thick minnow
#

are my current access list

#

and nat

#

like i said, there's already a extensive deny on stuff

hollow marlin
#

@peak cloak Unfortunately ASA is a whole different OS than IOS and I have never looked into it

#

@thick minnow A quick google though it should resemble:
`object network MC-server
host 10.10.110.202

nat (inside,outside) static MC-server service tcp 25565 25565
nat (inside,outside) static MC-server service udp 19132 19132
nat (inside,outside) static MC-server service udp 19133 19133
nat (inside,outside) static MC-server service udp 25565 25565

access-list inboundfilter extended permit tcp any any eq 25565
access-list inboundfilter extended permit udp any any eq 19132
access-list inboundfilter extended permit udp any any eq 19133
access-list inboundfilter extended permit udp any any eq 25565`

#

There might be service objects you can create to clear it up but like I said I know IOS, not ASA

waxen scroll
#

You have eve

hollow marlin
#

I do and the asa but I refuse to learn more asa than what I already have

#

๐Ÿคฎ

thick minnow
#

I only now saw the ping

#

Big love thanks

thick minnow
#

@hollow marlin still online?

hollow marlin
#

Yeah, can't help much with a minecraft server though

#

I would make sure you have all the ports needed in the config

thick minnow
#

remote connection port is not needed (25575)

#

server port is at 25565

#

can i try a tracert on the ip and port?

swift plover
#

will i be better off running an ethernet cable connected to a router in my room or using those lil range extenders that plug into a wall

#

idk if this is the right chat

hollow marlin
#

@thick minnow you'll need to use a tool like nmap. Traceroute uses ICMP which doesn't have a port #.

#

Is the test a remote test or are you testing within your LAN

thick minnow
#

remote test

#

my (in network) pc is trying to remote test to my server

#

by calling my public ip

hollow marlin
#

That will not work. That's called hairpinning. NAT will translate when it goes from an inside zone to outside zone, and vice versa.

#

You will have to actually test from a public IP

thick minnow
#

would you mind being test bunny?

thorny vector
#

Oh my god, you guys are still at it?

thick minnow
#

yes!

#

i've been on this for the past 8 hours

#

and i need get this fixed/ready

#

@hollow marlin would you mind being the public?

#

the slide the ip in dm for a moment

hollow marlin
#

Sorry I don't have MC. Someone in the gaming channels might be available

thorny vector
#

Can just telnet or nc to the port ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

thick minnow
#

i have a deny all telnet in my router settings somewhere

thorny vector
#

probably just for the port. Telnet can point to any port, it can be really useful for banner grabbing

hollow marlin
#

SSH to the port will be better because you'll at least get a TCP reset response

#

that big chunk is running config

#

DVI makes nat inside so repeditive

thorny vector
#

Out of my own curiosity, why blacklist acl instead of whitelist?

thick minnow
#

"i modified a large setup lurik gave me ages ago"

#

lurick

#

i only know about 70% what it all does

thorny vector
#

@hollow marlin I was so happy when my work transitioned from all cisco to mostly pfsense whiteboxes

thick minnow
#

so you might got a clue why stuff aint reaching?

hollow marlin
#

Should of went JuniperpepoJuice

thick minnow
#

(i won the thing, from a competition) i wasn't going to ever stare a given horse in the mouth

thorny vector
#

We build out a lot of virtual kits, so its advantageous to do pfsense, since it virtualizes so well.

thick minnow
#

but on the server side i aint doing anything wrong right?

#

it is listening to the right port

thorny vector
#

And you can connect locally?

thick minnow
#

(well i can reach it locally, so it coudn't be wrong could it?)

#

if my lan pc with 10.10.110.201 (static ip) goes and asks 10.10.110.202 (static ip) to join minecraft i get on

hollow marlin
#

You'll need a live test from the public to confirm the FW rules and static NAT. If you are able to hotspot or tether over 4g you can try testing that way

topaz quarry
#

opnsense makes stuff so easy

thorny vector
#

shoot me your domain/ip addr, I'll do a port test

topaz quarry
#

you know you can do port tests with online apps?

hollow marlin
#

@thorny vector Juniper does have virtual for route/switch/firewall. If I remember the license cost is actually very low

topaz quarry
#

or just use your phone?

#

vyos is less complicated then both of these things . . .

