networking

[peak cloak]

routeros is used much more in the ISP space

@tender hazel would know

[thick minnow]

ok thanks

i want to run my own hardware as well

[peak cloak]

I feel like you have no clue what to do

[thick minnow]

your right

i already have a good wireless network across tyown

and im currently just using an edgerouter assigning ip's in the range of 192.168.110.0/24

[peak cloak]

if you want to run a proper isp, you would want to get an AS number, get peering agreements and ip transit

[peak cloak]

yeah, that's just NAT

you do not want nat

also

if you want to be a good isp

deploy ipv6

I would highly advise you to get someone who knows what they are doing

[hollow marlin]

PFsense for pure routing with customers downstream, yeah no thank you

VyOS hands down if you want your own hardware

[plucky crescent]

What action can you hope for from that information, though?

[tender hazel]

yeah he messaged me, that's what I was telling him

I also let him know about CHR and the bare metal RouterOS x86 version

[primal ice]

as a single person its just a sanity check - I posted the information and how to use said information on the EA forums got a bunch of other people also sanity checking and bitching at EA and about 8 months later they stopped using that peering. of course in the mean time I just stopped paying for the game and gave up on the game. but that was my choice.

[hoary glacier]

does anyone know what type of power cable tp link tx50e ax3000 uses?

i cant find it on the page >.>

[peak cloak]

power cable?

[hoary glacier]

ya

[peak cloak]

oh no clue

[hoary glacier]

hmm

[hollow marlin]

We are actually have a ton of issues on our Zayo peering right now. Been a crap shoot since turning it up

[primal ice]

it uses pcie power, looks like the cable is just a usb header cable for bluetooth.@hoary glacier

[hoary glacier]

icic

[primal ice]

yeah under paid techs over congested network.

[hoary glacier]

doesnt that mean that i could just not plug in and just use it as it is ?

because i cant seem to find the right spot to put the cable on a msi z170a m3

[primal ice]

yeah it should work but you will not get bluetooth with it.

[hoary glacier]

aite

[primal ice]

more or less tech-support stuff but -- it would be that header on the board, which you probably already populated with front USB - heh.

[hoary glacier]

LOL ic thanks

ehh i dont really use bluetooth so i should be fine

[primal ice]

yup

[hoary glacier]

tqs

@primal ice

Found it I think.

[primal ice]

yeah

[hoary glacier]

yup alright

Is this link local address calculation correct?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/372742316177227776/852452890760970240/20210610_131251.jpg

[tame carbon]

wat

paper does not compute

[frigid pine]

??

[tame carbon]

link local address isn't nessesarily a mutation of the MAC

it usually is, but doesn't have to be

[frigid pine]

The source I am learning from says it is generated using the MAC. 😄

So lets assume if it is derived from MAC is it correct?

[tame carbon]

@frigid pine I cannot confirm

I tried pulling the doc from the RFC

but it links to a page from the ietf that 404's out

no idea what algorithm is used for the EUI64 calculation

[frigid pine]

1. Insert FFFE inthe exact middle of a MAC.
2. Flip the 7th bit of the generated hex.
3. Prefix the result with FE80::

That's what I know.

[tame carbon]

pseudocode is more useful

its just a bitshift with an &-operation

[lean pebble]

Anyone knows a good open source mail server ?

[tame carbon]

@lean pebble https://mailinabox.email/

[lean pebble]

Works on centos ?

[tame carbon]

This is incoming mail exchanger (SMTP Server)
Outgoing mail (SMTP Client)
Spamassasin antispam
and I think it uses roundcube for a webclient

[lean pebble]

Because I saw ubuntu only

Webclient doesn't really matters my friend connect it as mail exchange on his phone and outlook

[tame carbon]

that's not gonna fly

This isn't exchange.

You cannot use outlook's features with this

[lean pebble]

With autodiscover

[tame carbon]

That's exchange.

[lean pebble]

Well with iredmail pro you can do it but cost money

[tame carbon]

to manage your mailbox you can use IMAP

[lean pebble]

I don't know why he needs it instead just using normal pop3 imap

[tame carbon]

pop3 is no longer used

IMAP is the one you want

[lean pebble]

I use pop3 with my mail server

[tame carbon]

ew, one-way synchronization

[lean pebble]

Pop3s

[tame carbon]

IMAP allows you to create folders, move mails between folders, and synchronize with the mailbox on the server

pop is just retrieval of mails

its ment for offline use

[lean pebble]

I'm only using it for spam mails moving from my main mail all spam to it

[tame carbon]

:3

spamassasin ftw

[lean pebble]

Google spam assassin sucks

[tame carbon]

too aggressive, I agree

[lean pebble]

And I'm lazy to unsubscribe to each of them so I just move it via imap from it to my server

Once a year going to my mail server to remove all of the spam mails from my [e-mail]

Isn't CDP Cisco proprietary?

Yep thats why the C stands for Cisco

Does anyone know if I can just use a switch to plug two wan cables together to have more range? The cable between the modem and my router is too short.

[peak cloak]

WAN cables?

you mean ethernet?

but if you mean ethernet, then yes a switch could be used to extend a ethernet cable

you could just use a coupler

as long as it's below 100m iirc

[worthy sigil]

Yeah, those standard ethernet cables

[worthy sigil]

perfect! thanks!

I have several switches laying around already

[peak cloak]

ah

just check the speed

they could be 10/100, so you will be limited to 100mbps

[worthy sigil]

I've got gigabit switches

[peak cloak]

ah ok

[worthy sigil]

It's because I'm moving to a new appartment, and the wiring in the building needed to be quite a bit longer

[peak cloak]

switches just work on Layer 2, so there is no routing done, it's just ethernet packet switching

[clear igloo]

Just keep in mind only the router and modem can connect to the switch. If you have just a modem without a router built in and something else is plugged into the switch then it will get a public IP and your router won't so everything on the router will be left without internet access

[peak cloak]

^

[worthy sigil]

I'll 3d print some fake ethernet plugs to prevent anyone from accessing them

Thanks for the tip!

I'm hoping someone can help he out regarding playback on Plex. Since yesterday, while trying to remote play some content, I've been getting the error code 4294967283, stating an unknown error. I thought it might be a network issue so I reset everything. I can access the server fine and download content but still get the error. It's been working fine for months and it only just started.

