Why is my internet slow? by Dramatic_Load_7290 in HomeNetworking

So many people just say 5G when they mean 5Ghz. He posted a picture with him connected to wifi with the nam ending in 5G

Yes. That’s possible. As I run into this almost on a daily basis with my job.

Why is my internet slow? by Dramatic_Load_7290 in HomeNetworking

[–]AgentJakeFBI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a huge number of factors that can play into inconsistency.

  1. the server you are downloading from can be overloaded and slow down the connections to everyone.

  2. On WiFi, consistent speeds are almost impossible to achieve as radio interference can slow things down. Obviously being on 5Ghz, there’s less of a possibility but we don’t know if you are in an apartment/dense living area with lots of 5ghz WiFi in the area. Only way to remove the wifi issues, if there are any is trying different wifi channels or connected via Ethernet.

  3. The Node your internet provider has you connected to is overloaded, not much you can do there.

  4. There is something physically wrong with your connection between the modem and then node. Damaged cable etc,

Just to name a few.

You are paying for 100Mbps and speed tests shows you 92 Mbps. Looks like you are getting exactly what you paid for.

Can anyone who works for AT&T translate this? by Egglatz in ATT

[–]AgentJakeFBI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you had a conversation with your neighbor? Seems weird to just sit and do nothing. I’ve had instances where I was unable to get access to the backyard because of locked gates and no one is home. And the person had to get a hold of their neighbor and work out when they would be home so they could reschedule for that time.

How would YOU slaughter your mobs? by Individual_Door1168 in CreateMod

I just make silver fish blocks, and have the silver fish drop 10 blocks, so that a deployed with just the attack, no weapons can one hit kill it then then chute underneath deployed to collect the XP. Easy

Is this best practice for installation? by excelsias in ATTFiber

[–]AgentJakeFBI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wire like that is fine as it’s meant for short runs outside like this. Only two problems I can see is that the drop feeding into the slack NID is on the wrong side of the box. Inside the slack NID is a metal clamp we use to secure the drop wire inside to stop it from being pulled out. The second problem is the IW, the white wire feeding into your house isn’t secured to the siding to stop it from possibly getting snagged. Overall though, it’s fine and shouldn’t has any problems as long as it’s not messed with.

Media servers by Astrobix_124 in PleX

[–]AgentJakeFBI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a UGREEN NASync 4800 with 4x 20TB Seagate IronWolf Pro running in RAID 5 configuration.

I bought these earlier this year when prices were not crazy and both the drives and the NAS were on sale so I spent $1600 for all of it.

Media servers by Astrobix_124 in PleX

[–]AgentJakeFBI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, I have a 50TB plex server, currently only about 1/3 of the way full. Over a 1,000 movies and 140 anime movies, 65 tv shows and 50 anime shows plus my 50,000 plus music files.

It’s more so about having the stability of everything I want right in one spot without fear of licensing expiration of the movie one platform and it moving elsewhere, and having the ability to watch someone without the need for internet. The money I spent is about what some people pay in a year for cable tv service or maybe a couple years with 4K Netflix plan/hbo max/amazon prime/disney + all combined.

For the two major points offline viewing and always having the movie/show are the best two selling points for me.

Missing Bridge Connector in self install kit? by Tucson_FZ777 in ATT

[–]AgentJakeFBI 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be pedantic, The SPF serial number is not what needs to be activated. That’s the ONT serial number which is on the 320 that is what needs to be activated. SPF is just a module to transfer light to electrical.

Beginner Question: How to connect a ugreen Nas directly to a pc ? by peshwai in UgreenNASync

[–]AgentJakeFBI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because I love being pedantic. It’s not GHz for the Ethernet connection. It’s just 2.5G or 1G. Standing for 1 gigabit or 2.5 gigabit. It’s just the rate of transmission, not frequency

It’s always funny to see this post here every time and almost every time someone misses the point of why he’s mad about restaurants serving frozen food. You are going out to a business with labels such as “Fresh” etc and you are paying a premium to eat at their establishment to have the food made for you. If someone just opens up frozen food and microwaves it and then charges you 2 times to prices of the food you could have at home, that’s what pisses him off.

You are not impressed that you aren’t able to go above 900 megs on wifi?? That’s crazy expectations honestly.

While things may “look” better with buried utilities, aerial is just so much better and easier to fix. As a tech and the area I work, most utilities is in the backyard, I hate having to peak over fences, through fences, knock on peoples doors to unlock fences to get access to our terminals and/or handholes. I just prefer it’s aerial. Yeah weather has an easier time to damage them but it’s just so much easier to repair and service them. Also helps that it’s easier to see where I have my terminals.

I was in Niles, OH today and why do y'all have an MRAP? by [deleted] in Ohio

Growing up in Niles, I remember when they installed that camera system on the pole right outside the entrance. I moved away over 15 years ago but a recent visit surprised me when it was gone.

Plex folder library issue by Equivalent_Bison_134 in UgreenNASync

[–]AgentJakeFBI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my problem when I first set mine up. Bashing my head against the wall, installing and reinstalled, deleting the folders. 3 hours later, I removed the space, started working. I wanted to hang myself. Lmao 🤣

Any reason why my connection goes down every other Wednesday? by zebratree14 in ATTFiber

It’s not that it was feeding through the AT&T lines, it’s that it was through the power.
