#

type one of them

hollow marlin Feb 22, 2021, 8:39 AM

#

Im not guessing. But 10.10 is typically standard /24s. Don't say /8

sullen elm Feb 22, 2021, 8:40 AM

#

10.20

#

I made a misatake

hollow marlin Feb 22, 2021, 8:41 AM

#

same answer

sullen elm Feb 22, 2021, 8:41 AM

#

right

#

so 255.255.255.252

#

is the right subnet for 10.10.0.2

hollow marlin Feb 22, 2021, 8:47 AM

#

well the subnet would be 10.10.0.0/30. 255.255.255.252 is the mask

sullen elm Feb 22, 2021, 8:47 AM

#

exactly

#

I made it short

#

if you were to assign a device the ip 10.20.0.2 you should put 255.255.255.252 as a mask

#

the same applies for changing the ip pool on a DHCP server

hollow marlin Feb 22, 2021, 8:52 AM

#

/30s are for P2P interfaces. You can assign which ever subnets you like

sullen elm Feb 22, 2021, 8:52 AM

#

for a local netwrok

#

on the DHCP config page. In order to change the IP pool from something else to 10.20.0.X you will have to put 255.255.255.252 as the mask

hollow marlin Feb 22, 2021, 8:54 AM

#

Im not sure what vendor that is but that is most definitely not standard

rare matrix Feb 22, 2021, 9:09 AM

#

the entire 10 network is freely assignable for anyone since it's a non routable network, there is absolutely no way to tell what subnetting was used to construct this network, the only exception is that if you're using a consumer device the mask will almost definitely be a /24

#

Is it possible to reuse a mikrotik router as a plain switch?

thick minnow Feb 22, 2021, 10:32 AM

#

yeah

uneven moon Feb 22, 2021, 10:32 AM

#

Do I have to do any configuration or do I just factory reset it and plug things into it?

thick minnow Feb 22, 2021, 10:33 AM

#

I dont know how but @tame carbon does it

#

ask him i guess

uneven moon Feb 22, 2021, 10:34 AM

#

Okay, thank you

thick minnow Feb 22, 2021, 10:37 AM

#

does anyone know if apple is planning on making networking devices again

#

really liked the airport and time capsules

tame carbon Feb 22, 2021, 10:54 AM

#

wat

#

@thick minnow you just assumed I was online?

#

I just got out of bed and am still drinking coffee trying to wake up

#

@uneven moon just set up all your ports on the same bridge

#

if you do not configure any firewall rules

#

it will switch be switching packets

uneven moon Feb 22, 2021, 10:55 AM

#

I'll try that, thank you

thick minnow Feb 22, 2021, 10:55 AM

#

tame carbon <@456226577798135808> you just assumed I was online?

nononono

#

thought you'd read it later

tame carbon Feb 22, 2021, 10:56 AM

#

@uneven moon Bridge -> Ports

#

make sure you disable dhcp if you already have one on your network

#

@uneven moon another way, maybe even easier

#

reset the device to factory settings

#

and during setup, use QuickSet to setup a bridge configuration

#

that should configure it as a switch

#

uneven moon Feb 22, 2021, 11:02 AM

#

I have many mode choices, for bridge there's PTP Bridge AP and PTP Bridge CPE, which one should I pick?

#

tame carbon Feb 22, 2021, 11:03 AM

#

uhhhhhh

#

@uneven moon home AP, then see what that has in terms of config

uneven moon Feb 22, 2021, 11:04 AM

#

tame carbon Feb 22, 2021, 11:05 AM

#

hm

#

interesting

#

I don't use quickset that often (only for initial configs)

thick minnow Feb 22, 2021, 11:57 AM

#

What the defense between the LAN and WAN

ruby bramble Feb 22, 2021, 12:02 PM

#

For noobs wan is where you connect an cable from your fibre to copper converter and lan is where you plug in device like a pc or laptop

#

Yup

thick minnow Feb 22, 2021, 12:08 PM

#

So if I’m using this as a modem I need to contact my router to wan?

#

Ok th u

#

But if it’s modem so nothing will connect there right?

