    Will MoCA Work?

    Well MOCA is going to be difficult but probably doable. The 2 tier splitter/amp setup still applies, MOCA and modem (plus the TVs that share those runs) on the smallest splitter you can use, then an amp and splitter off that for the rest of the TVs. I'm assuming running an Ethernet or another...

    These types of Apple devices/services should be outlawed. No security fix is available at all

    Because you can't control people, so you try to control the tool (same for all the analogies we've already mentioned, murder is illegal but we still need to regulate guns). It's an ages old debate. They've tried to pass laws to make guns only work with a fingerprint or stamp a serial number...

    Right, they tie it to a critical function like finding your lost or stolen phone....

    Will MoCA Work?

    If you can disconnect a couple cables and make a dedicated run, that will be your best bet. Just toss whatever MOCA adapter you want on both ends and you have essentially an ethernet run (but with about 3-4msec of latency). If not possible you'll need MOCA rated splitters (easy to find online)...

    These types of Apple devices/services should be outlawed. No security fix is available at all

    Already addressed in a previous reply, I am aware of the shared benefit. It does not pose any safety hazard to me, and I can turn it off anytime I want. The trackers were placed on or in the property of the person doing the tracking. Legal counsel was sought and it was confirmed 100% legal...

    settings for AX11000 pro

    You need to enable SSH (LAN ONLY) in the GUI and then use something like putty to SSH to the router IP, use the same login and password as you do with the web interface. Be careful in there, just run the commands I've listed (copy and paste) and use caution not to right click and paste stuff...

    Clone serial number

    Your IPTV provider can't read the serial number of your router unless they've installed custom firmware on the router. Was the router provided by them? Regardless, changing the serial number would most likely require at the very least tearing the router apart and using a JTAG or serial...

    Confused about subnets and vlans

    If your audio network needs no access to the internet or other LANs, then you can just keep it totally isolated on a dumb switch with static IPs, that's going to be your lowest latency in most cases (unless it is a really old or crappy dumb switch). Or if you don't want to do static IPs, you...

    These types of Apple devices/services should be outlawed. No security fix is available at all

    Apple is far from the only offender. My issue with airtags specifically was there is (or was) no opt in or opt out, even if you have no airtags and don't know what they are, they forced you into being part of their tracking network. Any other company that has done the same (haven't heard of...

    No reading necessary, have used both. GPS tracker works perfectly well with excellent accuracy under a car and indoors. Yes, needs to be charged every few weeks but you can set it to less frequent updates and get a month or two out of it. But it is realtime whereas the airtag could be hours...

    These types of Apple devices/services should be outlawed. No security fix is available at all

    I think that's one of the biggest concerns - people who have no phone who think they're somehow safe, an airtag dropped in their bag will still track them because everyone around them with an iPhone is acting as the tracking network. But of course the same can be done with a cheap GPS tracker...

    Router will change the WIFI network for the connected machines according to distance from the router

    CPU in the router is far better suited for handling DHCP requests than a switch. Maybe that's why your network crapped out every morning.

    Router will change the WIFI network for the connected machines according to distance from the router

    DHCP renewal is unicast, not broadcast.

    Looking for help buying an sqm Router with performance to almost 500mbit connection

    Yes, like I said their connection to the ISP is fine, quite low latency in fact. Your path to google may follow your ISP for several hops, it may jump onto a backbone. For another site it may be totally different. All depends on where you are located, how many connections to the backbone your...

    Solved Pros and Cons of Static IP?

    Well, in theory depending on how heavily loaded the carrier's NAT device is (and whether it is directly in the path or causes a less than optimal route) a public IP could potentially reduce latency, but I can't imagine it would be a noticeable amount...... There are rare applications (and...

    settings for AX11000 pro

    In reality there isn't a single command since it is radio power + amplifier (if one is used in the router) + antenna gain that determines your total power/EIRP. However from what I can see online, SG and US are the same, so the 5ghz lower channels 36-48 are 200mw max EIRP, and the upper 149-161...

    settings for AX11000 pro

    VLAN 10 has your public internet IP and is the WAN of the ASUS, nothing other than the Asus WAN should have an IP there. VLAN 100 has your internal IPs and is the LAN of the Asus. You want your switch management to be in VLAN 100 (probably 192.168.x.x unless you've changed it). Due to the way...

    settings for AX11000 pro

    So it has an IP in the VLAN 100 subnet (that's not the ISP subnet, that's your LAN)? If so as long as you always manage it from that subnet, it doesn't need a gateway or DNS, but you can set the gateway to the Asus IP too, that would not allow it to be hit from the internet. But unless you...

    settings for AX11000 pro

    I'm not following. Your LAN devices should all use LAN IPs, and you can manage them from any LAN device (other than guests with LAN disabled obviously).
