As in the ethernet link to the PC goes through an ethernet coupler?
 
What type of ethernet cables are you using?
 
A make/model would be very helpful.

Definitely!
 
Unless your ISP does not care about who connects to their fiber network, they usually have to authorize access by allowing not just the right credentials, but the right hardware signature.
 
They should also be helpful in getting you set up faster than what we are "guessing" that you need to do.

the reason for the change of the hub was i keep getting ping spikes from an average of 17ms to 700ms+ which when gaming is well just game breaking so trying anything at this point i managed to finally get in had to reset all passwords related to plusnet and it finally let me in

Oh I notice it has Killer software, is that installed?  That often lives up to its name and kills the speed.

Their network, their rules.
 
If you don't like it, you can pay for a mobile hotspot and use your own data plan.
 
But realistically, unless you're causing trouble they probably won't care too much what you do with the connection.

Heh, I got slammed for using too much bandwidth once

I did IT for a while at a university. It was pretty neat, they were able to see pretty much everything and prevent pretty much whatever they want. They would nuke your access to the internet using your student ID if you did something you couldn't and the only way to get access back was to call the IT office and they'd reprimand you.

You start by thinking it through, specifically the legal implications.
- Does you contract with the ISP allow you to do so?
- Depending on where you live, do you need to register a business / pay taxes?
- What if one or more of your clients uses it for illegal stuff, and it traces back to you?
And soon enough you should come to a conclusion that it isn't worth it.
 

from the community standards:
we're not *that* sort of forum.
 
it's possible, but most likely against the ISP's terms, and will put you in a lot of legal hot water if a user of said proxies uses them for illegal activities, or if the tax man wants a share of your profits.
as for how many.. well.. infinite? you didnt specify how fast you want them to go.
 
you get these blunt answers because the way you ask the question implies you have no idea what you're in for, so it's best to just *not*.
 
oh.. and i'll finish this off with my usual ramble that i tend to stick in threads about game server hosting:
 
"anything intended for people outside your direct friends belongs in a datacenter. essentially the only people you should home-host for is people you'd have over for a barbecue."

This is where stating pertinent information from the start could have saved a lot of misinterpretation.
 
Never will be. All of the ethernet ports can only go at a maximum rate of 1Gbps.
 
Higher aggregate/cumulative speeds of the WLAN are possible, but most home users don't care about it.
 
Shaw/XB8 (WiFi 6E, tri-band) ---> 1GbE ---> RAX43 (WiFi 6, dual-band)
 
Tests seem to have been done over WiFi 6E to the XB8 resulting in that screenshot
 
@jre84 - Hopefully, you've configured the RAX43 in AP mode if you're concerned about double-NAT and port forwarding.

As in the PHY speed or local speed tests?
 
Not sure what your S21 Ultra was seeing especially given what @Lurick pointed out about your router's specifications.
 
Port aggregation has to be supported on both the router and the modem for that to work.
 
When it comes to multi-gig internet connections, you have to make sure that your ports can exceed the speeds you'll be paying for. So, in your situation, you're looking at 2.5Gbps or better. This takes into consideration various overheads that can drop the speed and it also should provide you with hardware that can handle WAN-to-LAN or LAN-to-WAN speeds that high.
 
Having gigabit ports doesn't necessarily mean that the hardware can perform transfers at gigabit speeds. The CPU/chipset/cooling must be up to the task.

1) Your router is gigabit only, you'll NEVER get more than that to the internet without a multi-gigabit router (one with a 2.5Gb WAN port at least) and having an ISP device that supports 2.5GbE ports as well.
2) The router you have is WiFi 6, it's not WiFi 6E which is where you get 6GHz connectivity, you'll NEVER see a 6GHz SSID because the router you mentioned doesn't have the ability to broadcast on 6GHz.
 
Edit:
Assuming this is your router:
https://www.netgear.com/home/wifi/routers/rax43/

Depends on how load balancing is set up in your router.
 
You should learn how load balancing works, especially as it applies to your multi-WAN router.
 
Watch the section of same video as it applies to policy routing. You can create groups of devices then assign those groups to a particular WAN.
 
Theoretically, if your internet speeds are slower than the maximum that the Deco can handle, speeds should be minimally affected. At higher internet connection speeds, you might hit a limit since anything plugged in to that WAN port will have to negotiate at least 2 firewalls. Placing a "router" in bridge/passthrough mode or AP mode, releases CPU resources to achieve higher speeds doing other tasks.
 
Where multiple layers of NAT come in to play is intermittent interruptions from internal IP renewals (DHCP), potential IP conflicts if both networks are within the same subnet, and firewall-related issues (routing from the WAN, through the first network and then the second, etc.).
 
Unless you have a specific reason to run mesh units in their default mode behind a dual-WAN router, I'd run them in AP mode. I don't think Deco and Omada integrate with each other at this time even if they're both from TP-Link. Using them together will come with compromises.
 
Again, watch the video.
 
Technically, if you configure policy routing properly, the chosen WAN should only depend on the client, not the AP through which the client connects. Explore the Omada policy routing interface.

If you simply want to access your home network from work, just use OpenVPN.
 
Unlike NordVPN, I don't think ProtonVPN has any "mesh" feature to activate.

Compare costs, not savings. I need that in a frame, will stick that at my workplace.
 
Was thinking about downgrading my NordVPN account to standard, but this PIA sounds good, cost-wise.

As in they're all running in their default 'router' mode? Why? That's a whole lot of NAT.
 
Read your router's manual on AP mode.
 
That's not a model number. Those are features. Model will be on a sticker attached to the ISP unit directly.
 
That's due to your setup.

No need to be an elitist about gaming. Everyone can just play what they think is fun.

bro let the kid play what he wants to play. 

You don't need mesh to do this, but it is one of the simpler "set-it-and-forget-it" solutions that has this feature.
 
Start by reading about what are mesh systems here. Then take a look at which setups work the best.
 
That budget might be more in keeping with a WiFi 6 mesh system, but you can take a look at the other reviews for WiFi 6E/7 if your budget expands.

You are going about this the wrong way, if you require access to your work environment from out of the country, your best bet is to have your company's IT set you up with a solution. 
Anything else is likely not going to work.
 
May I ask why you are asking here instead of your company IT?

When this happens, look at the hardware properties to see what error message it generates. There's always a message if you're seeing a yellow [!].
 
No need to install. Run live from USB. Ubuntu is popular.
 
If WiFi works (hopefully, there are supported drivers in the Linux kernel), then that might point to a Windows driver issue.
 
Wouldn't say it's unremovable. Probably more risk of damage if you tried. I've successfully removed the shroud on my MSI WiFi motherboard before to replace the M.2 WiFi adapter. Needed care, but I would understand your reluctance with an expensive board.
 
Honestly, you can go on to investigate this problem as much as possible. Time taken to get a conclusion might be more than just getting a PCIe replacement one time if it's annoying you that much. I'd avoid USB if there's a compatible slot available.

that's kind of the idea with networking equipment: that it's on all of the time...
 
and past that - you bought the kind of garbage that claims up to 200Mbps, but the ports are only 100Mbps ports..

Actually, the ER-X and ER-X-SFP do not have to be used with WISPs or AirMax. You can use it as a regular router and it performs well for what it is.
 
The AC-M requires 24V passive PoE, so PoE compatibility shouldn't be a problem here. I do agree that you have to manually "switch" PoE on in the router interface.
 
Are you sure you want a system like Ubiquiti? Why not keep it a bit simpler with a mesh system using ethernet backhaul between the primary unit and peripheral nodes?
