@cold geode you'll want the hAP ac2
not the hAP lite, that one is limited by 100M
I actually have a hAP ac2 here
@cold geode which one did ya get?
@cold geode well, maybe
What network speed have you got?
@cold geode have you paid already?
because you should have gotten a hAP mini
Its 100M, yes
but
its also very cheap
like $20
Runs full version of RouterOS, has 3x 100M
and 2.4GHz wifi
@cold geode that tplink router looks overpriced
its listed here for $150
I wouldnt spend that kind of money on tplink hardware, knowing it will most likely die in 3-4 years
every single tplink wifi router I've owned, is dead
They dont even need to be that long
@cold geode why spend money on that
if you can invest into something that will last you longer
Mikrotik is magic, just saying :)
@cold geode where you from then?
Thats what, South America ?
There are many vendors
maybe see if you recognize any of them
lol and you want a shitty tplink router to handle full gigabit routing??
Paired with
the hEX S can act as router, and controller for one or more access points ^
hEX S is a very solid router for when wireless is not required
peak cloak
tame carbon
peak cloak
hex is gigabit
tame carbon
thats full Gigabit yeah
oh
nice
@peak cloak idk man
$10 difference
@cold geode its 0 bs marketing
and configuration is not that bad
tame carbon
@peak cloak yeah same routing speed
@cold geode some APs have seperate antennas
like the Metal 52ac series
for outdoor wireless, come with a big omni antenna
its like a long white tube
@cold geode you'll want to stay away from the lite variants
they all are limited to 100mbit/s on the interfaces
you mentioned, you needed 1G
well, you said your ISP does 1000 down, and 50 up
thats 1G
I have 250mbit internet, and my router can do 10G >_>
peak cloak
you think it's just there, it's like that everywhere
tame carbon
@cold geode question is, do you want to cheap out or not? :D
you need wifi ?
how large is the area you need to cover?
single room?
what about other devices
@cold geode you could get a hAP lite yeah
or
get two hAP minis xD
@cold geode even the cheapest APs they have, support CAPsMAN
remotely managed wireless APs
so if you have two hAP minis
one can control the other
so they both send out the same network
and your phone or laptop connects to the nearest one
@cold geode mesh would mean they connect to eachother
but with CAPsMAN you connect them with a cable
@cold geode like I have a router in the attic, that controlls the wifi in the house
I have a hAP ac2 in the living room, and an mAP in my bedroom
both controlled by the big RB4011 in the attic :D

my little network rack
underneath yeah
its a virtual machine host
but one of the VMs is a NAS
it has like 4x 4TB inside, and nvme to boot
private :)
but the server is connected to the router at 10G
so I have high speed access to it
thats what the yellow fibers are for
internet itself is only 250M
yeh
you have eyeballs ?
ISP fiber comes in over here
goes onto a media converter, 1G copper
that other fiber you see is local
goes to my switch, which is on other side of building
somewhat yeah, it has a plastic sleeve, the fiber itself is tiny, like 9 micrometer
thinner than a hair
yeah fibers have a minimum bend radius
if you exceed that, either the fiber attenuates a lot of light
or it breaks
tame carbon
well fibers don't slow down if they have poor signal
they just stop working entirely
since the signalling is just rapid on/off
if the receiving end can't tell the difference between on and off (signal to noise ratio), the link dies

Lots of words I don't know and lots more abbreviations I also don't know
tame carbon
1330nm is infrared
never stare down a fiber !
its invisible, but can still damage your retinas
its still a very focussed laser
even if not very powerful
42mA is enough to ruin your vision
lol once you get into fiber amplifiers
there's warning labels everywhere
You mean these ?
clear igloo
They exist but are expensive and bulky and are generally limited to 100Mb or gigabit support only
tame carbon
@clear igloo ?
clear igloo
It seems some 10G converters exist too but I'm sure they are $$$
tame carbon
two media converts, two fiber modules and a fiber
you can do that for 1G, less than 100 bucks
1G media converters cost, $20
tame carbon
SMF modules cost $8 each, so two of those
and then a length of fiber, which is like $10 for 50 meters
like $68 euros maybe
@clear igloo yeah but that seems like a waste of money
Its not even a kit
clear igloo
Definitely, I see very limited uses for them
clear igloo
haha, yup
tame carbon
some modules..
hold on
6 bucks
@clear igloo and get this
its same 10km that the $220 device offers
except we did it for $26
tame carbon
hehe
@clear igloo these kinds of products is probably why you don't see a lot of fiber in consumer setups
cus they google, and find these poor deals
clear igloo
Yah, or they are scared of fiber in general because it's "not common" to them
clear igloo
yah
clear igloo
Yah, for short distances especially
tame carbon
costs like $80
once you need long distance 40G
be prepared to dish out like 200+ per module
clear igloo
Definitely, and at 100G+ it goes up up up 😄
clear igloo
Just be glad you're not paying for traffic generators 😛
The box + license for 4 of the 8 400G ports was like $150k at least if I remember right. We'll probably license the other 4 ports sometime later this year as this lab grows.
clear igloo
lol, I'll blast all the bits 😄
I think last I checked we've got something like 5 or 6 Tbps of total traffic capability in the lab
tame carbon

