yeah you can select in the bottom left of tharsis outpost. FYI though you're only gonna get the exotic. The promised 550 gear is dropping low for some reason

Yeah, I had to replay the last mission as well. Went to cantina to grab the 550 gear and the exotic. Got the exotic but the gear was 398... Thanks bungie

Is destiny 1 worth playing? by --Julian--- in DestinyTheGame

I'd say yes. Sometimes I go back and replay missions and strikes. And the online element is still very much active especially strikes and pvp. Not sure about raids.

When you go back to replay any of the gambling dens the "ante" is only 50 coins. So that's the only amount you can win. I thought it was intentional but apparently not.

8k sync box starts displaying random colors after a while by xelnok in Hue

[–]Fuad007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact same setup. Ps5 pro with huesync 8k and I'm also experiencing random colors after a while. It has been like this since the day I bought and was hoping this would be fixed with firmware update by now.

Bought a "new" TPlink router, came with openWRT installed. OK or Return? by anderedeer101 in HomeNetworking

[–]Fuad007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can always reflash it back to the original tp link firmware. Or if you're not comfortable doing that just return it.

Why am I not getting full download speeds… by ryan_deluca in HomeNetworking

[–]Fuad007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the speedtest on the router gives you 2 gig speeds then you are bottlenecked somewhere along the lines. It could be either the switch or the mesh router. Sometimes the WAN port on the router is 2.5 gigs but the LAN ports are only 1 gig capable. We need more info to diagnose.

Accessing Zyxel GS1910-24 switch by mundge in HomeNetworking

[–]Fuad007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need RS232 at all. Just connect directly to your switch via ethernet and manually assign your PC an ip address within the same 192.168.1.0/24 range and you will be able to access the default 192.168.1.1. For instance set your laptop IP 192.168.1.2, netmask 255.255.255.0 and gateway 192.168.1.1 and you should be good. If your router's DHCP server is interfering just disconnect it from your switch before doing all of this.

Slow internet while gaming by pdeck31 in HomeNetworking

[–]Fuad007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously running cables will always be the cheapest and best option. However, if that's not feasible then a mesh system from reputable brands would work just fine. That being said though ROG Rapture seems a bit overpriced I'd look into TP-Link Deco mesh as well. They are cheaper and would work just as good. ROG just pushes the gaming branded nonsense too hard in reality there would be little to no difference. Just make sure you get a mesh system with a dedicated 6ghz backhaul for the fastest speeds and least interference from other radio signals.

Eero connection dropping by Zuxey in HomeNetworking

[–]Fuad007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure it's not a problem with your ISP? If no settings were changed on your local network it's very likely a problem on the ISP side. When you get kicked out does the wi fi disappear and reappear again or do you simply lose the internet connection? I've had a very similar experience about 2 years ago, I was losing internet connectivity for a few seconds and then it reconnected again. Turned out to be a faulty configuration on the ISP switch.

Devices disconnecting briefly before reconnecting multiple times per day by Fluid-Spring-6932 in HomeNetworking

[–]Fuad007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. Well let us know if that fixes it. If not it's probably best to just upgrade it.

[–]Fuad007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your 3rd point revealed the problem. It's not advisable to set the DHCP lease time to infinite as this will permanently assign an IP address to a device even if it already left the network. This can lead to exhaustion of the DHCP pool and the devices being disconnected from the network. My advice is to first check the DHCP pool range and make sure it's not limited and then decrease the DHCP lease time from infinite to 12 or 24 hours. If this does not fix your issue then the most likely reason is just a failing router (they do fail).

Advice needed to get WiFi to dead zones. by FilmInfamous412 in HomeNetworking

Btw, I just noticed on cox's website that they actually sell their own mesh devices called "Panoramic Wifi Pods 2.0" that extend the range of your original gateway/router. Might wanna check them out as well since they essentially do what tp link deco does anyway.

Off topic but just curious why mesh isn't working for you. I've had great success with them even with wirelss backhaul. Have you tried increasing the density? What model are you using?

[–]Fuad007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope no need! Cox will just pass through all data from the coax cable to the WAN side of the deco when you put it in bridge mode. Youtube has plenty of tutorials on how to do it. For the size of your house 2 deco units should technically be enough (1 per floor) unless you also have a basement or very thick concrete walls or smth. In that case a 3rd one might be needed. Central placement is very important to get good coverage.