The server is currently running in an i5 9600, 16gb RAM, RTX 2070 SUPER, and windows 10 on a hardwire connection.
If anyone has experience with this, id really appreciate the help

I currently don't have physical access to the server as I'm out of town, if that matters

[short relic]

I have a weird issue

I have a thunderbolt dock, and when I unplug my laptop, my ethernet network stops functioning

Router/modem are fine, but the LAN communication is dropped until the dock is turned off or ethernet is unplugged

is there a good software for like monitoring network traffic to detect this "packet storm" so i can send applicable data to the dock vendor? (they referred to it as a 'packet storm' and were wondering if i could capture any data that could help them fix the issue)

[peak cloak]

wireshark

top software for packet capture

[short relic]

how do I use wireshark to capture network stuff

[worthy sigil]

I've got those, but then I'm not going to get close to the gigabit speed I'd like

[tame carbon]

That doesn't make sense

[peak cloak]

you install it on a computer, may need to restart, then start the capture

[tame carbon]

you either have gigabit, or you don't

@worthy sigil gigabit over twisted pair is up to like 100 meters

[short relic]

FOr reference:
I have a macbook air connected to thunderbolt dock. As soon as I unplug the macbook from the dock, the packet storm starts on the whole LAN. So presumably I can use a secondary computer to detect this?

[tame carbon]

@worthy sigil if it cannot handle gigabit speeds either because too far away, or electrical fault on one of the 8 wires, it will switch to fast ethernet which is only 100M

but there's no inbetween

[short relic]

ive used wireshark briefly with class, but it was only on machine

[peak cloak]

yes

if it's a broadcast storm

you can filter packets to be just broadcast

and then save the pcap

[short relic]

is broadcast storm the typical name for this?

[peak cloak]

yeah, if it's broadcast traffic

[short relic]

gotcha

so if i just look up "use wireshark to monitor broadcast storm" i should find all the info I need (presumably)?

[worthy sigil]

Exactly, I've got 100mbit rn

[peak cloak]

it's really self explanatory

[short relic]

cool

[peak cloak]

you may need to create a filter if you just want broadcast

[short relic]

ill play around with it

[tame carbon]

@worthy sigil how long is your cable?

[clear igloo]

which thunderbolt dock @short relic

[peak cloak]

just broadcast is literally just this

[short relic]

Corsair TBT100 TB3 dock
Only happens with macOS

[peak cloak]

I don't have much broadcast on my pc since it's only connected to a switch and therefore I don't get much ARP

[short relic]

hmm

my desktop is on the same switch as the TB3 dock

[peak cloak]

but It'll look like this

[clear igloo]

@short relic Seems to be a known issue with that dock

[worthy sigil]

Probably around 60 meters, and around 15 years old

[tame carbon]

cable is probably damaged

either its got a kink somewhere

or the termination got loose

[short relic]

yeah we know lol
the manufacturer/firmware vendor somehow are the only ones who have trouble recreating the issue, so they are asking for network logs

[worthy sigil]

Right now there's just a very old router connecting it halfway through

[hollow marlin]

I remember a reddit post a while back reporting the same issues with docks storming the network. Seems to be quite common which is comforting

[clear igloo]

AH! So that's why you want the pcap 🙂

[tame carbon]

@worthy sigil are you able to replace the cable?

[short relic]

pcap?

[peak cloak]

if it's 15

it's probobly only 2 pairs

gigabit needs 4 pairs

[clear igloo]

Someone took down the entire floor at work a few years ago because their mac monitor decided at random to blast broadcast traffic at 10Gig 😄

[peak cloak]

packet capture

[clear igloo]

It's what wireshark saves files as

[short relic]

oh lol

i was thinking capacitors

[clear igloo]

lol

[short relic]

ahhh

packet capture

pcap

i just got it

i need more coffee apparently

[hollow marlin]

Im curious if their "switchchip" is more a hub to cause such issues

[clear igloo]

I think it was resolved with a firmware update but I can't remember off hand now

[hollow marlin]

@short relic you mind sharing a snipit/screenshot of the capture here. Curious if it is a storm or what might be happening

[short relic]

okay so just a little playing around with it and i got this

as soon as i unplugged the dock this happened

[worthy sigil]

Unfortunately this is a very old, shared building

[tame carbon]

@worthy sigil can you check the termination on both ends?

could j ust be that one of the keystones got loose

you could cut it off, and crimp a new one on there

its the part that usually breaks first

esp if you tug on it a lot

[worthy sigil]

I might be able to do that, unfortunately not at the time. I have no clue where this cable runs. I'll have to talk to my landlord this weekend

[tame carbon]

100M it is.

[worthy sigil]

For now

At least it's usable

[shadow garden]

would changing a wifi channel disconnect every device that's connected to it?

like say, i change my router's 2.4G from channel 8 to channel 11

[peak cloak]

I changed the channel on my AP, and no it did not disconnect

[shadow garden]

alright

[hollow marlin]

That is not a broadcast storm, most likely an unknown unicast flood but that should not be that impactful. Any other non-tcp packets in that capture?

[tame carbon]

@short relic this linux you running?

could check interface statistics

see how much its dropping

[short relic]

i need to go eat lunch but ill check again in Linux in a little bit

[drifting sandal]

Hello, I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.

[frigid pine]

But then how come Mikrotik is using it on their devices?

[peak cloak]

they are not

it's compatible with it

[hollow marlin]

They don't, they can understand CDP, but Mikrotik uses their own discovery. CDP is multicast while Mikrotik's is broadcast

[short condor]

Hello guys! I am looking for a good pcie intel nic with two or more ports for my pfsense box. Any good ideas? ☺️

[tame carbon]

10G?

[frigid pine]

There is an otion to choose from the discovery protocol in neighbor settings where we can choose between CDP, LLDP and MNDP. What's these? If I choose CDP only then also it discovers devices.

[tame carbon]

also, ew pfsense

[short condor]

Would be nice but not a must. ☺️

[tame carbon]

weeel really depends on money

[short condor]

Let me guess. Opnsense?

[peak cloak]

The hype in homelab is vyos now

[tame carbon]

general purpose computers are very inefficient as routers

[peak cloak]

I like vyos

but I wouldn't call it user friendly

for the newbie

since it's all cli

[short condor]

Well, I am using a i5-6600k in mine. It routes 900mb down/500mb up no problem.

[peak cloak]

also power

but you do you

[tame carbon]

waste of power lol

[short condor]

250w* psu.

[clear igloo]

lldp is industry standard
MNDP is mikrotik's version of CDP

[tame carbon]

@short condor that's a lot

most routers run on something like arm or another type of cpu for a reason

[short condor]

Yes but show me something that can route my openvpn through for example PIA (I am using a Swedish vpn service) and it gives me those speeds.

[tame carbon]

openvpn is terrible

use wireguard pls

[short condor]

The day it is user-friendly, I will use wire guard.

[tame carbon]

?!