@clear igloo you are putting these guys to shame: https://www.ams-ix.net/ams

Like at night it can go down to 200 mbps
About 100-150 feet across

About 30 down 6 up

That’s part of the problem
arctic hedge
you might want to give spectrum a call saying you have slow internet. they will probably swap out your router and modem for new ones if you dont already have the newest ones
outer lance
Wireless
peak cloak
yeah, you don't benchpark ISP speed using wifi
outer lance
It should be new, we just moved to spectrum about a year ago
I don’t have anything that has an Ethernet port
That I can move close to my router
peak cloak
If I was an ISP tech I would be so pissed about people complaining about wifi issues
arctic hedge
hey, i legitemently got screwed by spectrum messing up the cables over and over
peak cloak
an ISP just guarantees speeds to your router, not wifi
peak cloak
true, copper like cable and dsl can be messed up
outer lance
But I don’t think it allows them to just shut my connection on and off
peak cloak
Residential fiber is unnecessary
disagree
very nice
I wouldn't say it's good for the speed, but good for the reliability
nah, fiber isn't expensive
at least 1G fiber isn't
DOCISS modem = 100 bucks
fiber SFP module = like 10 bucks
arctic hedge
i get my modem through my isp so im chilling

what router do you suggest that is not super expensive?

I noticed up higher in the chat you mentioned you're on 5GHz instead of 2.4GHz - have you at least tried using 2.4GHz?
Asking because although 5GHz offers faster theoretical speeds and isn't susceptible to as much interference, 2.4GHz networks work better at longer distances, and better penetrates through walls/floors in your home.

it's a private reserved ip, so no need to keep it secret
ornate jungle
Could it be cause by one ring door bell
Interference can be caused by literally any other devices that share the same frequencies. Turn off power to the ring doorbell and re-test to find out.
If ethernet is not an option, and you can't move the modem/router, you're limited to:
-- powerline AV (assuming your home's electrical wiring works with such a solution)
-- installing another Access Point where you can run ethernet in your home (such as a Ubiquiti Networks AP)
-- replacing the existing WiFi broadcasting device you have now (replacing the modem/router combo unit you have, or bridging it and buying a 3rd party router)

Ive wanted to move to a non isp router

@peak cloak what numbers do you need out of the ping test

packet loss
peak cloak
although ping isn't the best indicator of packet loss, it's the easiest
peak cloak
nah
outer lance
Then what is next
peak cloak
I just want to compare what the TX power is
slow pivot
Why are we talking about interference with a 5GHz AP? At 100-150ft on different floors, it is highly likely it is a propagation issue inherent to the 5GHz Wifi band
outer lance
hmm?
peak cloak
I thought @outer lance was on 2.5ghz
outer lance
Im on 5 ghz
peak cloak
then get on 2.5
slow pivot
^
slow pivot
@outer lance You also said you are 100-150ft away on a different floor, right?
outer lance
Yeah
outer lance
2.5 has better penetration
But it is insanley slower
like so slow that i cant get a speed test to load in 5 minutes
slow pivot
So there might also be massive interference on the 2.4GHz bands as well. Or perhaps your Wifi router is on a channel that is crowded with other Wifi networks

Probably

Is there any big no-nos with using a Synology NAS (DS411J) as LDAP Server, and then connect the NAS to that LDAP Server? I'd been thinking about running openLDAP on my rpi, but I susspect my rpi might be broken, it seems to boot but doesnt get any picture whatsoever :/

I don’t recommend running LDAP/AD without having at least 3 servers hosting it. The last thing you need is to hose yourself when your authentication servers go down.. with that said, have you tried rebuilding your RPi?

