    R7800 vs ER-4

    Thanks for all the replies. I kind of figured when I purchased the ER-4 (about 5 months ago), that it would not make a *noticeable* difference on my network. Basically, here is my setup at home: 200/10 mbps internet (could go higher but, no need for it) Netgear CM600 Cable Modem ActionTek...

    R7800 vs ER-4

    Hey there, I hope I have not already asked this question. In my quest to do separates I opted to retire my R7800 in place of an EdgeRouter 4. I use an Orbi as an Access Point/Mesh, so the wifi on the R7800 would be turned off. I do have QoS turned on as well. The question is .. did I...

    DOCSIS 3.0/3.1 Cable Modems and MOCA

    Hey there, Recently I helped a family member with his new Google Nest Wifi (yes, he wanted easy and never touch). During this time we were talking about him having Coax already ran to the various rooms and possibly use MOCA for that. Awhile ago, Best Buy sold him a Arris SB8200 Cable Modem...

    Completed MoCA setup

    Sorry for the delay in getting back. I retested the MOCA connection. This time I let the laptop "relax" completely before stress testing it (moving large files across machines via the MOCA connection). This time when uploading I was seeing consistent 95 MB/s to 112 MB/s to the NAS. When...

    FTP Port Forward Question

    Hey Guys, Was setting up a quick FTP Server on my Synology NAS. I was having difficulty with trying to connect to the FTP server (NAS) over the internet, as in, it could not. I could connect just find on the local network, just not through the WAN interface. I ultimately was able to get it...

    Orbi Questions and Configuration

    I have the Orbi (RBK20, RBS20). I use it as an Access Point, connected into and EdgeRouter 4. What I did was, ultimately, use MOCA and build a Coax line to the various locations in the house, and then set the Orbi up to use a wired backhaul. I have retired my X4s router as a result. The Mesh...

    Completed MoCA setup

    Sorry, day #2 using MoCA ... but getting to that diagnostic page; is it just point the web browser to the IP Address of the (any one) adapter? Should I see any kind of settings that I can change? Or do I need to unhook the adapters, and attach directly to my computer to look at it? Thanks...

    Completed MoCA setup

    Hey all, I finished setting up my (rather simple) MoCA network in the house. I am not going to include any pictures just yet, but wanted to see if my speeds are about what is expected (real life). I am using just a pair of ECB6200 adapters to connect the upstairs to the downstairs (through 2...

    NAS for Plex, Roon, family data

    If you are planning on Synology, for "standard family/home" use, and your planning to load up Plex for transcoding; my recommendation is the DS718+, DS918+ and the 1019+. Yes, they are expensive. If you just want to purchase and forget about it ... this is a pretty good option.

    Thank you!

    Everyday, during my lunch hour, I visit these forums. I do my best to absorb all the conversations and learn as much as I can understand. It has even inspired me to order $250 in parts to build up a MOCA 2 network in my house! With that said ... (I mean all of this in the most respectful...

    MoCA questions / newbie

    The most intense rate would be ... streaming from YouTube TV, etc. I am pretty sure that all falls well below the 100Mbps rate you mentioned. So, where the Coax comes into the house, that splitter ... replace that with a splitter (5/6 way, I forget) with a decent MOCA capable splitter. Then...

    MoCA questions / newbie

    Hey guys, sorry for the delay on my response. I have attached a picture as well, showing the (rather simple) list of devices in play. Some details: I live in a townhome. I am a corner building, and share two walls. When I pull up my Wifi Analyzer app (on the phone) and look around, there are...

    MoCA questions / newbie

    Hey Guys, I have Coax cables running to every room in the house, and just realized that I could use MoCA devices to run Ethernet to those rooms, and lessen the load on my Wifi. Given that, I have some (N00b) questions for anyone interested in teaching me a few things about the technology...

    Which NAS?

    I have three Synology NAS's over the years, a DS212J, DS412+, and most recentyl a DS1515+. I, primarily, have only used the NAS's to store files (audio, video, network shares for members in the house). None of these boxes are capable of Transcoding Plex content at a high level (h265 content...

    Unmanaged Switch - IP Address (basic) question

    Hi folks, I have a Netgear GS308 v3 (8 port) unmanaged switch. When I purchased my Edge Router 4, I had assigned reserved addresses for the major pieces of the network (NAS, Access Point, etc). For now, I have the switch just hooked up and it all works, but .. is it possible for me to assign...

    Wireless advice townhouse

    Hey guys, Currently, in my townhouse ( just under 2000 sqft ), I am using the Orbi RBR20 (only the router unit) as my Access Point. That covers my entire townhouse just fine, so far. As a result, I have a spare R7800 router/wifi now laying in the closet. My brother talked to me the other...

    Do simple SOHOs benefit from dedicated wired router?

    That netgear switch (GS110EMX) is actually correct. Its not a L3 switch - as I do not need that yet. I was thinking I would need up to 4 port Link Aggregation in addition to the 2 10GB ports, but after thinking about it; I don't see a need for Link Aggregation. The Cisco switch is complete...

    Do simple SOHOs benefit from dedicated wired router?

    I fully appreciate the information. I am not going to run out and buy a L3 switch for my home network. Instead I need to figure out how I can get multi 10GB ports and 1GB ports on a switch to make my backbone, internally, 10 GB. That will allow me to then move my NAS to 10GB, and my desktop...

    Do simple SOHOs benefit from dedicated wired router?

    Interesting, so .. what I am reading is: I just bought a EdgeRouter 4 as my main wired router for the home. It is connected to a simple 8 port unmanaged switch (netgear). I have QoS (Smart Queue) turned on; on the ER-4. What your telling me is ... get a new switch, that has QoS on it, and...