#

Look I bought mikrotik router and i bought this device to make at as britch

#

So it a modem for me I should only contact the blue one to mikro and the rest live right?

#

No

rare matrix Feb 22, 2021, 12:16 PM

#

thick minnow What the defense between the LAN and WAN

we need to see more of the setup to guide you

#

what is your internet uplink, what other infrastructure devices do you have

#

then we can tell you what to do

ruby bramble Feb 22, 2021, 12:24 PM

#

I did it wooo I now have 500up and 500down for like $25

tame carbon Feb 22, 2021, 12:27 PM

#

@thick minnow for consumer routers, those colorings on the port merely refer to the firewall configuration

#

though some routers allow for changing this

ruby bramble Feb 22, 2021, 12:28 PM

#

Quick question does pi hole work at 500mb speeds

tame carbon Feb 22, 2021, 12:28 PM

#

@ruby bramble whut, its DNS.. ?

#

doesnt need a lot of bandwidth

thick minnow Feb 22, 2021, 12:36 PM

#

Ok when I will get the route could u help me?

tame carbon Feb 22, 2021, 12:36 PM

#

@thick minnow what'd you buy?

thick minnow Feb 22, 2021, 12:36 PM

#

Hac ac2

tame carbon Feb 22, 2021, 12:36 PM

#

neat

#

@thick minnow what kind of gear does your ISP provide?

thick minnow Feb 22, 2021, 12:37 PM

#

D link

tame carbon Feb 22, 2021, 12:37 PM

#

@thick minnow yeah but do you have a standalone modem?

#

or a one-in-all box from your ISP?

#

this will be important when we go to configuring the router

#

From what I understand its a modem and router but I will config it to a bridge

tame carbon Feb 22, 2021, 12:39 PM

#

perfect

#

All that matters is that the ISP's device forwards all traffic of your public IP

#

so you can plug your own gear in :D

peak cloak Feb 22, 2021, 12:41 PM

#

?

#

From what I seen the ISP one is a modem/router

#

the hap ac2 is just a wireless router

tame carbon Feb 22, 2021, 1:01 PM

#

ISPs that don't provide a router are the best ISPs

#

because it means they provide just a modem, and 0 bs

peak cloak Feb 22, 2021, 1:10 PM

#

Yeah, but some don't even give you that option unless you call

#

optimum now has fiber, huh..

#

instead of coax we used to have

#

coax is higher latency and copper which is annoying

#

anyway, now both ISPs here have Fiber

#

I just want ipv6 support...

#

neither have it

#

wdym?

#

oh yeah

#

most costumers don't care if it's NATed or not

#

also this is stupid, there is no option to not use their stupid gateway unless you probobly call

#

smart wifi

#

because there won't be

#

I'm actually curious what optimum uses

#

because fios uses GPON

#

there is no way you can use your own fiber ONT

#

I bet optimum also does GPON

#

although I could be wrong

#

yep it's GPON

#

and it seems they hookup the fiber to a stupid atlice box

#

which can't be bypassed

#

#

#

fios they either put this outside your house

#

or they give you as desktop one

#

and you just plug it into your router, no bs

#

yep the green cable is the fiber going in

#

#

connects to this

#

which is a splice box to the black fiber going in

That's what I have in that image yeah

#

the left most fiber is from the ISP

#

the one spooled up in the middle is locally here 10G

#

internet service itself is just DHCP on a VLAN

peak cloak Feb 22, 2021, 1:36 PM

it's 40 bucks for 100 meters at FS.com

tame carbon Feb 22, 2021, 1:38 PM

40 bucks?

#

oh ye

#

the fiber isnt the expensive part

#

its the transceivers

peak cloak Feb 22, 2021, 1:40 PM

oh yeah cat6a is like 118 bucks

#

yep

FS

LC-LC Single Mode Fiber Patch Cable Duplex 1m

FS offers 1m LC-LC duplex OS2 single mode fiber patch cable for 1G/10G/40G/100G/400G fiber cablings that can transport data up to 10km at 1310nm and 40km at 1550nm.