[frigid pine]

Yeah but how come Mikrotiks being discovered when selecting CDP?

[hollow marlin]

Mikrotik is programmed to understand CDP packets

Plenty of vendors can understand CDP

[tame carbon]

@short condor wireguard is fine

its just using public key cryptography instead of user credentials

[frigid pine]

We are using IBM x5500s and doing 4Gbps up/down.

[tame carbon]

main reason why:

[rocky badge]

Running WG on a 2 core VM with a Xeon E5 2650 in the host....I get gigabit lol

[short condor]

It has been a lot of back and forth with wireguard in pfsense and opensense, that’s what I meant with user friendly. Need some kind of package install now. Not native integration. We went about OT. 😅 About the nic. Any good to recommend?

[peak cloak]

that's just pfsense

in linux it's pretty ez

[rocky badge]

I was on a guest WiFi somewhere and they were using the same ISP as me at home, so I ran a speedtest without VPN and with VPN lol

barely any difference in speed

[tame carbon]

@short condor https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/84804/intel-ethernet-server-adapter-i350-t2v2.html

[frigid pine]

You need to decide the throughput for us to recommend something. :D

[rocky badge]

https://i.ryois.me/uFDLdIWjns.png

Not much of a difference anyways

[tame carbon]

slow phone

must be an iphone

[rocky badge]

Plus, I was outside and pretty far away from their AP

[tame carbon]

that latency though

oof

[rocky badge]

And I guess they have a limit on their guest WiFi

[short condor]

With my current setup at home of a macmini server with a quad core from 2012. With openvpn and pfsense. No problems there. At the office with a 10Gig/10Gig I only get 1gig because I need a new Nic.

[rocky badge]

https://i.ryois.me/vVxd7Lgw1z.png

I should probably give my wireguard VM more cores though lol

[low pond]

which host

[rocky badge]

My R620 at home lol

ok it has 8 cores now

[low pond]

I need to setup wireguard.

[short condor]

With my current setup at home of a macmini server with a quad core from 2012. With openvpn and pfsense. No problems there. At the office with a 10Gig/10Gig I only get 1gig because I need a new Nic.

[low pond]

But too lazy/I think it's hard

[rocky badge]

lol https://i.ryois.me/7KkT1emkPI.png

[short condor]

10Gig I would prefer.

[rocky badge]

not bad lol https://i.ryois.me/MG6TPicfRW.png

I'm fine with 600/500 on a VPN where my uplink is 500Mbps

[short condor]

Is this any good? https://www.amazon.com/10Gtek-X540-T2-Converged-Network-Adapter/dp/B01HMGWOU8?th=1&psc=1

[tame carbon]

@short condor 10G is its own domain really, not really exists as combo ports with 1G and 10G

what you can do however

is get SFP+ cards

those are modular

and generally cheaper

Intel X520-DA2

2x 10G SFP+

[short condor]

I was thinking of getting a 2port 10Gig nic like the one I linked. I am able to get it for 130 dollars.

[tame carbon]

@short condor yeah but that thing does only 10g :P

so the rest of your gear would need to be 10G as well

[short condor]

Aha!

[rocky badge]

uh

no

https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/58954/intel-ethernet-converged-network-adapter-x540-t2.html

X540-T2s operate at 10G/1G/100M

[tame carbon]

Discontinued

oh 520 is as well

[short condor]

Amazon has it for 130 dollars in Sweden.

The 540-t2

[thick minnow]

Got this with isp router wifi lmao

[rocky badge]

nb iperf3 over wg https://i.ryois.me/N1oa8IYVVR.png

Remote is Google Cloud

Google Cloud VM has a WG connection back home

[thick minnow]

[short condor]

Do you think the 540-T2 is a good buy?

[rocky badge]

I mean, I generally don't do 10GBASE-T unless I have to

but if I had to, yeah that's pretty good

10Gtek is also good

Works across most stuff and not vendor locked

Although you can probably find cheaper on ebay/used

https://i.ryois.me/AZ6gjwgV48.png

https://i.ryois.me/j6unZAlySv.png

"Dell" branded works as a normal Intel card, its just Dell part numbers

[short condor]

So preferably the X520-DA2 would be a better choice?

[rocky badge]

Yeah, you'll need SFP+s though, which again are pretty cheap

Either fiber or DAC

Something like these https://i.ryois.me/2DAYYE9xAw.png

Its just copper but with SFP+

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=10gtek+DAC&ref=nb_sb_noss_2
https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313&_nkw=SFP%2B+dac&_sacat=0

[short condor]

I have a ubiquiti switch with sfp and I will also soon get fiber into my house so that would work right Pfsense right?

[severe wigeon]

SFP/+ DAC's are lovely

Rarely have issues with them for me

[rocky badge]

Fiber to your house will depend on your ISP

[severe wigeon]

Though they can't negotiate down iirc?

[rocky badge]

but yeah, any of those work with Ubiquiti SFP

[rocky badge]

You can force

[severe wigeon]

Ah

[rocky badge]

if it doesn't auto

(Although some may not train 1000 BASE)

[severe wigeon]

Must just be fortigate problems then

[rocky badge]

Depends on the module/etc

[severe wigeon]

el cheapo amazon

[rocky badge]

but if you're running 10 Gig no problem

[tame carbon]

gpon can be iffy

[severe wigeon]

that's just the nature of gpon

it's at the limit of the trunk

[rocky badge]

If you're getting fiber to your house, depending on your ISP that will limit your options

What they use/what their policies are/how its configured & setup/etc

[severe wigeon]

IIRC, ISP's such as ATT and them often require you use their ONT's for management/leasing

[rocky badge]

But internally in your house, SFP+ will work

If you get fiber, each end has to be similar/same preferred modules

DACs have shorter distance but just work ™️

DACs will also have less processing latency too

Since it will be electrical signals all the way, not converting to laser/led

[tame carbon]

DAC^

[severe wigeon]

If you're feeling lucky, you can try convince your ISP to actually give you a "paired" transceiver that you can use on your pfSense box

Shae actually did a video on that

[short condor]

The switch is only 1000 atm. Will be a microtic in the future. Also, that’s why I want to find a cheapish solution so that I can upgrade the server to be connected directly to the pfsense box without going through the switch. And with that it will use 10Gig

[rocky badge]

But yeah, if you don't mind sharing what ISP it is, that will help

[tame carbon]

I recently helped someone out with their Telus stuff

hastle to get working

@short condor CRS309 is a nice switch to have

[rocky badge]

but tbh, if your ISP provides you with Ethernet hand off of the termination point

[severe wigeon]

Shouldn't be

[rocky badge]

That will be fine

[tame carbon]

https://mikrotik.com/product/crs309_1g_8s_in

[rocky badge]

And for ISPs like AT&T, they will 1:1 NAT for you

[severe wigeon]

Knew it was only a matter of time before the mikrotik shilling

[rocky badge]

Which is fine enough tbh for AT&T

[severe wigeon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P6Miz-wRcw

Telus

[rocky badge]

way less hassle to configure and setup lol

[thick minnow]

Bruh what’s wrong with att

[tame carbon]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/776722183119699988/777646103775674368/IMG-20200922-WA0001.jpg

[thick minnow]

Att is cheap

[short condor]

I live in Sweden. They terminate the fiber with MultiMode in the house. Then they provide you with a router and it’s done. I would just skip using their stuff and use my own.