If I moved 3km away I could get 1000/500 FTTH
But that aint happening unfortunately
tame carbon
I got the opportunity to get FttH
glad I did
only downside is I have a monthly fee for fiber upkeep
seperate from the internet plan
totals out at around 127euros/month
obsidian token
Cable monopole sucks
tame carbon
Its not a monopoly
The company that provides the fiber is not the same as the internet service provider
obsidian token
totals out at around 127euros/month
Dang thats way too much
tame carbon
@obsidian token yeah, on a symetric line with 6 hour SLA as well as extra IP ranges
obsidian token
Its not a monopoly
In my case
tame carbon
@obsidian token just data, is 72/month for 250/250
ontop of that, comes the fiber fee, TV plan and additional /29 subnet
that /29 is nice, because I don't need NAT
obsidian token
No clue what that is
tame carbon
I have more than 1 public IP
obsidian token
But i wouldnt pay more than 50/month for internet
tame carbon
See this ^
its a public IP, but it has 0.5ms ping
I have like 8 public addresses on my router
obsidian token
Do you host stuff or whats it good for
tame carbon
Yeah
@obsidian token two addresses are for subtenants in the building behind the house
office spaces
and the rest I use for my private server at home
to host some services and multiplayer games
obsidian token
Ok
tame carbon
@obsidian token major benefit of having more than one IP is that you don't need port forwarding :D
you can just assign a public IP to a device, and not care about the forwarding
obsidian token
Doesnt ipv6 do the same
tame carbon
I have a /48 configured as well (for ipv6)
IPv6 renders NAT obsolete
only reason we need NAT in the first place, is because ipv4 doesnt have enough addresses for every connected device
obsidian token
So for example if i host a minecraft server, do I just give my friends my ipv6 address?
tame carbon
does minecraft even do ipv6??
obsidian token
Oh apparently not
tame carbon
@obsidian token there's probably a way
but I have not seen a v6 address for minecraft, ever
obsidian token
I dont need it anyways, my friend has a dedicated pc where he hosts all kinds of games
My upload is too bad for hosting aswell
tame carbon
well, if your friend doesn't have a v4 address, you kinda have to use v6
or set up a tunnel
my ISP doesnt have v6 either, I use tunnelbroker for v6
obsidian token
Hes got some kind of thingy going on, i just type a domain and join the server that way
tame carbon
hostname yeah
thats normal
crystal@watomat ~ nslookup
> play.knockturnmc.com
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53
Non-authoritative answer:
play.knockturnmc.com canonical name = main.knockturnmc.com.

same for my mc server
tardy elbow
I'm looking at setting up a proxy/DDoS protection service.
Is it possible to have NGINX TCP reverse proxies to proxy to a host depending on hostname? If this is possible I have another two questions.
Is it possible to have a NGINX TCP load balancer forward a connection to the above proxy with included hostname for the proxy to proxy the connection to the correct server?
tame carbon
@tardy elbow sure
@tardy elbow you can set up a server { } block, with a specific hostname
Though I only have done this with HTTP, using the HTTP/1.1 Host: header
unsure about TCP
nocturne harness
tardy elbow
Yeah I've also looked at HAProxy aswell
I'm trying to make something similar to TCPshield
just for one location and on a much smaller scale
peak cloak
maybe you could protect against SYN flood
but generally for large DDOS attacks you can't really protect against it locally @tardy elbow
tardy elbow
It's not locally, I'm going to be putting these on DDoS protected VPS's/dedis
peak cloak
ah ok
tardy elbow
But yeah, I'm looking forward to getting this started
It's mostly going to be for home-hosters etc