#

you can enter a custom length

tame carbon Feb 22, 2021, 1:44 PM

#

@long arrow self terminating of fibers is not feasible as a consumer

#

so you only buy pre-fabbed patch fibers

peak cloak Feb 22, 2021, 1:44 PM

#

I mean, you can

tame carbon Feb 22, 2021, 1:44 PM

#

You need the equipment & training

peak cloak Feb 22, 2021, 1:44 PM

#

just not worth it

this just uses glue

#

it's a termination kit, not a splice kit

I could get that, but eh

#

gig tbh isn't worth it

tame carbon Feb 22, 2021, 1:54 PM

#

I have a 250M fiber uplink

#

the other fiber internally is just for a highspeed NAS

#

and providing a 1 cable backbone

#

so I can use vlans instead of running 10 cables

Is going from 300/20 to 1000/35 worth the extra 20$ a month?

@waxen scroll sorry, I know that speed is embarrassing everyone. Best internet of all time

#

And @thick minnow what do you use your internet for?

My mom streams on wifi and I use my series x on ethernet gaming and streaming .

chrome flower Feb 22, 2021, 4:57 PM

Do you have speed issues as it is? And what router are you using?

peak cloak Feb 22, 2021, 4:57 PM

#

tbh you don't really need gigiabit

thick minnow Feb 22, 2021, 4:57 PM

#

The comcast factory one and sometimes she has connection issues with sling

peak cloak Feb 22, 2021, 4:57 PM

#

yeah that's a router issue

#

not really a speed issue

chrome flower Feb 22, 2021, 4:57 PM

#

I'd first try upgrading your router

#

And convince your to get a TV service that uses IGMP multicasting. Sling can have congestion issues

thick minnow Feb 22, 2021, 4:59 PM

#

And the cost of buying a new router and modem would be way too expensive. I only pay 14$ a month and most modems I see are over a hundred and the routers are over 150$ so it would take about 14months to payoff. Which they would likely declare it eol.by then.

peak cloak Feb 22, 2021, 5:00 PM

#

router and modem EOL?

chrome flower Feb 22, 2021, 5:00 PM

What routers you looking?

you can get a good router for around 100

What kind of internet you have? Broadband or fiber?

#

I'm assuming broadband

peak cloak Feb 22, 2021, 5:00 PM

#

#

I think

assuming from the speeds

thick minnow Feb 22, 2021, 5:01 PM

Netgear nighthawk.and the modem is the other part. Comcast is who I have.

chrome flower Feb 22, 2021, 5:01 PM

That's what I thought

#

If your willing to learn you can get some nice retired data center gear, I use to run a cisco 3800. Got it for 80bucks

thick minnow Feb 22, 2021, 5:02 PM

#

I don't need more hardware. I just like plug and go

#

Ya girls room has too many wires running around as it stands.

#

But for 20$ is it a noticeable difference in speeds I'll find with downloads and streaming quality?

chrome flower Feb 22, 2021, 5:04 PM

#

I think router is more of a bottleneck

thick minnow Feb 22, 2021, 5:04 PM

#

The router is rated for gigabit

chrome flower Feb 22, 2021, 5:04 PM

#

You could get a edgerouter x

#

It means the interface on the router is rated for gigabit

#

But that dosent mean it will do that throughout

#

*throughput

peak cloak Feb 22, 2021, 5:06 PM

#

chrome flower You could get a edgerouter x

edgerouter I wouldn't reccomend for plug and go

#

in default config it can't do gigabit

#

you need to enable HWNAT

tame carbon Feb 22, 2021, 5:14 PM

#

my mikrotik just has igmp as a package

#

snooping is available by default, but the proxy you can install

#

@thick minnow mikrotik is also nice and cheap

#

and has lots and lots of options

#

though slightly less intuitive

#

the default configuration that ships on them, is what most people would have for a home wifi router

thick minnow Feb 22, 2021, 5:17 PM

#

Yeah I have no idea what any of that means.

