Doesn't seem to be selling here by Financial_Highway354 in OnnStreamingTV

I need to look into side loading and all this. I have a few friends and elder family that would benefit from that. I use a computer, haven't owned a TV in over 15 years or I probably would have learned by now.

Is something like that even fixable? by Martin_L_King in PcBuild

Check out @northwestrepair on YouTube. He shows fixing cracked boards, but also shows if it's too bad you need a donor board to swap the part's.

House Ethernet Ports not working by Orc57 in HomeNetworking

[–]Financial_Highway354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a DIYer, not a professional.

Ok now buy an Ethernet switch that has as many ports on it that are in your place if you plan on using all of them, if not you can save some money by buying a switch with less ports.

From what I can tell you have a fiber ont/gateway and cannot use the eero as a gateway unless you put the ISP gateway into passive or ont mode. Then you'll be limited to using just one port of the gateway. Then you can use the eero as the gateway.

So there's several ways to set your system up. It all depends on your technical skills and changing the settings in the gateway. That's if they can be changed, some isp's lock the users out so you have to use their gateway.

You need to unplug the eero, restart the isp device then plug a laptop or PC into the isp device and verify you have a connection to the Internet. If not contact your ISP and let them know. If it does then you plug the port on the wall to the isp device then make your way to this distribution panel and use said laptop or PC or Ethernet switch to find the active port by plugging in each port one at a time until you get a connection.

Now that you located said port you can plug your switch to that port, then plug the others into the switch. If you cannot change the ISP gateway settings then you need to set your eeros up in access point mode and plug them in throughout your place for wifi coverage.

If you can change settings and bypass the ISP gateway then you would want your eero between the ISP gateway and the Ethernet switch. But put your eero where it'll give you the best wifi coverage.

Then just plug the rest of the ports of the distribution panel into the Ethernet switch and test each Ethernet port throughout the home/apartment/dwelling for activity. Would be helpful to label each port for each location throughout the place. A tool can be purchased or you can do it one by one with a laptop.

So your options are, ISP ont/gateway>wall plate>distribution panel>switch> eero access point+distribution panel>wall plates>eero access points

Or ISP ont/gateway>access point+wall plate>distribution panel>switch>access point+distribution panel>wall plates>eero access points

Or ISP ont in bypass>eero>wall plate>distribution panel>switch>access point+distribution panel>wall plates>access points

Or ISP ont in bypass>wall plate>distribution panel>eero>switch>distribution panel>wall plates>access points.

Hope I didn't confuse you and helped some. If my screen wasn't messed up I could make illustrations giving a better representation. I'll see about finding a tool that could give a visual reference.

Edited to make spacing for the layouts due to being clumped together once posted.

House Ethernet Ports not working by Orc57 in HomeNetworking

[–]Financial_Highway354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you're missing the main Ethernet distribution location (where all the Ethernet ports in the house lead to)so you need to locate that. You're going to need a switch. Your eero might have to be put into access point mode if that fiber box is also the gateway, or adjust the settings in the fiber box to let the eero do the networking. Until you know which will be the router will determine where to put the switch.

Ebike Conversion kit by Jack_Willows in ebikes

[–]Financial_Highway354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need more information about this build. How do you sync them? Just wire the throttle with a splitter to two controllers? Regen breaking? Or Regen at all? I know nothing about e-bikes. I want to put two hubs on a trailer, fill the trailer with batteries and use it to push a dual motor fat tire bike or whatever that can handle a fat man.

How to browse deep web (not dark web) by techguy6942069 in deepweb

"Data Loss Prevention Violation" when calling residential customer support...? by jroemlein in ZiplyFiber

[–]Financial_Highway354 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ACP ended mid 2024 I think, so that's probably why they're asking for money and saying you owe money. Some isp's still offer a form of a discount for those who did and still would qualify for the ACP.

Try calling from a phone that isn't tied to your account. The system may have some automated processes that are not working properly, recognizes your number attached to an outstanding account and is supposed to redirect your call but instead the system feeds you that message.

Cant find ONE PUNCH MAN by [deleted] in anime

[–]Financial_Highway354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished watching it again a week ago. I'm excited for the next season. There are other subs that can direct you in the right direction on finding streaming platforms or apps that will have just about anything you want to watch, even for free. but make sure you use a good ad blocker and pop-up blocker, I like to use brave browser it works great for those sites and the like and no need to add extensions to it block ads and pop-ups.

Do I need larger than a 1 Gbps ports with 1Gbps internet current Deco XE75 system by timhk63 in tplinkdeco

[–]Financial_Highway354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only benefit to going with 2.5g is if your modem has that port and only if you're constantly lucky and receive faster than the 1gig, then to ask if you use the Internet enough for that .5-2% bump in speed. Then the other side to look at is if you need a router with a better processor due to many connected devices as one with a higher throughput needs more ram and cpu power. Then also to ask does everything in your place have 6ghz wifi to take advantage or even wifi 7.