hey guys, i think im driving mad over here. i have no wifi in my room so im trying to use a tplink tl-wa850re extender, which is capable of 300mbps, to transmit a wifi signal via ethernet to my phone. im using a cat4 cable, but its showing me like..10mbps??? my ISP provides me with 350mbps............ please help!!
clear igloo
It's only got a 10/100Mbps port, it will NEVER provide over 100Mbps. If the cable is crap quality or the port is damaged on either side then it can possibly drop down from 100Mbps on the ethernet port to 10Mbps due to issues with the cable or port on either end. Your ISP doesn't doesn't determine your internal network speeds, they provide you up to X to their box and that's it
peak cloak
cat4??? that's like only 100Base-T
also if you are using an extender in a room which doesn't have good wifi then don't expect better wifi with the extender
clear igloo
Yah, I hope they meant Cat5 but if it's really Cat4 (which is an old and odd standard anyway) then it's going to be worse
peak cloak
if you use extenders you also want to put it where there is still descent wifi, not where there is like no coverage, an extender can't "create" wifi out of nothing
@vale marsh
clear igloo
Yah, I think I read that wrong. I assumed they were saying "I'm getting 10Mbps but I should get X because of my ISP" instead of "I'm only getting 10Mbps but could get up to X" but if the repeater is in a spot with minimal signal then it can't do any magic to make it better, it will still repeat and transmit on a weak and degraded signal making speed much lower
vale marsh
am i banned??? i cant post//
uncut pendant
vale marsh
im using a router as an access point, through a cat 6 cable.... but still getting like 10mbps??
clear igloo
Yah, and when you say cable is it connected to a device and the router/repeater acting as a bridge or is the ap/repeater connected to the main router via a cable
vale marsh
in addition to the speed, its bugging out...like its saying theres no internet, dont know what the problem is. its also not showing a default gateway
im using different things, at present im using a router
the router is connected to the ethernet box (dont know what its called). through a cat6, and that is an access point.
peak cloak
make a diagram of what you are doing right now
easiest for all people involved to understand
because I'm still kinda confused

cat 4 is garbo especially longer distances
vale marsh
ETHERNET BOX ------------> CONNECTED TO ROUTER VIA CAT 6 ---------> ATTEMPTING TO CONNECT TO PHONE ---------> SHOWING NO CONNECTION (INTERMITTENT)
BUT WHEN CONNECTION SHOWS --------------> AROUND 30MBPS
clear igloo
cat 4 is garbo especially longer distances
Cat4 hasn't been a thing since the mid 90s as it was quickly replaced by cat5 and used basically in voice networks only
clear igloo
what's ETHERNET BOX? that's the modem?
Yah, I'm assuming they mean the ISP's box coming into the home?
vale marsh
i think the router is interfering with my main router, im dropping out on my main ethernet now....
clear igloo
Make and model of the repeater/AP/router you're using? Aside the TP-Link one you mentioned earlier
clear igloo
That's my suspicion too
peak cloak
that's an AP that you want
vale marsh
Been stressing me for the last year...from wireless boosters, to power lines, now trying to use the old router...I'm ruined
Photos are coming
vale marsh
How do I check?
peak cloak
what I would do is unscrew the outlet and look at the cable
if not possible you could run a speedtest over the cable as long as you have 2 ethernet connectable devices
using iperf
west vortex
Photos not working.
primal ice
open the links. for what ever reason discord isn't showing them.
west vortex
Yeah that’s not working for me either on my phone. Oh well.
So the basic gist i’m getting is poor wifi in a specific room. Ran ethernet to the room to connect to an extender which is connected back to the original router. Getting poor throughput.
Is that correct?
Why not just replace the router with something higher quality?
peak cloak
it's not that, I'm really confused on why the speeds are so low on the AP
west vortex
AP could be faulty? Misconfigured?
I avoid cheap APs like the plague. I’m going powerline adapter and a second Alien for ethernet mesh
peak cloak
eh, unifi is eh
I avoid it
unifi that is
makes simple things really hard
well ethernet mesh would technically be something that can failover from a broken link
what you are talking about it just two APs
west vortex
Really? I found the Alien great in it’s setup and config. Absolutely no issues for me.
peak cloak
not for anything advanced
does it even have firewall rules?
also the price
unifi for example makes networks so confusing
I wouldn't
it's only 10/100
vale marsh
Ugh. I don't know but for some reason, when I'm connected to the main router's WiFi, i still am getting rubbish speeds, but haven't tried hard wire from the main router to my laptop. I think there's something up with it, normally on WiFi I used to get 370+. I will have a word with my ISP and see what happens
peak cloak

