Gamers Nexus alleges LMG has insufficient ethics and integrity
Lupul replied to osgalaxy's topic in General Discussion
Reaction is once again a missed opportunity to do the right thing. Maybe it was not a good time, maybe other things happen that could ask for priority in your life. That's fine, take your time and say something when you've had the time to look into it and formulate a proper reply. If it happens a lot that people tell you you're wrong, looking into it might be a better strategy than saying you already said something about how you're right... Mistakes happen, nobody is expecting anything incredible. A sincere apology would be good, acknowledging the massive mistake in selling somebody's prototype would be better and then moving on to improving things would be best. -
Sorry to bump the thread but I hope it is useful for other curious folks. Got the toy, hooked up, set up. all is mostly good. While I did get my Plex back up and running (the major thing I wanted) and did hook Curiosity Stream up no problem, Nebula is not yet supported in the Store directly and relies on casting. I can live with it and it is fine, it's just not perfect now (aka a phone free experience).so if it is a platform that matters to you, beware Other than that, there's loads to chose from and play with.

That sounds great then, seems like it'll cover my needs just about right.

The Chromecast is available in Romania, quite easily, but my perception was that it needs to always be connected to a phone, which I don't really care for. Can it work on its own?

Hello there, My main TV is a nice Panasonic 4K which is not the newest thing on the block but still serves me beautifully. Like many beautiful things, it also has flaws, in this case, FirefoxOS. While it looks lovely, moves decently around, it is basically dead and the somewhat skimpy app market just got skimpier with a loss of support for the Plex app. That is annoying, so I am currently looking for a possibility to get the functionality back and am considering options for something of a compute stick or anything similar. I'd like to ask you guys if you recommend any such things (I'd be biased towards something android based but if better options are out there I'm game). My conditions would be: - decent app market which includes Plex (obviously) but would love to see CuriosityStream and Nebula on there too or any general streaming apps. - some track record of updates or promises of such a thing (or at least not being run on really old software) - easy of use with simple navigation, ideally from the TV remote - decent price? I am not expecting 50 cents but also not interested in going crazy for these perks. - delivery to Romania. Whatever the device is, I have USB ports available and HDMI for its connection, with decent Wi-Fi speeds available to it. The TV is currently wired up for LAN but I doubt it can be used by the stick. Having recently built a new PC, I do have the older one around for some form HTPC but I would like to avoid that option and go for something as simple to use as possible. So for now, let's not go down the HTPC rabbit hole for starters at least. Thank you.

Don't think I have set up SSH, is the physical reboot pretty much the only real option? Could the job be keeping my user locked somehow?

Hi everyone, I may have messed up my NAS, slightly. I have an old PC turned NAS in my storage room. It has been with me for more than two years now without major issues. There is one thing; occasionally, my computer wouldn't connect to it. No real idea as to why, but it did seem as to more of a networking/router issue than with either devices. The simple fix to the issue was, use the phone to login to web interface of nas and simply ping the IP of the computer. Once that was done, it instantly connected to the shares as if nothing was ever wrong. The NAS also runs a plex server, and my TV would run it without a hitch regardless of the computer's vision status of the NAS. Being in a tinkering move I figured, if i ran a task on the NAS that pings the PC occasionally, this should make all the problems go away. Logged in, went to advanced, cron, typed in ping and the IP and selected about 18 hours during the day where I might be using the PC for the task to run. Didn't save it, just figured I'd try it out so I hit run. Since then, I am unable to login to the web of the NAS regardless of what I do or what device I use. The plex server still functions normally and, somewhat ironically, the shares seem to be accessible throughout the day. Any ideas on what could give me access once again? Is there some other fix to my problem once I do eventually manage to login?

Got a couple of days off and really took a few hours to get this sorted. It seems the problem was indeed the cable. After testing with a new cable it had normal 1gbps speed between the routers and was happy with it. The internet situation on the second router was still somewhat weird. At this point I turned to the configuration settings and ended up with the second one configured with ip 192.168.1.240, thus, inside of the DHCP range of the main router, but with gateway set to 1.1 (main router). As an added bonus, I did add the second router to the DHCP reserved mac address list on the main one, obviously, using the same IP of 240, just to make sure. I tried various other cables and configurations with pcs/laptops around the house, all seems fine. Therefore, went to the less pleasant stuff. This is where things become fun. I took out the old cable, as carefully as possible, put in the new one, even more carefully, crimped it again, set the pieces back in contact and turned everything on. It works. The second router has proper internet, relays it on to the wired TV, as well as to the wireless clients on both 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz. Plex on the tv managed to connect every time I tried it, all other streaming apps seem to work fine as well. Pokemon go, on the wifi of the second router now also works without glitches. The removed cable seems fine, had no apparent cuts or such. It wasn't stressed in anyway that is apparent and it was of decent quality cat5e. Broke my heart tho', four or so years of operation seems less than it should be. Should also mention that my cable tester showed contact on all eight cables as if everything was normal just before i cut it up to take through the wall.

