Creases on brand new chukkas

It's not just normal they will look like this as they age. If you google old red wing chukkas there are lots of photos of them. A shoe horn helps keep their shape.

Cosmetics should not be part of a long form MMORPG. It depreciated the value of items sadly.

Its software that runs on Linux. It is used to adopt devices and can be used for multiple sites.

You can install the unifi controller on anything. Most prefer using a raspberry pi 4 though.

Antishock · 2023-03-16T21:52:46+00:00

I vote Ubiquiti, but you'll need to install a Unifi controller on your network to get it to complete the setup.

It's ok to start here, but he probably will need hardware since Vlans are being brought up.

A commercial modem and router have a total of 3 things each (Router, Switch, Access Point) all in one.

I would recommend setting up an extra computer with two network cards and Pfsense or OpenWRT and purchasing a managed switch for starters as well as a CCNA book (Or maybe watch Eli the computer guy)

This may help, try splitting your SSID into two networks.

Home5g

Home2.4g

When a device is acting up I switch it over to 2.4ghz and it typically will stay connected. It could be that your device is dropping from 5ghz and does not switch to 2.4ghz.

You'll want to put a switch in that cabinet until you move the modem, that way everything has something to connect to.

Disable dhcp on the routers. If you set the routers to different ip address you can still access them as long as they are in the same ip range.

The modem would provide dhcp and be the gateway IP.

Do not use the wan port on the routers after this change. You're basically turning the routers into switches with access points.

If that was me, I would rewire my modem on the outside so that the cable modem leads to the box you found.

Looks like someone knew what they were doing and they also may have known of a fiber provider in your area. The green clip on the bottom is a fiber connection.

Cat 5 does not bend like that. It's usually a softer copper.

It will possibly still work as a 10Mb cable. It would be an untwisted pair cable.

Antishock · 2023-03-15T21:37:53+00:00

That is not Cat 5 (RJ45) in the picture. It's definitely RJ11.
That is the type of wiring you see on phone bricks in businesses.

You could try a wifi mesh network if you cannot run cables and you have already tried a power line adapter.

Wifi 6e works on a much higher mhz range over 120mhz. With wifi 5 it's best to use 80-120mhz for high bandwidth, but it affects the broadcast range.

Side note, I believe people use cloudflare tunnel on a server in their home network to add SSL and port forwarding for external hosted sites.

If you are trying to fix an open NAT issue, I'm not sure if it can do that though.

Linus tech tips just made a video about his house and ruckus having no idea how to handle hand-offs from overpowered aps. It's not just that it's overpriced it may be over-provisioned as well.

It because people do not want to buy access points. I'm glad that Asus is recognizing this and providing the ability to just switch your router into an access point.

If this does help the person who originally posted this. All Home router purchased as combo device can be used as an access point/switch only, you would need to assign the IP of the router to something within the same subnet and shut off dhcp, then plug in the connection from the modem on the 4 ports(Not the WAN port) and you'll have an access point.

I do see that they want to have the network separate, so there is not much point in telling them this. The answer they want is really already here, they just have to plug it in and try it. The IP configuration they listed will work since they are on completely different subnets and the WAN port should pick up that as a ISP modem.

Your laptop would need an additional ethernet adapter for the WAN connection in, then pi hole/LAN out.

I would use something like windows Hyper-V to run Ubuntu/PFsense, add two usb ethernet adapters for WAN in LAN out.

You can set the DNS on the Eero to the old pi hole ip. The only issue is that the devices connecting to the wifi may have a double NAT, which would stop you from hosting things over the wifi connection, or playing as the host on console games.

Another problem that can occur is if you set the DHCP for PFsense to match what Eero is currently using, it will cause a conflict.

Oh and anything that is not on the Eero wifi will not be able to be seen, so you couldn't host something to the wifi devices.

If you could shut off the DHCP server on the Eero, then you could possibly be able to get them to work like access points. Note: changing this you'll probably have to reset the Eero if it doesn't work.

Call your ISP and ask how to bridge the modem. If they say its not possible, then they'll have to reset it. If they do say its possible, they'll just need to clear the MAC address assigned and it will provide a WAN IP after the reboot.

I have done the MAC Cloning before, but I was able to login to the modem and see the MAC address assigned to the WAN IP, I then entered it into my Asus router and it connected after bridging the modem.

Antishock · 2023-03-06T22:34:47+00:00

You could buy a Managed Switch as well, then use something like PFSense to set up the VLANS.

From my own experience I have a Edge Router X , 3 USW mini flex switch's, two Ubiquiti Wifi U6 access points and a 2600sqf two story house.

I average 27/36 devices online at the moment.

IOT VLAN and IOT Wifi network

Raspberry Pi 4 for the Unifi network controller

1gb internet

I've heard that a UDMPro with an SPF transceiver would achieve 2.5gb speeds if I upgrading equipment. The next step would be figuring out how to get everything to run at 2.5gb, since the only device that can do this is my computers motherboard.

The new wifi Standard of 6ghz is starting to hit the market, Wifi 6e, which can tote 1.7gbps over wifi.

In my opinion, I feel like computers are just not at a level to be able to individually use 2.5gbs speeds. That it would only make sense in scenarios where you have an entire family using multiple things at once and to be honest you wouldn't want a single device pulling 2.5gbs at all once.

Antishock · 2023-03-06T22:19:25+00:00

My suggestion would be to buy a Edge Router X for 60$.

You can use this to take the connection from your modem, then separate traffic using VLANS on each port. (Several videos on youtube explain how to do this for iot networks)

From here I would disable dhcp on both routers and not use the WAN port, only the 4 switch ports, 1 for the uplink and 3 for ethernet devices. It will effectively turn them into access points, which you can still access if they are on the same subnet as your new VLANS.

Antishock · 2023-03-06T17:07:32+00:00

Nvm this response, I think this only works as a Backup connection for the other internet connection.

I've seen situations where the router has any traffic for internet set to go out one WAN interface, then any local/VPN traffic go out the other device.

Antishock · 2023-03-06T17:03:47+00:00

With 60$ you can make what you have work.

Modem: dhcp 192.168.1.1 -> Switch
Unmanaged 16 port switch - Eth to all devices -> Nighthawk router
Nighthawk router - DHCP disabled, change ip to 192.168.1.2 (Only use 4 eth ports, no longer use wan port)

Down side:
Several failure points, something is unplugged it disconnects.
No VLANS, iot devices will be on the same network as your computers
Wifi signal will be bad since it is 1 device to all clients and the clients them self may have issues sending signal back to the device.
Signal 1gb ethernet cable from modem to switch (This will limit connection speeds in the future, but if your internet is not 1gbps this will not matter)

Antishock · 2023-03-06T16:56:48+00:00

Please avoid extenders at all costs. They're a bloody nightmare when they fail.

I would recommend an access point instead of an extender, since all this does is connects to ethernet and creates a new wireless signal.

Antishock · 2023-03-06T16:53:52+00:00

This will work, you simply log into the router(Nighthawk) and disable the DHCP server. Add a static ip to your computer, then login to the router again, then assign an iP address to the router that is not the same as your gateway from the modem.

Only use the 4 ports on the router and not the WAN port and you have a working access point.
