It seems that qnap is going to sell a AX200 half size PCIe card, part code is QXP-W6-AX200, i've found it in the latest QTS firmware update. So if you don't want to try random aliexpress stores, you might have a easier to get option in a few weeks. Price unknown.

incoherent posted:Currently using the TPLink on some really gnarly late 60s apt wiring and while i'm not getting the 1gb suggested speeds I am getting consistent 150/150mbit which is good enough 99% of my use case. I highly doubt i'm going to get anything close to my fios speeds from content providers such as ps4 (lol) or netflix. Err powerline is super sensitive on wiring quality so you could run any brand you like but it's going to be poo poo if the wiring isn't up to spec. It's never going to be exactly as fast as promised even with perfect wiring but i've found tplinks av1200 to be decent, never tested faster av2000 units.

IndianaZoidberg posted:The problem is when I lunch qBittorrent, core 1 on the CPU in the router/modem goes right up to 100% (https://imgur.com/GxfMoKi) and my internet connection becomes extremely sluggish. It’s very slow. If I try playing a youtube video, automatically play at 240p or 480p, but when I run a speed test, it will show I’m getting very similar results to what I would expect, but it would also take a long time to just load the speed test (sometimes over a minute when it would take only a second before). And I don’t believe this is because it’s saturating my internet connection because qBittorrent is only showing (in this case) 18Kib/s down and 373Kib/s up. Truth is I can pause all transfers and it will act like this until I close the program. (https://imgur.com/3ek0ox9) qbittorrent is using too many connections, lower that number.

IndianaZoidberg posted:Still don't know why this was never an issue with my old setup. The asus router is likely doing routing using software while the older setup had some hardware assist. Most consumer routers rely on CPU bruteforce to do their work and lots of connections will overload them.

IndianaZoidberg posted:The firmware isn't something I can update on my own. There's no option to manually check for an update or flash it after its been downloaded from the manufacture. Not even mentioned in the manual. I'm guessing its because its a Comcast approved modem and they REALLY don't want to loving around with it. https://www.asus.com/Microsite/2015/networks/routerfirmware_update/ Firmware upgrade is started from the router GUI, asus doesn't keep files on their site anymore.

Charles posted:Can you still use RTSP to Blue Iris if you don't want to run a cloud key, etc? Sure but AFAIK configuration and management still require a video or protect instance so you would be running blind until you got one up. Video and protect are the same core code so you only get a slightly different gui/mobile app out of a cloudkey/udm/unvr migration, the core issues are still there and, given their current code quality issues, unlikely to be solved anytime soon.

Charles posted:I think they've been saying they'd end any updates to Video for a long time though, haven't they? That was just user-side speculation, there was no official hints of sunsetting unifi-video until now(after all the core code is shared between the two, it's just the gui/apps part that is custom for protect). The first hint of this was when the UAS (the supermicro rebrand designed to run unifi video for bigger customers) was denied protect on rather weird basis(everybody guessed that it was to deny a x86 deb to users not running on unifi hardware).

Forgot off the top of my head (and what industry that SOC was originally intended for). Dedicated RGMII path, USB3 comes from pcie. The original SoC was for phones(which is why it had only one usb port).

Most motherboards that are not rock bottom quality will give you at least one intel or aquantia nowadays, just realteks(esp nbase-t) are rare.

Guitarchitect posted:Oh man. I bought a Unifi Dream Machine (UDM) and it has been nothing but trouble! Constantly drops the ports on the back (wifi works fine but the internet goes down and any wired devices get dropped). Multiple times per day when it's not working well, although I've had multi-day stretches without problems. But now it can't seem to go more than two days without making GBS threads itself. I'll start with the usual "did you try talking with unifi support?", I know they are shite but the integrated switch crapping out like you said is not normal, also did you try using a switch(like a us8-60w or a usw-8lite) in place of the one integrated in the router? I'm not a big fan of using any router switch ports.

Guitarchitect posted:yep, have a thread going and a separate ticket going. UDM has a realtek switch inbetween the four lan ports and the processor, that's why the wifi still works, i would try to remove one switch port wire at a time when it "craps" out to try to isolate if it's a specific device or the whole switchchip is faulty.

