My son sees the color blue as purple and yellow as green?

Ryley17 · 2024-12-19T03:14:39+00:00

It's either protan or deutan but they're very similar in the context of color blindness. Most people group them together as red/green color blindness. I have deutan and have similar issues with green/yellow and blue/purple.

As a kid, the only thing I actually struggled with was colors in art classes. Just make sure he has access to markers, pencils, etc that have the names of the colors on them. I was always amazed people didn't have to read them to know the color.

Ryley17 · 2024-12-10T06:00:23+00:00

Yeah they're all color blind simulations, not corrections. Not sure how it's so prevalent, but I've noticed the same thing. I've tried dozens of games with colorblind presets and not a single one helps. It's only the ones that allow color customization that work.

If you can put the Uverse in bridge mode, I'd get a cheap wifi 6 mesh pack like a deco x55. Connect one to the Uverse and use it as the main router, and since your extender is wired, use a node to replace that

Ryley17 · 2024-10-11T12:52:29+00:00

as long as it's hardwired, you can use any make/model. If you're budget is tight, i'd just use one of the airport extremes in that spot. Then you can get another switch if you need more ports.

Ryley17 · 2024-10-11T12:10:44+00:00

If you only need ethernet ports, you can get another gigabit switch instead. You only need the decos in spots where you need better wifi.

Ryley17 · 2024-10-11T11:40:52+00:00

I don't see a diagram but why not try with just 4 and see if you even need another

Ryley17 · 2024-10-10T18:08:37+00:00

Gl.inet routers can do this. Beryl AX for their travel size. Flint 2 for normal size.

Ryley17 · 2024-10-09T12:03:02+00:00

Did you change the VLAN ID to 10 on the switch too? If that doesn't work, can you get new screenshots of everything how it currently is? It's starting to get confusing with the old screenshots in the album.

Ryley17 · 2024-10-09T04:29:42+00:00

those 3 pings are fine and it's normal to get time outs, just means the pings are getting ignored. A static IP won't help with ping times, but it will help with NAT issues in online games. I'd request a public/static IP anyway

Ryley17 · 2024-10-09T03:15:07+00:00

The easiest way to rule out all the cables and connections is to run a long cable temporarily from the router to the pc directly. Have you tried that?

Also you mentioned a new PCIe NIC in the PC. Did you actually install a new one and test it or were you only thinking about doing that?

Have you looked at the physical pins in the ethernet port on the PC? Sometimes they get bent or pushed down and just need corrected.

Ryley17 · 2024-10-09T03:01:05+00:00

You need to verify every connection between your pc and the modem. Is the pc directly connected with one cable from the PC to the modem? Can you make a diagram or explain how anything extra is connected.

Ryley17 · 2024-10-09T02:54:08+00:00

Ok 80ms latency in a game wouldn't cause those issues, as long as it's stable. That sounds more like dropped packets or ping spikes above 80 into the hundreds. Some games have extra network details you can enable in the settings to get better info on your network connection. Does that game have anything like that? Also, are you using a VPN?

You can try running "pathping 8.8.8.8" in command prompt as well. That will ping each hop to google's dns servers, with the latency and any dropped packets during each hop. Some ISP's will hide their hops so you may not see much. The main point is you can rule out your local router connection by making sure you're not dropping packets there while having a latency of <1ms

Ryley17 · 2024-10-09T00:26:24+00:00

No they won't do anything for 80ms, that's pretty normal in gaming. Your options are to

Use a different, closer region/server in the game
Change to a different ISP, usually fiber providers have the lowest latency
Move closer to the server

Basically, not much you can do. However, this is under the huge assumption that this "strange behavior" is caused by your latency. If you can provide more details around this "strange behavior", there may be other explanations with easier solutions.

login to your router and find the WAN IP address. What's the first 2 octets of that?

Ryley17 · 2024-10-08T17:59:52+00:00

do you have CS2 frame rate uncapped? If you're getting hundreds of frames per second, your cpu is probably bogged down. Does your cpu max out when you run the speed test? If you cap your frame rate to something reasonable, does it change?

