead of hopping through a central server, as well as a pile of management and observability tools. You can share just a single service with someone else, or use Tailscale to ssh into a node based on your Tailscale-auth credentials, or configure subnet relays. posted while wearing my Tailscale hoodie, but I have no financial interest in it

Att mobile blocks port 22 for me. Switching to 443 on a VPN or whatever solves it. It's turbo dumb. They appear to be doing carrier nat on ip6 as well based on the what is my ip6 sites.

Thanks all for the replies... I tried switching my listen port to 443 and it still doesn't work. do I need to create a new client profile on my cloud server (and then qr-code it to the phone) when I update that setting? I wouldn't think so but thought I'd ask. I'd think as long as the endpoint address and port stays the same it would be fine. I had thought maybe IPv6 could be part of the problem as well... cloud doesn't do any IPv6, and if I go to whatsmyip.org on my phone with wifi off, it'll show me a regular IPv4 ip: 107.33.x.x It IS the weirdest thing and I'm sad it doesn't work. Any other things I can try, please do share.

CGNAT issues ("carrier grade NAT") most likely. Assume that you don't have any inbound open ports that you can use.

Does ATT give you an IPv4 address on your phone or does it do NAT64 which relies on the IPv4 endpoint being resolved in DNS and not by IP?

Thanks. Just saw this. I made a backup by launching the Controller in my browser. Then Settings -> System -> Backups and downloaded one. When I reformat the PC do I just download the now known as Network Application, run that, login with my current name/pw, and go to Restore? My PC is on ethernet so I'm assuming that potentially removes any issues given the fact that the only Unifi stuff are the APs. I don't entirely understand what restoring the config is actually doing since the APs run fine when my PC is off. Can't imagine I lose Wifi on other devices when I do this reformat.

The controller has all the preshared keys to update configurations. The controller doesn’t do any routing or WiFi, it is just a network monitor and controller. But if you don’t restore the backup the APs will see the new controller, and it will see them, but they won’t talk because the APs are looking for “their” controller, and won’t just start letting some random piece of network software give them orders.

If you're just doing basic stuff you could also just use he Unifi mobile app and ditch the controller. As long as your network name, password, and (I think) encryption method is the same your devices should reconnect. Then you don't have to worry about this problem. https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/12594679474071-Standalone-Access-Points-without-UniFi

Just put in my TP-link Omada system. I upgraded from the tp-link deco wifi 6e mesh system (which was dropping phone calls if I moved around the house). I have the 1g router and 2 eap670 aps. I love it and the amount of control i have over my home network now. No more dropped calls and good coverage over both floors of the house. I am also getting a ds224+ synology nas. I'm wondering if I should just wait for the ds923+ to go on sale.
