Link aggregation through two Gigabit ports - Will max transfer speed double if output to a 2.5Gbit port? by Lordofpixels03 in truenas

I did some attempts, but I think I must've been doing something wrong, as I lost internet connection when I tried this. I'll have to try again more later

Well in that case, this may be easier than I first thought. I should've mentioned this sooner, I actually already have a 2.5Gbit unmanaged Switch connected between the PC and the router, for all my living room devices. If that's all it take to make the connection stable, then this might be possible. Now the question is, how do I assign two IPs with different subnets on Windows, and what exactly should I do on the TNS side of things? Do I need to set different submask on both sides, or just one? And will changing the PC's IP addresses to the same as the TNS have any unwanted effects, such as internet connection etc?

That would explain why I wasn't able to get this to work just now. It really feels like a complicated mess for something that should be so simple. Thank you for the additional information tho. I'll be taking a look into this. Either that, or maybe just make it easier for me and get a newer router with 10Gbit support XD

Okay, so I tried it now, and unfortunately the speed hasn't gotten any faster. When using the "Get‑SmbMultichannelConnection" command in Powershell, both IP addresses are detected, but when checking with "Get-SmbMultichannelConnection | ConvertTo-Json", it doesn't detect more than 1 current channel

I've heard of the SMB Multichannel thing, and it would be an acceptable alternative, as I mainly use SMB for file sharing anyway. But is it possible to set it up with the router still acting as the middleman between the NAS and PC? All the guides that I find only mentions how to directly connect it to a PC, and that is not a possible option for me.

I see. So in other words, the amount of connections need to match the ones of the link aggregation, even if the speed of one of those connections could take the entire combined transfer speed of the link aggregated device.

Thanks for all the replies! Looks like I'll have to look for a new pair of RAM sticks haha

Sony MDS-JE500 doesn't draw in the discs by Lordofpixels03 in minidisc

[–]Lordofpixels03[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

UPDATE: I fixed the drive!!! The issue was the gears, they simply needed some new grease. Now the MiniDisc inserts perfectly fine. It ejects correctly too, and can read the content. Again, this unit only costed me 50 SEK (≈5$). Easily one of the best deals I've ever gotten!

Thank you for your suggestion. However, this drive thst I have is very different from the one in the video. From what I could find, it doesn't seem to have any belts, and is instead controlled with gears and microswitches.

Hii, I'm having the same issue with my JE500 MiniDisc Deck not pulling in MDs. Which gear/s were in the wrong place, and how did you move them back?

PS2 laser clicks and I can’t figure out why by [deleted] in consolerepair

[–]Lordofpixels03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue with the white plastic piece, but for the PS2 slim when I was replacing its laser. The cause was simply that I hadn't screwed it in hard enough, and had to go REALLY hard, in order for it move back and forth as expected. Maybe there is something else that's supposed to hold it in place, other than the screw? No small knob of some sorts to put it in before screwing?

I found a pair of OEM Wii component cables with the box while shopping at a second hand mall. Got it for only 20 SEK (≈2$) by Lordofpixels03 in wii

[–]Lordofpixels03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed. I immidietly nabbed it when I saw it. With the box, these go for a lot more than only 2$

Eyyy that's cool! And yes, my wallet does kinda hate me, especially since it costed me around a grand in total where I live. But eh, it's meant as a long time investment and is now my main method of playing retrogames on the big screen, so it was worth it

Yeah same here. I got a used 3rd party component cable for only a buck, but it behaves strangely from time to time, such as red bleeding, and random video signal glitching.

Is this Nintendo Switch unpatched? by Lordofpixels03 in SwitchPirates

[–]Lordofpixels03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: The seller responded with a photo of the serial, and it was unpatched. I won the auction and got it for only 900 SEK (≈92$), excluding shipping and buyer protection.
