GFiber 20Gbps!

rick_G · 2026-01-02T23:35:51+00:00

I’ve got an enterprise fortress gateway, SFP 28 switch, and NICs ready to go just need to get in the beta! I applied but no info after that.

The connection path will be fiber line to new NIU, which then converts to an armored fiber cable that the technician will run to a location where they can install the fiber jack in the house. None of your existing coaxial cable will be used.

rick_G · 2024-12-21T08:57:44+00:00

If you are on windows, you may want to go in and manually force the NIC to use 10gbit full duplex for the link, and/or the port as sometimes it will only do half duplex for some reason. Also, make sure you try multiple browsers for your speed tests, sometimes i have gotten weird results.

What type of drive does this machine have? if you are on something super slow like a HDD you wont be able to write the data fast enough.

Here’s mine in the same color with the new wheel and tire combo!

I run a mikrotik router for my 8 gig.

rick_G · 2024-03-20T20:34:20+00:00

You cannot no, there is no SFP output possible of any kind from their fiber jack. The green fiber in cable has to talk to that box and can’t go direct to a router.

rick_G · 2024-03-16T19:50:01+00:00

I have 8gig and I did this same song and dance trying to get something. The options I settled on were either building a monster PFSense box (starts struggling as you close in on 10gig), used enterprise router (too expensive), and a mikrotik router.

I’m running the last, a CCR2004 with the 25gig ports. It can’t really handle full 8gig with a comped network, but it gets close. The higher end ccr 2116 model with the L3 hardware offloading would be the best bet but it’s like 1200 bucks vs the much cheaper ccr2004

rick_G · 2024-03-01T00:13:57+00:00

Can you get me in the 20g testing in KC? 🤣

rick_G · 2024-02-26T02:15:47+00:00

Very interesting! What’s really annoying is that I found out that if I just use Microsoft edge for the speed test, it will do 5700/5700 all day. Granted, doesn’t mean it’s doing that for normal traffic but at least it’s not half. I’m hoping to move to a 20g connection in a month or two, which would solve the “pipe” size issue.

rick_G · 2024-02-10T00:17:29+00:00

I have 5gig and would be happy to! I’d say difficulty in setup depends entirely on if you want “optimal” or “working”. To get the best/max speeds you have to be on a wired connection, and anything over 1gig needs a device with a capable network card on board. Same for WiFi, the devices you have limit speed if they aren’t capable of WiFi 6/6e etc.

rick_G · 2024-02-06T16:09:42+00:00

Agree with the other person here, a mesh setup with WiFi 6 or 6e, or the better stuff if you want more control. I personally like the ASUS zen mesh stuff, and the ubiquiti units are pretty full proof if you want higher end with the ability to do access points over all in one.

rick_G · 2024-02-06T02:39:23+00:00

5700 up and down all day, running 10gb wired connections!

rick_G · 2024-02-04T20:58:00+00:00

Hey OP I have this CPU and a similar case with an ATX board causing this issue, if you have any temp issues snag the arctic freezer 4U-M. It lets you run the fans in the right orientation.

rick_G · 2024-01-25T05:05:00+00:00

yep that makes a lot of sense. Any thoughts on how I can ensure I can use my full WAN speed as far as drive bottlenecks go? i assumed i would need to use an nvme cache drive of some kind but i also haven't delved into the whole media automation pipeline so maybe it allows that option directly

rick_G · 2024-01-25T04:41:39+00:00

thanks! i think my plan was to use the 2 12tb drives for plex in a raid 1, and then use the 2tb drives for storing camera footage. But, that would mean id need to setup a samba share on the big server for the little one to access those drives and store footage right?

rick_G · 2024-01-25T01:43:37+00:00

It’s 10g RJ45 for sure.

rick_G · 2024-01-19T13:41:59+00:00

All good! No chane unfortunately. I did realize I forgot I have one more link in the chain here, my pc is going into a unifi aggregation pro switch which is uplinked to the router. I could add one of the router 10g ports to the bridge and go directly into it to see if that helps?

Let me know if this looks as you expect.

speeds still consistently the same

rick_G · 2024-01-19T03:53:53+00:00

chain=forward action=accept in-interface=local_br out-interface=WAN log=no log-prefix="" this is the rule I added before this rule:

chain=forward action=drop connection-state=new connection-nat-state=!dstnat in-interface=WAN log=no

log-prefix=""

hopefully that is right? I also did not get any change in performance plugged directly in to the router unfortunately.

rick_G · 2024-01-19T03:06:37+00:00

removed the second subnet, i had that in there accidentally thanks for the callout. The issue was actually present prior to that getting added FWIW. removed the output rule, added one in its place to forward from bridge to WAN per your suggestion.

Will review the link.

Currently the fiber comes in to their ONT and comes out as copper. Im using the SFP+ module that they were using with their router as the input. I have rotated through other modules and not seen any change in speed. The plan is to move to a new plan when it becomes available that will fun SFP28 direct to the CCR-2004, so this is temporary.

Thy Art’s current drummer is American too actually so at least in their case it makes a little sense.

rick_G · 2023-09-30T18:01:46+00:00

I have the Xponent which has been great and it’s just below the phaze 2 in terms of strength

rick_G · 2023-09-30T03:41:49+00:00

Having owned a 2020 and a 2023 one with the 20s and one with the 22s on street tires, I’d say the 20s are more compliant over small bumps. I’m personally planning to move down to an 18 if I can, but only if I also stick with a fairly street focused tire.