#

I just wanted. To know if I should or shouldn't triple my internet speed for 20$

@tame carbon I was told my neighbor isn't profitable for them to run fiber

thick minnow Feb 22, 2021, 5:22 PM

that's normal in the US as well

#

although in my area now both ISPs, verizon and optimum have fivber

little schooner Feb 23, 2021, 1:27 AM

#

@eager veldt the service account for AD connect Sync on-prem needs to have certain permissions at the domain level to handle password write back. I found a document that described the process here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/authentication/tutorial-enable-sspr-writeback

Enable Azure Active Directory password writeback

In this tutorial, you learn how to enable Azure AD self-service password reset writeback using Azure AD Connect to synchronize changes back to an on-premises Active Directory Domain Services environment.

#

Make sure you added your custom domains in Azure ad

#

But I never got passed this part bc money

eager veldt Feb 23, 2021, 1:31 AM

#

Pretty sure the password policy thing I haven't done yet. The option to turn on password writeback is greyed out probably because of that.

Halp, I'm almost done setting up a Pi Hole on my server and I'm stuck on this last part. I can't figure out how to set the DNS Server on my router. It's a netgear Nighthaw C7800.

#

Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

peak cloak Feb 23, 2021, 2:08 AM

#

thick minnow Halp, I'm almost done setting up a Pi Hole on my server and I'm stuck on this la...

ok there are 2 ways of doing this:

#

The router is the primary DNS server and it forwards requests to the pihole

#

The pihole is the DNS server bypassing the router completly

thick minnow Feb 23, 2021, 2:08 AM

#

I want the first option I believe

peak cloak Feb 23, 2021, 2:09 AM

#

For the 1st option you need to find something along the lines of DNS Forwarding

waxen saddle Feb 23, 2021, 2:09 AM

#

pihole is the primary dns and forwards to the router

peak cloak Feb 23, 2021, 2:09 AM

#

true

thick minnow Feb 23, 2021, 2:09 AM

#

Aight one sec...

#

I see these things in the tab "Internet Setup" under advanced options. I checked the "Use these DNS Servers" along with entering in the IP address(s) of the pi hole

peak cloak Feb 23, 2021, 2:11 AM

#

It may be pushing out requests out of WAN only

peak cloak Feb 23, 2021, 2:12 AM

#

waxen saddle 3) pihole is the primary dns and forwards to the router

tbh this is the best way

#

that's what I did

thick minnow Feb 23, 2021, 2:12 AM

#

Hmm, okay...

waxen saddle Feb 23, 2021, 2:12 AM

#

Same. No weird loop backs

peak cloak Feb 23, 2021, 2:12 AM

#

peak cloak tbh this is the best way

so for this, you need to find DHCP server settings and change the DNS option there

thick minnow Feb 23, 2021, 2:13 AM

#

How do I make that happen? I've got the R-Pi plugged in via ethernet to the router.

#

I'll look one sec...

peak cloak Feb 23, 2021, 2:14 AM

#

in my router it looks like this shared-network-name LAN2 { authoritative enable subnet 10.0.10.0/24 { default-router 10.0.10.1 dns-server 10.0.10.1 lease 86400 start 10.0.10.38 { stop 10.0.10.243 } } }

waxen saddle Feb 23, 2021, 2:14 AM

#

That’s perfect. Basically, the dns chain is: your computer > pihole > router > ISP or other external DNS. Just need to configure things as PresentMonkey guides you

peak cloak Feb 23, 2021, 2:15 AM

#

I'm not using pihole right now

#

So i just point DNS to my router

#

Basically what this does it tell the client devices what DNS server to use

#

But it's not authoritarian

#

So some apps or smart devices may choose to completely ignore it

thick minnow Feb 23, 2021, 2:16 AM

#

I see this. Is this what I'm looking for?

peak cloak Feb 23, 2021, 2:16 AM

#

huh

thick minnow Feb 23, 2021, 2:16 AM

#

I'll be completely honest, I don't know much about networking. I don't know what DHCP is or any of these acronyms

peak cloak Feb 23, 2021, 2:17 AM

#

DHCP is what is used to automatically give IP addresses to clients

waxen saddle Feb 23, 2021, 2:17 AM

#

Is there an advanced area or advanced lan configuration? Advanced dhcp config?