Buff Hardback posted:They're saying leave one LAN device connected, when it dies move it to the next port and so on and on to see if it's just one port or all ports. ^ This (also do it with different devices too to see if it's a switch or device issue) I apologize if i used cryptic language. If you are in the return period, I would still send it over, there is no documented issue with the udm switch going haywire in any recent firmware.

I know Ubiquiti is kind of the go to and that's what we have here at work, but what setup do folks use at home? Ubiquiti dpi/historical data is kind of a mess. Having a USG myself, I would suggest anything but a unifi router for that purpose.

sellouts posted:Likely way above what the OP is talking about but maybe you'd find this useful? The main problem is that the dpi categories are all messed up so a lot of stuff will end up in letsencrypt or generic https, also there is a different dpi category for each bittorrrent or emule variant rather than going by protocol. Having to set up a ELK stack to compensate for shite definitions is not the best IMHO.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:Since I already have a mesh-enabled extender, should I just buy a TP-Link OneMesh router and replace my second extender, or are one of those mesh kits (Google, whatever the Amazon one is called, etc) decent? Google mesh supports wired backhaul so, if you can, you could use your wiring to improve performance to those nodes while using wireless backhaul for areas without wiring.

Oysters Autobio posted:So how would this look with a switch? Use the ethernet that's already going into the second bedroom (currently only plugged into the PC) and plug it into a switch, and then run two ethernet from the switch to the laptop and PC? Can I have two ethernet going out of the router, one into the switch (which then goes to the PC and laptop), and one ethernet going from the router into my TV? Correct, it would work perfectly fine. Just remember to make sure the switch is GIGABIT to avoid slowdowns.

Technically correct, just keep in mind that the farther you go in the chain, the less bandwidth you have, so try to keep the less used/populated areas in the tail end of that daisy chain

Hello, I'd like some hints from people with knowledge in running low specs pc as opnsense. I'm currently assessing moving from my current 1000/100 ftth line to 10000/2000 but the isp provided modem for that offering is absolute poo poo (sagemcom f@st 5688). Other common models of sfp+ or 10gbase routers sold in my area like udm pros or qnaps have a bad rep on running faster than 2.5g. What is lowest i can go in processing power to manage 10g routing, an handful of firewall rules and port forwarding along 150mbps+ of wireguard? I would need two 10g ports, one terminated in copper (ISP ONT) and one in optical (switch uplink), so it would need at least four if not eight pcie lanes. Any experiences?

Decommissioned the last Unifi item of the house (an handful of gen3 AC units) and replaced them with a single Zyxel NWA130BE. Everything is now stable without roaming hiccups, even if speeds are sacrificed a bit in the most remote corners of the house (going at 250mbps on a 2x2 AC device). Still good given that if I ran a single gen 3 AP in the same point, clients would flat out drop out of 5ghz in the remote areas. 2x2 AC clients are now flying at full speed (500+) instead of puttering at 400mbps on the old Unifi kit, which always made me kinda angry given that I've never saw speeds close to the a reasonable AC baseline regardless of the 4x4 MIMO radio on the access points. 2x2 AX clients are going at 700+ so super happy about the upgrade and I'm now ready for 6ghz and BE clients too. I am waiting for a XMG105HP to be ran as a ghetto 10g to four 2.5g fan out to provide full speed uplink to the AP, it was cheaper to buy than a 2.5g AT injector plus copper SFP+ combo surprisingly. Nebula management is nice (albeit with a far shittier mobile app than Unifi) but it can get expensive once you start adding devices under the paid plans. 20€/year for each device to add weekly data retention, email warnings, topology (but, given how badly it worked with Unifi, I honestly have stopped caring for knowing where the devices are connected) and other ancillaries. Free service with 24h retention is more than adequate for home usage. I dropped out of the 10g wan service idea, too much kit to buy and unknowns. If I upgrade, I will go for 2.5g service so I will just buy a double 2.5g NIC equipped NUC and call it a day. SlowBloke fucked around with this message at 09:54 on May 5, 2024 |