[thick minnow]

Gigabit for 45 a month🥳

[rocky badge]

I mean, yeah AT&T service isn't bad

[short condor]

10Gig for 49.99 a month here. 😁

[rocky badge]

So depending on how they're configuring/setting it up will limit what you can do

[tame carbon]

@short condor you shouldn't even need their router. If you can get just a module that you can plug into SFP+

then you are good

[rocky badge]

if the SFP is removable like Telus and AT&T you can probably stick it a router

[severe wigeon]

Careful though

Some NIC's can't power the transceiver provided

[tame carbon]

the guy I helped with telus, he actually got a paired transceiver

[severe wigeon]

it's rare but possible

[short condor]

39.99 1gig
49,99 10gig

[severe wigeon]

If only

[tame carbon]

thats the sorta stuff you want ^

[rocky badge]

If you can remove the SFP like this you can shove it in another router and do whatever is needed

[tame carbon]

ditch the box

[rocky badge]

For instance, with AT&T you can just run WPA_Supplicant with that SFP

[severe wigeon]

Lol I still have the doc for the BGW210

[rocky badge]

but that requires the BGW320 router, not the 210

[severe wigeon]

Wasn't the 210 deprecated?

[tame carbon]

casual rootkit

[rocky badge]

or the crappy pace

[rocky badge]

They no longer install it in new installs

All new customers get 320s

Because it has NBASE-T ports

[short condor]

This is how they leave it

[tame carbon]

oh

[rocky badge]

So an APC/SPC connector

[tame carbon]

active E ?

[rocky badge]

That's just the splice tray

That's not the ONT/router

[tame carbon]

I have two splices here

not sure why

I only use one of them

[rocky badge]

Typical practice

[short condor]

That’s where they terminate the fiber from the outside. Then we connect the router to this fiber box.

[tame carbon]

@short condor no that box is where the fiber terminates

oh wait, you got gpon then?

they branch off?

[rocky badge]

he said that https://i.ryois.me/2qNUSL0BJh.png

lol

[short condor]

😅

[severe wigeon]

beat me to it blob

[rocky badge]

Although

[tame carbon]

inb4 DWDM

[rocky badge]

That kinda looks how mine is

[short condor]

Yeah like that.

[rocky badge]

Then the ONT/electronics go in front of it

[severe wigeon]

No consumers will ever get real dwdm

let alone CWDM

[rocky badge]

too costy

[tame carbon]

They offer 10G plans?

I don't see how you do this with GPON

[rocky badge]

10G PON

[severe wigeon]

XGPON

[tame carbon]

is that a thing?

digusting

[rocky badge]

Yes

[severe wigeon]

Of course it is

[short condor]

Meaning? I should be able to connect to that and with sfp+ fiber on the other side into the x520?

[severe wigeon]

They have it in Korea

One of my buds has it

[rocky badge]

Again

Depends on your ISP

[short condor]

👍🏻

[rocky badge]

https://www.telecompetitor.com/att-fiber-begins-transition-to-next-generation-xgs-pon-ftth/ @severe wigeon

Part of the reason why AT&T wants people on 320s

[severe wigeon]

oh XGS

[rocky badge]

Easier to upgrade later

[severe wigeon]

Wait

WHAT?

[rocky badge]

https://about.att.com/story/xgs_pon_broadband_field_trial.html

[short condor]

Yes, for 49.99 I get the option to have 10Gig.

Comcast is doing multi gig over DOCSIS

[severe wigeon]

"doing"

[rocky badge]

https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20201008005824/en/Comcast-Reaches-10G-Technical-Milestone-Delivering-1.25-Gig-Symmetrical-Speeds-in-Trial-Over-a-Live-All-Digital-HFC-Network

They technically already are

[tame carbon]

as if 5G wasnt dangerous enough

[rocky badge]

Gigabit plans are over provisioned to 1200-1500Mbps

[tame carbon]

now we have to worry about 10G as well?!

[severe wigeon]

I say that as in it likely will never come to consumers

[rocky badge]

You just need a modem that has a mGig port

[clear igloo]

Just wait until 100G XD

[tame carbon]

we'll all doomed

[severe wigeon]

A wild Lurick appears

[rocky badge]

https://www.dslreports.com/faq/15643

[severe wigeon]

I know comcast provisions 1200, it even says it on their website

[rocky badge]

Yeah

Gigabit Pro is fiber though

I wouldn't be surprised to see higher speeds coming though

[severe wigeon]

with docsis handoff iirc

[rocky badge]

Nope

Gigabit Pro is all fiber

[severe wigeon]

They changed?

[rocky badge]

Its always been fiber

[severe wigeon]

Every GPro setup i've seen also had copper ran in

[rocky badge]

You get a 10 Gig link from their node

They provision 3Gbps/3Gbps

[short condor]

Is there a limitation if I runt 2 of those x520 in the same box? I want my server to have a direct connection to the pfsense box. No intermediate switches.

[rocky badge]

2Gbps of it from a SFP+ port and 1Gbps of it from a RJ45 port

[severe wigeon]

Ahhh

[rocky badge]

Just your motherboard/CPU's PCIE lanes

[severe wigeon]

That's where I confused it

[severe wigeon]

make sure the 520's are getting air

mine get TOASTY

[short condor]

Hard for you to answer I guess but I have a i5-6600k

[rocky badge]

That's fine

the NIC is PCIE 2 anyways

like a x8 or something, so your CPU has plenty of lanes

[severe wigeon]

x8

[rocky badge]

@severe wigeon https://i.ryois.me/0hQT1eopQv.png

[short condor]

Yea, was planning to put a 40mm noctua fan on it.

[severe wigeon]

I stand corrected

[rocky badge]

That's also a crazy expensive switch lol

[severe wigeon]

Lmao

Juniper goes wild

[rocky badge]

Comcast isn't paying retail for it though

https://i.ryois.me/0RQCGarzgf.png

$10,477.99 advertised on CDW

[severe wigeon]

I can't imagine the cost of replacing

[rocky badge]

On a plan that costs $300/mo

with $1000 initial fees

[short condor]

Better of buying two x520 or getting 1 x520 and 1 of the 99$ mikrotik 10Gig sfp switches?

