  1. wifi or wired? one needs to use a wired connection with only 1 device trully connected. no wireless or any other device but the testing machine connected
  2. there are a few restrictions with these. no surge, extension cords. no idea if afci/gfci circuits work.
  3. based on my experiance with sasktel, don't compete with bell but still in canada I can say this DSL, like bell is offering, I have yet to have any issues obtaining my speeds. fiber, same as dsl, how ever the services I use can't max out the connection. Not sasktel's fault but the server I am connecting to Shaw, like rogers same as sasktel fiber. DSL shouldn't slow down unless bell is underfeeding there network. I have always got full speed 24/7 on dsl cable, could be an issue. docsis 3.1 is 10gbps to the node. Feeding 1-100+ customers. Local cable provider advertises upto 300 and everyone I have talked to gets 150-200 tops. Also I don't relly on ISP equipment anymore than I have to, both shaw and sasktel are in bridgemode and use my own AP,switches setup
  4. wifi is a problem in general. best bet is to get your own router, put the isp one into bridge mode and go from there.
  5. try rebooting your pc? disable/enable your wireless card? maybe yours is just on the brink of going out there is ethernet over power line adapters
  6. planning on a amd 3900/3950x build and x570 it is for a nas and all my current HBA cards are 8x gen3 I am assuming that it will still take up 8 pci gen 4 lanes. Now I am wondering if I install this in the x16 slot will I loose 8 lanes or can I move them to another slot? it has been a long time since I built a new computer
  7. didn't linus have a video utilizing multiple isp accounts. few years old now. I myself was looking into this and everyone said yes for my setup. wanted to run multiple instances of the same program. program 1a isp 1 1b isp 2 Also technically our isp bonded dsl is 2 seperate internet lines that the DSL modem and.card deals with it.
  8. You can’t say that depending on the situation. Isp I work for does not guarantee much over wifi. Hardwired yes to a point.
  9. reminds me about some of the complaints I get working for an isp. Do you know what package you are on (I know before showing up) answer is I don't know but it is slow. on a very old and I mean old package we don't offer anymore. 256kbps or 1.5mbps. These are also the people who complain about there speed and having to pay more to upgrade. BTW not saying this is the case. You also need the 5ghz wifi to get the 200mbps
  10. Support EEB (12″x13″), CEB(12″x10.5″), ATX (12″x9.6″), Micro ATX (9.6″ x 9.6″), Mini-ITX (6.7″ x 6.7″) motherboard direct from there site http://www.norcotek.com/product/rpc-4224/
  11. strictly an unraid board. I do require an extra drive even m.2 for plex meta data. cpu will probably be 3900x. waiting for a few peoples response before purchasing. case is norco 4224 with a max of hot swap drives of 24.If I can find a good equivalent then will go with that.will need to be rack mountable. I am upgrading my current setup to this and have a few components to move over mainly the hba cards 3 cards that support 8 drives each. I don't need all 3 in the new system as long as I can get 24 drives plus an extra drive for plex.
  12. I will have a older decommission unraid setup next month. not in to much of a rush but in the next few months would like to get this done
  13. I would like to upgrade my laptop SSD from 250gb to a 1tb. Lenovo t450s what is the best way to transfer over windows from the old drive to the new one? I would also like to run linux on it as well, part of the reason for the upgrade
  14. I also believe you can only have 5 devices on moca. There is also the fact everything has a rj45 port on them. As we also slowly get to 10gbe network in out house coax probably wont work anymore I also saw my coax tv provider does not need coax anymore for there set top boxes. can use ethernet without an issue as long as it is still good quality. "as long as a computer can work on it at full 100/1000 then it will work for our system" This just leaves satellite tv providers. People still think they only need coax in there basement when they develop it, till they start to connect things like android boxes and game consoles.
  15. probably more a do not disconnect fiber from the equipment. Power wise you won't have an issue.
  16. seems like a fairly recent laptop, should have gig connection Could it be the cable? are there 4 pairs in it or just 2? blue/brown/green/orange. Possible bad one as well. Is your modem a fiber one? http://www.ztegpon.com/index.php?page=660 that says it does have a 1000mbps connection option.
  17. I would like to see I have 1 house with fiber internet, a streaming iptv service. To get the full channels the box needs to come from this house I also have another house that I can use this iptv service but is limited and not all channels are available. What would I need to possibly do a setup and think house 2 is actually house 1 for this iptv service? it is 2 different isp's. I also know this may not work and just my curiosity
  18. any other devices connected? temp disable your wifi, and only have your test computer connected. get that a fair bit myself, complain they cant get there full speed, find out they have over 30 devices connected and some are taking up all the bandwidth. Also make sure you have a proper ethernet cable using all 8 conductors in use.
  19. as far as switches it depends. Cheap ones are just cheap. for the most part general home use shouldn't matter I work for an isp and we like home runs to the basement/dmark to install equipment. have ran into issues were they do a run from the fiber ONT to a location. That run goes bad for some reason now every other wiring in the house wont work unless that gets replaced. My house for example has over 20 cat6 runs all to 1 location. No one sees it unless I am in the furnace room. I also don't want this behind my tv and gives me lots of options to hard wire and install wireless AP if needed. We are getting to the days with many devices on wifi, slowing down wifi when you could hard wire more devices. Plus speeds are only geting faster. Wifi won't be able to keep up. My NAS is also in that room, it is big and noise and another advantage having it in the furnace room. I recommend this, 2 runs to each room. ISP has tv services, QOS control is best having the tv on one line and internet on another. Main tv locations I ran 6, smart tv (wall mount, 1 line goes to it), xbox one, android box, PS4, Home theater receiver is 4 right there. Yes I could install a switch behind the TV but it is already a mess back there. what is your budget like? co-worker ran a bunch of lines in his 70's house. Back then there was no such thing as internet. He installed all unifi equipment and installed 2 AP upstairs, 2 downstairs and 1 in his garage. House AP are in closets using POE switch.
  20. if you run it outside you will need an outdoor rated cable. Myself included have run into issues with long cables ran from point a to b and just due to people walking on it, moving it around and so on has caused issues with the cable. If possible running a few lines from were you need it now to a location in your house will prevent future issues, install this in the wall with keystone jacks. Depending on the situation it is going to take some work but worth it in the end My house never had these, did some renos and installed jacks everywhere. Now everything that can is hardwired and also have a few AP around the house to handle wifi. Also 10gb future proof when the time comes. comes right back to a central location were my networking equipment is, including my nas, UPS, and other equipment is.
  21. is this for your TV and other devices? Can your phone work just fine on the 5ghz freq were your tv is? I haven't looked into it for some time but there were devices called media bridges. you set it up to connect to your existing network, this then provides a ethernet port or more depending on the model. This will give you a ethernet port for your tv and possibly anything else you need. there are ethernet over powerline options, might work as you are in an apartment.
  22. home environment with future proofing you should look at cat6a. Last I herd cat7 isn't actually a standard is this going to be in a wall? surface mounted?
