My guess is they're referencing that you can get paid support from a couple of the places that offer their JDK for free. Which is one way places like Adopt OpenJDK can do things like offer backported security fixes to old JDK versions.

MonkeyFit posted:Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the point of a mesh network the seamless handoff between APs? I think mesh really refers to how the nodes communicate, which is typically by using wireless between the nodes so that you can relay them together. It almost feels like a semantic issue when nodes within the mesh can use wired backhaul, since that strikes me more like an access point.

SnatchRabbit posted:Just wanted to confirm something with folks here: I just had Verizon fios installed at my new house. The tech ran the router and cable box to the main living room downstairs where previous owner had cable. The entire house has coax jacks in every room it seems. Tech also put a second tv box In The master br upstairs using the existing coax jack. I asked about running an extender and the tech recommended a Verizon network extender https://www.verizon.com/home/accessories/fios-network-extender/ I see MoCA listed as one of it's features so it's probably a safe bet. I'm not sure how it would work if you changed ISPs though.

MeKeV posted:I've tried a few different channels and switched band steering around a bit, but I can't get my Firestick 4K to connect to the 5ghz on my UAP-AC. It just sticks to 2.4ghz Probably has more to do with signal strength. Some devices, especially the streaming sticks in my experience, will just not listen to any band steering type stuff, and just use whatever band has a stronger signal.

It's a little more costly than that but you could run your own wireguard node. Digital Ocean's basic droplet is $5 a month.

Soysaucebeast posted:Ok y'all I have a quick question. I have a dual band router in my bedroom, and my devices in my living room seem to be just at the edge of the 5hz band's range. Normally that wouldn't be a problem, I'd just force the devices onto the 2.4Ghz band and we're good to go. But I just got a PS5 and there doesn't seem to be an option to force it to the 2.4Ghz band, so it's connecting to the 5Ghz band, having the connection cut out, and then just not re-connecting until I reboot the console. I'm going to double check my router when I get home to see if I can force it to the 5Ghz band, but in case that's not an option I was thinking about either getting a wifi extender or an outlet ethernet adapter. The only thing is, I'm not sure what's the best option between the two. I can't just run an ethernet cable from the router to the console unfortunately, otherwise I'd just do that. Wifi extenders are pretty poopy. I think your best non-ethernet options are: 1. Mesh Wifi system 2. MoCA 3. Powerline I usually stick powerline last because my experience with it, while it does work, if you need to jump over breakers the speed will be extremely slow. Since the router is in the bedroom it's likely that this will be a big issue for you.

There's probably an advantage to using something that isn't Windows Defender and that's since most windows users are using windows defender, it becomes a main focus of exploit or the lowest hurdle to clear.

I think you could also have the other devices connect to the wireguard host with their own client IPs, so then they would be directly accessible.

Got a Flex mini for my entertainment center and a Switch Lite PoE today. Removed the two power injectors for a couple APs and an older netgear 5 port dumb switch. I gotta say the network seems noticeably quicker over WiFi and I'm wondering if my netgear was showing its age or of the power injectors were introducing some latency.

I think comcast and other satellite boxes, like TiVo, also use MoCA to communicate back to the primary box. I am not too sure whether other devices that support MoCA on the same network would cause a problem but since you seem to have good speed it's probably not an issue. One thing you probably want to do since I didn't see you mention it is grab a MoCA filter for the coax line coming in to your home. This will keep your MoCA network from leaking out/being exposed.

It's not a true bridge mode. That's good to know, I figured it was a real passthrough butt I should've known better. I've been using it this way for a year or so now without issues so I'm sure you'll be ok.

Toxic Fart Syndrome posted:I've recently upgraded my internet and want to add wifi to my main PC. I've done this with a little USB dongle as a stop gap, but I would like to get a better one or (ideally?) a PCIe card that is capable of using the entire available bandwidth (the cheap dongle from Meijer only does ~50Mbps). I think you'll want something similar to the 2nd link there, where it has an antenna you can relocate. I can't speak to the quality or brands though.

H110Hawk posted:Wireguard to where? The other endpoint is where you are shifting that risk. This is the part the above user is alluding to. You have to trust "nordvpn" to not do whatever you distrust the network you're running it on to do. I run a droplet on Digital Ocean for it. But pretty much all the things you listed above besides torrents. There's some small mobile data cap improvement that, at least in my head, would come along with using a blackhole hosts file as well so I'm not pulling down ads.

skipdogg posted:Something else many people fail to consider is that WiFi device has to be able to get a signal back to the WAP. You can have a super strong wifi signal being broadcast to the device, but if the device isn't strong enough to get a signal back, performance is not going to be good either. Ohhh this is a great additional comment. I'm usually using something like Wi-Fi analyzer to look at signal levels but that's not going to measure the power of my phone/mac/whatever else.

I can ping my phone's in-network IP address (i.e. 192.168.whatever), but I can't connect to my Google devices. What would cause this? I dunno anything about algo but in your wireguard config you can specify IPs or IP ranges to not tunnel. Or you could just turn off your wireguard tunnel while at home.

My experience with power line is that unless you're staying on the same circuit your speed is crippled. Even more so if you have certain types of breakers. I dunno much about electrical but bedrooms here tend to have a type of breaker that renders them nearly unusable. Edit: going from breaker 18 and 16 are different circuits. The power is traveling from one circuit, through it's breaker to breaker 18, the over to whatever outlet you have.

George RR Fartin posted:Is there any way to direct all traffic intended for a particular site/IP to another site (or blank page) via the router? I know you can individually edit a hosts file, and I suspect you could set up a piehole to do this, but I have a friend who has a family member who is otherwise helpful but very...poisoned by right wing media, and he would find it easier to have her in his house helping with the family if she wasn't constantly distracted by and repeating horrific conspiracy theory bullshit. I was hoping he could just redirect anyone on his wireless (since she's just gonna be using her phone) who tries to go to Daily Caller or Fox News or whatever to a blank page or google or a self help group or whatever. The easiest is probably to set up NextDNS, then add whatever site blocks to it. PiHole is cool too but probably more work if you don't already have a Pi or VM setup.

LODGE NORTH posted:This was part of my thinking, but I was mostly aiming for the least amount of cables and new devices as possible if possible. If I added another switch, I'd have to power it which would take up space on my already super exhausted surge protector. If it's not a thing, that's cool too, just wanted to see what was possible for this setup. If you're looking for something small the Unifi Flex Mini can be powered by PoE and is smaller than a deck of cards. It's probably my favorite Unifi device.