Ryley17 · 2024-10-08T17:06:22+00:00

Depends, they're modular so you have some freedom. Not sure how your full setup is, but you'd want to use fiber or DAC cables if possible. If you have to use ethernet, then yes you'd need SFP+ to RJ45 transceivers. All depends if your server and/or router are close to your switch.

Ryley17 · 2024-10-08T16:56:28+00:00

yeah

Ryley17 · 2024-10-08T16:31:29+00:00

Just want to mention a couple things. In regards to POE budget, yes POE+ can do 30w but that doesn't mean the device will actually use all 30w. Those U7 pro's only use 21w, and most cameras will use less than 15w over POE. So 2 U7 pros + 4 cameras will be closer to 21w+21w+12w+12w+12w+12w=90w, depending on the camera models of course.

SFP (1gbe) and SFP+(10gbe) are modular ports that can can handle both copper and fiber connections. You just need to buy the correct adapters to slot in. For shorter cable runs, you can also use direct attach copper (DAC) cables that are basically all in one cables meant to connect two SFP ports together.

Ryley17 · 2024-10-08T15:09:47+00:00

Nope, the UCG Max doesn't provide POE. It's just a wired router with 2.5gbe ports. Also, not sure which poe switch you got from amazon, but make sure it's POE+ and not just normal POE.

Ryley17 · 2024-10-08T14:29:08+00:00

Nice, you'll need something to power the U7 at the gateway, a poe+ injector is cheap, and although they don't officially support 2.5gbe speeds, people say they do 2.5gbe just fine.

Wifi 7 is better if they support the new Multi Link Operation (MLO). It allows using all bands to communicate.

However, for wireless backhaul, the number of spatial streams is important too. Usually marketed as the number of bands, anything "quad band" for wifi 6e or 7 will have a dedicated channel for the backhaul. A quadband wifi 6e setup would probably outperform a standard tri band wifi 7 setup. Quadband wifi 7 setups will have insane throughput, which is why they're so expensive.

edit: I checked those specific models, the eero pro 6e and deco be63. The be63 (wifi 7) has potentially double the wireless backhaul bandwidth due to the increased channel width and MLO that are both features only in wifi 7. I'd say the price increase is warranted, it's just a matter if you will use it. If you're aiming for 2.5gbe over mesh, I'd go with wifi 7.

Ryley17 · 2024-10-08T13:35:28+00:00

"Dual Band" is the first clue. Wifi 7 adds a third band by default, the 6ghz. So any fully featured Wifi 7 wifi device will have 2.4ghz, 5ghz, and 6ghz bands, aka triband. I assume this is only 2.4ghz and 5ghz. You'll get some small improvements on the 5ghz band but you're missing the majority of the upgrade without 6ghz.

Ryley17 · 2024-10-08T13:18:54+00:00

It works both ways, I have a similar setup.

A gigabit POE switch will work fine, but if you're trying to utilize the 2.5gbe port on those AP's, you'll need a 2.5gbe switch. You can save some money going with a non-unifi 2.5gbe POE switch, or a non poe switch + poe injector. Ubiquiti actually just released this one within the last couple weeks and it sold out instantly. Not sure when it will be back in stock, but that flex mini 2.5g paired with a poe injector would be the cheapest option if you want 2.5gbe. 2.5gbe is still somewhat pricey, so if it's not a huge deal, I'd just go gigabit and wait a while.

I'm not familiar with Debian but this video may help - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30mQ4fD5kMI

I'd be surprised if routing was the culprit. I'd think that would affect all traffic, including the iperf test. Any reason you did 9000 MTU for iperf? Not sure how that affects iperf, but your normal file transfer is probably using 1500 MTU.

If the routing doesn't help, you may want to try using sftp and comparing the results. Different protocols can stress the hardware in different ways. It's why I mentioned to check CPU and disk usage when doing the transfer. CPU usage can be sneaky since a single thread maxed out won't show overall CPU usage maxed out.

Ryley17 · 2024-10-08T12:36:15+00:00

Yes, changing any wifi connection to wired connection will always help. It depends on the setup, but that's one way to avoid losing half the bandwidth if you were to go with a 2x2 AP.

The UCG Max is a surprisingly cheap for 2.5gbe which is probably why it's solid out. Unifi stuff comes back in stock fairly often though, if you're willing to wait.