[rocky badge]

24 month contract iirc

[severe wigeon]

Physical cards

[rocky badge]

You can trunk off the 10 gig to the switch if you want to

[severe wigeon]

can usually get pretty cheap

@rocky badge I see me and you operate differently

Must be why i'm always having to redo shit

[rocky badge]

well its always good to have multiple ideas

lol

Multiple options will help you choose a better option

[short condor]

[rocky badge]

yeah that works

[severe wigeon]

I love my DA-2's

[severe wigeon]

Haven't seen a single OS besides windows 10 that doesn't support them

[rocky badge]

these are my spares lol

[rocky badge]

Windows should, it doesn't include drivers tho

you'll have to download them

[severe wigeon]

thats what I mean

out of the box

[rocky badge]

Yeah

Intel is widely supported across most OSes which is nice

Same for Broadcom

even BSD and shit lol

@severe wigeon @clear igloo I wish WireGuard could on demand/always on on Windows

[severe wigeon]

My only experience with WG is through PIA lmao

[rocky badge]

lol

[short condor]

How does pfsense handle 10Gig though? Any idea?

[rocky badge]

Depends on your CPU

@chrome hound has (had?) a 4790K running pfSense for their 10 Gig internet and it handled it pretty ok

[peak cloak]

vyos is better from what other people said

[rocky badge]

But that all depends on your CPU and such

[peak cloak]

for 10gig

[chrome hound]

yea I am using a 4790k

[short condor]

Is only the setup command line or does it have a web ui?

[chrome hound]

more or less the Network card makes a massive difference in performance

[peak cloak]

only cli

there are 3rd party webuis

although I never used them

[rocky badge]

Does pfSense use hardware offload from the NIC?

[chrome hound]

if you have the correct card

[rocky badge]

Nice

[peak cloak]

I personally just prefer a dedicated router

[chrome hound]

the intel nics have hte hardware but lack driver support in bsod

[peak cloak]

I am going to use vyos tho for dn42

[chrome hound]

I am runing the Chelsio dual port nic

[rocky badge]

Chelsio is also nice lol, although I don't have any of their NICs

but my friends do

I think one of my friends is running Chelsio for OPNsense

[chrome hound]

Vyos is fine if you are looking for raw routing, but I need other things like Blocker NG and what not

[peak cloak]

yeah, reasonable

I use just have a pihole vm

[chrome hound]

but at that point why not jsut use a microtik in router setup its about the same level of security

[rocky badge]

pfBlocker NG does more than DNS

[peak cloak]

I heard tho Blocker NG is better than pihole

like with the images

it actually sends an white image

[peak cloak]

yeah

[rocky badge]

because pfBlocker NG can also add firewall rules

[chrome hound]

well it all depends on how you want to set things up

[rocky badge]

not just DNS blocking

[short condor]

A 10Gig microtik with routerOS is the best option If I vpn and other stuff is not a must?

[chrome hound]

but it will cost your performace hits on the system

[peak cloak]

routeros can do vpn

[chrome hound]

well something like that but its not a secure option

[rocky badge]

if you're doing a VPN, pfSense's performance will 📉 (over the VPN)

but I typically don't run a VPN on my edge device lol

[chrome hound]

not as much as you think blob

my work VPN is on PFsense

and I get pretty solid 10g through it

[rocky badge]

Yeah, just depends on the config & hw accelerated crypto

So if its something like IPSec

[short condor]

I am using a macmini-server from 2012 with a quad core i7 and I get the 500 down 50 up that I pay for. With openvpn in pfsense.

[peak cloak]

although

aren't netgate kinda shitty

business wise

[chrome hound]

man how do people live onm sub gig internet

[peak cloak]

most of the time

people don't need gig lol

I could have had gig

[chrome hound]

the hell they don't

[peak cloak]

but I just don't need it

[rocky badge]

its nice when you actually use gig though

[peak cloak]

like

when you need it it's nice

but is it worth the cost

[rocky badge]

plus my internet is pretty cheap

[short condor]

Well, I am still waiting for them to dig into my garden and deliver the damn fiber. Then 10Gig for 49$ is a very compelling upgrade.

[chrome hound]

I would have to cut my wife off the internet if I only had 1 gig

[rocky badge]

Normal usage is like ~20Mbps here lol

constantly

Because everything is IP based

[peak cloak]

how lol

[chrome hound]

I am sitting at about 3.5 gig steady

[peak cloak]

do you really use that much

how

linux iso?

[chrome hound]

you would be suprised how much you can consume when you setup allows for it

every stream is hd or higher quality

[peak cloak]

even with streaming

it doesn't use THAT much

we don't stream much

I mean yt, all the time, but no super high quality vids

[chrome hound]

I might be also hosting some things

oh hey @rocky badge I decom'd my NetApp

[rocky badge]

oof

[chrome hound]

it was time

[rocky badge]

several streams of YT TV lol https://i.ryois.me/OUkiIrYhEZ.png

Across the house

[rocky badge]

👌 even better

[chrome hound]

its a little over kill on cpu

[rocky badge]

June 1st to today https://i.ryois.me/Ona57JXdkP.png

[chrome hound]

56 days of up time on my firewall

[rocky badge]

We're getting a R7525 in the lab at school

[chrome hound]

nice

[rocky badge]

3rd gen EPYC

https://i.ryois.me/Fy0WBD7Irl.png

highest uptime device is the UPS Pi lol

(I only got the router 28 days ago)

So its almost at 22 days lol

[chrome hound]

lol

[rocky badge]

its crazy how cheap this server is going to be lol @chrome hound

~$6,000 before discounts

No tax for most stuff lol

[chrome hound]

well its amd they are trying to break into intels strong hold

[rocky badge]

The server is only $3,400 itself

[chrome hound]

its really a win for everyone unless intel just ignroes it and goes under 😄

[rocky badge]

https://i.ryois.me/17AQ7uQASK.png

oop its the R7515

the R7525 is the dual socket version

plenty of I/O for our needs lol

[chrome hound]

I think you should send that to me so I can "break" it in for you and make sure its an acceptable server

[rocky badge]

EPYC 7413 so its a 24 core 48 thread @ 2.65ghz system

dual 1.1kW PSUs

tax exemption

[thick minnow]

Wtf u need a server for

[peak cloak]

lots of things

hosting

storage

[chrome hound]

things man

[thick minnow]