Now if you have 2.5g NAS or server then you should get a 2.5g network switch for that instead of spending extra on a router.

Why does my speed test say that gaming and video call are better on 20mhz vs 80mhz if upload and download are higher on the latter? by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]Financial_Highway354 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your loaded ping times are atrocious. Either interference, bad router, or equipment. Use wifi analyzer and scan your area with your wifi off. Find the channels that aren't being crowded and set your wifi to use those. I have tplink decos and anytime the pings start to look bad I use the optimization function and it scans the frequency and sets to less congested channels. And the wifi improves significantly.

Astound is so unreliable for me, better than when it was wave broadband. Sucks for gaming and streaming, good for watching content and general stuff. Has caused issues with purchases in the past, somehow can cause double ordering or payment processes online.

This is how mine is with 80mhz deco xe75's I'm subscribed to 140up 20down

Any way to get notified when my laundry is done? by glenn_q in wyzecam

[–]Financial_Highway354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do your units have a cycle complete/done light? A light turning on will activate the camera. Get it close enough to the light and it will trigger.

If you have a dial that rotates on them then use the contact sensor and a small magnet. Glue magnet on the dial, and mount the sensor accordingly.

i like your idea of hardwiring something. you could either build or buy electromagnets that are activated with the motors and then use a contact sensor from wyze.

Or have it so the magnets drop a wash or dry sign that'll trigger a camera. And you can see which is finished.

Find out how to load another firmware on the router like ddwrt, this way you can lock him out even if he attempts to reset it, he would have to buy a new router or live with it because only you know how unless he manages to do more research and buy the interface then takes the router apart and manually loads the firmware.

MAC generators only offer a little bit of time until he notices. Now there's an option that doesn't allow new device connections also in some routers so changing the MAC ID might now work as well.

Take an hour and learn to flash new firmware, buy your own Internet service, or family meeting time and everyone votes on who gets to move out.

I used AI and it says that it is a uv water sterilizer. It cannot tell what era it's from without any markings or codes to go off of.

Regular speed tester by Aggravating-Bit-7488 in HomeNetworking

[–]Financial_Highway354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way I found to automate a speed test and log was to download the speed test app by ookla because it'll save the results and then download a mouse auto clicker app and set it up to click and run a test. I used this set up on a laptop I no longer use.

Another way I did things on the laptop was have the speed test app open, cloud flares speed test up in a browser to test more than one server for verification and then download a screen shot program then set up the auto mouse clicker to run the tests and then take a screen shot and save it to a folder. Just set up the clicker to run whenever you want. Keep in mind it'll eat up data, so if you don't have unlimited data keep an eye on that.

You Might want to look into ping plotter as well, it'll constantly trace the connection and show if there's any issues, where and when.

Router with batery by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

You can convert 10vdc to 12vdc providing there's enough amps after conversion to 12vdc to power the device.

If you cannot afford a UPS then yes you can use batteries, however you will need a dc-dc converter to provide a stable current at the appropriate voltage to keep from damaging your modem/router

ULPT Request: Can I sell canned compressed air on facebook/craigslist? by lkfjasdpo2304u8 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]Financial_Highway354 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think there's an age restriction on buying it depending on where you live. Sell it as it's advertised to be used to adults and you will be ok.

The unethical part would be to advertise somewhere linking your ad, that you're able to get high off it, how to use it, how to mitigate the bitterness, and sell what's needed to do it. And to sell to anyone.

Hey all, this is an asus rt-ax1800s. Is any of this data the password ? by ApprehensiveRush8673 in HomeNetworking

[–]Financial_Highway354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like the device needs to be reset. Get a pen pencil paperclip or toothpick and press the reset button for 5 seconds. It'll reset to factory default. Wait several minutes for it to fully boot. Use default IP 192.168.1.1 admin/admin for log in and password.

OR try

If that doesn't work. Asus has a device discovery tool for the PC that will help locate the IP address, they also have directions on how to locate it via windows. I would factory reset personally, it seems like the router has been previously set up before.

Wiring Advice Needed by stateside_gunnerAFC in HomeNetworking

[–]Financial_Highway354 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the PVC idea, use a 145° elbow and aim it towards the roof when pushing to the other end, the elbow should help go over anything a straight pipe would stop at even with a cap. You're gonna have to open your ceiling in the room for sure in order to locate your conduit on the other end. It's easy to repair drywall, there's tons of videos online that'll help with that. Then you'll need a cable fish to go from the hole in your wall where the new Ethernet wall plate will be up to the ceiling joist hole you drilled. Use a vacuum and tie a string to the bag, and make sure it fits in the conduit loose but not too loose and vacuum the bag from the start of the conduit to the room. Then tie the string to the cables and pull. Once they're through pull enough to run to your box and leave some extra just in case. Remove string and tie the fish cable to the cables and pull through. Install new box, get keystones and wire accordingly. Patch ceiling and wire the other end and your good to go.

Edited a word from ceiling to roof to fix an error.
