    Wi-Fi setup for small motel

    I would add to sfx2000. There are ways to do this. the OP is asking a great question about the technical challenges in terms of signal, but there are a lot of other challenges you may have relating to the business. I would recommend something like a Meraki MR42. It is going to be pricy (about...

    eero 3 pack vs ubiquiti edgerouter + 3 x unifi lites

    roaming is usually more dependent on how the client decides to handle the connections as thiggins says. like Just mark, I use unifi at my house (two APs) and have used the minimum-rssi function to help the clients that don't want to switch readily (for me, it is my mac laptop). Since unifi...

    opendns works with computer dns conf manually but not router

    Can you send a screenshot of the specific error page you are receiving?

    AP/router from ISP + own router + managed switch

    sometimes a lot of delays are caused by DNS lookups. you can try setting public DNS servers on your devices (google or opendns) to see if that fixes things.

    AP/router from ISP + own router + managed switch

    Who is your ISP? I have seen some really strange setups built-in ISP gear. I always prefer to use my own router and then just setup the ISP into bridge mode. A lot of these modems are also needed for voice and video services and it's not like they do firmware updates very often, so you often get...

    MAC Filtering Implementation

    what kind of device is handling the DHCP? most DHCP servers allow you to add MAC addresses to a block list so they don't get DHCP at all. but like sfx2000 said you need a strong WPA2 password as the device could still manually enter the address if needed and have access, but most AP software has...

    Port Forwarding with two NICS

    What service are those ports for? In most configurations, you can control which IP address the server listens to the service on. For most services, it listens on all ports by default. Did you check to make sure the Windows firewall is not blocking the traffic?

    MAC Filtering Implementation

    should be a number of ways to do it using iptables: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/iptables-mac-address-filtering.html

    2 WAN (ISPs) merge LANs

    Any reason why you aren't doing both LAN A and LAN B on the same router? If you need to keep the networks apart, I think it would be easier to do a VLAN. From the diagram, it looks like you are saying LANB devices get an IP address of 192.168.0/24. Does that mean that the gateway for WAN 2 on...

    setting up wifi network for a church

    To get started we really need to know a bit more about your network. There are a lot of variables when you are trying to figure out something that size. A few things to think about: - As other people said, what are the problems? We need a bit more detail to troubleshoot what is going on. - What...

    IP conflict?

    If the cameras are the problem, I would try setting those as static AND place a DHCP reservation just in case they lose their config. how are the switches connected to the router? If you disable wireless, does your ethernet network work properly?

    Can you click on the network section on the left and send in a screenshot? also, please show us if there is anything under advanced routing.

    Possible ASUS Solution

    For what you are looking to do, the ASUS should be able to hand out that number of IP addresses without too much of a problem. We are assuming your 50 clients are all trying to stream HD video content of course. Like Cloud200 said, your biggest problem will be that you have no control of any of...

    Easiest way to filter mDNS traffic

    Need a bit more info. How many devices are there. You would probably need to get something that does DPI (deep packet inspection) in order to block the protocol on the network. Even then, I am not sure you would get the result you are looking for. You could try blocking UDP port 5353, but...

    join 2 separate networks together

    So why are the two networks separate? Why do you need two ISP connections?

    Network Gremlins - Wired and Wireless - Losing Internet when adding a LAN port

    Can you do a layout of the network? I am having trouble envisioning what is going on. Specifically, when you say LAN port into a switcher, I am not sure what the topology is there. What model switch are you using? You said you did some troubleshooting. When you are having the problems, can you...

    Cabling - Long Runs - Individual runs vs. using a switch

    This highly depends on how long your runs will be. If your runs are going to be within 75 meters or so, then I would say just stick with CAT5e or CAT6 all the way. If you are going longer than that, you can invest in some fiber SFPs. Even the low-end enterprise switches usually come with some...

    Moving to an unwired house, starting from scratch.

    This is a good point. I live in the Bay Area, California and so my garage is fairly cool year round. And with a 12U rack, there really isn't enough equipment running to change the temperature. That being said, you would be surprised at the conditions some network appliances can run, especially...

    Moving to an unwired house, starting from scratch.

    Very late on this, but when deciding how close your router needs to be to everything else, that with a wired connection, they don't need to be that close. So if you want to put your network rack in the garage/basement and use your current router for the house, you can still place it optimally in...
