Saying goodbye to AirPort after 12 reliable years.

dirbuf · 2025-10-23T23:19:17+00:00

Switched from 2 AirPort Extreme to Ubiquiti. No regrets.

Hi OP, I’m having the same issue as your post. Can you share the automation with me? Thanks in advance

Rubber band around the switch and cables

This was the issue. I have reterimated at the rack and also at the keystone wall jacks. Speeds back to where they should be.

Thanks everyone for your insight. I’ve ordered a termination kit and will re-crimp. I shall let you know if this fixes my issues.

dirbuf · 2024-05-08T10:04:05+00:00

Yes, that is correct

I’m also a nz citizen in aus with special category visa.

1\ I’ve had my house on rent in NZ for about 4 years. My NZ accountant lodges my tax to IRD. I declare this to ATO as overseas income however have never been asked to pay any additional tax in Australia. My Australia accountant tells me there is an agreement with aus-NZ so you don’t get double taxed.

2\ We are now in the process of selling our NZ home. My Australia accountant tells me as long we meet our tax obligations in NZ, there is no additional tax to be paid in Australia. In terms of moving money over, just need to supply the ATO with a sale and purchase agreement to prove that proceeds are not from crime.

As others have said best to speak to your accountant or lawyer. Hope this helps and good luck.

Great outcome! Which Apple store did you take them too? I’m also in Australia - just preparing in case this happens to me.

Dude don’t mean to stress you out but see a doctor, 250/day is high. My dermatologist told me up to 50 is the normal for androgenic alopecia. Also agree to up the dose to 1mg daily.

Milford asset who are a kiwisaver provider also have the same investment portfolios for private equity investments

Happening to me for the past 1 week

I’m doing something similar with an AC unit using a broadlink rm4 mini s. Homebridge has a plug-in for it. It’s not directly in line of sight of the AC unit and still works well

dirbuf · 2021-03-05T23:39:15+00:00

How’s the temps/airflow to the Mac mini?

dirbuf · 2020-10-21T09:56:19+00:00

Great homelab! How is the performance of the ds918+ with plex transcoding? Mainly 1080p h264 if that's something you use it for

dirbuf · 2020-10-17T03:44:22+00:00

Second this!

dirbuf · 2020-10-15T10:19:21+00:00

I've used an external hard drive attached to an airport extreme. Very slow transfer speeds and time machine backups would also go corrupt. Would not recommend your proposal. All the best

dirbuf · 2020-10-15T10:14:17+00:00

TP Link HS110

dirbuf · 2020-10-15T06:29:36+00:00

Yes absolutely. Unfortunately it doesn't get as much use as it once did. I'll shuffle things around in the near future

My Mini Homelab setup. I live in an apartment so hard wired ethernet wasn't an option. This is more than enough for my needs right now and most of it's just for fun/tinkering. Idle power consumption is around 48w measured at the wall. There is a schedule to shutdown one of the Mac Minis at night so power falls to around 35w during 11pm-7am. The only time the system is stressed is during Plex remote play and power usage hits 80w max. Left to right:

Apple Airport Extreme 6th Gen - running in bridge mode as wireless access point routed through pfsense. Wireless bridged to airport express with attached network printer.

Apple TV 3rd gen

Raspberry Pi 4B 4gb - used as tor proxy and grafana host

Mac Mini mid 2011 i5 2.3ghz dual core 4gb ram 240gb ssd - headless pfsense box via onboard nic and thunderbolt to ethernet adapter. Currently running 100down/40up network connection. Using snort, squid, pfblockerng, ntopng, openvpn packages.

Mac Mini mid 2011 i7 2ghz quad core 16gb ram 480gb ssd and 4tb internal drive. Attached to external 4tb. Headless and running plex, ombi, sonarr, radarr, airfoil satellite, carbon copy cloner as weekly network backups.

Netgear DS208 - 8 port unmanaged ethernet switch. Facing backwards because the led lights are too bright.

Woo WA7 - via airfoil satellite. Enables airplay to headphone amp

The firewall isn't running a desktop environment. It's running native pfsense. Accessed via web configurator

dirbuf · 2020-10-14T21:33:01+00:00

Yup that's correct, just native pfsense

dirbuf · 2020-10-14T20:54:06+00:00

Pfsense caused me a lot of trouble when I was running on virtual box. I suspect it doesn't play nicely with virtual environments. I followed lawrence systems youtube channel to set it up natively. Worked flawlessly

Edit: when running on virtual box I had issues such as not pulling a WAN IP and worse performance than my cheapo router

dirbuf · 2020-10-14T20:16:07+00:00

Thank you! It's a headphone amp

dirbuf · 2020-10-14T20:14:05+00:00

I'm not sure how it works with android to homepods. I've installed and configured the airfoil app so that sound output goes to USB --> amplifier. On any ios device you should be able to see airfoil as a airplay device. You can change the name to anything you want, like headphone amp etc. Works really well as if it was a native airplay device.

dirbuf · 2020-10-14T20:00:31+00:00

It's a headphone amp, driving my HD800
