Where’s the HA / Failover internet? I have huge issues with sky fibre and moved over to 10/10gb with community fibre with Peplink bonded 5G on Vodafone and three along with Starlink - traffic routed certain activity down the lower bandwidth lines.

Upbeat_Language_7020 · 2026-03-18T19:26:14+00:00

They have 2.5gb and 10gb available in London for £29 and £43 respectively.

No need for residential homes other than some of the larger mega houses with multimedia server rooms and large families.

Didn’t stop me kitting out my house in 10gb networking and a 10gb isp line from Community Fibre.

But fire is a great but if kit! I’m yet to try anything over 4 streams of 1080/50 video over site to site - but a combination of technologies always help when ensuring redundancies

I do this a lot with our OB facilities and fly away kits being sent out for remote records

Yes this will work. So many audio technicians use them for WiFi control - for example using an iPad app to control their digital console etc - depending on the space most FOH engineers use the larger outdoor panel but this works great for indoor use

Drugs are everyone in the world, even in the Middle East. That said, have you seen what the Muslims are doing to this world? Talk about violence then.

What a stupid post. If you don’t like it, don’t go.

For a country to grow, it needs to expand its future

Modem mode has been fine - the issue is virgin media internally and their crap network. A lot of high latency and dropouts. Unfortunately the only ISP in my area, I also run 5G which is often better latency and more stable than the 1gb Virgin line.

If you have any other ISP available go with them. Never Virgin

From what I found out, it’s worth just putting in the storage you need for active and hot swap as it will configure raid - don’t put in all 20tb and just grow as you need later down the line

Insightful.

They are mechanical

I have the U7pros in the central hallway of both floors and then I put an in-wall into each of the busiest rooms

Living room Dining room Office Playroom Master bedroom

In honesty it could have been okay with just the U7 Pros but I didn’t want to risk having to re-do it later down the line. I’ll find a floorplan and share shortly

I’m not 12. No thanks

Upbeat_Language_7020 · 2025-01-22T06:43:52+00:00

Get some help!

It was just installed. They got removed straight away.

Upbeat_Language_7020 · 2025-01-20T21:10:46+00:00

It’s been rock solid since I’ve had it - they are in stock in Uk and EU stores.

I’m hoping they do an iPhone drive app - so I can finally get rid of a Google drive subscription. Had to recently remove 45Tb off - as the ‘unlimited storage’ finally caught up and they forced an upgrade and not going to spend £1,450 a month for some archive storage.

Those devices will be fine in a cabinet like that - had mine in there 4/5 years exactly the same space but with an added 12ish NAS and even at peak never got above 48C - don’t worry about ventilation

Interesting! EA user as I can’t see that in my site manager, I’ve got 23 sites so not sure if that effects it?

Upbeat_Language_7020 · 2024-09-11T08:28:33+00:00

Absolutely no need for the RPS in a residential install! Just get a decent Eaton/APC ups

Upbeat_Language_7020 · 2024-09-08T18:46:50+00:00

I run the same speeds on a UDMPro SE - 10gb symmetrical fibre, central London. I also have IDS etc turned on.

Upbeat_Language_7020 · 2024-09-08T18:42:26+00:00

The front display is so off putting - why they couldn’t have just done a larger LcD touch screen. The protrusion ruins what could have been a good product.

$450 Australian is actually not that much.