#

and Pfsense/OPNSense are braindead simple

thorny vector
#

@hollow marlin Cost at all means that its a no go ๐Ÿ˜„

hollow marlin
#

Lol. I can't argue that

topaz quarry
#

adopting rolling release model for consumers

#

support costs for enterprises

thorny vector
#

Turns out our asset manager was tight fisting a shit ton of microsoft product keys, as well as some other products

topaz quarry
#

is probably the most economical way to get support for your platform

thorny vector
#

I totally raided that excel document

thick minnow
#

raided?

topaz quarry
#

probably used multi-use keys for certain software

#

and someone kept it all in one place

thick minnow
#

@thorny vector can i aslo shoot ya the full router config?

thorny vector
#

Made him put in on my drive. And nope, these babies were FRESH

#

@thick minnow Yeah, go ahead. No promises, like juan, I never used ASA stuff, just IOS

thick minnow
#

asa has 8 router interfaces

#

had to bridge them together

#

but on nat i have to do nat on each of them individually

#

somehow

thorny vector
#

That might be the issue, nat-ing them for each interface. I also just did a port scan of your ip, no open ports at all

thick minnow
#

so, what could i do if that's the current running config

#

im 100% sure i fired off
access-list outboundfilter extended permit ip any any
access-list inboundfilter extended permit tcp any any eq 25565
access-list inboundfilter extended permit udp any any eq 19132
access-list inboundfilter extended permit udp any any eq 19133
access-list inboundfilter extended permit udp any any eq 25565

#

after the others

hollow marlin
#

If each interface is bridged you are going to have to make the bridge interface (10.10.110.1 or whatever it's set to) the inside and only NAT to that

thorny vector
#

(Do you not have a switch you can put on the inside, so you can just have a single LAN port, and some sanity?)

thick minnow
#

unfortunatly: no

#

dont even have a power adepter to plug it in, and the asa (last i checked) doesnt do poe

thorny vector
#

You can get a cheap 5-port dumb switch. You can get those to run off USB 5v

hollow marlin
#

That or setup an interface under another subnet that only connects to the server

thorny vector
#

lol, a /30 for it

hollow marlin
#

Raise you higher and /31

thick minnow
#

i could do a /30 for it

#

it's on gigabit 4

thorny vector
#

That'd probably be easier to troubleshoot

#

that was from show nat

#

gigabit 1 is modem (outside world)

#

interface GigabitEthernet1/4 abd than give it a ip adress range

#

(problem: my only connection right now to both server and router, both with static ips, is SSH

#

so if i pull the server's port off the lan network i lose access to it and access to modify ip

thorny vector
#

Yeah. You can jank through this, but I'd REEEEEEEALLY recommend getting a switch.

thick minnow
#

i will REAAAAALY do that soon, but it's nothing i can do at (checks clock) 6:14 am

#

so i assume our 1st start is to alter the config of the server, before i lose access to that?

thorny vector
#

Do you have any usb nic's laying around? Can use that to set up your server without losing internet

thick minnow
#

nope, nothing. all i got is a com-port cable that doesnt reach from my desktop to the router

hollow marlin
#

What is the config for bridging the interfaces?

thick minnow
#

just slid full config to dm

hollow marlin
#

Yeah you might want to change the inside_X with just inside thats under the BVI

thick minnow
#

in nat?

#

that was the original, shit didn't work

hollow marlin
#

It should work. The current setup with NAT, specifically PAT, will be fine. But you are now dealing with static NAT that would not know what zone to forward too

thick minnow
#

if i can be honest, ya lost me

#

fyi, witht the thing i gave you, if you want, i can just delete all current config and start over

#

as long as we keep the ssh

hollow marlin
#

NAT is just network address translation, really is a 1:1 translation. PAT is port address translation which is a subtype of NAT and dynamically will assign an external port and translate many:1. This is what people are used to.

thick minnow
#

if i can say my most fervent wish: i can keep my bridge and my current subnet and everything works (if that's possible)

hollow marlin
#

When you PAT the bridge will keep track of the MAC table and the NAT translation table will keep track of the src IP. With static NAT it needs to know where to forward it and where interface based NAT rules fall apart with bridge domains. At least my assumption ASA would treat it that way as other vendors do

#

Thats where Junipers commit confirmed is amazing, you can wipe a config, make all the changes and if it breaks it will roll itself back after a set period of time

thick minnow
#

i got what i got

#

i can have a Netgear ProSAFE GS108E - Netwerk Switch - Smart managed for 27 euro in about 24 hour

#

scratch that @hollow marlin it's here in 11 hours

hollow marlin
#

Quick google on cisco community and apparently on the 5506 BVI and NAT is broke as shit and the work around if for NAT on interfaces. They never fixed it apparently.

thick minnow
#

so for now, im letting this (issue) rest for the next 11 hours, are you ok with being pinged in 11 hours?

hollow marlin
#

Well one last thing to try is remove the MC-server NAT rules off every port except for the port the server is plugged into for shits and giggles.

#

And yeah ill be around

thick minnow
#

than we have a router with 1 port in 1 port out && a switch

hollow marlin
#

Yeah much better

thick minnow
#

so, how can i yeet off the nat rules?

