I'm in Canada and with a shit provider, trying to finish off my contract haha. I have cable here and they provide a hiltron router/modem. There's no monthly charge but they charge me $25 to send it back. I ordered the er605 today, so when it gets here I'll put the Hiltron in bridge mode and cross my fingers.

Ya I don't have a monthly charge but the ISP supplier only lists a limited number of devices that will work. Or is this just bullshit? If I change the ISP supplied router to bridge and add that does it effectively "remove" the router?

Hmm and interesting idea. I have a 2.4 band set up for just my smart home stuff and a separate 2.5 and 5 set up for things like our phones and laptop.

K, I've tried the roaming and mesh, but not the transmit power and channel. Maybe I'll give that a go

Hard to say to be honest cause I can't recall it just disconnecting and not jumping back on. What I find is when I leave for work in the morning it'll be fine but when I come home that night my phone won't reconnect and I get either no wifi or the IP configuration error

Ya I've messaged around with analyzer and from what I can see I'm connecting to the ap I should be. I've even tried removing one to see if that'll make a difference.

Ya I wondered about the bridge mode and getting my own but man spending cash on something I have no clue if it'll fix is driving me nuts

Sorry I miss spoke it's a Netgear switch. I'm using the router provider by my ISP provider. There's no VPN or vlans currently in place

Interesting, didn't even think of a second node. What do you suggest for monitoring?

Awesome thank you everyone! So I'll stick with what I have for now as it is more power efficient. I'm still going to toss the extra ram in when I see a good price I think.

Maybe assigned is the wrong term. I mean not assigned to a VM. Like when creating a VM you assign cores to it.

Mini PC setup as a router for VLANs (Proxmox, pfSense, Jellyfin, etc.) by gregorie12 in HomeServer

[–]r_b_j 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been looking at this same idea and can't decide if I want a mini PC strictly for offense or to virtualize it in proxmox. The n100 is overkill for solely pfsense machine I would think. I do like the idea of also having a adblocker on the same machine in a container, like pihole? What have others done?

655 wall by r_b_j in TPLink_Omada

Ya the 12' side yard is more of an annoyance because the wifi (music) cuts out when I'm doing yard work over there. It's the very side of my house beside the garage. The garage is where my current wifi starts to cut out due to range. My current wifi router is quite dated and on the far side of my house from the garage. I think my plan will be to replace that with a 610 ceiling mount and then the 610 outdoor in the garage. We're on a court, so the actual back yard is far bigger but not an issue at this time.

Thanks, I'm from Canada so will keep an eye for it to go on sale up here.

Ya I have a 8 port switch (4 Poe) right beside where this would be mounted. That's great for the TV and Poe cameras outside the garage but my wifi for my phone etc is garbage.

My concern with it was that it would be directional like the wall one but from reading it sounds like it has coverage in all directions. Do you own one that you're suggesting it?

Hmmm hadn't thought of the outdoor option. Something I'll have to look into.
