  1. Then there is the issue of will the customer damage or remove the cable that is installed. I have ave seen many houses were the homeowner removed every spec of wiring for coax and dsl/tel. Completely finish the house then complain cause the isp won’t give them service or put requirements. fix the drywall and paint the wall they opened up to get you your service. This is is why isp and others are only responsible to a certain point.
  2. I have been told the average run in a house for networking is ~100ft. your setup should work. I would say it is a cable issue, any damage, terminated correctly and not a crossover cable. you in the right ports? is your isp modem also acting as a firewall and your router?
  3. vdsl 25 down 2 up. Has always had that speed 24/7. unlimited data Only thing that sucks is my isp is upgrading to fiber. My area will be last due to the difficulty of installing the network.
  4. probably a programming error on there end. It happens. the tech should have tested it before he/she left.
  5. when doing speed test only 1 device should be connected. temp disable wifi and ensure no other device except speed test is connected. Is this directly from your providers equipment? of using your in house wiring? I only ask is some people only connect 2 out of 4 pairs in cat5. Works up to 100 mbps.
  6. I work for an isp. We do not move main equipment around. Reasons are we do not know how good the lines are in your house and if there are any splices, splits other type of cable in the house. DSL service. plus with the fiber there are multiple pieces of equipment in play. What we do to an extend it run a few lines and install a wifi extender. prime example is my house. Just the coax they used rg59, with 5 4 way splitters. not even a proper end just strip, sick it and electrical tape it. It should hold. And those cheap rca splitter what is the speed you are paying for? there is a certain point were the grade of equipment most isp use cannot preform to peoples requirements. if you can look at running a few cat5/6 runs around the house, will make it easier to add devices like switches and not rely on the converting technology.
  7. i have the controller running on my unraid machine. That is the plan. Plan is about 40ft apart. this should cover my house and my property. Just have to fish the wire up from my basement to the attic.
  8. I picked up a few AP from a local store last week, they were on sale for almost the exact same price as online. within 1-2 dollars. I am planning on installing them this weekend and have a question If I have 2 or more, are they smart enough to allow the wireless device to switch between them? if I am in the basement that has one and I go to the garage that also has one will it be able to switch from the basement to the garage or which one gives you the best signal?
  9. My old but still works is kind of at its limit. i3 2100t. I am using plex more and looking at trying VM's and other os. Plan is to build from the ground up using a new case and equipment. Right now I am wondering if this might be a good idea Dual pairity using WD gold Cache drives using WD black General storage wd red Not doing the build right away but once fiber hits my house I will have the speed to run multiple streams of plex to my self and a few family members.
  10. any brad to look at? So far have seen up to 3.5-4gB/s
  11. this is more of a curiosity as to how fast data can transfer I know the z107 board has 3 m.2 drives built in. I don't need much as most of what I use in on my nas. The setup will probably have a m.2 as a boot and anything else will be a mechanical if needed. One of the perks with my company is we get to use the company discount at our supplier for computer parts. Most of the time it is cheaper but takes some time to get it in your hands. company orders it gets shipped to head office then district then my office. can take 2-3 weeks.
  12. Since I am saving and planning a brand new build for late this year/early next year I got looking into options for storage and have a few questions. I am ideally looking for a raid setup using m.2 drives. prefer on board but if I can use an adapter card that would work as well. thinking min 2 drives I went to youtube and found a holy @hit episode and how the quad socket board could have 2tb or ram. This got me thinking. If one got this board and actually had 2 tb of ram and create a ram disk of say 512gb would this be faster then following options. I am only throwing this out there as this is how big my ssd will be for my setup mentioned above. bunch of ssd in a raid 0 configuration. I see most raid cards are a 8x pcie I did find a quad m.2 x16 card that doesn't have built in raid but has the x16 speed still raid 0. I know the ram disk won't keep the data after a loss of power. at $50k this is well above my budget but doesn't hurt to research this option Linus really needs to do a video of a few configurations like this and what can achieve the best results for price and speed.
  13. Been having issues with installing server using on board raid0 I have the drives setup via the MB on board raid to 0 Ubuntu sees it and then installs, I so far have 1 of 2 errors depending on what I do 1. Most common is unable to install grub, when I try to install to alternate location It doesn't do anything. 2. Install goes good but fails after reboot. board is old intel h67 chip I believe. It has 2 sata 6gbps that I use 2 ssd for in a raid 0 configuration.
  14. I did find this 435.00 USD. It seems to not have hardware raid but software only. if reading only samsung 960 pro Max 3,500 MB/sec *4 14000MB/sec wiki x16 bandwith 15.75 GB/s (×16) This is all an estimated guess
  15. probably not in my mind. Unless there is something added to the bay to hold the malicious code.
  16. With current and soon to be released hardware end of 2017, is it possible to using a raid card, ssd's to fully saturate a x16 3.0 slot? Provided the data only goes between the cpu or gpu and not the network
