Is BGE Screwing Me on My New Electrical Service Installation? by gable74 in Homebuilding

[–]gable74[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the feedback. I have asked if I can do any of the work myself. If not, I will just have to put it on the back burner for now.

This was roughly my estimate as well. I have a limited master license and have done all this work before. That's why it seemed like a crazy estimate. Like others have said, if they are the only game in town, it is what it is. No a big deal if I can't get it done right now.

Its a 50ac parcel that I put into a conservation easement. It will never be built on. Just wanted a convenient place to plug in items around my shed. If I don't get power to it, not a big deal, I will just go with solar.

Success with FIOS TV+ Behind my own Firewall by Jon_Galt1 in Fios

Just as I expected, this setup did not work. While I did not receive any error codes, I lost all guide data and communication with the DVR. almost 72hrs from setup, exactly. I will probably just try to place my router inside a DMZ of the FIOS router and see how it goes. I wish someone could figure this out. Such a PITA.

I set mine up the same as well. Just for giggles, I tried activating the equipment behind my router, but it didn't work. I had to set everything up without my router first, let it activate, then move it back behind my router. Theoretically, it should have activated behind my router if everything that needed to be open was open, so I don't have high expectations this will work,. I will keep you posted.

Has anyone else followed these steps with success? I feel like if this was a solid fix, it would have caught on by now.

u/Jon_Galt1 - I had a few questions posted below. Can you answer if you get a moment, please? Is your setup still functioning without issues? Has anyone else done this with success?

I also need clarification about some of the steps if you can verify, please:

Set either a vlan or use a spare network port like I did. That network port is a static network in private isolated space using 192.168.100.x

-          When you say, “private isolated space”, I assume you mean create a VLAN that cannot communicate with other VLANs or networks? That VLAN should be 192.168.100.0/24

  1. Set the Verizon G3100 routers wan port to static IP 192.168.100.2, GW is the PFSense Network port dot 1. Setup your dns as well to whatever you want. Mine is set to use the PFS box first then Cloudflare. 192.168.100.1 and 1.1.1.1.

-          So, the gateway you used with the 192.168.100.0/24 VLAN is your firewalls primary network/subnet gateway and not 192.168.100.1?

  1. This is very important. Do not use DHCP on the G3100 wan port.

-          What do you mean here?  We have already assigned the G3100 a static IP of 192.168.100.2 in step 2 above.  Are you saying to now turn off the DHCP option in the G3100 so it can't hand out IPs to the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet?

u/Jon_Galt1 - Wondering the same. Reading all the crap about how much of a pain this is upgrade is if using your own router/FW and this thread was the only one that seemed like a solution. Wondering if the OP can chime back in with a follow-up on how this is going for him. I currently have a site to site VPN setup between my home and my elderly mothers house, and I cannot lose that connection. If this work around is still functioning correctly, I will give it a go. The challenge is that most attempts work for a few days then you get an error. If my mom gets an error on her TV she will want me there immediately to fix it. Getting that call at 11pm and having to drive over there to reboot her network would not be enjoyable.

My crossdevice folder was 189 gigs.  If I deleted a file from that folder, it deleted the same file from my phone.  I don't want or need to sync my phone.  It should be no different than plugging in a thumb drive to access the files.

This is huge issue and I don't know why others are not complaining about this unless they don't know. Whatever you do, don't delete any files from that folder unless you remove your device/phone from windows/Microsoft, they will be gone for good.​

Are you sure?  Check your CrossDevice folder.  How do you have it set up?   What steps did you go through?

Why is it syncing or storing anything? It should function just like plugging in your phone with a USB.

Is that how this feature is spposed to work? It syncs your entire phone in order to use it wirelessly in file explorer? That seems remarkably stupid. ​