Oh

Yea gotta store that only fans

[thick minnow]

Bruh do u mine crypto

[peak cloak]

you don't mind crypto on cpus lol

that's like all cpu power

[thick minnow]

U probably could

Hard drive mining

Gpu mining

[peak cloak]

nah, that stuff sucks anyway

put that storage to real work

[thorny vector]

Monero is mildly profitable on high core count cpu's, but generally people with the cores to make it worth their while are making money doing other stuff with them

[waxen scroll]

@clear igloo i see extreme networks

mounted the wrong way too

[hollow marlin]

Its upside down, all the packets are going to fall out

[waxen scroll]

nope its correct

thats just how they look

[rocky badge]

@severe wigeon Looked at 2021 Form 471 for my school....They have
5Gbps WAN, burst to 6Gbps at high school
1.5Gbps, burst to 2Gbps Central Office <-> High School
1Gbps, Alternative School <-> High School
5Gbps between 12 Schools <-> High School
7.5Gbps, burst to 10Gbps ??? <-> High School

For a grand total of $530,000 pre E-Rate discount

With an 80% discount

[waxen scroll]

That's bad. You can get 40-100gb circuits now

[rocky badge]

I doubt that will fit in their budget lol

[thick minnow]

has anyone had this?

I put in key and it keeps doing that

[shadow garden]

no but i see you're lacking in creativity for your router's name

[jovial oriole]

[shadow garden]

Even something like “5G Coronavirus Emitter” would be more creative 😂 (yes I named my 5ghz guest wifi that)

[tame carbon]

FBI_SURVEILLANCE_VAN

[shadow garden]

That’s my main wifi name, with a (SLOW) suffix for the 2.4 ghz network

Confused the cable guy too at first until I explained my naming scheme

But hopefully it’ll serve as a nudge to everyone to get wifi 5/6 ready devices

moreso given that my laptop is the only thing that ISN’T 802.11ac/ax ready

[tame carbon]

my laptop doesn't even have dual band

[low pond]

same

2Ghz only

[low pond]

mine is dlink-4300 (yes i lacc creativity too)

default SSID's = prem

Default router password too! = prem

[small glade]

In promotional material for 10gbit fiber we get a peek at what the central datacenter of tet (Latvian isp) looks like lol. Anyone more knowledgeable can tell me if it is actually something in those pics or just promotional images like cursed stock images?

[low pond]

just looks like some switching/router based equipment

[thick minnow]

someone help me with flex

[pure sparrow]

Hey just curious if anyone could help me, just had new internet fitted thats up to 600mbps, i've got a powerline that is rated for 600mbps and the ethernet on my motherboard is gigabit, but if i go to the network settings its only showing as a 100mbps link and thats what speedtest is maxing out at.

[thick minnow]

here is a folder of bojack horseman on a drive

[pure sparrow]

over the wifi im getting 450-500mbps so i know its not the internet itself

[thick minnow]

but it just doesn't come up in plex

[tame carbon]

@small glade that looks legit

that looks like a modular router, with endpoint interfaces for fibers

@pure sparrow check your cables

100M wired ethernet usually indicates a technical problem

gigabit ethernet required all 8 wired to be connected

100M is 4 wires

[pure sparrow]

the cables should be fine as far as i know, i used to have the same cable straight into the router and it'd get 150-200 on the old internet

i've moved my pc since too so cant plug it directly in anymore though

[tame carbon]

@pure sparrow check what your adapter status is

if it negotiated 100M (Fast ethernet) but both the card and network switch/router are gigabit capable,
Then it IS a cable fault

[pure sparrow]

I've tried changing the speed and duplex to 1gb full duplex but that didnt work, so its likely the cable(s)?

[tame carbon]

@pure sparrow your computer should just be on "Auto"

it automatically negotiates the fastest speed possible

100M means: cable fault

either its not plugged in properly on either end

or termination (the rj45 keystone itself) got loose

or there's a kink in the cable somewhere and the conductor itself is broken

either way, you got a bad cable

[lime rain]

@pure sparrow I had the issue where the card would put themselves in eco mode after a while and not come back, it might be that

[tame carbon]

This is most likely not related to that issue @lime rain

interface negotiating 100M is typical behavior with faulty cables

[lime rain]

Oh ok, I did not understood it was always like that

[peak cloak]

Nope looks all real

[waxen scroll]

thats legit. no stock pics

that appliance should be a multiplexer

takes many separate fiber signals and shoves them all into a single fiber that goes to another facility

i like how in one pic they install the card back in the lower slot and the next pic all of a sudden the card is in the upper slot

@hollow marlin is nokia just rebranded ciena? those cards look like ciena cards

[hollow marlin]

They look almost identical to some of the 6500 blades. I have never worked with Nokia equipment to say if they are or not

every single source file I open in this project I am working on, is 100% spaghet

[hollow marlin]

@waxen scroll Why do so many not know how to understand traceroute and when thing are or are not a problem

[waxen scroll]

what you mean? they dont take one during a problem?

my favorite is when nexus is aggressive at ICMP and so traces look sketch sometimes

[hollow marlin]

No, more of them seeing false positives and reporting it as an issue

[waxen scroll]

you know the dude who wrote the presentation on traceroute for nanog?

i know him 😇

[drifting sandal]

Can someone help me? I have some internet speed issues with the 2.4ghz broadcast channel on my router.

I'm paying for 100mbps and the 5ghz channel gives just that, but the 2.4ghz is giving anywhere from 1mbps to 35mbps. I tried changing the mode, channel (auto, 1, 6 , 11) but nothing works.

[hollow marlin]

I do not, but when I get a false flag trace from an escalation, I link the presentation as a response

[peak cloak]

that's 2.4 ghz for you

not very good in crowded areas

[drifting sandal]

And my ISP says they can't find anything wrong with the service.
Additionally, it seems that the overall service has some slight packet loss, though none of my speed tests can't detect it. I notice it when I play games online, there is a slight hitch.

[drifting sandal]

That bad though?? 😭

[peak cloak]

There's nothing wrong on their end

[drifting sandal]

sigh, is there anything I can do to improve my experience?

[peak cloak]

if 5ghz is fine

why not use it

[drifting sandal]

It seems to have a worst time with the packet loss issue I presume is occurring. When I play games online it totally lags me all over the place. It's not so bad on the 2.4ghz, which why i use that one for gaming, but its slower still.

[peak cloak]

for best experience

use ethernet

[drifting sandal]

Lol, that was my last resort but if that's the only solution now. Thanks.

[peak cloak]

for me, wifi would be last resort

only if I couldn't wire something

or if it's not practical to

[drifting sandal]

Lol

I've thought of wiring the connection few times but I'm was trying to avoid unnecessary costs.