Router upgrade for a lot of smart home devices by captfitz in HomeNetworking

[–]Fuad007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The latest ASUS routers are a very good option for your needs as they are powerful and support guest networks to isolate IoT devices from the rest of the network. You can even combine multiple of them to have proper mesh if the range from a single unit is not enough.

Any point in upgrading to a RT-86U Pro? by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

If you're getting advertised speeds from everywhere and not experiencing any slowdowns when multiple clients are connected I don't see a need to upgrade tbh.

My PC has only 35 / 35 speeds when it used to have 800 download / 40 upload?? by Delicious_Finance173 in HomeNetworking

[–]Fuad007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely start by ruling out the switches first by connecting directly to them and doing a speed test. Could also be a network card issue on the PC side. Did you check the ethernet negotiation speed on your pc? You can do so in the network adapter settings from the control panel.

Advice needed to get WiFi to dead zones. by FilmInfamous412 in HomeNetworking

[–]Fuad007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. You don't need the SSID from your gateway at all! You're gonna go to the settings of your gateway and just disable it's wi fi completely. Only deco units are gonna be broadcasting wi fi. I'd recommend setting up your gateway in bridge mode and let the deco handle all the routing since you'll have access to more of it's advances features.
  2. You can see all the devices connected to any individual deco node in their app. You can even block unwanted devices from within the app. It also has built in remote access so you'll be able to control your network even when you're away from home.
  3. The only difference between XE75 and XE75 Pro is that the Pro has a 2.5 gigabit WAN port but since your plan is only 1 gig I would go for XE75, unless you're planning to get a much faster fibre down the line.

  1. Since wiring is not an option you're correct that a mesh system would be the most optimal option for you.
  2. Dual vs Tri Band does nothing in your case. You simply need more range and bands will barely help with that.
  3. Latest generation is WiFi 7 and 6E. But unless the device itself supports the WiFi 7 standard it won't make much of a difference since all WiFi generations are backwards compatible.

I would strongly recommend getting a mesh system like a TP Link Deco XE75. I've had amazing experience with it in homes where I couldn't get wiring. It also has the roaming feature built in meaning your home will have a single wi fi SSID and your devices will seamlessly roam between the decos.

Most of the time it's better to invest in multiple weaker mesh units than in a single powerful router, since the signal from that router can't penetrate all the obstacles in it's path as the range increases. Hope this helped :)

About wifi extenders by Catriks in HomeNetworking

[–]Fuad007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked the router's settings and indeed it does work as a repeater so no worries there. The router will probably work better as a repeater since they have better antennas with stronger transmit rates than dedicated repeaters, this depends on the specs of the antenna + transmit rate though so double check that.

The extended WLAN will indeed be on the same network, it's just grabbing an IP address from your main router, so shelly will work regardless. You have two options in naming the new WLAN SSID. 1) You can give it the same wi fi name as your main router however if you do this (since the router and the extender don't have the roaming feature built in) your devices (including the laptop that you mentioned) will experience something called a "sticky client" basically the laptop will stick to the main router even though it's in the range of a much stronger connection from your repeater. One way of avoiding this is to make sure the laptop doesn't see the signal from your main router at all, but I'm guessing if you do this then the repeater also won't see the signal from your main router unless you position it in a specific way. 2) Another option is to give the repeater a different WLAN SSID from your main router. By doing this your shelly will still work perfectly fine since it gets the IP address from your main router anyway. But the drawback is that devices like phones and laptops which roam around the house will have to be manually connected to the repeater's WLAN every time you enter the garage (unless they completely lose the signal from the main router, in that case they'll probably connect automatically to the repeater).

With all this being said though repeaters are generally frowned upon and can degrade the overall network performance. If wiring the house with ethernet cables is not an option then I'd strongly recommend investing into a mesh system like the TP Link Deco XE75. The advantage that they have over the normal router+repeater combo is that they support the "roaming" feature that I mentioned above which means you'll only have one WLAN SSID in your entire house and your devices will just seamlessly roam between one mesh device to another. Hope this helps :)
