  1. Just checking out the WAN show this week, about how we should al move to WPA3 due to how easy WPA2 is to crack. But one thing I was screaming out was that there is one (very common!) device out there which lots of us have which doesn’t support WPA3, which is the Nintendo Switch! For me, it’s the only device now I own which doesn’t support WPA3, and short of putting it on its own SSID and VLAN, how are others handling this?
  2. You break it... you bought it! Will drop you the URL
  3. Hey... just setup my first minecraft server and want a few folks to play/test/see what it's like... I tried putting the link up on r/minecraft but apparently that's not allowed.... how's best to go about getting some testers to pop on?
  4. Its literally... in the news....under the technology section... How is this related to home theater??? I swear the mods in the forum are crazy...
  5. Funny story bere where for the last 18 months at 7am every morning ing, the entire villages broadband gets knocked out. Following cable replacements,fault finding etc...eventually its an old TV bring turned on causing interference!!! Lol BBC News - Internet: Old TV caused village broadband outages for 18 months https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-54239180
  6. Power line adapters are only ever as good as the wiring in your home. That being said, you've got the bare minimum requirements so anything should do you. I'd go tplink myself, cheapest you can find.
  7. Well that's the dumbest logic ever... You don't "not" develop a feature just because one platform doesn't support it.... if it broke support for uses on that platform sure... but it doesn't.... Sounds like a lazy excuse to me.
  8. Just came to play COD WarZone... and when they shove a bloody 27Gb update down your mouth.... it's nice to have that speed.
  9. Mobile is the one I'm looking for. If it's not there... that's life. But it's a nice to have for sure.
  10. Yeah that's cool. So this i get already... but lots of site can use chrome for push notifications... Floatplane has this already for when new videos are posted... just hoping thyme can enable this on the forum
  11. I think this is just the notifications in the top right of the site no? It doesn't notify you unless you're signed in and on the site Joe?
  12. And its not bad advice, especially for those whos need is less, and financial sensitivity is more... but for the sake of the cost of less than 2 pints... I'll stick with the tier.
  13. any chance to enable chrome notifications when posts are make to your thread? Would be very handy, especially on mobile.
  14. Speed, and bandwidth are different things... Sure... I'm not likely to cap out a single connection with the full 2Gpbs... but I have a wife and 2 kids... netflix across several devices can use the top tier... the xbox one and my Steam library can download the latest game updates, I can be on a Teams meeting... my family connecting in via vpn to use my plex library...etc all at the same time with no bottlenecks... This is why I'm asking... is there anything else which might be good to setup... while I cant stump up the hardware like the LTT team did to setup a folding at home server... that type of thing might be the idea.
  15. this is one of the areas I'm looking at... i have a few wifi 6 devices (Samsung galaxy fold, S10, iPhone 11) but no laptops though... and not sure I will make that investment on the laptop just yet... My wifi network is due an upgrade though... but need 3, cost effective access points to get the coverage I need and wifi 6 APs.... ain't cost effective just yet! Lol
  16. €35 euros a month... no cap... and includes my TV package... Only other option was to drop to 400Mbps for €25 a month... so I don't think we get a bad deal here... and no point in saving myself the €10 a month.
  17. looking for ideas here... I recently upgraded my home connection from 10Mbps... to 2Gbps... Everything as best as possible is hardwired including my WiFi access points... I'm just looking for ideas on what I could spin up to make good use of the bandwidth?
  18. So this is I thinm my better option. I just don't know about any issues getting the top speed across 2 nics
  19. TV does come over it yes... but I think i can get round that with some VLAN trickery. I have seen folks who have had luck just plugging an SFP+ adaptor on the end of the connection coming into the house and then it simply working when plugged into a switch, but wondering how many times this has worked before investing.
  20. Sadly this is the only router they offer. I think that they assume that you're not going to be bursting to the full limit often and more looking to spread the bandwidth across devices.
  21. So.. I have a 2Gbps connection... but the ISP's router only has 1Gbps ports... it hurts!
  22. Ok.... First up... this is literally 1st world problems... but I would appreciate some advice. I have a 2Gbps FttH internet connection here in France coming from Orange. However, their router only has 4x 1Gbps Ethernet ports, and doesn't support link aggregation (LACP). So this is good for sharing that 2Gbps across a couple of devices (I currently have my main switch, office switch, one of my wifi APs in there right now), however no single device can make use of the full 2Gbps speed and I can't aggregate 2 of the ports into a smart switch to share that full speed out across my whole network. The connection from the ISP into the router is a true fibre. My question is... does any know if there is cost effective switch around which will take the fibre directly (or via a SFP+ adaptor) and provide at least 16 ethernet ports (ideally at least of couple of them 10Gbps). Thanks!
  23. For those interested... this setup is fine for what i want. Well over 120fps in CSGO and world of warships. Fortnite a little less but will in the 80s and 90s. all at highest settings 1080p
  24. Phone... not really... VR headset world... certainly!
