    thebros35 got a reaction from Real_PhillBert in Router Vs Access Point?   
    Only bad part about that is the TP-Link switch, they make OK products but not too great ones. If you are OK buying used, I would look on EBay for a used HP ProCurve. They have fire-ass warranties and are built like tanks.

    I personally would go with Threadripper, it should be better then the 12c i9 at a lower cost and being out sooner.

    Kyronaut is a thermal compound that aside from performing fantastically, is used with cryogenics for extreme overclocking, hydronaut is similar but a more budget friendly option for people who are never going LN2 and just want the performance. The fluid from this posters loop looks like Mayhems Aurora supernova with a blue dye, probably Mayhems deep blue.

    Right now anyway...I wonder how much money you could make from a YouTube video about setting money on fire...
     
    Then pay for your 10 Gb network with it!

    OK, so your router is working and handing out addresses. So that leaves us with something on the PC or the physical connection. Please double check that the computer is connected to the router correctly.
     
    Next is to staticly set an address and see if you have internet. To do that you need to go to the adaptor properties and the select TCP/IP v4 and go properties on that.
    Try setting
    IP 192.168.1.157
    Mask 255.255.255.0
    Gateway 192.168.1.254
    Dns1 192.168.1.254
    Dns2 8.8.8.8
    And try your internet again.
    If you get lost google how to set a static IP in windows.

    If your client PC is windows as well then using common passwords and usernames between the systems will allow you to get it going secured very easily. However if its just a fun or learning experience, use Ubuntu and google and give it a go. (Remember to backup)

    I would go with the proposed picture, but I wouldn't plug the router into the server. Let your router route, and let your server serve . Running Windows Server in a VM would do fine. dnsmasq is super fine if you don't mind text files, but if you want a GUI and already plan on doing Windows Server run DHCP and DNS on there. Its trivial and doesn't take up very many resources, and if shit goes haywire you can let your router do DHCP and DNS.
     
    The access points are always a good idea.
    I would also agree with upgrading to a PoE switch for your cameras and AP's, just to save some space. They aren't too expensive, and its nice having less wires . 
     
    Really, its kind of silly to roll your own DNS. Its possible, but rather pointless.

    thebros35 reacted to aisle9 in Norway becomes first country to kill FM radio   
    It'd never happen in the US. Too much of an industry built around the FM and AM bands. I could eventually see control of the airwaves being handed over to private industry, but even that would be a mess.