#

just before sleep

hollow marlin
#

should just be no nat (inside_1,outside) static MC-server service tcp 25565 25565

orchid shell
#

can a router that takes WAN get internet from a LAN port

thick minnow
#

ERROR: nat config not found for object MC-server

hollow marlin
#

I would just type no and ? each time to see what it allows you to enter. IOS just is no then the config

thick minnow
#

for acl line 14 would overwrite line 1 right?

thick minnow
#

@hollow marlin i have a feeling it's my ACL that's been doing me in all this time

#

and that on the inbound filter rules arent in the right order

Hey guys, So my girlfriend just moved into a basement appartment and her internet is horrible there, Shes using their wifi for now, in a couple of days her internet provider is gonn head over and see if they can set up her own internet downstairs, But shes freaking out because she doesnt know if its gonna work out or not, They have a coaxil cord coming from the upstairs into her room,which makes me believe that she'll be fine, but If they end up not being able to setup her own internet is it possible to get her own router from that coaxial cord? Maybe i get a coaxial to ethernet adapater then she can buy her own router?

ornate jungle
#

@covert sentinel if they can max the coax cable "active" (aka ensure it has signal coming in from the street) there's no reason she can't have her own modem connected.

#

This will probably require her setup her own internet account though, at whatever the costs are.

covert sentinel
#

Okay, yea apparently the cords down there for cable, someone used to have a cable box down there

#

She has an account, shes just moving it over and is unsure if they can set it up in the basement

#

i think its 2 different internet providers

ornate jungle
#

Most cable providers can set up multiple modems as long as the house receives service from the provider. Is this in Canada or USA?

covert sentinel
#

Canada

#

Sorry

ornate jungle
#

All good. West or East coast? ๐Ÿ˜„

covert sentinel
#

I forget what her provider is sadly

#

Missisauga

#

so east

ornate jungle
#

Ah kk, I'm mostly familiar with ISPs out in West Canada. You guys just have a few more resellers to choose from, in addition to the big 2 (Rogers / Bell) but otherwise it should be similar over there when it comes to connecting multiple providers to an address when there's a basement suite or rental.

covert sentinel
#

So you think she'd be fine?

#

If not any suggestions on ways she can improve her internet down there? its really bad, we cant even videocall anymore

ornate jungle
#

Improve the source of wherever the WiFi comes from. Which either a) means upgrading the existing accesspoint or b) moving closer to it. Totally get that a) might be impossible if it's not her's to upgrade, but that's really the best way to make WiFi better.

covert sentinel
#

Damn, She cant do anything with that cord?

#

Like get a coax to ethernet wire?

ornate jungle
#

Uhhh that's not how Coax works. There are MoCA adapters that can use existing Coax wiring to create an ethernet network, however, that requires an adapter at each end, AND nothing else in the home can really be using Coax for other things unless it's explicitly compatible.

thick minnow
#

Ur gf is bugging out she has a cable the isp just need to attach a modem and give her a connection

#

Tell her relax ffs

covert sentinel
#

Even if its a different isp? @thick minnow

#

and @ornate jungle Thank you so much, you've informed me about alot lool

thick minnow
#

Whoever owns the cable network

covert sentinel
#

shes with a different company

thick minnow
#

Then call the one who owns the cable network

covert sentinel
#

they already have internet, she wanted to know if she can move her provider there or if she'd need to join the company thats at the residence already

thick minnow
#

Ask the isp they should know

covert sentinel
#

Kk thanks

#

Hey guys

#

I want to work in Data centers or in servers and im trying to learn code for them

#

any recomendations?

peak cloak
#

wdym by code? there are so many sub catergories

#

kubernetes, ansible, maas, etc.

#

openshift

#

openstiack

#

@dusty harness

dusty harness
#

Like code to move through the OS. Like a data scientist

#

ik linux is the go to and i use linux

#

but i just want to know if there is any automatization that i can make

peak cloak
#

in datacenters I think it's a lot of automation

#

stuff like ansible

dusty harness
#

Is SQL useful?

peak cloak
#

ansible can be useful

#

SQL is more on the developer side, but it won't hurt to know it

#

Ansible is basically a way to automate tasks, like lets say creating a VM and installing an OS on it

dusty harness
#

Thanks man!

peak cloak
#

I'm learning ansible rn, in my homelab

dusty harness
#

Do you know any websites to learn?

#

or its just self taught?

peak cloak
#

I just self-taught, using the docs

#

a homelab can help with learning, either locally or in the cloud

dusty harness
#

thank you man!

Can I โ€œhackโ€ my schools password protected wifi? Its WPA2.

peak cloak

could you, probobly, should you, no. Will I help you? no.

swift hornet
#

We have got the password to the other wifi but we have another building with a different password

#

so idk

thick minnow

Hi guys!

#

Grabbed a 500GB SAS Drive for ยฃ10. Not sure if I'm able to use it aha.

peak cloak
#

you have a SAS cable?

#

you will need an adapter

dim willow
#

Nope none of that

#

Wait it says sata

#

But looks like a sas

peak cloak
#

oh it's in a caddy

#

yeah it's SATA

dim willow
#

Yay

peak cloak
#

is that a dell or hp caddy?

dim willow
#

Don't know

peak cloak
#

take a pic from the front

dim willow
#

Think it's HP

jaunty talon
#

Thats HP indeed

peak cloak
#

yeah

dim willow
#

Yes. Is it good for ยฃ10m

#

*?

peak cloak
#

depends on the SMART data

dim willow
#

If it relatively healthy?

peak cloak
#

but if SMART shows no errors, then yeah

#

yeah

dim willow
#

What's special about it?