#

DHCP is also what tells your devices what DNS server they can use.

peak cloak Feb 23, 2021, 2:18 AM

#

yep

#

in ipv6 it's a bit more complicated... but that's not the point right now

thick minnow Feb 23, 2021, 2:21 AM

#

The only place I even see DHCP mentioned is "Use Router as DHCP Server"

peak cloak Feb 23, 2021, 2:22 AM

#

it is possible that your router doesn't allow configuring it

thick minnow Feb 23, 2021, 2:22 AM

#

Ah, nuts.

peak cloak Feb 23, 2021, 2:23 AM

#

gtg, I may be back

Which is nuts. What router manufacturer and model do you have? I’d be impressed if it really does t have it

thick minnow Feb 23, 2021, 2:23 AM

#

Its a freaking NETGEAR! Like, one of the biggest brands in, the world maybe?

#

headdesk

lean pebble Feb 23, 2021, 2:24 AM

#

What model

waxen saddle Feb 23, 2021, 2:24 AM

#

Lol. What is the model number?

thick minnow Feb 23, 2021, 2:24 AM

#

Nighthawk C7800

#

Its a newer one too, I just got this like, a few months ago

waxen saddle Feb 23, 2021, 2:29 AM

#

Impressive. It actually has no way to configure DNS settings for DHCP.

thick minnow Feb 23, 2021, 2:29 AM

#

LOL! Wow... Manufacturers think we're dumb or something

waxen saddle Feb 23, 2021, 2:31 AM

#

You have 2 options:

Configre every device manually to use the pihole.
Disable DHCP on your router and enable DHCP on the pihole. (Point the pihole gateway to your routers LAN IP. Set the upstream DNS to the same IP as your routers LAN IP.)

thick minnow Feb 23, 2021, 2:31 AM

#

Does the second option bottleneck me in anyway?

#

Maybe I'll just use the first option. Safer I suppose.

waxen saddle Feb 23, 2021, 2:32 AM

#

No bottlenecks at all.

thick minnow Feb 23, 2021, 2:32 AM

#

Ahhh I'm not sure. Haha. I'll just try the second one then. I think I can figure out how to do that.

waxen saddle Feb 23, 2021, 2:33 AM

#

Sweet. If you are nervous, you can always try the first option before committing to the 2nd

#

Just know that with the 2nd option, if the pihole goes down, you’ll need to manually set your IP on your computer and connect to the router to re-enable DHCP.

#

I encourage you to test and grow your familiarity with all this. Have fun! Enjoy less ads and tracking!

thick minnow Feb 23, 2021, 2:35 AM

#

God I can't stand ads... lol

#

Yeah its has been a fun little evening project. I enjoy clicking things and being like, "Oooo whats this gonna do?"

Thanks for the help, but I ended up going with Nord for $3.15/mo. I'm not opposed to self-hosting, but I've tried it in the past and it feels like my traffic has been flagged more than using a more "traditional" VPN. I also like that multiple users use a VPN IP address to help further anonymize the traffic. Also, for Vultr in particular, the company is US based and for privacy reasons I don't prefer that

Yeah, but you can leave the interface unconfigured

#

And then just assign vlans and use those

#

I couldn't get dhcp to work over that fiber for some reason

#

So I used vlans, which did work

#

glossy sorrel I've got a question about getting a specific subnet mask form an ip. Anyone who ...

yeah, just ask

glossy sorrel Feb 24, 2021, 1:12 PM

#

The host's IP address is 10.133.133.133, and that the host portion of the IP address is 12 bits.
How can I calculate the subnet mask?

peak cloak Feb 24, 2021, 1:12 PM

#

you don't calculate a subnet mask from an IP

#

that's not how it works

#

a subnet mask compliments an IP

#

the more modern version is to use CIDR's not subnet masks

#

so for example 255.255.255.0 would be /24

#

so you would write out lets say an IP 192.168.1.1 that has the subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 as 192.168.1.1/24

glossy sorrel Feb 24, 2021, 1:14 PM

#

It's a task I got, and I need to give the subnet mask for that

#

mind if I pm you?

tame carbon Feb 24, 2021, 1:20 PM

#

@glossy sorrel /20 ?

