I have fiber İnternet 1000/100 but my phone cant go trough 500 mark, my pc can do nearly 900 but my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra struggles with it i dont know why,any idea ? ( i tested 2.4 and 5ghz bands but its same ) i also used another fiber modem from Linksys but its same :(

i need help i have searched everywhere how do i do this?

I am looking into running some fiber inside my house. I recently did some renovations and put in new electrical and data wiring, these all run in conduits. I wil be swapping my existing network equipment some time in september. As a result of my own stupidity I forgot to put a conduit for data to my home office. My office is in a part of the building that is concrete so WiFi is pretty much a no go. I have considered running a CAT6 or CAT6A to my office on the outside of my house, but this cable would need to run through several walls and floors. This is not an ideal solution. Since I have the fuses and electrical conduits for mye home office right next to a data conduit I also considered running some shielded CAT6A in the same conduit as the electrical. After doing some research I found that this would most likely cause trouble since I would be running copper with copper. Electrical wires are 240V/50 hz. This set me on the path of fiber optics. So what do I currently have in my shopping basket you may ask? Unify Dream Machine Pro Unify Switch 24-100W Unify Switch 8-150W (two units) Unify AP AC PRO (three units, one will be in my home office) I plan to put the UDM Pro and the 24 port switch close to the dual fiber intakes on the ground floor.(only one is active, line is 800/800 Mbps). I plan to run fiber from the 24P switch up through a dedicated data conduit to the first floor and then connect to the first 8 port switch. Thinking I might as well run fiber and not CAT6 since this will be future proof. I will then run fiber through the electrical conduits to my office. This distance will be around 15 meteres (approx. 49 feet) from the 8 port to my office were I will put the second 8 port swich. Since I plan to patch everything with fiber I will order 6 of these transceivers. https://www.fs.com/products/65337.html. Yes, I realize I’m only getting gigabit LAN and not 10gig but it really doesn’t matter for my use case as long as I get a solid connection. At least it will be future proof. Now I have done a fair bit of CAT5/6/6A cabling, but I have zero experience in fiber. My copper wires run in plastic conduits (in-wall) that are Ø16mm (0,629 inches). For this to work I would need to pull the fiber in the same conduit as electrical, so I don’t have a great deal of space to work with as I install the fiber. Since I don’t have the equipment to terminate I will have to buy pre terminated fiber (patch cables). As far as I can tell, I will need LC to LC connectors on the fibre patch cable. I have found what I think I need here. (https://www.fs.com/products/40191.html). I would greatly appreciate any input as to what cable I should buy. It would need to be reasonably heavy duty to survive being pulled through the conduit. Any advice would be helpful and most welcome!

I have a Miktrotik CSS326 and a CRS305 with a 10gb fiber line between them, I've had it operational since January of this year, but ever since yesterday the connection no longer works, I can still remote into each switch with devices on their sides of the network, the only way I can get them to transfer data between each other is by changing which SFP+ ports the transceivers go in, and even then it only works for about 2-5 minutes. For love of god please help, i've been trying to fix this for the past 7 hours.

Alright so for some reason my network infrastructure developed a problem yesterday, I have a symmetric gigabit connection, but I can only download at ~3Mbps (uploads are fine), I have my PC connected to a mikrotik CSS326 via ethernet, which is connected to a CRS305 via OS2 fiber, which is connected to my router via ethernet. I replaced a dead cable yesterday (when I had the dead cable I was getting ~150Kpbs), and I would get normal speeds for a few hours, now I get garbage, and no matter what port on the router I switch to I get the same result (great speeds for a few hours then awful ones after), I'm thinking that one of switches is acting up. What do you think? EDIT: I know it's not an issue on my ISP's end because it only happens to my device, and I can remote into my CSS326 from my PC, and my CRS305 from another device just fine, but remoting into my router is super slow. EDIT 2 (11:18 AM GMT-4): I might have found the root of the problem, but any insight is still helpful, since I don't know for sure.

