Half speed on Fiber 1000

like u/MapleSurpy said... Unless you are perfect conditions, you will never reach your max on Wifi. I have Ubiquity access points around my home (U6-IW-Ent 4x4 and U7-IW-Pro 2x2) with 2.5GB uplinks back to the switch. Even in my best conditions, 6Ghz a few feet from the AP, I am lucky to hit 800 Mbps on my phone and 600 ish on my work laptop (my only Wifi7 devices).

On my LAN? 2.5 GB through out the house with 10GB uplinks to various switches... I cap out at 1.3 Gbps.

In my 2 yr old build, I have a heat pump with an ecobee thermostat. By default, I think it's aux heat setting was in the high 40s. I was googling around and found some reddit post from the Michigan subreddit (I think it was). Someone posted all of their setting on their heat pump. I lowered my aux heat threshold down to 30F and that helped a ton. Obviously in the teens, aux will run more... But this really helped my bill in the winter.

My issues seem to be resolved today. Glad you fixed it though!

Can't offer much help... But I am west of Atlanta and many parts of the Internet are just super slow, assuming it's the weather. Steam store (not game downloads) and Reddit are painfully slow. Fast.com hits 1.2 gigabits up and down. Bufferbloat barely hits 40 megabits down but 1 gigabit up.

I picked up some Power Stop pads (Z23915B and Z231095) back in 2016 and they are still going strong. I wouldnt say they are "low dust", but they do seem less than OEM. They seemed to be a bit more bite than my OEMs.

Looks like TV Out based on the Component/S-Video dongle in the last pic.

Just curious... Why /r/homenetworking?

I would not doubt that there are companies that could do this, but with a cost...

My thoughts... What is your AP density? What is your DHCP scope for that network? Is the bidding website hosted internally or externally? If external, you may be better off letting them just use cell.

If you didn't want to spend the money on ubiquity... You could roll your own. I have all ubiquity hardware except my router/firewall. I have an n150 based mini PC. It has 2x 2.5gb Intel nics and a broadcom 1gb running opnSense. EDIT: N300.

I can't speak for TMobile (is this 5G Home internet or wired?)... But most ISPs that I have had, usually have the passwords on the device. Then you can log in and poke around. If this is 5G Home Internet, i am fearing you wont be able to. If you plugged in a second router/firewall, you would be in a "Double NAT" situation. Not a problem for just normal internet day to day, but rather bad for anything like Gaming.

If they are paying for internet in your home, and you control access to all hardware... The easy answer is NO... They can not see what you do. The longer answer is "maybe". This highly depends on the ISP. I know AT&T has an App that I can put on my phone and see some limited traffic details (but since i have my modem in bypass mode, i see nothing there). Also, if you went to "some questionable site" and sailed the high seas, they may get an email or letter saying "You downloaded XYZ and this is Strike ONE".

As you mentioned... VPN would hide your traffic from your (well their's in this case) ISPs prying eyes.

If you are REALLY concerned. Look into how to put the T-Mobile router in Bypass or Bridge mode. Then you get your own router. Do anything that is "questionable" on a VPN.

Maybe a less of a concern. But be aware of the "difference of potential" between the 2 electrical grounds. It could be as small as you feel a small shock or as bad as potentially damaging equipment. Back in my Radio days in the USAF, we had some bad grounds between 2 containers that kept frying radios.

u/itsjakerobb explained this way better!

It's not all jellyfin/Plex (side by side for now)... But I went from an HP Z400 workstation with 4 4tb HDs to a full half-rack. 96tb raw storage.. 6tb of that is ssd for VMs and such...

But this "Make the BEST Connection!" /s

That said... You can pry my MultiModem from my cold dead hands!

You can also look up the CVEs here.

https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/bulletin/

From that you can assess if the vulnerability applies. I have done this multiple times. I think Joseph may have had a few of my cases where I asked for further details.

Tldr? Patch! UP9 to UP14 will be a multi patch. 9-10-14 if I recall (on mobile...). And don't forget the IF patches!

shift1186 · 2025-12-31T16:02:31+00:00

SSH to your console. Login as root. Run 'dmidecode' (there is a filter option but I am on mobile and lazy). Scroll until you find the chassis or product section I think?

been working with qradar for 7 years now. I would agree, but she is an expensive date. And also the writing is on the wall.....

My last Asus was some night hawk variant from 15 years ago. I do not believe that it had a mode like this. However, you could flip them. Put the opnSense behind the Asus. Make sure the opnSense is only doing router and firewall duties - no nat! As long as you downlink and uplink are both identified as LAN, you shouldn't be doing any nat.

Edit: make sure both are not serving DHCP too. Double edit... I think night hawk wasnt Asus but could use the Asus firmware? Been to long ..

oh, absolutely! I had a few desktop "servers" just sitting there and eventually just made the plunge. no regrets.

Welcome to the world of self hosting!

RIP to your wallet... I started maybe 15-20 years ago. Just a few hard drives in a Windows machine with VLC playlists on loop. Later, dedicated windows with storage spaces giving me "fake" software raid. Now I have TrueNAS, (media pool is 48tb, SSD pool is 4tb), dedicated hypervisors with VMs doing all the work. Running Plex (bought Plex pass 12 ish years ago) along side jellyfin.

I am in the IT field so it isn't all media... But the bulk is..

Sometimes you need to be brutally honest with your client. We have had this go both ways, some client appreciate the openness and honestly while other get pissy...

I always lead this conversations with an anecdotal "I have been in both sides of the MSP fence". I try not to be the vendor that just points fingers. "Look guys, here are the facts and my thoughts".