#

Idk anything about these drives. Is it good for 24/7 operation?

#

Ideally to host my Lineage builds for download

peak cloak
#

yeah it's an enterprise drive

#

they go for 45 bucks

#

the caddy is like 5-10 more bucks

Won't power off of USB, Guessing it'll need to be internal, desktop only?

peak cloak
#

I have one of those sata to usb readers with an external power brick, I think usb power may not be enough

tame carbon
#

look up MTBF on the drive

#

check how much SMART reports

#

if its <50%, i would only trust raid 1

#

using a filesystem that is fault tolerant like btrfs

#

SMART doesnt always report problems, drive may return corrupt data without any notice

#

btrfs can at least, verify checksums on both mirrors

peak cloak
#

yeah, btrfs or zfs for critical data

tame carbon
#

Level1 has good topic on this

#

He explains the situations in which SMART may not report correctly

#

and shows how filesystems can remedy this

#

Because not every RAID controller can properly read and act on SMART data

i found an old pci express ethernet adapter with product name intel gigabit ct2. Does it have any resell value or should i keep it in case i ever need it?

#

i found it on newegg for 139.99 but that cant be right

peak cloak
#

it's from 2008 and gigabit is found on almost every motherboard anyway

fallow python
#

yeah thats what i thought

peak cloak
#

if it was more than one NIC then maybe

#

like 4 ports

fallow python
#

its just 1

peak cloak
#

yeah

fallow python
#

however, i have access to 2 dsl lines, is there anyway i can combine the bandwith now that i have 2 total ethernet ports?

#

ive heard of some software called speedify but that includes a vpn and i dont want that since you cant turn it off

#

kinda like what linus did in an old video but with no extra hardware

peak cloak
#

wdym by 2 dsl lines? 2 from your isp?

fallow python
#

basicaly

peak cloak
#

shouldn't they be bonded at your router?

fallow python
#

its a bit more complicated

#

i have a line at my apartment with a modem-router

#

and i have access to the modem-router of the apartment right next to me

#

so i can get an ethernet cable from there to my pc

peak cloak
#

hmm, it may be possible, but not combined bandwidth

#

but that's over my head

fallow python
#

thanks for your time

#

if anyone has a solution for this please let me know, internet speeds here are so terrible that it will really make a difference

tame carbon
#

You need some kind of internet service, that allows you to bond two connections together

#

that is, if you have more than one way to access the internet

#

If you can get bonded DSL, its faster and easier

#

say, 2 phone lines, can be stacked for roughly double speed

fallow python
#

ive got one line with 30/3 and one with 12/1

tame carbon
#

Are they both DSL or cable?

fallow python
#

both dsl

tame carbon
#

yeah check that video

#

idk if there's alternatives to what they are shilling for

#

do some looking around

#

it wont speed up single downloads!

fallow python
#

dont i need that weird box to combine them?

tame carbon
#

but it allows multiple connections to be load balanced over the two connections you have

fallow python
#

so a load balancing router?

tame carbon
#

yeah basically

#

ISPs that provide this, basically provide a way for you to tunnel through their network, and exposing them as a single IP

fallow python
#

look up "connectify dispatch"

#

its a discontinued programm that did exactly what i want to

tame carbon
#

yeah you can do that on windows out of the box

#

don't need some weird program for that

fallow python
#

how?

tame carbon
#

its called wifi tethering

#

same way that phones can do it

#

your computer can tether ethernet to its wifi antenna

#

its under wifi in windows settings

fallow python
#

im not talking about that

#

thats connectify hotspot

#

dispatch lets you combine available connections to increase bandwith

#

even for single downloads

tame carbon
#

yeah this is some weird ass windows stuff

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

#

idk shit about this

fallow python
#

oh well

tame carbon
#

I use linux :3

#

glad I dont have your problems lol

fallow python
#

but wait

#

even if i cant bond the 2 connections, shouldnt i be able to just run 2 ethernet cables to the same router to get better lan speeds?

tame carbon
#

This is kind of what you are looking at

peak cloak
#

@fallow python yeah, if you router supports it

#

it won't speed up single downloads though

tame carbon
#

^

#

one connection can only be one of the two DSL connections

#

with Per-Traffic Loadbalancing

#

you can prioritize certain ports and services to use other connection

#

@hollow marlin enlighten us

hollow marlin
#

Bonding will get net you true combine bandwidth because it utilizes ATM. The only issue is you will need matching or similar speeds or it can overload the buffer on the blades

fallow python
#

isnt ~25 simillar enough to 13?

tame carbon
#

not for adsl

hollow marlin
#

No, too much of a difference

tame carbon
#

bonding is also less reliable than single line

#

but thats another story

hollow marlin
#

Yes, do to the nature that DSL is arse and interference can knock out channels are cause a resync of both lines. Especially when you get to the limit of ADSL2, 25m

fiber ftw

fallow python
#

no fiber in my area ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

my isp installed fiber lines directly next to my house but said "it will take a few months for them to be activated"

#

that was a year ago

tame carbon
#

do you have a patch box yet?

