Yo. I use to stream alot on twitch, then i took a break. Today, I tried to stream and it was ok on my side but the stream was laggin a whole bunch on twitch. I chek my internet and my upload speed was 2.2mbps. Its weird because my download speed was 400+mbps. I have an eternet cable plug in with a cat6 cable. I'm wondering if its a cable problem, since I did not change anything since my last stream. I'm just wondering if what are the other possibilities and if someone could help me understanding. Could this simply be internal? Maybe OBS is acting up again? Thx 🙂 (im I even in the right place?)

high download doesnt always mean high upload, something couldve been using ur upload bandwidth

Sorry for bringing this up like 2 days later, but if I use nginx to tunnel, will I need the nginx client on computers on which I need to connect to the sftp server

ngrok* sorry

ah, so i just need to do the tunnel thing and i can connect to sftp server over internet? aight

thanks

Anyone have experience with BV Security brand switches?

hey anyone might know why i can't access my web based utility for my router?

Wrong IP?

nope i read the router manual it's definitely the correct one

any devices in between?

but when i used the isp's login info i logged into it

but it wasn't like the routers settings, it was something else

router is connected straight to the modem, and there are two devices connected to the router

you are trying to access router?

it's your own router right

yeah

windows computer?

show output in cmd of ipconfig /all

find what default gateway is

that should be router IP

yup, it's the exact one i used

what's the error

oh so it works

but the login doesn't

yeah

what login are you trying to use?

default?

username: no username
password: admin

the one listed in the router manual

nowadays they have it printed on a sticker on the router often

yeah, thing is it's a pretty old router

try a factory reset?

already did

it just worked

i just pressed the reset button like 5 times

wait now it doesn't work anymore

This is somewhat Quest 2 specific (have already talked in VR a fair amount the last 2 days), but definitely networking centric. I wrote a post on the forums to flesh it out more, any advice would be very welcome. Feel free to @ me here.
https://linustechtips.com/topic/1401782-time-to-end-the-shame-that-is-renting-from-comcast/

Looking to kill 2 birds with one stone by ditching renting from Comcast, and solving my AirLink issues.

For obvious reasons i am a bit biased, but I would genuinely say comcast is one of the few ISPs where you'll actually probably be getting your money's worth renting the gateway

you'll be paying at least a couple hundred bucks to get something with equivalent hardware and features so the rental may be a better deal by the time you have to replace your outdated COAM gateway in a year or two

I did consider that to some extent, though I thought I could get closer to 4 years out of it.

especially with the new one https://www.theverge.com/2022/1/3/22856018/comcast-xfi-advanced-gateway-wi-fi-6e-zigbee-matter-6ghz-home-internet

No real need to stay up with the latest features.

That's what I have right now.

this is the newest one with wifi 6e

Ah, so same design, but 6e and other features.

I have that form factor (over the standard black towers they had)

i dont think you can get your own 6e router for under like $500 but yeah

Yeah, super expensive right now.

right. could be worth sticking with it if you upgrade to the xb8 once it's available

My biggest gripe is the lack of control I cannot decide which devices connect via 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz, I can't change channel frequency, nothing.

All locked when I visit 10.0.0.1, and when I follow the link to my backend on their site, it's locked there too.

well, to be fair, 95% of the time it's better to have both bands on one SSID and let devices auto roam

but yeah the big reason to forego comcast owned hardware is customization

Yep, no issues here, other than the Quest 2 issues.

It really is sounding like I just need to buy a dedicated router and call it a day.

the funny part is.. i actually was just on the phone with comcast not 15 minutes ago, also upgrading from 100 down to 400 down

What kind of pricing did you land, and internet only?

i have a COAM dpc3008 which theoretically does 340mbps so i need an upgrade anyway, but it's also already old and worn out

i got $70/month in my region

but that's with a 2 year contract because i'm not planning to move, and there are no other ISPs in my neighborhood

Same scenario here

i would really just say to get the cheapest 1gbps docsis 3.0 or ideally 3.1 modem you can find

for headroom/futureproofing

I currently have a $79 plan with 100 down, and 30 channels (we don't use the TV at all due to streaming, just part of the package), but it comes out to $130 after $8 box fee, $14 modem / router free, and a $21 "TV broadcast" fee.

I want to drop the TV entirely and go up to 400

if you are interested, there's a custom "flex" streaming box that is free for internet-only customers (i.e. no $8 box fee) that gets you some tier of the streaming service

i think its the $5 nbcu tier

but yeah you may be able to cancel the tv and get 400 down for $70 ish

just ask nicely and they'll likely be able to bump you up

wifi wise... i actually just also upgraded my home wifi to use unifi gear and it's been great but they're having stock trouble like everyone else

does anybody have any ideas why can't i get max speed internet on my pc? i've 1gbps internet, on my main pc it goes up to like 680mbps at best while on a 2nd pc & a laptop, the speeds are above 950 mbps. even 5g wifi is pulling like 750 mpbs on my s21ultra lol... tried resetting the network driver, reinstalling it, 3 different cat5e cables (they work very well for the laptop & other pc), pc ain't got no malware or anything either. checked bios settings to no avail

What kind of network hardware does your motherboard have?