That and my laptop's ethernet port is a bit damaged

but it works

[hollow marlin]

Outside my lab and work laptop, everything else is wireless, ~30 devices. Honestly wired vs wireless is a non-issue for most cases

[peak cloak]

I always had issues with wireless, like drivers and stuff. Tbh we don't have many devices, so everything that is wired are just the desktops, work laptops, and tv

wifi was always disconnecting on my moms laptop, which I think was some driver issue

I looked in event log, and it was just device reset or something like that

Really only 5 wired client devices

And like 8 wireless

[hollow marlin]

I rarely have issues other than chromecast discovery time to time but that is not related to wireless. All on a hAP ac2 which soooooo many say Mikrotik has terrible wireless

Maybe just lucky with NICs. All my wireless devices have always had intel NICs outside our phones of course

[rocky badge]

Yup....everything here is mainly wireless where it can be

its just simpler and easier tbh

2 people are home right now and there's 18 wireless clients

The only stuff that can be wireless that isn't is the main Shield TV and my laptop when its docked

I have 28 wired clients tho....

[waxen scroll]

sorry @hollow marlin but for residential wired is king

too many nearby homes with WAP at 100% across all channels

[rocky badge]

Wireless isn't that bad here tbh https://i.ryois.me/XFfSgLUazi.png

My stuff is using 1, 6, 11 on 2.4 and stuff that isn't using 1, 6, 11 near by are dashcam/non permanent APs

Then for 5GHz DFS 😉 none of my neighbors are on those channels

[waxen scroll]

i love dfs

hopefully the consumer stuff stays away from it

you know it wont though

[rocky badge]

[waxen scroll]

thats how comcast can claim FASTEST WIFI, etc

IPv6 working

I hate how cloud providers do IPv6

[peak cloak]

familiar town name lol

suprised to see that

[peak cloak]

are you doing a tunnel to vps for v6?

[rocky badge]

Remote VPN for always on

[peak cloak]

ah

tunnelbroker still?

[rocky badge]

nope

[peak cloak]

oh

then how?

[rocky badge]

DO IPv6

[peak cloak]

ah

how big of a subnet do you get?

[rocky badge]

16 IPv6 addresses...pretty common with most VPSes

Which I hate

but oh well

[peak cloak]

yeah, it makes sense tho

[rocky badge]

@clear igloo I wish I could configure Netflix and such to not go through the VPN

but Netflix has so many IP ranges

[burnt epoch]

Hey does anyone here use Pulseway? If so, I'm in need of help [@ or reply so I can see the message]

[thorny vector]

I've dabbled with it, although its not my prefered solution. What's up?

[peak cloak]

@burnt epoch ^

[burnt epoch]

I'm trying to setup Wake On Wan and it doesn't be seem to be working

[thorny vector]

Have you confirmed wake on lan works?

[burnt epoch]

I believe so, I'll double check

I forwarded UDP port 9 to 9

Should it be TCP/UDP instead?

[thorny vector]

I'm also curious as to why you want to wake on wan. The much cleaner, and more secure solution is to VPN in, then do a regular wake on lan

No, it'd be udp. Residential IP address?

[burnt epoch]

I apologize, how would I know?

[thorny vector]

Are you getting a buisness plan for your internet, or a consumer? Your ISP may be blocking non-standard ports for security reasons

[burnt epoch]

Ohh. Consumer not business

Also for some reason this time WOL doesn't seem to be working. It said the command was sent rather than giving me an error but I will have to diagnose that

[thorny vector]

Check their policy on ports, see if they're blocking anything. And again, I'd still recommend the VPN solution.

[peak cloak]

+1 on the VPN

[burnt epoch]

Thank you @thorny vector

[peak cloak]

that's what I do

[thorny vector]

No worries

[clear igloo]

can't do domain level filtering?

[rocky badge]

Idk

[clear igloo]

You need to forward to the broadcast address for your network but I highly advise against this and as others have said too a VPN is a better solution

[peak cloak]

it may be some pulseway thing

idk

[clear igloo]

oh, completely missed the pulseway part of it

[peak cloak]

isn't WOL a L2 thing, not IP?

[burnt epoch]

It sends a Magic Packet encapsulated in a frame

So in a way, yes

[peak cloak]

yes ik that

[rocky badge]

it uses the broadcast address

[burnt epoch]

Yes

Though for some reason it's not even working right now

[rocky badge]

You'd need something to tunnel l2

if you're doing it over a VPN

[peak cloak]

but yeah, you can't do WOL over the internet, without some sort of L2 tunnel/encapsulation

right?

[burnt epoch]

WOL that is

[burnt epoch]

Apparently Pulseway states that with their service you can with Port Forwarding. How exactly I have no idea

[rocky badge]

https://i.ryois.me/HOL3hB4SKY.png

[burnt epoch]

I have to diagnose that first

[peak cloak]

yeah

[peak cloak]

without any server?

on the L2 domain

[burnt epoch]

WOL through Pulseway worked like a couple of months ago but for some reason it's not now

[rocky badge]

Because its connected through the cloud

[peak cloak]

hmm

[burnt epoch]

Likely, Pulseway requires an account

[rocky badge]

Idk what pulseway does for WOL

[burnt epoch]

Yo we need Jake LOL

Oh hold up

[rocky badge]

@clear igloo What do you think of mDNS/Bonjour on a large scale enterprise network

[tame carbon]

zeroconf discovery

[hollow marlin]

Not necessarily, thats direct-broadcast, if your router allows it you can do it via L3

[rocky badge]

nice

[nimble sable]

so idk if this is the right place to ask this but...late last night my ISP was having issues. In particular it seemed most of the issues was around DNS, oddly it wasn't just folks using the ISP default server, even those who switched to say 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 were havign a tough time (although reportedly it did help a bit). However, if you ran your OWN recursive DNS server, like I ended up doing, it immediately solved any issues i was having.

so, wtf happened? i kind of know the basics of DNS, but don't quite understand the details of how DNS and ISP traffic works but how could going from the usual dns forwarder to public server to using your own local recursive server improve things? I initially assumed maybe there was some issues around DNS traffic in particular, that makes some amount of sense, but why the improvement when i stopped forwarding requestS?

[peak cloak]

Kinda would need more specific

Like

Dns packet loss?