I'm in the process of building new house. Plans are being finalized with the builder, but as a self-identified tech junkie I can't help but wonder what preparations I would need for the builder to ensure my house is fiber-ready. We've already established where the majority of the networking will be located. Will be wiring the house with Cat6a to help futureproof for 10G networking. The question really lies on what wiring/hardware would I need installed between the modem (or I guess what is actually an ONT?) to where the service line terminates from the ISP. Currently, I don't know much about fiber connections simply because I've always used cable internet. What I do know is that the last time I needed service from a different provider that they ran cables from the back of my house to the front, drilled a hole in the brick, which entered into a closet, and another hole on the other side of this closet to finally terminate to a wall plate. This is the reason I am wanting to be proactive and get some advice to prevent this kind of hack job this time around. So, is there anything I can do ahead of time to allow an ISP the ability to easily set up fiber internet without a ugly cable nightmare?

Hi All, Altice just rolled out fiber in my area (NJ) and I have been searching for a way around using their crap ONT/Gateway AIO. From what i've read, you need to keep the provided hardware and double NAT the network.. This isn't an optimum solution for me. So here is what I am thinking. Why couldn't I terminate the fiber connection to an SFP+ port on my PFSense router LIKE THIS. I know that they wont provide alternate hardware, so why not skip it all together? Are they providing the FGW-GR240BG to customers? Are people just not doing this because they don't have the capable SFP hardware? Will Altice assign an IP in that setup? TIA EDIT: FYI, I don't have phone or TV. I know that's been an issue for Fios customers. I haven't seen anyone talking about it for Altice yet.

Not for gaming for AI. Having more ram available to a large language model would be big business. background: For AI workloads there is a cool way to double your memory with an Nvlink adapter. Source https://discuss.pytorch.org/t/is-there-will-have-total-48g-memory-if-i-use-nvlink-to-connect-two-3090/100378 Two 3090's effectively gives you 48GB to work with in AI workloads only. 4090's don't have nvlink and are limited to 24gb. Which means 2 3090's is cost effective at loading bigger ai models. I know sli is a stutter mess for gaming. But from reading It works with AI (haven't tried). But running inference (not training) a large language model might take closer to 800GB+ of VRAM. You can run on GPUs with VRAM, a CPU+ram, CPU+SSD storage of some combination. But to get stuff like this to run at a decent speed it need Vram and GPUs. Buying the GPUs with Networking jacks built it like 80gb a100 is going to like $16000 each according to Ebay. Could some kind of Nvlink to fiber adapter (aka media converter) be made in theory? Does it exist but I'm calling it the wrong thing? I say fiber because the nvlink adapter has " 56.25GB/sec of bi-directional bandwidth or 112.5 GB/sec". Is this the type of thing that requires hacks like the cypto hash rate limiter. Maybe the bios/drivers need hacks (not sure which it would be). I believe there is a niche in the market for people who want to run large AI models for cheap like hobbyists and maybe researchers with out the biggest budget like the developing world. It would consume more power and run slightly slower but be less so much less initial cost per GB. it's a difference of like $200 a100 per GB vs $33per GB on 3090 a GB on used hardware. And AI is big business. Surely there is enough margin for someone to try and develop the tech. Would it be a law suit waiting to happen? I think a Chinese tech company could get away with it, spying concerns aside. I want AI to be more accessible to your average, or at least in this case well off nerd. Sometimes the tech company's let people type to the AI in a walled garden, occasionally they release the model. But only the rich can afford to run a lot of stuff. There is some cool stuff you can run on your computer like stable diffusion. It generates images from your words. Also small language models. I'm not well of enough to afford all these 3090s. I just wish it existed and the barrier to entry was lowered.

Hi yall, I am trying to help a friend get an internet connection from a neighbor since the ISP refuses to do a run to his house. The closest home that would be willing to share their internet connection is about 1500ft away, and I'm trying to figue out what the best way to accomplish this would be. I already looked into MOCA adapters, but it seems that the best those would do is 300ft. Right now I'm looking into fiber but I just wonder what the best solution would be. Thanks!

I live in Florida, and I've seen enough devices die from lightning strikes, so I'm prone to look into fiber for many of my devices, but I don't know where to go for a good SFP/SFP+ 10G PCI network card for my desktop. Any recommendations?