#

or is it just the tube?

fallow python
#

not sure

tame carbon
#

the problem

#

is that they have to do a laser test on that

#

and requires two people

#

they literally put laserpointer on the fiber and see if it works lol

#

in datacenters they do that too, they use special connectors on the fibers that let red light through

#

so if you put laserpointer on the other side

#

they light up brightly

fallow python
#

the fastest internet you can get here is 200/200 but thats only in 2 cities in the entire country. the rest are stuck with 200/20 or 50/5 at best

oof

fallow python

every isp in greece is terrible

tame carbon

yes

#

because they all rent the lines from the same ISP

fallow python

exactly

tame carbon

and that ISP doesnt care

because not their customers

so service is bad

if you get adsl 24mbps its 5mbit download

fiber is the only way to improve

^^^

#

what are internet prices like in coutries with wide fiber coverage?

#

here you can get 100/10 with like 40-50euros/month

it's 940/800 fiber advertized for $70 bucks per month but in reality it's more like 120-140

I think I can mount another post in the back if I can find the right part

I got it for 50 bucks

So the other 2 posts will probobly cost me like 2x the original rack

tbh 2 post is probably fine

as long as it's balanced

I always want to slapp blob for using 10 space on a home network

@hollow marlin what do you think

hollow marlin
#

Wellllll... I use 10.150 because I'm too lazy to type 192.168

peak cloak
#

I use the 10 space, is that bad

waxen scroll
#

It's bad because if your company isn't one that forces all traffic though VPN, it's possible that your 10 address conflicts with something on their network and could possibly prevent you from reaching out

#

So if blobs family uses vpn, his net could conflict

#

Us IT people expect 192.168.0.0 and 1.0

peak cloak
#

Hmm, both parents use VPN for work, had no problems

#

Also I think verizon ISP routers use the 10 space

hollow marlin
#

All depends on their works subnet. I know my network so it's no problem but yeah it can break things if you use the subnet

#

The 10 space in your ISP is not involved. You PC is what will decide to either send traffic over the VPN or routed as normal

peak cloak
#

I meant that verizon provided consumer routers use the 10 space

VZ mpls also uses 65000. I hate that

what are ASN's needed for in the internet? Isn't it an identifier for an ISP?

waxen scroll

pretty much

its also used for loop protection

if im ASN 1 and another provider ASN 10 learns my routes and sends them to ASN 2, if ASN 2 sends the routes to me (ASN 1) i drop them

anyway. worked at a company who used 65000 as their main datacenter ASN and then they onboarded verizon

Can anyone suggest a good wifi extender? My girlfriend recently moved into a basement apartment and their wifi is ass downstairs

wifi extenders all suck

#

Run a cable, with a 2nd access point

covert sentinel
#

i know but she has no choice, her provider said they cant give her her own internet down there because she doesnt have a phone line, only coax

#

she can do that?

tame carbon
#

idk, can she?

covert sentinel
#

we'd need permission from her landlord, they live upstairs

tame carbon
#

If you have internet elsewhere in the house

#

you can try running an ethernet cable

covert sentinel
#

she has a coax cable running from upstairs to the downstairs

#

but thats it

peak cloak
#

you can use moca

#

but moca converters are expensie

tame carbon
#

Powerline ethernet is still superior for home applications

covert sentinel
#

how expensive?

tame carbon
#

@covert sentinel you do have internet in that building currently?

covert sentinel
#

She does yea, shes using wifi but its so bad downstairs

tame carbon
#

Have you looked into ethernet over powerline?

covert sentinel
#

the only thing she has in her room is a coax port

tame carbon
#

They plug into the wall, and use the housewiring to transmit data

covert sentinel
#

would they need to drill holes?

peak cloak
#

no

covert sentinel
#

her lease says she cant damage the walls

tame carbon
#

It just plugs into the existing house wiring, you have two of them

covert sentinel
#

aka drill holes for anything

tame carbon
#

one near the router, and the other wherever you need internet

peak cloak
#

it looks lik ethis

covert sentinel
#

Can she do it herself or would their provider need to come out?

peak cloak
#

no, you can do everything yourself

tame carbon
#

you can buy these online

#

they come as a set of two

peak cloak
#

the only reason you would need a tech if it's something on the ISP's end

tame carbon
#

if you want wifi in the basement, you'd also need to pair that ^ with an access point

covert sentinel
#

access point?

