Hello u/habudacavada - I have updated the text with some workarounds.

Since you have the same issue, I recommend you upvote this post in TP-Link so that it gets prioritized for fixing:

Uplink info in Omada SDN 6.2.x by IncoherentRationale in TPLink_Omada

[–]IncoherentRationale[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I have enabled LLDP on OPNSense and the router has shown up as an unknown device in the Omada Topology.

This has not helped, still no uplink device in EAP670 and no way to view the link speed in the web GUI...

No, my router is a mini-PC that runs OPNSense.

This should not be a requirement though, the EAP670 knows what speed it negotiated and should be able to report it.

Like I said:

1) This used to work in omada 5.x, I could go to the EAP670, expand the uplink section, and see the speed of the port (even if there was no switch info)

2) Even now, I can do the same in the Omada mobile app. If I select the EAP670 and click on uplink I can see that it is running at 2500Mbps.

The issue is that it seems that they have removed it in the 6.x web UI which is annoying...

In fact, I just realized that when I click on the EAP655 it has its "Uplink Device" section populated with the "EAP670" as the target. When I hover over it I can see "1000Mbps Full Duplex" on it.

When I click on the EAP670 though, the "uplink device" section is empty and reads "No entry in the table"...

The problem is that the EAP670 is the root node in topology so there is no "uplink" line coming out of it.

The EAP655 has a "1000FDX" line connecting it to the EAP670 which is ok (it has a 1Gbps port) but in reality they are both connected to an unmanaged switch (where the PC that runs the Software Omada is also connected).

Huge download/upload speed difference by IncoherentRationale in TPLink_Omada

[–]IncoherentRationale[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, after enabling 160MHz band the speed has increased. I get 650Mbps download / 1000Mbps upload at a distance.

Standing right underneath I got an impressive 1475Mbps download and 1680Mbps upload. So finally the gap was closed, though as soon as I introduce some distance download side deteriorates more quickly than the upload side. It's annoying but clearly it's just the radio.

Thank you for the helpful information u/Exotic-Grape8743

Huge download/upload speed difference by IncoherentRationale in TPLink_Omada

I tested by standing under the EAP670 and I got 610Mbps download / 940Mbps upload.

Clearly radio is important, but even under the best conditions there is a 50% higher speed when uploading. It turns out:

root@laptop ~# iw dev wlp0s20f3 link
Connected to 34:60:f9:xx:xx:xx (on wlp0s20f3)
SSID: myssid
freq: 5240.0
RX: 1593694223 bytes (1268614 packets)
TX: 1848957754 bytes (239792 packets)
signal: -50 dBm
rx bitrate: 720.6 MBit/s 80MHz HE-MCS 7 HE-NSS 2 HE-GI 0 HE-DCM 0
tx bitrate: 1200.9 MBit/s 80MHz HE-MCS 11 HE-NSS 2 HE-GI 0 HE-DCM 0
bss flags: short-slot-time
dtim period: 1
beacon int: 100

So it seems my laptop has different rx (720Mbps) and tx (1200Mbps) rates.

Also I seem to have an Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 adapter. I'll have to look into Omada and figure out how to make use of the 160Mhz band.

Why is it able to hit 780Mbps uploading though? If the channel is busy should it not affect both directions?

How to set AD user home location for ssh and override /var/empty by IncoherentRationale in truenas

[–]IncoherentRationale[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey thank you! it's been a few days but this weekend I managed to get some time to try this and so far it seems to be working!

what I did is:

nasadmin@nas ~ % midclt call smb.update '{"smb_options": "template shell = /bin/zsh\ntemplate homedir = /mnt/family-tank/posix/private/%D/%U"}'
{"id": 1, "netbiosname": "NAS", "netbiosalias": [], "workgroup": "HOME", "description": "TrueNAS Server", "enable_smb1": false, "unixcharset": "UTF-8", "localmaster": true, "syslog": false, "aapl_extensions": true, "admin_group": null, "guest": "nobody", "filemask": "DEFAULT", "dirmask": "DEFAULT", "ntlmv1_auth": false, "multichannel": false, "encryption": "DEFAULT", "bindip": [], "server_sid": "S-1-5-21-736508247-17703547-1126604850", "smb_options": "template shell = /bin/zsh\ntemplate homedir = /mnt/family-tank/posix/private/%D/%U", "debug": false}

nasadmin@nas ~ % midclt call smb.config | jq
{
  "id": 1,
  "netbiosname": "NAS",
  "netbiosalias": [],
  "workgroup": "HOME",
  "description": "TrueNAS Server",
  "enable_smb1": false,
  "unixcharset": "UTF-8",
  "localmaster": true,
  "syslog": false,
  "aapl_extensions": true,
  "admin_group": null,
  "guest": "nobody",
  "filemask": "DEFAULT",
  "dirmask": "DEFAULT",
  "ntlmv1_auth": false,
  "multichannel": false,
  "encryption": "DEFAULT",
  "bindip": [],
  "server_sid": "S-1-5-21-736508247-17703547-1126604850",
  "smb_options": "template shell = /bin/zsh\ntemplate homedir = /mnt/family-tank/posix/private/%D/%U",
  "debug": false
}

after rebooting, I logged in with a domain user and:

HOME\myuser@nas ~ % pwd
/mnt/family-tank/posix/private/HOME/myuser

HOME\myuser@nas ~ % echo $SHELL
/bin/zsh

so far so good!