Hi, first time poster here. I would like to have my computer in a different room (heat in room is kinda annoying). My current computer is a Maximus Hero 9 with 9900K (so no TB4). I'd like to know which cables to use (honestly I saw it for the first time on the ltt video). I have two of these cables for the Index and the monitor. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00V7NOYDI?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details and they work great. Unfortunately, i need a data connection, probably using a dock in the office because there needs to be power for the VR headset and other devices such as headset and camera. Here are the questions I have: Should i get a USB-C PCIe card? If so which one? Anyone know of a good fiber USB-C cable? and anyone know of a usb c dock that does not send power back over the USB-C cable (but that can take in power for devices connected to it?) Thanks! T.

Hello ! I have heard about Ubiquit's products for a while and was trying to get better network hardware for my house. My ISP gave me a HUGE box which is an all-in-one box (router, switch, AP) that I would like to replace with something more compact, more powerful and with many more administrative capabilities. This box has a SFP+ Simplex Fiber SC connector where my internet comes in. Since this would be my first hands-on experiment and I am not a network expert, however I do understand well the concepts, I would like to ask for some advice. From what I understand I would need a router, a switch and some APs. The following are my current selection so far: Router - For the router I am considering the UISP Router. Would I be able to connect my ISP's fiber cable to this piece of hardware given than I use a correct SPF+ adapter? Switch - For the switch I am thinkin of the UISP Switch I can see that the router and the switch both have RJ45 connectors. Is a switch really necessary? Can I just connect my wired devices to the router's RJ45s? AP - For the access points that I want to deploy at my bedroom and living room I am considering the In-Wall HD I would appreciate if somebody could shed some light to the configuration drafted here. I am most worried about being able to connect my fiber cable to any new hardware I buy and get internet connection. I would appreciate if we could keep the conversation only related to Ubiquiti's hardware.

So I want to set up my PC out of the room like Linus does. I've seen his 1800 dollar fiber optic hubs but also saw him take the CalDigit TS4 home with him so what does he use that for? Wouldn't it just be way cheaper to run a thunderbolt 4 cable through the walls and get a Thunderbolt dock rather than the whole fiber optic system. What are the benefits to fiber?

We recently got Jio Fiber and my uncle is complaining that his safe Google Safe Search setting is Locked On in his Android VIVO mobile. He says he was able to turn it off/on while on the previous broadband internet connection. But on my phone and my account, on the same jio fiber connection I can turn off/on the safe search setting. I also tried logged on uncle's Google account in my phone, and I'm able to turn it on/off. So that means it's not an Google settings issue. But again, when he uses cellular data on his phone the safe search is unlocked and he's able to turn it off/on. So I'm really confused as to what's the issue.

I currently have a 60 down/5 up mbps VDSL line for my home internet, connected to: AVM Fritz!Box 7490 VDSL modem (German brand of modems with VOIP built-in) 16 port basic Gigabit switch Unifi UAP-AC-LR Access Point QNap 1 bay NAS drive Asus PN50 (AMD Ryzen 4300) mini server with OpenMediaVault for plex/docker/development servers All my computers and devices are connected with 1 gigabit connections, and wireless is provided over the Unifi 5GHz network. According to my local testing most of the devices are capable to reach my local network with speeds above 300-400mbps, I've done the testing with the LibreSpeed speedtest docker image (a locally hosted speedtest server to test your local network internally). My S21 Ultra smartphone can connect to my local network at around 400-500mbps, my 7 years old workstation laptop can connect with around 300mbps, gaming PC with wired gigabit can easily surpass 900mbps. In around a week I will be getting a fiber FTTH connection of 300mbps, are there any changes I should make, or things I should add to my network to have a better high-speed experience? I want to benefit from the new high speed for online gaming, 4k streaming and most important have some reliable online backup for my home workstation, I currently do local backups on the NAS and removable HDD which are always at risk.

I recently switched from 1Gig Comcast to 10G Sonic fiber (for less $ per month too). I want to see how baller this can truly be, so I upgraded my router to an ASUS RT-AX89X because it was (2) 10 Gig ports that can both be configured as WAN or LAN. I also installed a 10G NIC on my PC. Despite this I'm only getting 1.6G / 0.9G max. Here's my config: 10G SFP+ NIC in motherboard's PCIe port > 10G SFP+ DAC cable > ASUS RT-AX89X 10G SFP+ port > ASUS RT-AX89X 10G RJ45 port (configured to be WAN port) > Cat6 > ISP ONT 10G port. Any ideas why I'm unable to achieve nearly 10Gbps speed when running a speedtest? Another weird note, not sure if it's part of the problem, but my router thinks the closest server is on the east coast while I'm sitting here on the west coast (North America). Same on Ookla. When I force it to a more local server, it performs even works with double the ping. What do you think, docs?