#

like a router?

tame carbon
#

router is a router

#

access point provides a wifi network

#

most home routers are an "all in one"

covert sentinel
#

ah okay makes sense

tame carbon
#

so they are both an AP and a router

#

@peak cloak we need like a list, or set of "often used solutions" we can link

#

Ah can you help me find a ap? cause im confused haha

because amount of times a day, people ask for this exact problem

#

@covert sentinel mh. I'm afraid my recommendations will fall short for non tech savvy users

yeah

tame carbon
#

I don't know what else to suggest beyond Mikrotik xD

covert sentinel
#

i just need anything she can buy and connect to the powerline

peak cloak
#

omada

covert sentinel
#

for wifi

#

cause we video call alot

covert sentinel
#

Okay thank you, Ive learned quite a bit

#

powerline might work

tame carbon
#

@covert sentinel powerline is step 1.

covert sentinel
#

it depends of they have a empty plug up there

tame carbon
#

any wifi AP or home router will suffice to provide wireless

covert sentinel
#

and if the connection will be strong since shes downstairs in the basement

tame carbon
#

@covert sentinel wifi extenders are the worst solution, because it adds more noise to the signal space

#

so the better solution, is another access point, that is wired

covert sentinel
#

yea she was gonna drop 90 on a extender, and i said no

#

i knew there was a better choice

make sure powerline works well

tame carbon

^

covert sentinel
#

how would she do that

peak cloak
#

powerline quality deoends on alot of factors

lofty pumice
#

guys is it normal that mesh Wi-Fi doesn't work well? for example my phone doesn't sometimes pick my secondary repeater/access point if I'm not already connected to the access point built in the router or sometimes it keeps connected to the secondary access point even when it isn't the one with the most powerful signal.

tame carbon
#

Powerline has its niche uses, both sockets need to be on the same phase/circuit

peak cloak
#

I would buy one and if it doesn't work well return it

tame carbon
#

@lofty pumice yes wifi mesh is bad

covert sentinel
#

ok ty guys ๐Ÿ™‚

#

appreciate it alot

tame carbon
#

@covert sentinel what PresentMonkey said, order the powerline kit, test it. if you cannot get it to work due to house wiring. Just get a refund

#

and then consider alternatives

covert sentinel
#

Alright ill let her know, i really hope it works

lofty pumice
#

@lofty pumice yes wifi mesh is bad
@tame carbon is there any other methods the extend the wi fi range? I've stted all the settings perfectly on the repeater, frequency, channel, ssid, security, psw.

tame carbon
#

@lofty pumice scroll up, @covert sentinel had the exact same question

covert sentinel
#

and if it doesnt what are some good alternatives? Can she set up a router downstairs if she goes through their provider?

#

like get a extender?

tame carbon
#

@covert sentinel well, an ethernet cable is the only reasonable solution

peak cloak
#

extender is a last resort

tame carbon
#

wifi extenders add more problems

#

they are very unreliable

covert sentinel
#

not wifi extender, like have the provider come out and add a router downstairs through the coax

#

is that even possible? sorry im ignorant haha

tame carbon
#

You'd have to get a 2nd subscription if you wanted that

#

if at all possible

covert sentinel
#

yea she'd be willing, i guess she'd have to call and ask

lofty pumice
#

@covert sentinel isn't having a second access point the same as wi fi mesh?

peak cloak
#

no

tame carbon
#

mesh wifi connects to your existing network, and makes another network from that

peak cloak
#

because the backbone is over ethernet not wifi

#

takes up more wifi bandwidth

tame carbon
#

@peak cloak we need to set world record for longest mesh chain

#

buy 100 wifi extenders

#

and see how far we can get, before our pr0n stops streaming

lofty pumice
#

because the backbone is over ethernet not wifi
@peak cloak my "repeater" it's a powerline one

#

I use this kit

#

so the backone is not over wi fi @peak cloak

tame carbon
#

interesting

#

@covert sentinel this does the same, but has the wifi built in

covert sentinel
#

okay that works

lofty pumice
#

@tame carbon but as I said I'm having some minor problems with it

tame carbon
#

mh?

#

does it have a LAN port underneath?

#

so you can verify without the wifi

lofty pumice
#

verify what?

#

yes it has 3

tame carbon
#

could be the powerline itself that is causing issues

lofty pumice
#

no the connection is working

#

it's about the mesh wi-fi

tame carbon
#

mesh wifi is something else

lofty pumice
#

what do you mean with mesh wi fi then?

tame carbon
#

mesh is just, wifi, between two access points

lofty pumice
#

so is my wi fi a mesh?

#

I have the access point in the router and the one in the powerline

tame carbon
#

You just said it yourself, it is a powerline backbone

#

so no

#

nah, you just have two basestations

#

a basestation = an AP

lofty pumice
#

oh ok

#

and it shouldn't work with these problems?

tame carbon
#

if you have both networks configured on your client, client should pick the one with the strongest signal

#

if you want roaming capabilities, for seamless handoff between access points

#

you need a controller

lofty pumice
#

what's a seamless handoff?

tame carbon
#

roaming

#

so connection doesnt drop when it switches from one AP to the other

#

if you move from say, upstairs to downstairs

lofty pumice
#

I'm not English mother tongue sorry

tame carbon
#

if you have two APs, A and B

#

and you are connected to A, and walk towards B

lofty pumice
#

if you move from say, upstairs to downstairs
@tame carbon yeah but thats not the problem