I am not quite sure, as it is my friends PC, Ill check this and get back to you as soon as I have the info, thank you for responding

Oddly, because it uses Android and is always on...it feels like this camera has a faster "boot" time than my normal point and shoot

network project wip :3

looking good

thank u. gotta cable manage and add a ups + nas to it

now if my isp starts rolling out 2.5g fiber speeds which they plan to, i'll be all set.

better than my janky setup

no patch panels, no ups, no NAS

storage situation is a mess

why is the server behind a crapload of patch cables

there's a server?

My networking is at the top and servers in the middle lol

where's the server

are u talking about the things on the bottom?

that's just an ONT and some ISP UPS for the ONT only

Still having something behind patch cables isn't nice imo

My messy rack right now HAHA I just grabbed whatever cables I had that worked. Need to order to length cables.

Not having anything obstructed by patch cables is nice

Kinda like this too

it's a jungle out there

Wish I got 12 1ft and 12 6inch for this job

instead of 24 1ft

my patch cables aren't obstructed by anything. the thing behind the patch cable is the router

Server

dats a router

it's a rb5009

i don't have a nas server yet but I'm custom building one soon

How does one find jobs like those

connections lol

Yeah..

Don't have really that much

connections gud

My shed only gets around 500 to 600 the computer has a cheapy gigabit card but I'm going to run shielded cable to it as it's 30 metres long and is tied onto a power cable 💀

Um... From building to building it is recommended to use fiber. Using electrical cables can cause problems and break hardware.

It is related to there possible being a voltage difference between buildings.

Also, lightning will cause problems with electrical cables that are ran outside...

Wireguard people, I feel like I'm doing something wrong

I have all my port forwarding set up and my wireguard server is running, but I can't get any traffic across it

bummer

iptables and sysctl IPv4 forwarding?

Or correct WG subnet/allowed networks range

Although I can’t really help rn

using pfsense but that should be the similar

all good lol

i think my rack is more messy

only 1 switch in use

one cisco have dead psu , second cisco needs factory reset but i don't have cable

aight can anyone help me with my ongoing issue with port forwarding i got a mikrotik recently so pretty noob in that shit and it wasnt working a couple of weeks prior

why ipv6 not working?

i need it for parsec

i enabled the package and rebooted still doesnt work

so it needs configuration

alright what do i do

never did ipv6 on mtik, but the steps on anything are, setup dhcp6-pd, then setup RA

let me look it up rq

so youre saying to install any package you go through those steps or smth?

well the v6 package only enables v6 functionality, still need to configure it

Josip Medved

found this https://www.medo64.com/2018/03/setting-ipv6-on-mikrotik/

on the second step, set interface to whatever wan interface is

aight lmc

oof ive never used the terminal before mildpanic

what does this do @peak cloak

is it some sorta cd command looks liek it

it says it

"First I like to disable default neighbor discovery interface. Blasting IPv6 router advertisements on all intefaces is not necessarily a good idea:"

nd means neighbor discovery

ahhh

you can also just interpret the cli commands and do it gui

it's the same heirachy

ohh ic

@peak cloak how do you paste things into terminal

CTRL SHIFT V?

nope

just goes into this shortcut mode

well that's when you are sshed into it

try just right clicking?

nope

idk, never really use the webfig terminal

I always either ssh in, winbox, or webfig ui

I see a typo

also

ye i got it

you need to be in /ipv6 dhcp-client

yep that was it

print to see if you get a prefix?

nothing

likely firewall rule

apparently need to add this rule

  comment="Accept DHCPv6 client prefix delegation"  \ 
  dst-port=546 protocol=udp src-address=fe80::/10```

oh wait i think it might be wrong to use ether1

did a speedtest

what's wan

what's modem connected to

but I think you may not have a firewall rn

uhhh it just comes from the wall into the router

aight

yeah but like into what port of router

ether1 right..

in the terminal type /ipv6 export and paste the output

# software id = E18J-CNSV
#
# model = RBD52G-5HacD2HnD
# serial number = E5780FDD3597
/ipv6 dhcp-client
add add-default-route=yes interface=ether1 pool-name=general-pool6 request=prefix```

i should set it to ether2

aight

still doesnt print so ima do that firewall thing

You're missing one of the settings. Enter ipv6 settings set accept-router-advertisements=yes. Without it ROS will drop router-advertisements (RA) which is a requirement for obtaining an address and DHCPv6