Hi guys, I got a bit of an odd situation. I have several locations that are too far apart to connect them with ethernet cables but individuall they do not require a large bandwidth (100-200 Mbit max. I expect). So Im in need of a switch that has many SFP ports and few Ethernet ports (ideally at least one of them 10G) but the usual application is the exact opposite. Can anyone recommend me a switch like this if it exists?

I recently upgraded my internet plan with my ISP and I got a 300Mb/s fiber connection. What I noticed is that my laptop only supports up to 100Mb/s ethernet speeds, so I want to get a USB ethernet adapter to use. The question is: Will a USB 2.0 Ethernet adapter, plugged into a USB 2.0 port on my laptop, be able to support the full speed of my plan?

Hello! is it possible to use a desktop PC (HP Z400 workstation) as a server? I have a 2 port Fiber PCIE card installed in it but cant seem to find a way to access the information in my drive storage unit (apple Xserve RAID) at all on windows 10, or windows server 2016. Been trying to accomplish this for years, cant seem it figure it out. Any tips?

hey everyone! currently for my house, i am running a network stack from unifi, (Pro-4 Gateway -> XG Ag switch -> 16 port POE, 24 Port Gigabit) and i was wondering if there was a cable that exists where it is a DAC cable, but SFP/SFP + on one end, to standard RJ45 on the other. and it it could be bidirectional that would be amazing, or if not i could make it work too.

Important information: I have frontier internet (fiber) 500/500mbps Current router: Netgear Nighthawk X6S - Model: R7960P All tests were done on hard-wired internet Problem: So in the past whenever I downloaded games they would download at 45-55mb a second. Recently when I download games they hover around 20-30mb a second which is pretty much half as before. So I decided to try the router Frontier provided and all of a sudden downloads went back to 45-55mb a second. Obviously I want to use my Netgear router because it just simply has better wifi performance. So what am I doing wrong and how do I fix this problem? Update: still slow

REPOST: STILL LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER. Important information: I have frontier internet (fiber) 500/500mbps Current router: Netgear Nighthawk X6S - Model: R7960P All tests were done on hard-wired internet mbps = megabits per second in the post above. And the direct translation I am using is 500 Mbps = 59.6 MB/second download speed. Frointer device: Arris NVG468MQ. Yes I do get a wireless signal from that device. Frontier router: Speedtest.com: D- 380.56 U-490.32 https://ibb.co/Rz3LZWh https://ibb.co/HVVT6Dc Netgear router: Speedtest.com: D- 490.28 U- 530.97 https://ibb.co/rbd0skp https://ibb.co/1MM964x Problem: So in the past whenever I downloaded games they would download at 45-55mb a second.

Ok so I have FIOS 500/500 plan. The modem is installed in my garage. From there the main internet line is in my office connected to my netgear x6s router. Key: 500mbps = 59.6 MB/second download speeds When I download games I get 25-30MB/second, which seemed off. So I unplugged my netgear router and tried the default router they gave me when they installed my service. All of sudden 50-60MB/seconds on BattleNet. Unplugged and replugged both router and did the test 3 times and same result. So went to the store bought and $300 netgear router (returned it today) and same result, slow speeds. So what the heck is going on? Note: please don’t say it’s the game servers. The tests were done literally five minutes apart multiple times.

Fiber internet is not available in my area as we are about 1km away where it is available. Can I put 1km fiber or dsl so that we'll have better internet here?

I am getting AT&T Fiber within the next few days (1-3 days), I have 2 home servers and I want to host a game server off one for a friend that streams on Twitch, AT&T says they provide 1Gbps (1000mbps)..and I would like to know if anyone knows more info, would I be safe from most kiddos bought 'booters/stressors' from my home network of 1Gbps? Thanks for ya time