#

it's like the transition is unhaven

tame carbon
#

Yeah, it uses network A, even though B has stronger signal

#

typical

#

xD

lofty pumice
#

is there any solution?

tame carbon
#

I just explained that to you

#

Its called seamless handoff, and is most often used in enterprise grade networks

lofty pumice
#

ah ok sorry

tame carbon
#

thats why the wifi in a university just works

lofty pumice
#

Its called seamless handoff, and is most often used in enterprise grade networks
@tame carbon so you wouldn't suggest that?

tame carbon
#

@lofty pumice Unify networks has solutions for this, but its rather expensive

peak cloak
#

@tame carbon isn't there an IEEE standard for that

#

like 802.1v or k

hollow marlin
#

Unifi does support it, 802.11r/k

tame carbon
#

Not seen that on any consumer grade routing gear

peak cloak
#

hmm

hollow marlin
#

At the consumer level Unfi is all I know that does

tame carbon
#

mtik can do it too

lofty pumice
#

like 802.1v or k
@peak cloak 802.11f (IAPP)?

peak cloak
#

I think Omada may, idk though

#

wthout the controller

tame carbon
#

@lofty pumice quoting from wikipedia: 802.11k is intended to improve the way traffic is distributed within a network. In a wireless LAN, each device normally connects to the access point (AP) that provides the strongest signal. Depending on the number and geographic locations of the subscribers, this arrangement can sometimes lead to excessive demand on one AP and underutilization of others, resulting in degradation of overall network performance. In a network conforming to 802.11k, if the AP having the strongest signal is loaded to its full capacity, a wireless device is connected to one of the underutilized APs. Even though the signal may be weaker, the overall throughput is greater because more efficient use is made of the network resources.

#

@hollow marlin does this work with any 802.11b/g/n client?

#

or does the client hardware also have to have support?

hollow marlin
#

@tame carbon r/k is probably the top 5 most demanded on Mikrotik forums too. Many want this added with capsman

tame carbon
#

@hollow marlin I was under the impression, that caps does this already

hollow marlin
#

Unfortunately no, you have to use access-list for signal to kick clients in the head to roam. I cannot remember is r/k need client support

#

I do not think it does

#

I could be wrong though

lofty pumice
#

so for a seamless handoff I need to get an entirely new ap?

tame carbon
#

@hollow marlin good that I know this now, before investing xD

#

I have to set up a big wireless network end of this year for my dad

#

still unsure what exactly to get

#

Its supposedly going to be 5+ APs, covering quite a large outdoor area

lofty pumice
#

anyway thank you for your help @tame carbon

hollow marlin
#

@tame carbon Proper AP placement and adjusting power matters far more than r/k support. You can add on the access-list rules to then kick a client when it gets to -80 to assist with "roaming"

#

If you have time listen to some podcast that have wireless engineers for events such as stadiums or conferences. They dig it in heavily that placement/power/bandwidth per user is 90% of the user experience. r/k are just a nice bonus.

#

It will also reinforce you to never want to be a wireless engineer

#

For my wedding last year we rented a large tent in my parents backyard in the mountains. Basically zero cell service but they did have a 400meg Spectrum connection. I setup 5 hAP ac2 in capsman and had many 100-150 connected and worked flawlessly.

@tame carbon Proper AP placement and adjusting power matters far more than r/k support. You can add on the access-list rules to then kick a client when it gets to -80 to assist with "roaming"
@hollow marlin unfortunately my 2 ap don't offer that kind of settings

peak cloak
#

capsman iirc is a mikrotik thing

lofty pumice
#

is it important to set the same channel on two different ap for a better transition?

#

or for a better experience in general

thick minnow
#

for some reason i cant connect to my router admin page

#

ive tried all the 192.168. whatever there are

#

https

#

nothing

grizzled cove
#

What router is it

thick minnow
#

netgear r7000

#

frontier is isp

#

had no issues accessing the admin page 3 months ago

lofty pumice
#

netgear r7000
@thick minnow just check the ip on the phone, do you have an iphone?

thick minnow
#

i did

#

tried that too

lofty pumice
#

the problem is that you can't find the address for the control page?

thick minnow
#

it just connect infinitly

#

whenever i reset my router i can access it for like a minute

#

^ ip adress

grizzled cove
#

So you're trying to access it externally ?

peak cloak
#

that's you public ip

thick minnow
#

im on ethernet

peak cloak
#

what's your gateway ip

#

on windows just show me the output of ipconfig

grizzled cove
#

Netgear usually set their IP's to 192.168.1.1 for routers

thick minnow
#

thats what cmd says

peak cloak
#

connect to that ip

lofty pumice
#

exactly

thick minnow
#

ive been able to connect to it previously

#

but not anymore

#

i havent done anything to the settings on the router other than portfowarding

lofty pumice
#

are you connected to the router?

thick minnow
#

yeah

lofty pumice
#

sorry stupid question

thick minnow
#

over ethernet

#

all good

#

same thing happens on my phone

#

and on firefox, chrome, and edge

#

tried it with a vpn on

#

nothing

lofty pumice
#

so when you reset it you can connect but only for a minute?

