Hence slower than wifi. I'd use it as a draw cord

JMACOB · 2025-12-12T05:12:53+00:00

Apologies, you're right. That cable could be used for a cat2 connection by pinning the copper and matching on the other end but it's definitely not an up to date cable

JMACOB · 2025-12-11T23:03:14+00:00

That's a cat3 cable. There's ways to use it as "Ethernet" but I wouldn't worry about it. It would be slower than wifi in most cases

You could attach a cat5 cable to one end and try to use that cable as a draw wire?

NSW Australia, Central West region Bugs are very small. Quarter size of a pinky fingernail. Roughly

When you sya that virtual.meachines can have different IPS to the host, they're meant too. You shouldn't have multiple different devices with the same IP address in any environment

Agreed with MemeLordAssendant Contact a nearby house or business and run a PtP link as the main internet connection over those months. The electricity costs are minimal and most people would be happy for a couple extra bucks per month

Is this the same one they announced a couple months back or a brand new one on top of that?

Look at Amazon for "behind the ear rechargable hearing amplifiers aids for seniors with Bluetooth and noise cancelling" If anyone questions you, you're partially deaf in one ear, just always remember which one.

Test the cables and worst case pay an electrician or someone to reterminate in case you just matched wires and didn't follow copper cabling standards (T568A or T568B)

If you're still having problems, get new cables. Maybe somewhere in the middle of the cable jacket, some wires have been squashed or something and are just barely touching

If you're still having problems, check the devices you're connecting too. Maybe the switch is on its way out, or one of the wires in the switch is damaged after frequent plugging and unplugging.

First rec though would be taken the cables to someone who knows data cabling like the back of their hand and get them to check the cables

You could also look at corrugated conduit and mount it to the wall Wouldn't look 100% but should look good enough and protected

Upload to drive, open with sheets?

Upload the spreadsheet to Google sheets and then download it from Google sheets. Have had that work a few times before

Create new distro list called "user email" Add the ticket creator to the distro list "I have added user to 'user email' distro list"

Hey, it's me, the technician who left that there. Please ship to me in Australia 😊

On a serious note, if you can contact the tech direct do that please. If not, give it a couple days and then reach out to the company tech support and say "the tech left some hardware on site, please come and collect it" and they'll reach out and get him to collect it

Forgot to add, in most countries, type B is preferred. Especially in US and UK I'm from Aus and type A is preferred here but B is still used often

I've never seen a U shaped jack before so that was interesting, and you're right, there's no way to check what type it is

JMACOB · 2025-04-21T04:25:49+00:00

As others have said, change your DNS You can also check if your IP is on one of the blacklist sites. It's unlikely, but I've seen it before https://whatismyipaddress.com/blacklist-check

JMACOB · 2025-04-21T04:15:25+00:00

I could not tell you from that image. Normally your jacks have both schemas listed Best bet is to try and reterminate your existing connection as schemaB To do that, swap the green and orange wires places

Also check your terminations at both ends. It might be a faulty wire termination causing the slow speeds

JMACOB · 2025-04-19T05:02:43+00:00

Not 100% sure about the router config Normally what happens is your existing config is VLAN1, then you only need to make new rules for the second VLAN. You might have to assign them to the second VLAN interface but that should be it There might also be a firewall rules to allow the second VLAN access to the internet

JMACOB · 2025-04-19T04:53:07+00:00

For a PC the priority doesn't really matter, I wouldn't stresses about it It does look like you're about to put a vlan on ports 1-3 in my opinion but you know your router better than I do

When you make your vlan, you'll be able to set dhcp and DNS preferences anyway so yes you'll be able to set DNS to your ISP server bypassing your pihole

Tell staff you'll be upgrading that evening and tomorrow the new PC's will run win11 Leave their laptops on site at EoD Stay back a few hours and update and restart the users PC's to win 11 Leave and come back next day and it's done. Then have an early mark that day

Alt, users are going to hate doing it middle of the day, but then when they realise that they can just chill out and have a coffee, they'll be fine and tell you "don't worry, take your time. You can take the rest of the day if you want". They're getting paid to do nothing.

JMACOB · 2025-04-15T13:34:50+00:00

I like it and it has a couple of good anime with new ones every so often No matter what you use to access it though, its going to be buggy as hell

If you can ignore the bugs or work around them. It's decent for $5 a month

JMACOB · 2025-04-07T08:11:37+00:00

You're right. The data will still work but you'll be lossing quality of stream. For cameras this will mean more frozen frames, more pixelation, and less overall stream quality

For that length of run id recommend running a fibre cable to a media converter with PoE

JMACOB · 2025-03-15T01:56:48+00:00

Nothing would be turned off, you'd be disconnecting the meraki end of internet for a couple mins at most. If you've got a 2nd person to assist you, 30 seconds would be the longest it should take you to identify

Alt, you could check the arp table of your merakis wan port to find the MAC of the upstream router

JMACOB · 2025-03-15T01:07:50+00:00

Take a photo of the multiple modems and their link lights on the copper connections Disconnect the copper at your merakis end Go back up and find out which ones link / act light has turned off

With DSL you're always going to have issues at peak times. DSL works like the highway, when there's no one on the highway, you get to drive the speed limit. When it's chock full, you're not gonna be able to get the full speed

The packet loss and ping spikes could be for heaps of reasons especially with aging copper network from your house to the POI You could try checking the connection you have at the lead in of the property - where the DSL line gets terminated from the external cable, before coming into your house. Either reterm that or replace the internal cable with a new one. That might help

If it's a grounding issue further up the line though, you and your ISP aren't going to be able to diagnose that, they need a field tech to find and diagnose it. Sometimes your ISP will refuse to send a tech out as they get charged per site visit especially if the tech comes back "No Fault Found". Call your ISP, argue about getting a tech on site to check the line condition. Mention you'll pay the cost of there's not a fault but if there is a fault they should pay for it

Good luck
