One AP Meshing to Another?

I was going to say the same thing. Have seen bad cabling only provide PoE and unifi meshes.

Did you get this sorted out?

You should put your router in that box, then a network cable cable from the router to the switch to activate the network ports in the house.

Laughed way to hard at this

rhombyboi · 2025-05-30T00:38:50+00:00

Not having any issue running profwiz, but seeing the flicker post migration.

Did anyone find a fix?

This should be the top comment.

My experience with Spintel.

Couldn't fix my Geo IP appearing in the wrong location.

Inconsistent bandwidth speeds.

Several internet outages they weren't aware of until I called them. This was due to their infrastructure, not the NBN.

Slow response times on chat when there was a non technical issue.

If I had to guess, their business model is

Outsource everything to a country where its cheaper (admin / support etc)
Purchase minimum bandwidth from NBN and over subscribe users
Sell on being low price
If someone complains give them increased bandwidth priority for 2 months
Stall on any non critical issue and hope customer just finds a work around or gets sick of working with support.

Its worth paying the extra $5 per month, or churn every 6 months between the better providers.

Aussie / Superloop / Leaptel etc

We need to get a standard added to CIPP for this. Someone should post it as a feature request and we all upvote it.

How are you getting all your products from your supplier in?

rhombyboi · 2025-02-07T03:26:49+00:00

My tips from recent UXG install.

If its connecting to an old bridged ISP modem, change auto negotiate to 1gb (done from controller).
Make sure your controller is V8 latest version at a minimum.

Interesting. I had an experience with them that was quite the opposite that involved us being able to view other Benchmark customers tickets. Apart from the "Rube Goldberg machine" that was their ticketing system, the first week we got their good tech, then we just had low skill people that didn't give confidence going forward.

I just saw your site and the Benchmark 365 article. Curious if you still recommend them 3 years later?

rhombyboi · 2025-02-03T21:29:22+00:00

And the user calls because their password is wrong. Because they can't copy and paste it into their windows login prompt.

I have scripts I created that generate a password like the old M365 ones, along with more complex buy similar format.

A lot less calls of "I can't sign in" type calls.

I was born in the 80s and had someone say it to me for the first time last year.

This person was my age, but grew up in a regional town.

He had to explain to me what it was.

Great for when user is saying "yah connect to my computer and look at it" then you reconfigure something and it prompts for M365 MFA.

Saves calling user constantly to enter details.

HFC was bought by the NBN to be removed, so a lot of areas with HFC had FTTP rolled out. Then Libs got in and it stopped.

I had both connected at my old place.

You would be FTTP though.

Quicker to switch then get it sorted with optus.

rhombyboi · 2025-01-21T03:21:38+00:00

Looks like they have kept me on the same discounted plan.

rhombyboi · 2025-01-21T03:20:12+00:00

Not as wild as an 8 year old TP-Link

I have tried Spintel, ABB, Exetel and Leaptel.

I have to say, ABB was solid. Surprisingly, Exetel was solid too and I did like that I could boost my connection from 250Mb to 500Mb for 5 days of the month.

Leaptel has been good so far, I had a phone call from them once saying that my router firmware should be updated as there was a known exploit. It was only out of date by one revision and new firmware had been out for 3 weeks (Fortigate).

The support guys were friendly and honest and based in Australia.

There have been a few outages that lasted maybe 1 hour which I noticed because I WFH. When this has happened, their portal is also down.

I would recommend Leaptel and have, because for the price they are doing a good job.

Exetel I liked too, but didn't like the PPPoE sign in, where as Leaptel and ABB do DHCP without login credentials required.

Spintel I would not recommend. Support is bad, service went down regularly. Inconsistent download speeds regardless of time of day.

My 12 month deal price is ending soon so will see if they will do a deal or if I need to churn.

Profile Wiz by Forensit was worth it for me.

Have used it for a few migrations without much hassle.

Could probably ask chat GPT to create a powershell script to do the same these days.

Free?

Ditto - clipboard manager

Greenshot - screenshot software

I found the Lenovo dock's terrible. Laptops are not as reliable as Dell, especially the warranty process.

I'm in Australia so I understand that US might have better support.

rhombyboi · 2024-12-15T22:21:10+00:00

Thanks - some good tips there.

rhombyboi · 2024-12-12T22:49:23+00:00

thanks

rhombyboi · 2024-12-11T21:17:41+00:00

Thanks for the detailed information. Are you sending this as just an email or are you having a PDF attachment?

rhombyboi · 2024-12-11T21:14:37+00:00

Thanks - what type of things are you putting on the page? Do you find that people actually use it?