#

#

CIDR notation is more common

#

255.255.240.0 is the mask for a /20 subnet

muted gate Feb 24, 2021, 1:25 PM

#

Anyone know what to put in for the internal host when port forwarding?

tame carbon Feb 24, 2021, 1:26 PM

#

@muted gate that's the local IP of your computer, that you are port forwarding to

#

you are translating public IP + port --> local ip + port

muted gate Feb 24, 2021, 1:29 PM

#

@tame carbon Thank you!

tame carbon Feb 24, 2021, 1:30 PM

#

@muted gate it might be useful to make sure the computer gets a static address

#

otherwise, when it reconnects to your network, and obtains a new address, your port forward rule will be invalid

#

using a static DHCP lease, (sometimes called MAC binding), will make sure the computer always gets the same IP

muted gate Feb 24, 2021, 1:31 PM

#

Would I do that through this screen?

tame carbon Feb 24, 2021, 1:31 PM

#

@muted gate if you are using DHCP on your network, you should do this in your router

#

you can just reserve an IP address for a specific MAC

muted gate Feb 24, 2021, 1:31 PM

#

Ahhh, gotcha.

tame carbon Feb 24, 2021, 1:32 PM

#

@muted gate if you did it manually in windows, chances are that the router gives out that address to another device, thinking its available

#

and two devices with same IP on same network = issues.

#

either use a static DHCP lease (address reservation).
Or. use a portion of address space that is outside of DHCP

#

like, on my network the first 50 addresses are not given out by DHCP

#

allowing me to statically assign those

#

oh nevermind I didn't notice wireguard was outside of docker

what you want is a vlan

pale latch Feb 24, 2021, 5:58 PM

ye that's the trouble for me

peak cloak Feb 24, 2021, 5:59 PM

basically have the wireguard vpn be on the same subnet/vlan that the containers are on

pale latch Feb 24, 2021, 6:01 PM

#

i think it is in the same subnet

#

also maybe it will be easier: can a docker container have multiple macvlan networks "connected"?

peak cloak Feb 24, 2021, 6:15 PM

#

pale latch i think it is in the same subnet

if it's on the same subnet what's the problem exactly?

you should be able to connect to the services the containers are running

tame carbon <@!273872466936463362> I used vlans, and then macvtap on those vlans

can you link me any docs? i can't find any info about macvtap or how to configure it

tame carbon Feb 24, 2021, 6:55 PM

#

@pale latch I actually use qemu/kvm

pale latch Feb 24, 2021, 6:55 PM

#

oh

tame carbon Feb 24, 2021, 6:56 PM

#

so its just an option in the virtual nic

#

but most hypervisors would support this

#

vlan is a virtual network interface on the host

#

and then you pass this to the guest with macvtap

#

or do a direct vlan passthrough

#

@pale latch are you using linux then?

pale latch Feb 24, 2021, 6:57 PM

#

yes i'm using linux

tame carbon Feb 24, 2021, 6:57 PM

#

I can show you the interfaces config for vlans

#

crystal@servomat:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces

tame carbon Feb 24, 2021, 7:01 PM

@pale latch macvtap basically modifies the mac address of the origin of the packet

#

you can use multiple virtual machines on the same vlan with different mac addresses

#

but the problem is that you can't have guest-host communication

pale latch Feb 24, 2021, 7:02 PM

#

from what i can find macvtap is based on macvlan so i would have to switch docker networking to macvtap and i don't think that it is possible

pale latch Feb 24, 2021, 7:02 PM

#

tame carbon but the problem is that you can't have guest-host communication

and that's what im looking for

#

thanks anyway

tame carbon Feb 24, 2021, 7:02 PM

#

@pale latch you need a network bridge

#

if you want guest-host communication

#

the host would use NAT for the guest to go out on the rest of the network

#

it would have an internal IP that's local to your machine only

pale latch Feb 24, 2021, 7:03 PM

#

yeah i think i will just use bridge networking in docker then because it makes the most sense now that you have said it

tame carbon Feb 24, 2021, 7:03 PM

you can use PPP on the router you connect to it

in this case, the device will function as a pure modem

tame carbon Feb 24, 2021, 7:13 PM

@dusky flame if its just twisted pair copper dsl, you can in theory grab any modem that supports the specification of the dslam

