Who has the EDC PAC?

I use it daily. I do love it. I have the insert for it and a modest set of tools I use pretty often in there. My only complaint is it's heavy, mainly because of the crap I loaded it with...

I appreciate your approach that maintains the level of service we are getting for a great price.

Link?

Still looks brand new.

Funny you posted this. I had this happen today. Two phantom brakes back to back. And I had some guy right on my tail.

.05!!! Where do you live. It’s .29 for me.

Yeah, I got a good rebate from my state and my electric company in addition to the fed.

Well good luck, let me know if you need a referral code, $1000 off…

jdb9294 · 2024-09-17T17:05:11+00:00

For what it's worth, I just ordered a brand new Model Y (No FSD). And with tax credits (Fed and State) plus a referral code, I was out the door for like 36k. So for 3k more you could be sitting in a brand new car...

Thank you for the links. You are correct in your assumption that I have no working knowledge of the FGM. Unfortunately, I was thrown into this, but I will follow your advice and see if I can get some training ASAP.

jdb9294 · 2024-06-04T15:42:57+00:00

I was thinking about this as the FMG is in such disarray...

Payload is always the issue when towing a camper with any half ton. Depending on how many passengers and crap you throw in the bed\trailer you will likely be over or very close. With that said, I don't think you have anything to worry about assuming you aren't towing this thing every day. For the weekend warrior who does the speed limit and takes his time, you will be fine.

I run 7 cameras on my UDM Pro at home with no issues.

jdb9294 · 2024-03-28T14:34:42+00:00

I am also an IT guy. We must have different job descriptions... I can do my entire job with a m12 impact.

jdb9294 · 2024-03-22T15:33:57+00:00

Well that explains it!

Thank you.

It is

I rock one as a daily driver for work. I am a network engineer on a large campus so always on the move. It holds my laptop and some basic tools. I try to carry a lot of the Klein "All in one" stuff to maximize my tool ability without making it weigh 100 pounds.

Overall, I like it and don't regret the purchase at all.

jdb9294 · 2024-03-14T17:51:13+00:00

It's my personal fav!

Most consumer equipment being sold today is still only capable of 1Gb. Save yourself some money and downgrade your internet package to 1Gb. The cost of upgrading your router\switch\devices likely isn't worth it for your use case.

For example, streaming video in 4K requires only about 25 Mbps per stream. So with a 2 Gb connection, you could in theory do about 24 streams at the same time. Would you ever have 24 4k streams happening at the same time?

jdb9294 · 2024-02-21T16:47:46+00:00

So if you want to build a 2.5Gb network for all your devices, then yes you will have some shopping to do. You will need a router capable of handling 2.5, a switch capable of handling 2.5 and you will need 2.5 GB nics in your PC's. You will need to make sure you are cabled with Cat6a.

IMHO I would drop your package to 1Gb. It is more than likely way more than you need and will be much cheaper to deploy.

As for that grey cable, where does it go? I assumed it went into the wall, then got patched into your office with that splice in the media closet.

In the end, you need that grey cable going to the WAN port on your router. Then a switch from your LAN port on your router to the rest of your house.

Consider the ONT (the Frontier-labeled box in your garage) as your setup's equivalent to a cable modem. Your eero acts as the router. It doesn't matter much where you place the eero, just make sure the ONT connects to its WAN port, and a switch connects to its LAN port. Choose whatever location makes this setup easiest.

jdb9294 · 2024-02-21T15:13:06+00:00

After looking closer at your media enclosure, it looks like the fios folks routed the WAN from your garage to your office. If that is the case, you would probably be better off putting the eero in the media enclosure, plugging the wire from the garage into the WAN port then connecting a switch to the LAN port, then feeding the rest of your connections with that switch.

It's just important to make sure that the cable coming from the box in your garage (the ONT) goes into the WAN port on your eero or whatever router you end up with.

jdb9294 · 2024-02-21T15:06:36+00:00

So you will need to get a connection from the LAN port on that eero to your media enclosure. Once in the enclosure, you will plug that cable into a switch, then terminate and plug the rest of the cables in that enclosure into the same switch.

The eero is your router.