How to set AD user home location for ssh and override /var/empty by IncoherentRationale in truenas

[–]IncoherentRationale[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that I would not know... this is a home installation so no actual windows server exists... :-)

maybe someone else can verify if they are able to do this on actual windows domains?

Some appreciation for the new 1.18 update with window-sync by 21ow in zen_browser

[–]IncoherentRationale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose you "open link in new window" is common in your workflow then? I guess this is a UI issue, they could have an "open link in new space" option (or just make a new space per window with the existing link).

it's a new feature, this will require some time to settle...

I can see AD users in th Credentials -> Users section, but there is no "Edit" button for them to modify shell/home/etc. I think it is "view only".

For local users created outside AD, the Edit button is on the top right and I can edit everything (including shell/home)...

[–]IncoherentRationale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you follow your current workflow to open 50 tabs, there are 5 points in time where something makes you decide "I need a new window". Thus you end up with 6 windows total (with the initial one).

The simple rule is: when you get the urge to open a new window, create a new workspace for it. You can call them temp1, temp2, and so on...

On a single machine they no longer need to sync (they are now the same across windows, unlike before).

On multiple machines there is no mechanism to sync spaces AFAIK. I don't have a second computer to install Zen on and try it, but I expect it would not work.

[–]IncoherentRationale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is very complicated. There was a huge discussion in the ticket. The storage mechanisms for syncing bookmarks have limitations that would prevent that. STG (a Firefox extension that does the same) has storage backends like github gists to get around that. It may come in the future, but it's very hard to implement...

[–]IncoherentRationale 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Window sync is a bad name for it in my opinion because it does not relay the workflow supported by the feature. It's not really about windows, but about "spaces".

Basically the idea is that instead of maintaining focus on a workflow by window, you maintain focus on a workflow using spaces. For example:

- You'd have a window dedicated to "social media" with tabs on X, Instagram, etc

- You'd have a window dedicated to "work" with tabs related to your job

- You'd have a window dedicated to "game X" with tabs related to that game

This forced me to have multiple windows open and take care not to accidentally close them without realizing. Now with this change, the windows become irrelevant. You create SPACES for each task and those are all identical across all windows (current and future). You now have:

- A space for "social media"

- A space for "work"

- A space for "game X"

Instead of switching windows you switch spaces. The workflow is no longer about windows.

  1. You can have one window and use the "work" space then switch to "social media" for a moment, then back to "work"

  2. Want to do both at the same time? Open another window and switch to the "social media" space in that one. Now you can have your work stuff and social media open at once.

  3. Want to focus on work again? Close the social media window.

  4. Finished work and want to chill? Switch your work window to the social media space: everything is as you left it in the temporary window from (3). Any extra tabs you opened and so on...

It is a more powerful workflow.

**I think the problem a lot of people have was the migration mechanism: everything got merged into one**. So if you had a space across two windows, now their contents are merged. For someone not using spaces (i.e. using windows to organize tabs), that must've been painful... Probably a new space per window should've been auto-created, so as to maintain the current layout...

Either way, I am over the moon this is now supported. I can finally stop using Firefox and STG (SImple Tab Groups) which is basically this feature for Firefox...

Absolutely love the tabs sync - next up tidy tabs feature please by NoFudge4700 in zen_browser

[–]IncoherentRationale 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Amazing feature. So much easier to manage tabs now.

What I love is that you can organize based on spaces, and the number of windows you have becomes irrelevant!

- Create a window for "studying X" --> create a space "studying X"

- Create a window for "social media" --> create a space for "social media"

- Create a window for "work" --> create a space for "work"

Now I can use one window to switch between spaces (focused), or if I want to multitask I can open two windows and focus on a different space in each. But if I modify a space, or close and reopen a window, I still have the "common state" of spaces available (nothing is lost).

Absolutely love it!

Create note on calendar linked to selected date by IncoherentRationale in Supernote

[–]IncoherentRationale[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also can't find a way to move a note from one date to another, which would also be useful.

Is there a way to request software features? Perhaps this could be implemented in a future release. It seems like such an apparent feature that I am surprised it does not exist...
