When I had this issue on cable it was because one of the coax cables was bad off of the splitter.  I had a tech come and he found the issue when testing the lines.

...If you're not transcoding even the 3770K was overkill as a Plex server and an 1800X is disgustingly.

I'm not using Plex, I'm just using normal SMB Shares for a Kodi operation, but even the quad core Intel i5 2300 I have in that box is pretty badly overkill.  Without transcoding, all you're doing is moving data, a toaster could do the job.

So I decided I'd pick up Fallout 4 and I was prepared to wait a while for it to finish at a (for me) solid 1.6mbps, which I know is slow but's above average for me.
So after a while (about 5gb in) my internet decides to shove a 40m long dildo up it's ass and now I'm experiencing speeds of <50kbps, at first it was going from 300kbps - 1mbps but now it's just fucked. \
I'm using a wireless netgear device. And the device software has this strange padlock between my PC and the modem.

PLEASE HELP ME LORD JESUS

So when it asks me to set network after I've put in my wifi password it just sits there trying to connect but in the end it just tells me it failed to do so and prompts me to try again which I've done several times. I'm setting it up from an Android phone if that helps. I literally have no clue what to do. Please answer in simple terms for me because I'm probably not gonna understand half the shit you reply with...

Wtf no.

With all these "gonna get shot down" comments I can't help but wonder if I missed a news story about an influx of 'rootin' tootin' cowboys' in our society.

the bot will engage "fracas" mode.

You could use a VPN, but I'm not telling you how.
 
You should listen to your parents.
 
I'm a jerk.

The best advice anybody hear can give is don't mess with it. This isn't a "let me play IT guy on my home network" situation. This is serious business. Not only does network downtime cost real money, like somebody mentioned earlier, there is the very serious issue of security and it's ramifications.
 
I'm assuming that this won't be a network exclusively for the back shop; the front office is going to be on the network as well. That means financial and customer data. Without a proper plan in place to address security, there's is the very real possibility of a data breach. What are your local laws regarding privacy/security and will the company be held legally liable if damages occur from an inadequately secured network?
 
The absolute best thing you can do is look up the phone number of a local company that specializes in these kinds of setups and tell your boss "here, give these guys a call". Not only will a professional company be able to design a fast, secure network, they'll probably save your boss a boatload of cash by helping him find solutions to streamline the workflow in the shop.
 
Should you choose to ignore my very honest and very reasonable advice, I can give you some hardware recomendations.
 
Go with a router from pfSense. You can build ready to go setups with pfsense installed and configured and you also get support. Because pfsense is also available for free as open source, you'll find a huge community of people that can give you advice and tutorials on specific questions, should the included support be insufficient. pfSense machines are routers and firewalls that can be easily set up with services like SNORT for automated intrusion detection and prevention. You can pay for a membership and have SNORT automatically keep updated lists on current and emerging network security threats. It will also allow for mobile employees to connect back into the network remotely.
 
For storage, go with prebuilt truenas servers from ix systems. They are the people behind freenas. Not much else to say about that. You get great servers with tons of features and you support a great open source project.
 
For the networking gear, go with ubiquiti. Their unifi range is great and you can manage everything from a single interface. I'd suggest the 48 port switch. It has PoE on all ports and 2 SFP+ 10 gig ports. Use the 10 gig ports to connect the storage server to the network. You can set up a bunch of APs all over the shop to get the coverage you need and manage them all as one. They have zero handoff so you roam easily between them and they are powered via PoE (hence my reccomendation of the PoE switch) so wiring is a lot easier. They even have an AP that has a built speaker to funtion as a PA; handy to have in a shop.
 
They also have security cameras that are PoE as well and intergrate into the systems as well. And if you go that far, might as well take a look at their VOIP phone offering.
 
 
I gotta admit, I let out a hardy chuckle when you mentioned that you already had the switch. A $85 netgear switch is less than a drop in the bucket in a networking setup that will probably end up costing your boss over $25,000.
 
Look, it comes down to this; in the other thread you said you are a mechanical engineer. I'm an operating engineer, I know my shit when it comes to my field, but I would NEVER touch anything outside my area of expertise. The mark of a great engineer is being able to recognize when something is outside of your scope of understanding in getting somebody in who specializes in that.

Connection drops semi-often on killer e2200 on msi gaming 970 through Linksys e2500 ddwrt bridged repeater. Also Motorola docsys smells like crayons? Need help to rectify this really bad networking situation

Pretty interesting read. The text wrap on your post looks worst than the dbrand wrap on your phone...

most of new tech is developed for this use? the millennial generation should be renamed to the "look at me while i look at myself with my head up my arse generation"

Do you also equate a Nuclear weapon with a bag of pretzels?  dafuk outta here.

1. Teachers have an obligation to protect their students, if they perceive something as a threat then they have to report it. If the teacher thought his clock looked like a bomb, fake or real, then they should notify the principal of the school.
2. If the principal does not feel comfortable in making the call on whether or not the device is a bimb, then it goes to the police to determine.
3. Once the police determine that it's not a bomb, and the kid never claims it was a bomb they should have asked him to leave for the day and take his clock home and return the next day. If it looks enough like a bomb that a teacher and principal both don't feel comfortable in completely writing it off, then it doesn't belong at school.
To my eye, it looks like a fake ass movie bomb, but the kid shouldn't have been arrested and was arrested because of his name and the color of his skin.
To those of you who say things like "Look, he's wearing a NASA shirt!" How is that even relevant?
Things are rarely 100% right, or 100% wrong. The kid was not smart to bring something that looked like that to school, but the manner in which this kid was treated by the police department blows that mistake out of the water.

Must be troll.
 
This makes no logical sense.  
 
Open a Roth IRA and thank your Mom.
 
RIP Grammy.

This guy^ lol.  We got a horticulturalist here...

run the ethernet cable in a protective conduit..underground

Isn't Skype WILDLY vulnerable?  Why would anyone use that?
