Solved this issue by just replacing the router in the basement with a newer (AC 1900) router. Seems like both the 2.4 & 5 GHz WiFi bands are having little trouble punching through the reinforced concrete between the basement and apartment, so all is good :)

I guess I can answer my own question there already: From: https://superuser.com/questions/1294567/how-can-ap-work-without-having-ip-address-assigned This then means that the single IP from the ISP would end up at the router after the Modem -> RE1 -> RE2 -> Router route. Only compromise is...

Yeah, I'd have a much newer router (Asus RT-AC68U) acting as the router in this configuration. The two REs would literally just work as a bridge to get the signal to the router in the apartment . You mentioned the single IP address, and that's one thing I'm not entirely clear about when I use...

There's coax everywhere, but tragically it doesn't run to the basement as it goes to the plain ol' antenna on top of the building. Only easy to way to do anything cable-based is to run Cat-6 through the stairwell, which would have to be discussed with the landlord. Doable, but adds fuss that...

With the installation a requirement to run fiber into apartments was to have a dedicated path prepared, which there wasn't. I think the phone wires also come in that way, but this place was built originally for pole-based wiring, so from the basement it first goes to the top of the building...

Since the goal is just to get a kind of wireless backhaul, I figured that it might be sufficient. There's basically the (concrete, rebar) floor and some (load bearing?) walls between the fiber modem in the basement and the apartment. It's probably not more than 5-10 meters when drawing a...

Due to circumstances and a rushed fiber internet installation at my (rented) apartment, the freshly installed fiber modem ended up in the basement, with a highly inconvenient way to route Cat-6 between the ground floor apartment and the fiber modem (lots of drilling & running cable through...

Looking at the automotive market, multiple sources are projecting an easing of the supply there second half 2022. This includes ICs, but also other components like capacitors and other small stuff. Many manufacturers of cars and other products have been hoarding as much supply as they could...

After reading the thread so far I feel glad that I went for an AIO-cooled MSI 980 Ti, quality PSU (Seasonic 660p), in a case with plenty of airflow. I do have a hot air rework station, but swapping MOSFETs in those annoying SMD packages is not my idea of 'fun' :) Also RIP for the 980 Ti that...

Got the Seasonic 660p running since 2015 in the same 6700K rig I built it into originally with zero issues. Pretty sure I have never replaced a PSU, only repurposed them. When PSUs often come with warranties ranging from 8-12 years, that tends to be enough time for it to firmly obsolete the...

Those would be the SMART values reported by the SSD's firmware, so one might assume that they're somewhat close to being truthful. Though we all know how reliable SMART is in general, especially when it comes to reporting imminent disaster :)

Did a bit of a tour around the world, working at a job in Germany, and did job interviews around the world, even visiting the US a few times, too. Currently slacking off as a freelancer :)

I'll have to brush up on my knowledge, I notice. Guess I do have a few things to catch up on after being away so long :) I figured RPis aren't great for F@H, since last I remembered GPUs were the cat's pajamas, and Cortex-A CPUs aren't exactly known for being performance houses.

I'm doing a lot of software development on RPi boards and kin due to a project I'm running (NymphCast), so if those are efficient platforms, I could maybe run those as DC rigs when they're not being used for testing or compiling. That'd be interesting :)

Hello, Just wanted to drop a quick message that even though I have been AWOL/MIA for a while, I'm currently back to lurking on [H]. Haven't folded in a while (8+ years...) mostly on account of the astronomical electricity prices here in Germany (did some moving). If I ever move to a country...