100 max per port

try ethernet first, then you can check if it's on the ISP end or just wifi
I guess it would work, but still I would get a gigabit one if you could
vale marsh
@peak cloak yeah yeah, good point. I'll have a look at some point tomorrow, 12am right now. Thanks for the advice, even though I missed it out, should have a final look before contacting the ISP
west vortex
does it even have firewall rules?
By firewall rules you mean port forwarding and such?
peak cloak
By firewall rules you mean port forwarding and such?
no like inter-vlan and inter-interface firewall rules
like from eth4.20 to eth4.10
west vortex
It has vLAN options. But i’m not sure about all that to be honest. This is a general consumer device with a touch of enthusiast built in. Nothing crazy.
It’s meant to be more of a higher end “it just works” type of network device. And for the most part, it’s held up to that.
west vortex
Yeah but all Wifi 6 capable routers are overpriced right now
peak cloak
can just get one HEX and get some APs
wifi6 iirc isn't that big of an improvement
just better in congested areas
because of better timing
west vortex
I mean, it was for me. I can get 5Ghz 2x farther away that I could before now. And I have new devices that make use of Wifi6 which helps.
peak cloak
wifi 6 just isn't worth it for me
if I have bad range I just get another AP
that's it
wifi 5 works just fine
aka ac
west vortex
I am using ethernet over powerline for backbone mesh so I can push a strong Wifi signal into my yard. I wont get nearly as fast speeds where I want to put the mesh point using the wireless mesh
little schooner
wifi 6 was so worth it for me
everything is so much more stable
wifi 6 made me ditch the cable completely
west vortex
Yeah wifi was a nice upgrade for me as well
west vortex
powerline kinda sucks
yeah, i’ve heard mixed reviews. I want to at least try it. Else I may be trying MOCA

Games don’t typically use URLs to connect to their services, so maybe the issue is your DNS resolution?
Try flushing your DNS and see what happens

Games don't use URLs? so you need DNS?
Some but not all games typically use their services IP addresses directly. DNS stands for Domain Name System. Which means it takes google.com and makes it to a string of numbers (the IP address) that tell the computer where to find google's servers. If your DNS system is broken, then it would make sense that you can't browse the web but can still game.
ruby bramble
in terms of internet, germany is even below romania
I was gonna move to Germany you have now crushed my dreams lol
drowsy sand
lmao
the internet in germany is like a patchwork quilt
on one hand the internet is great at 50mbit and up
usually around 100-500mbit in cities
sometimes even moar
but once you leave the city, you are either lucky or completely screwed
not long ago I was crippling around at 700kb/s download speed

Even ARS can't properly report on this
why the fuck would you be hyped for the next 'gamer' router
look at it ^ wtf is that.
twin zealot
how much?
tame carbon
"World's first Wi-Fi 6E gaming router," but it finally got a release window: January 2021. Newegg currently has it for preorder for a cool $549.99
$549
O.o
jaunty talon
well that isnt so bad?
twin zealot
thats about 548 to much
tame carbon
@jaunty talon its total garbage, considering a single AP costs 1/5th
twin zealot
well that isnt so bad?
wifi 6e isnt really usefull
twin zealot
wifi 6e isnt really usefull
yet
jaunty talon
but that isnt a reason for it being bad? :D
twin zealot
no it isnt bad its too expensive
jaunty talon
it's like.. should I not build a WIFI6 network if I build wifi?
tame carbon
@jaunty talon price, the stupid choice in hardware (too many antennas) and get this
ASUS SUCKS at writing software
have you ever seen their router config page??
twin zealot
and why do you want rgb on your bloody router
tame carbon
yes.
jaunty talon
if yes. i doubt you can really build a pfsense that does it for much cheaper
with new hardware
twin zealot
mayby even better
tame carbon
@jaunty talon that router is so far out of the ball park
jaunty talon
nat 2.5G?
tame carbon
oh
jaunty talon
not sure i follow? :D
jaunty talon
why is a sfp+ port wrong?
I would actually say its nice to have that in a router like that
tame carbon
@jaunty talon the point is, they use 2.5G RJ45
jaunty talon
Sure
tame carbon
I get that its the new and improved networking standard for home
but a router that costs $540
better have some fuckin' SFP+
tame carbon
@jaunty talon RB4011 still beats that
jaunty talon
doesnt mean everyone else should
tame carbon
@jaunty talon wow. I would not buy that SG3100.
twin zealot
tame carbon
you see that vpn speed??
twin zealot
tame carbon
450 mbit/s what is that.
twin zealot
and that all for under that price
jaunty talon
under 500usd?
jaunty talon
sounds strange that all those three would be under 500usd in total
jaunty talon
@tame carbon sure, but as I said. Just because there is one vendor that has a product that is super cheap doesn't mean that everyone else should have it too
different markets etc
tame carbon
@jaunty talon yeah but it just once again confirms that ASUS is just a total ripoff
omg
It gets better
these guys manage to slap another $50 ontop
with roughly same hardware
except it looks like Batman's spaceship
twin zealot
at tweakers.net they dont even talk about the rog one

@twin zealot yeah because tweakers.net still has somewhat of a reputation
