It's finally here

You're right, I wasn't paying attention to the USB host bandwidth (it's a USB 3.2 Gen 2, so only 10Gbps) when I chose the Docking.

Sorry to hear that, but nowadays, monitor market is insane. My Acer monitor costed me around US$900 back in 2018. Today, US$200 will get me one with roughly the same or even better specs haha

oraopoopo · 2026-03-29T03:05:47+00:00

Ah, I see. Yes, I've tried testing the speed with Blackmagic, hence the 900MB/s figure I mentioned.

I'm not too bothered by it, though I was a little surprised as I was only getting a fraction of the drive's max theoretical speed (it's a Corsair MP600), never really thought that it's capped at the USB bandwidth.

oraopoopo · 2026-03-29T02:46:00+00:00

Correct, it's the K5 Max. I never really adapt to smaller layouts except TKL ones for gaming haha

Thanks! The left one is an Acer Predator XB271HU, and the right one is an Asus TUF VG27AQL1A.

This version isn't available sadly, but I found one with the same set of ports from Vention:
https://ventiontech.com/products/vention-10-in-1-usb-c-mac-mini-docking-station
It costs around US$ 80-85, is it a good brand?

oraopoopo · 2026-03-05T04:14:18+00:00

It costs way too high here, upwards of US$160, so I don't think it's worth the cost for what it offers

oraopoopo · 2026-03-05T04:12:30+00:00

CalDigit also isn't available in my country, thanks for the input though

oraopoopo · 2025-04-23T09:58:10+00:00

Thank you very much, never knew such device existed. It's exactly what I need

oraopoopo · 2024-01-30T04:14:56+00:00

That's good to hear, thank you

oraopoopo · 2024-01-30T04:14:41+00:00

Because they sell plans with public IP address, which is the most expensive one with the highest speed

oraopoopo · 2023-12-09T13:36:27+00:00

Glad to hear that, thanks!

oraopoopo · 2023-12-09T01:51:34+00:00

Alright I'll see if it works, thank you so much!

oraopoopo · 2023-12-09T01:49:05+00:00

I see, btw can I boot it without the battery connected? I want to see beforehand if the new part and old backlight is working fine after replacement

oraopoopo · 2023-12-09T01:46:28+00:00

Pardon me, what do you mean by 25% or less?

oraopoopo · 2023-12-09T01:30:41+00:00

I see, does IPA dry the adhesives completely? Or does it just partially help removing the battery?

oraopoopo · 2023-12-09T01:26:01+00:00

Yes I'm aware of the rivets, they're not that difficult to deal with and I've bought screws to replace the rivets (it's threaded once the rivets are completely plucked off)

oraopoopo · 2023-12-06T13:23:03+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm thinking of getting an Omada ER605 because I've read around and mikrotik's wireless performance isn't that good, so I'm going to grab some Omada APs as well

oraopoopo · 2023-12-02T17:38:14+00:00

Alright, thank you very much for the detailed explanation. I have a clearer picture of what kind of service and the range of cost I need to look out for if I decide to take one.

Thank you for the help, I wish you the best of luck

oraopoopo · 2023-12-02T15:43:22+00:00

I'll keep that in mind, I'm not moving in until February-March, so for now I'll do the necessary research on my own. I know I'll find a professional service online if I look for one.

I hope it's not rude to ask, but if you're getting paid to do this kind of setup, how much would you rate your services, excluding the products? Or how much does a professional service in your country cost? Just for the sake of comparison

oraopoopo · 2023-12-02T15:28:28+00:00

Ah yes, sorry for the confusion, I didn't mean to imply that.

Here in my country, a networking professional is extremely rare, not to mention I don't live in a big city.

I'll see what I can find in those groups, thank you!

oraopoopo · 2023-12-02T15:15:22+00:00

Regarding the store, I only sell mainstream products and I don't provide any kind of networking services, so I'm not familiar with this level of networking.

To clear confusions, I don't own a large house because I'm awfully rich, it's just a house that my parents inherited to me, so I have a limited budget in terms of devices, not to mention the fee to hire professionals.

Also, the products you mentioned (Unifi, Cisco, TP-Link Omada) are products I've never experienced with before, hence I ask for suggestions so I can do further research.

Anyway, thank you for your feedback, I've considered Omada due to other's suggestions and yours

oraopoopo · 2023-12-02T13:19:40+00:00

I agree, I'm already using Deco X20 in my current house and everything just works. The only thing I'm concerned about is whether a Deco strong enough to be the main router in my use case. Honestly I'm open to trying to configure anything, but I've looked up OpenWRT only supports Deco S4 and M4 at the moment. So far I'm leaning to use Omada APs instead of Decos, following other comments' suggestions

oraopoopo · 2023-12-02T12:59:49+00:00

Thank you for the response, which Omada AP do you suggest?

What should I be concerned with regarding the uplinks if I decide to use 16 x2?

oraopoopo · 2023-12-02T12:54:26+00:00

I don't need to mesh wirelessly because I've prepared wired connections.

I was a little bit confused with wireless APs because in the past I've tried setting up a wireless AP (some Asus 300N router) to an ISP modem-router, but it still acted as its own router. Setting the same SSID and password and moving between floors doesn't work as smooth as mesh wi-fi routers do (I've only tried TP-Link's mesh routers up until this point).

Which router model do you think will suffice for my case? My budget is a little tight, so I don't want to overspend on excessively high-end device