[nimble sable]

no idea, im just trying to see if just these facts can tell me anything. But i assume dns packet loss in some way, cuz dns would fail constantly

alls i know is everyone had DNS problems including me

until i switched, then i had no issues and everyone continued with their problems

[peak cloak]

Could just be routes

Some sort of routing to cloudflare could have gotten messed up

Idk

[nimble sable]

ooh that makes sense

most ppl would just be trynig cloudflare and google

and maybe my Isp just caches cloudflare or smthg

but is there anything fundamentally differnet about the DNS traffic coming out of a forwarded vs a recursive resolver?

[peak cloak]

well kinda

basically all a forwarder does is forward to a specified server(s)

the other type, basically goes directly to the internet root nameservers and looks everything up

which is slower

so like

instead of just going to cloudflare and cloudflare most probobly already have cached it

[nimble sable]

ok but if i run like a packet inspector or smthg, would i be able to tell which one is happening? unless i knew all the usual public dns servers and just saw where the packett was headed

[peak cloak]

your dns server, lets say it's abc.xyz, it will need to go to the root dns servers (it will probobly already have it cached tho), lookup the nameserver for .xyz, then send a request to that nameserver and ask for abc.xyz

[peak cloak]

you know what you are using

don't need a packet inspector for that

[nimble sable]

ok but what if my ISP wanted to know...could they know?

[peak cloak]

know what?

see the requests?

yeah ofc

unless you are doing DNS over TLS or HTTPS

[nimble sable]

ooh ok \

[hollow marlin]

Were you getting packet loss to 1.1.1.1/8.8.8.8 via just pinging them?

[nimble sable]

nope

[hollow marlin]

Could be many things, IPS, improper QoS along that path, someone put an ACL on the wrong interface or included the wrong traffic. In any case I do not think you would be able to determine it from your end

[proud coral]

Hey guys, I'm sharing home internet with my neighbor. I would like to have a private network, something like a VLAN where I have my OWN network plus internet access from the neighbor. What hardware do I need?

what you want is a seperate subnet

not necessarily a vlan

vlans are one to achieve this, but not the only way

any actual router will do, ER-X from Ubiquitu would be descent, HEX from Mikrotik as well

you don't really need vlans

just have 2 subnets

beware however of the legal complications of this tho

with sharing internet

[waxen scroll]

i'd like them to shut down pings for 60 seconds for LOLs and see what happens

[hollow marlin]

If they do Im shutting my phone off for a few hours

[waxen scroll]

how many load balancers, PBRs, etc do you think ping those every second

the last PBR I made queried 3 root DNS servers for their own names

needed multiple to fail before moving routing

[tawny bluff]

I hate ebay xD

Ive been trying to auction off 7 servers in one listing

[little schooner]

any luck with that?

[tacit mantle]

any clue why the internet link from my laptop to pc is so slow

i dont know what i did last time but somehow it will always get its speed back after a while but its whenever i connect it, its so bad

did i connect something wrong? i copied the exact steps on google and i even did a network reset on my router and both laptop and pc

its driving me nuts and i need some help with it

telling me to use ethernet is not an option so if you know a possible solution please i'd like to know

the download shouldnt be this bad

[latent jacinth]

how far are you

from the router

[tacit mantle]

not too far

this issue only started to happen when i got a different laptop which was yesterday

otherwise it was fine with my l440 thinkpad

[latent jacinth]

got to your network properties on you computer and set speed and duplex to 100mbsfull

[tacit mantle]

i set it to 1gbps

[latent jacinth]

do you have anything blocking the path to your router

[peak cloak]

Wdym laptop to pc?

A network bridge?

[tacit mantle]

@peak cloak yes

it used to be fast when i was using adifferent laptop

my laptops task manager says the ip ends with 101 and my pc is 104?

the speedtest before i did a network bridge shows that the connection is good with the router

100mbps download and upload

[peak cloak]

Wireless bridge?

Or ethernet

[tacit mantle]

ethernet

@peak cloak

[peak cloak]

Hmm

Idk never messed with windows bridge

@tacit mantle my advice, get a switch

Will save you pain

[tacit mantle]

switch?

[peak cloak]

They are like 20 bucks

[tacit mantle]

i dont mind connecting i just need it to be constant

[peak cloak]

You plug one Jack into a cable from your router and the rest can be used for the desktop, laptop, etc

[tacit mantle]

there is an AC receiving the internet and there is a switch for the tv n xbox

[peak cloak]

Much better than windows bridge

[tacit mantle]

but my setup is far from that

[peak cloak]

You said you were etherneted?

[tacit mantle]

my laptop is connected to the internet which is connected from the access point and the access point is getting internet through an ethernet cable

when i use the network bridge on my laptop i will connect an ethernet cable from the laptop to pc

[peak cloak]

You get a better connection using the wifi ap?

[tacit mantle]

my pc doesnt have a dongle to connect to the internet

[peak cloak]

Ohh

[tacit mantle]

thats why im doing all that

[peak cloak]

So laptop is providing internet to pc

[tacit mantle]

but i have a spare laptop wifi card

[peak cloak]

Gotcha

[tacit mantle]

i need a m.2 converter but my mobo has 1 m.2 slot

thats what my laptop is getting when not network bridging

[wintry vault]

why is my internet 30kb/s?

it's supposed to be 1mb/s

[tacit mantle]

restart the router maybe

[wintry vault]

that has never worked

it's been 30kb/s since i got this internet

i got it in 2015

[tacit mantle]

now thats when its connected to a network bridge

[round violet]

is it copper?

[tacit mantle]

wait so nobody knows why this is happening?

[peak cloak]

Windows

Probably

[tacit mantle]

this is just by sharing internet from the laptop with a ethernet cable but its not very stable

[peak cloak]

Windows bridging is not very good

[tacit mantle]

its been very stable for me for the past 6months

[peak cloak]

Someone here maybe knows specifics and how to tune

But I don't

[tacit mantle]

ok

[round violet]

i never had good luck with windows bridging

[thick minnow]

for the past month my download speed has been incredibly slow, even with ethernet. i used to manage up to 320 mbp/s (without ethernet) and 500+ mbp/s (with ethernet). but when i download shit (mostly games) it now caps between 24-64 mbp/s. why?

ok wtf

i'm getting 430 mbp/s download speed on my phone, but on my PC (with ethernet) it's only 60 mbp/s?

[half holly]

What is your Ethernet cable rated for?

Or is it the same cable as before

And are you getting these speeds from speed test or something?

[thick minnow]

yeah i'm getting them from speed test

i'm not sure what my ethernet cable is rated for but i can ask my parents

[half holly]

Would you be able to check the cable by yourself?

It should be printed on the side of the cable

Like cat5 or cat5e or cat6 etc.

[thick minnow]

either cat5e or cat6

don't know for sure

[half holly]

In that case it's probably either your router or modem or your ISP just being stupid

Or some combination of them all
