    How sensitive is MoCA to cable run length, couplers, and splitters?

    without reading the answer is very very sensitive. Its copper or a cable which uses a metal conductor which is susceptible to emf and other interference. So how sensitive depends on the cable use, the insulation, grounding and isolations, the frequency and resistance of the cable. The...

    Deciding between AC86U and AX58U- specific requiremnts

    It will be a while before AX becomes the norm, even many devices in the 3rd world are still 2.4Ghz only and even in the past with wireless A around most chips were 2.4Ghz only. So my suggestion is if you want what rmerlin firmware offers, buy the AC86U, otherwise if the AX58U has a better CPU...

    what can you change your IP to

    if you change the loopback interface IP you can use it on any interface you like. Basically you can create your own internet using a 0.0.0.0/0 network which wont be able to route with the existing internet, but all devices are configurable in that way, so theres even no harm in using a public...

    Looking for two Lap tops, Can I get some help choosing which.

    depends, where i work my usb-c extension broad down the network, making the router unresponsive and disconnect from internet. However both routers they used were tplink and an expensive dlink when before this i've been suggesting mikrotik to them, even offered to lend my CCR and i know mikrotik...

    what can you change your IP to

    not really, you can actually use any IP address you desire, but if it just so happens to be the same as one on the internet then your traffic will just get redirected to your router instead. Literally, any IP address/network you desire. You could have an ip of 14.65.1.1/24 and it will give a...

    From a consumer NAS to DIY

    most UPSes use lithiums or lead acid. A couple of old UPSes i have use lithium ions, and in this very humid climate >80%, all my lithium batteries started to expand after a year or degrade significantly. Since most UPS use some sort of 12V battery, the charging is specific so i would have to...

    From a consumer NAS to DIY

    not bad, i wish i could afford some of the things that you have but i dont even have enough to DIY my own APC with a salt water battery as i have half the materials from recycling and tap water works fine with it. One of the bad things about being in a 3rd world country is that we just cant...

    10GB NIC only getting 1GB speeds

    yup, this shows your 10Gb/s links are working properly and CPUs fast enough. If you are getting 1Gb/s it would be a bottleneck somewhere or software.

    Router Advise for new Home Network

    both ubiquiti and mikrotik have rackmounted routers and at a cheaper price too. For both brands its just the form factor really, just like you can find rackmounted and non rackmounted variants for various mikrotik lines. both routers will do what you want, only that i have a biased preference...

    10GB NIC only getting 1GB speeds

    first verify that the links between are all 10Gb/s. I use SFP+ direct because its cheaper and ensured. When testing, use iperf, it eliminates some memory bottleneck and doesnt inolve drives. SATA 3 controller is only 6Gb/s but individual drive speeds vary. Nothing to do with jumbo frame. 1GB/s...

    Router Advise for new Home Network

    he mentioned a lot of alternatives above, but you need to know what features you need. For instance with every router brand there is hardware NAT, but use QoS and it cant be used relying on CPU speeds. Ubiquiti i know suck at non hardware accelerated stuff compared to mikrotik, otherwise you're...

    WAN to LAN throughput

    different NICs react differently to the same cable, so first check if any links are operating at 100Mb/s and see if using a different cable will solve it (check in PC/router to see the rate). this really sounds like a cable somewhere is at 100Mb/s. If its wifi than you should realise that...

    New to synology

    also to prevent such a thing from happening again, use a surge protector.

    RT-AC86U and Virgin SuperHub 3 - Issues with Speed

    anything with the virgin brand on it sucks. I booked my seat on a virgin train and didnt get to sit at it, so had to stand. virgin media advertises a high speed but does not give it, and the upload speeds you get with them are also terrible. You managed to get 300Mb/s as peaks, so its not the...

    Edgerouter 12 vs Mikrotik RB4011

    I've used both too. There are differences, for instance if you're trying to create something complex, this is much easier to do in mikrotik than in ubiquiti. Ubiquiti also lacks the layer 2 control that mikrotik has. The only thing i havent forgiven mikrotik for is the lack of DNSSEC, but lack...

    Question [Block Box - Hand Crafted Router]

    We can do any of the stack, but in a normal team or project, you dont want one developer handling everything as it is better to distribute the stack.

    Mikrotik RB4011 question. VLAN config

    quite a lot, but i didnt need to read it to know its wrong. With mikrotik configuring things work slightly different. The part you quoted is wrong so you did spot it, where it should not be applied to the bridge or ethernet interface, but rather the vlans only. So first you have vlan that is...

    Question [Block Box - Hand Crafted Router]

    but decently powerful enough, considering we started hitting 500Mb/s NAT using broadcom's hackish solution with dual core ARM A9s. Raspberry pi 2 uses 4 ARM A7s at a slower clock, but the raspberry pi 4 uses a SOC faster than the A15 and mikrotik uses quad core ARM A15 now inexpensively and it...
