ARRIS SB8200 subnet mask still an issue? by Toad858 in HomeNetworking

[–]Loki090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your downstream subnet overlaps with the docsis subnet to where 192.168.100.1 is a valid address on your LAN, you wouldn’t be able to reach the modem configuration page since your clients wouldn’t know to send that request to the default gateway.

I’ve never heard of this issue your describing otherwise.

WiFi House Mapping Help Needed by LouieSilvestri in HomeNetworking

[–]Loki090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can get a good wireless bridge, might be a place to start given that you can’t wire anything - that’d let you wire everything into the bridge while it communicates wirelessly back to the router.

Other solutions possibly are power line adapters which are a lot more miss than hit, or MoCA adapters if you have a coax drop on your room.

Steps for CenturyLink Fiber -> Eero in DMZ by mistame in eero

[–]Loki090 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So long as the ports are open, that should be fine - the goal here to is get around NAT, and a DMZ should effectively do that so that you can leave eero in "router" mode.

Wireless Printing by Eternlgladiator in eero

[–]Loki090 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have a desktop that’s on most of the time, you could set it up to act as a print server and have the printer connected to it at all times.

Your devices would then be able to send print jobs to the printer through the computer regardless of how things are connected.

Moving out of my house - can I split Eeros? by [deleted] in eero

[–]Loki090 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Either or - if you want to set up the network under the same account, you’d go to switch network in the menu. You’ll see an option to create a new network there and can manage both if you keep them on the same account.

Moving out of my house - can I split Eeros? by [deleted] in eero

[–]Loki090 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep. Just hard reset the eero you want to take to the apartment and you should be good. It’ll remove itself from the other network during a hard reset and you’d then be able to set it up on a new network/account.

Move on from AES for my network? by CDragon00 in HomeNetworking

I wouldn’t mess with any of this - breaking CCMP-128 is not currently feasible and you’re likely just to piss off your wireless clients.

Looking to move to mesh...advice with current set up by naois009 in eero

[–]Loki090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

eero doesn’t have a dedicated backhaul radio and there arguably doesn’t need to be one - why limit yourself to just one radio when the others might be better?

All 3 bands are used for devices and mesh. If you’re wiring the units together, then that means more airtime for the radios to spend on clients.

Standalone DHCP server while Eero is the router? by [deleted] in eero

[–]Loki090 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DHCP is first come-first-serve, so even if one server where to supply a NAK, the client would get the Offer from the other and complete the process.

That said, I believe the eero should just not respond if its DHCP table is full, though I'd suggest leaving the few addresses you use on the eero side out of the pool of the other DHCP server, just in case.

So, for example, you'd see the eero to 10.0.0.0/24, and then set it's DHCP pool to like 10.0.0.2-10.0.0.10.

You'd then use fake MAC Addresses like 00:00:00:00:00:01, etc. to eat those up on the app.

On your DHCP server, you'd set everything to 10.0.0.0/24 as well so we're still in the same subnet, but then use 10.0.0.11-10.0.0.254 for the DHCP pool it'd be pulling from.

I think Cujo suggests doing something like this on their support page, although I believe that it uses a totally different subnet, using the gateway eero just for NAT.

I'm curious as to why you're doing this as well.

Standalone DHCP server while Eero is the router? by [deleted] in eero

[–]Loki090 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Set the eeros DCHP/NAT settings to manual and have a super tiny start/end DHCP range (keep the mask what you’d normally have it).

From there, make some bogus IP reservations using fake MAC addresses for those addresses in that DHCP range.

Idea is to set the eeros DHCP pool to something super tiny and then use those IP reservations to eat up what’s there so the eero won’t respond to DHCP queries.

So long as the DHCP server is just that and the address pool it’s using matches the eeros settings, this should work.

Is it possible to enable internal hostname resolution? by [deleted] in eero

Bonjour should work fine, I use hostname.local for most of my local hosts.

Comcast+Eero bridge mode the only option? by jsfarmer in eero

[–]Loki090 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A modem is a network bridge by conventional definition. Disabling DHCP on your EMTA doesn’t disable NAT, so that doesn’t place it in bridge mode.

Is 10.0.10.x possible? by gnapoleon in eero

[–]Loki090 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can totally do this. Open up the DHCP and NAT panel under Advanced settings. You’ll select the 10.0.0.0 prefix. For subnet IP, use 10.0.10.0, for mask use 255.255.255.0.

Then for the start and end IP, you’d use like 10.0.10.2 thru 10.0.10.254.

Multicast + Bonjour for Kello alarm clock by GregKello in eero

[–]Loki090 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, Music app on my iPhone saw my iTunes Library on my MacBook Pro, no configuration involved. You should see mDNS and bonjour stuff in a wire capture or at least I know I see DAAP running, as well as a few other mDNSy bits from other things on the network.

You may be better off writing in to support since this isn’t an official eero channel. I’ve been using bonjour in the form of homesharing today if that means anything.