Update on the situation: Brought in a different "second" router, a much more recent TPLink Archer C6. This router has an option for "AP mode" thus making it easier to setup for what I want to use it. As it happens, while the setup is easier. The problem seems to be the same: TV plugged into second router gets internet, wifi clients on Archer C6 do not. Basically, I am going back to the drawing board, as I think there is nothing wrong with my "original" second router. That said, I did find something interesting there in the C6's status situation. Both cables plugged in were displayed as 100 mbps full duplex. They should be Gigabit. When I use a tester, I get all eight "lights" coming up in the right order. Seems like the next step is to get a different cable that far and see what is going on. Any other suggestions for what to check?

5 Ghz is beautifully empty. I do use it when in that room. My problem is not the signal itself since in current conditions I get full coverage throughout the apartment. The problem is that second router not willing to "share" the internet i know it is getting. After all, the TV, connected by wire to it, plays Netflix and Youtube 4K all day long. I believe the cable between the two routers is good. I mean, I routed and crimped it myself so it's not a machined one, but it seems fine. I tested it and all wires seem to have signal, pings between the two routers are constant both ways. I will likely get another router. I will try it in two steps, the first being replacing the main router and then if nothing changes moving it to the second router's spot. The ISP provided one might be part of the problem with this as much as the TPLink one, but with this hard to reproduce constantly issue, they will likely be uninterested in swapping it out. Will post back if I figure anything out, however it might be a while before I get a chance to do so.

Primary router is set to use 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.254. It can assign "static" ips via MAC however, it only seems to do it for ones that are set in its dhcp range. Since TPLink recommended i use something outside that range, it's a no go. I did try it against TPLinks recommendation, didn't seem to make any difference. The wireless in my area is pretty cluttered as the apartment design is pretty terrible and most of the times, a single wifi emitter isn't enough. Both networks are secured with WPA2 AES. In the screenshots "my networks" are Sufragerie (router 1) and Dormitor (router 2).

Gateway was already set, added DNS on router 2. Situation seems to be the same with Pokemon Go login from router 2 wifi (also the connection is once again showing connected - no internet). As for the Wireless settings, they are basically named "Room 1" - 2,4 Ghz only (router 1) and "Room 2" - 2,4 Ghz and 5 Ghz (router 2) with custom passwords but everything else set to auto.

Followed those: At the moment here's the situation: 1st Router IP 192.168.1.1 DHCP 192.168.1.10-254 2nd router IP 192.168.1.2 DHCP OFF Cable is Lan-Lan. Currently when I connect to WiFi i do seem to get internet but something is off. For instance, Pokemon Go doesn't want to sign in from WiFi on second router, yet does it no problem on main router WiFi. TV does work with Netflix/Youtube/app market but sometimes fails to connect to my plex server (it's an extension on my NAS - which is on the same network as stated in opening post). TV is connected via cable to second router. Could the problem be more of a conflict rather than a configuration issue?

It doesn't seem to have an "operation mode" menu/setting. When looking up how to set it up in AP mode, even TPLink's website recommends doing the settings manually. This is why I'm thinking I am missing something.

Hello everybody, I have a bit of an issue with my home network. It is set up as follows: Fiber into an ISP provided ONT/Router from ZTE. Directly to it have run three Gigabit ethernet cables to the following: PC, NAS, second router (TPLink TL-WDR3600 N600) The second router cable is not plugged into WAN, but into one of the LAN ports, just as my Smart TV is connected. I have disabled DHCP on the second router, set a different IP from the one on the main router and i can access its web interface and ping is reliable to it. The TV that's connected to it, via ethernet, has Internet working fine, it can do 4K streaming no problem. However, the WLan on the second router has no internet when you connect to it (my phone says it's connected "no internet") From what I can tell, it is acting as if the "switch" part is working fine and dandy, but the "wifi" part doesn't get internet. The router can ping any device on the network fine, but if I try to ping an external IP it gets timed out. My question would be: Am I missing some setting on either routers or is this second router aging disgracefully and acting up? PS: Apologies if I missed out on a similar discussion, my search throughout the forum earlier didn't seem to fit my case or was too old a topic to revive..