#

and then use your own router

#

though if you use IPTV and some other specific services, not every ISP is as keen on sharing information

dusky flame Feb 24, 2021, 7:15 PM

#

ah

tame carbon Feb 24, 2021, 7:15 PM

you need to configure your router for those things also

but if its just internet

or you have an ISP that just gives you a printout

or login info

then its dead easy :P

On your windows computer, open CMD and type in "ipconfig /flushdns" This will flush the DNS cache and force it to look to your configured DNS server. Also, clear out your browser cache. Sometimes it just throws up the ads because you have already downloaded it - no DNS lookup needed.

On your phone, there should be these options at least:

DNS Server is where you put in the Pihole IP

#

@thick minnow

IP Is the actual IP that you want the device to have, you can't have two of the same IPs

Default Gateway is the IP of your router

I don't live in Indiana, but I saw the link of MetroNet somewhere and it seemed like some smaller non-wisp fiber ISP. Do most of these companies own their own and lay their own fiber lines or do they somehow rent them from larger providers?

@tacit mantle when i get random ping spikes, not connecting to server ect ect i always check down detector.com to see if servers are having issues

then open a command prompt and tracert to the game address.

because a whole game takes like 15mins and it gets really annoying with the ping spikes and the rubberbanding

how can i reduce the interferance

primal ice Feb 25, 2021, 5:47 AM

#

think of it like this it request packets 1 2 3 4 it gets packets 1 2 4 but drops 3 then it tries to get 3 and until it gets 3 its sitting there not doing anything. mean while packet 5 6 7 8 come in but its still waiting for 3.. you would need to get a wifi signal analyzer and see how congested your air ways are. normally can be found for free in a app store for your phone.

chipset drivers then networking drivers from your motherboard (system builder if prebuilt) manufacturers site.

tacit mantle Feb 25, 2021, 7:07 AM

if you have another ethernet cable try that possible a wire broke so you are only getting half the connection. and double check the adapter setting making sure its in full duplex mode.

I spent 4 hours troubleshooting why Im not getting 10gbit transfers on my dev network. Turns out I just forgot to disable traffic shaping on the distributed virtual switch in vmware 🙂

Hi I need some help setting up my router. My main router is my ISP's router and my speed is gigabit. I tested the speed via LAN already (using cat6e). I bought a second router since the wifi on the free one sucks. I bought the TP-LINK Archer AX20, AX1800 model which has gigabit WAN port and 4 gigabit LAN port. I routed the LAN cable (from which I tested 1 gigabit) to the WAN port of my Archer router but I'm getting only 100Mbps out of that one. What's the problem here? I set the router to be DHCP, default Mac address.

#

I'm resetting the Archer router and trying to set it up again right now

#

I am very, very confused. Please note that I can't just replace the router since they didn't give us a media converter. The fiber cable runs straight into their router

cable

spiral anchor Feb 25, 2021, 2:41 PM

#

It's the same cable I tested and got 1 gigabit with

peak cloak Feb 25, 2021, 2:41 PM

#

when a speed is limited to 100mbps that's usually a cable issue

spiral anchor Feb 25, 2021, 2:41 PM

#

I thought it was the cable as well

peak cloak Feb 25, 2021, 2:42 PM

#

in the router, check what speeds it negotiating

spiral anchor Feb 25, 2021, 2:42 PM

#

How do I check that?

peak cloak Feb 25, 2021, 2:42 PM

#

depends, let me look it up for yours

spiral anchor Feb 25, 2021, 2:43 PM

#

I am very lost here

#

And confused

peak cloak Feb 25, 2021, 2:43 PM

#

you have the Archer AX20 right?

spiral anchor Feb 25, 2021, 2:43 PM

#

peak cloak you have the Archer AX20 right?

Yes

#

I tried both wireless router mode and AP mode. AP mode just won't let me configure the router. Goes straight to the isp's settings page instead of its own

yeah

#

you want to be in AP mode though

#

you need to go to a different IP
