  1. why not run it as a service in MPLS and use IS-IS?
  2. hahaha I love that antenna, its cute... I think there will be all kinds of problems with such a solution, VSWR errors, stability issues, etc and I really do not think it will work Do you have Line of Sight? If yes, then just mount a few Ubiquiti NanoBeam https://www.ubnt.com/airmax/nanobeam-ac/ and be done with it You will never get gigabit using 802.11, it is always half duplex.
  3. I did.. But what you were asking or hinting at, was how to circumvent the speedcap your ISP has given you. There is not a legal way to do that.
  4. Why is this a thing? Why does people not want to pay for the product they are getting? If you want more speed - pay for more speed, that is pretty much how the world works and how it should be - if you want something, buy it.

    Help me!!

    buy this: http://www.edimax.com/edimax/merchandise/merchandise_detail/data/edimax/global/wireless_adapters_ac600_dual-band/ew-7811uac/ You will not regret it.
  6. The new (round) Ubiquiti AC line does not cost that much I recommend them wholeheartedly
  7. It still does not seem like you are listening to advice, so I'm done offering Good luck with your project
  8. I am really sorry, but so far I have not seen anything that would suggest that you have a well put together business plan other than "I have a server, I want to host something at home and make sweet sweet money" But I have not seen that you have taken or thought about the advice you have gotten here from some of us. There is a reason ISPs charge extra money for business lines, there are other things than just the speed behind it and there is a reason why hosting is not basicly free, there are a lot of costs associated with it and keep a service online at all times. Have you thought about the change management process and how you will do that to comply with ITIL etc? 99.8% up time is hard, most hosting companies promise 99.9%, some even 99.999%
  9. is it possible for you to run a cable some of the way? In that case - get an Access Point instead. if not - powerline + access point Repeaters are always a bad solution and all routers should adhere to the same standards and laws, so the coverage should be more or less the same regardless of the router (if it is consumer hardware and it is the same RF environment)
  10. Do not do it... Your ISP most likely does not allow it on your home line You need to pay for internet, power, redundancy, cooling, supoport/customer service and backup hardware when something fails, so all that needs to be calculated into your price. You will most likely be ddos'ed when some angry anti-social kid loses a game or something It is in most cases not worth the hazzle. Hosting something for close friends for free or allow donations, no problem.. Taking money for a services becomes a problem, if you are not able to keep that service running (people might become dissatisfied and inquire their money back for the service they did not get, thus leaving you with no income and all the expenses) Hosting a server in a rented rack space in a datacenter that has all the monitoring and infrastructure you need, is a better solution.
  11. You can usually just bridge the wan interface to a lan interface on the routers or use dmz and disable nat/pat. I have set my Technicolor up in a way where the WAN ip is given to eth1 - would work with larger subnets as well, but that requires some more CLI foo...
  12. like every system builder says in their videos... Throw the disk away and download the latest drivers from the products website. https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z170A-SLI-PLUS.html#down-driver
  13. if the cable only has 4 wires inside the RJ45 plug, it cannot exceed 100mbit. But check that you are using at least cat5e with all 8 wires There might be a broken wire somewhere in the cable, so test with another cable too
  14. Can you set the post as resolved then?
  15. I do not agree on shielding being a waste. It is a well known fact that LTE screwed with the TV signal inside homes here in Denmark where un-shielded cables were installed, causing wiring to need replacing inside walls of many homes. We do not know how future wireless technologies will affect the installs we have now, 5G is upcoming and will operate at both lower and higher frequencies than we are using today - so I would go for shielded just to be safe - it is not like it is crazy expensive to upgrade from utp to s-ftp cable, but it can be expensive to change out the wiring later on. Then again - you might be fine and "future proofing" is snake oil. EDIT: Crossing powerlines is no problem as long as you cross them straight like a cross, but wiring ethernet along power lines can introduce unwanted noise and interference with your Ethernet packages.
  16. Is this a troll post or are you for real? DOCSIS and DSL are 2 completely different technologies, like tt2458 says, you should just call the providers in the area and get prices and terms and then decide on the best solution for you,
  17. I would go for an EdgeRouter again actually - if you dont want to spend the money on a pfsense box or a Juniper, Cisco or Sophos (both initial investment, licenses and power usage)
  18. Telenor Denmark* Like: everything hate: Nothing special *im very partial about this, as I work for Telenor - but the broadband market i Denmark is pretty awesome in general, loads of options for choosing ISP and loads of different speeds and packages to choose from. No bandwidth caps on anything fixed with any ISP.
  19. get this http://www.edimax.com/edimax/merchandise/merchandise_detail/data/edimax/au/wireless_adapters_ac600_dual-band/ew-7811usc/ it is awesome, got a few of them and it has mac and linux support
  20. Could you, by any chance try and packet capture a bit with wireshark etc and see which IP you are getting the media from? There were some trouble some time ago with some US ISP (*cough* TimeWarner *cough*) shaping international youtube traffic down to 144p.. So if you are getting your data from a CDN inside their network, that might be why it is so slow for you..?
  21. Yes it does The newer versions of the GUI actually works quite well.. Just be aware, that there is no wifi in an EdgeRouter, it is simply a very powerful router (like pfSense with no WiFi card)
  22. If you have 2 APs, it should be: Router -> powerline -> AP at one end of the house Router -> powerline -> AP at the other end of the house

    Slow Internet

    downloading nasty german porn?
  24. Ah yes, I know the pain! There are a lot of features in pfSense for shaping, virus scan, caching and other useful stuff, but can be a bit overwhelming. There is a huge community online for help. Edgerouter had a lot of cool features and all of them are useful in the GUI and from the CLI you can do pretty much everything you can do on any debian linux distribution. It uses ALOT less power. I dont know if power usage is an issue where you live, but for a device that is running 24/7, the power bill will be hurt a lot with a pfSense box in most cases compared to an ER. The Ubiquiti forum is pretty decent at helping out with the most, but their live support is mostly useless, I have never had a good experience with that - but then again, dont really need help as its well documented on their guides and faqs on their website.
  25. It very well be, yes A rule of thumb is that an average user will use between 20 and 200 sessions at all time now a days with all the telemetry data being sent to software developers. Basically whenever you open a website with adds, your browser is requesting resources from a lot of different add-networks and servers and thereby opening sessions, which should be closed automatically, but can sometimes remain open for a little while and when a new add is displayed, it will do the same again. So if one of the devices has 5-10 tabs open in Chrome etc, a lot of adds will be requested and a lot of sessions opened. And that is just internet browsing. Then we have: Steam, Skype, Battlenet, Origin, Microsoft Windows etc all collecting data and communicating with their servers to ensure that you are online, connected and ready all the time.. If you want to kill some processes, kill some applications. If you want to know what is using your internet, Barnacules Nerdgasm did a video on an application called GlassWire, which will monitor what your computer do and traceroute it so you can see where your data is going and which applications are communicating.