thick minnow
#

yep

#

when it first boots up i can connect to it

#

but the second i refresh the page i loose access

grizzled cove
#

Are you still able to ping the address?

lofty pumice
#

is it still warranted?

thick minnow
#

and nope

#

ive had the router for like a year

#

or so

peak cloak
#

have you tried factory resetting it

#

holding the reset button for like 10 seconds

lofty pumice
#

Maybe if you could flash a new firmware in

#

I don't know if that's possible

thick minnow
#

id try to keep factory reseting at a last choice

#

since i have alot of people using the wifi

peak cloak
#

do it later, when no one is using it

thick minnow
#

when i got into the router setting it says most recent update

grizzled cove
thick minnow
#

and when i click check for updates it says i have the most recent version

grizzled cove
thick minnow
#

nothing for both

#

also ive tried it in incognito mode on chrome

#

ands till nothing

peak cloak
#

if you have zenmap /nmap check if port 80 is open on 192.168.1.1

thick minnow
#

how do i do that?

peak cloak
#

I would just wait until later and factory reset it

lofty pumice
thick minnow
#

yeah

#

because its starting to be a huge pain in my ass

peak cloak
#

@lofty pumice that won't work

lofty pumice
#

check here

peak cloak
#

that's from a public ip

hollow marlin
#

The port is not open, getting a TCP reset due to that

thick minnow
#

^

#

says it not open

#

nvm

#

says timed out

peak cloak
#

the website?

thick minnow
peak cloak
#

don't use that website

thick minnow
#

ok

peak cloak
#

that scans your router from the WAN interface

#

of course it won't be open

thick minnow
#

yeah now this is getting into territory Im not familiar with

grizzled cove
#

Or download putty and telnet

peak cloak
#

why tho?

grizzled cove
#

telnet 192.168.1.1 80

#

Because that will tell you if the port is open

misty terrace
#

you could try with something like fing on your phone and scan ports for that ip

peak cloak
#

yeah, you don't need putty for that, windows has it iirc

hollow marlin
#

telnet won't, ssh will

grizzled cove
#

Yes telnet will

peak cloak
#

only if a telnet server is on port 80

#

iirc

misty terrace
#

why would telnet be on port 80?

thick minnow
#

im so confused....

peak cloak
#

exactly

thick minnow
#

so what should i do?

#

portchecker or something?

misty terrace
#

i would use fing on a phone

#

you can use to scan the network, then scan the ip for open ports

thick minnow
#

alright downloading it now

hollow marlin
#

Guys the port is not open, its a waste of time. Just factory reset it

grizzled cove
#

I'm starting to doubt many of you have any networking experience. Using putty or installing the telnet client on Windows you can see if any port is open

peak cloak
#

Guys the port is not open, its a waste of time. Just factory reset it
^

thick minnow
#

Like i can get into the router settings

#

but only a minute after restarting it

#

anyway i can change it there

#

or just factory reset?

grizzled cove
#

Sounds like the firewall service starts and blocks the port

hollow marlin
#

I'm starting to doubt many of you have any networking experience. Using putty or installing the telnet client on Windows you can see if any port is open
@grizzled cove then you would know that an error_connection_reset is a response from the firewall

#

This is just confusing them for no apparent reason. The admin page is refusing the connection, could be from a bug, bad firmware, or vulnerability.

thick minnow
#

ok fing says that i have 4 open ports

#

80

#

631

#

8443

#

and 20005

grizzled cove
#

If it does this, you know the port is open

thick minnow
#

with telnet?

grizzled cove
#

If it hangs it is not open

#

Fing saying 80 is open I believe it

#

I still think it's handy to have the telnet service installed for basic troubleshooting in the future

thick minnow
#

ok

#

but now what?

#

is it the firewall?

grizzled cove
hollow marlin
thick minnow
#

^nothing

tame carbon
#

hollow marlin
#

K, reset it

What are the benefits of switching from IPv4 to IPv6?

tame carbon
#

hehe

peak cloak
#

no NAT, usually

tame carbon
#

on application layer, nothing.

#

but NAT is obsolete, dhcp is obsolete

hollow marlin
#

Well if fragmentation is needed its all handled by the application in v6. Outside that v6 all the things

grizzled cove
#

@thick minnow just factory reset it dude, we could throw all sorts of suggestions at you and get no where

thick minnow
#

yeah seems like ima just do that

#

cause this has been a pain in my ass for 2 days

#

alright thanks for the help

#

ill let you know how it goes.

small vapor
#

@hollow marlin I don't really understand.

hollow marlin
#

Response to Crystal, v4 can fragment if needed, v6 can't and the application must handle it. Nothing you need to worry about

small vapor
#

Ah ok.

tame carbon
#

v6 has no fragmentation? I mean makes sense with 128 bit addressing

#

more overhead

small vapor
#

How do I know if my router or device support v6?

peak cloak
#

most modern routers should

tame carbon

should
