    Wtb:7700k and low profile gpu

    If you don't mind posting the HP model number--many times HP was very conservative with what the system could actually be upgraded to since they never tested everything available. I was able to stuff 256GB for RDIMMs in my z420 that was supposed to max out at 32GB of ECC UDIMMs. Searching for...

    Asus's Aimesh is supposed to be pretty good too. And you can use powerline/moca adapters instead of the cable to effectively have a similar setup.

    Very poor performance inside Comcast backbone - Can I route around that?

    Or let us know the ip's and we can post our pathpings or trace routes or just pings. That's a quick way to figure out if it's an isp issue or something else. There's a free online ping program I used once for the same thing--diagnosing an ISP--let me see if I can find it. Found it...

    Very poor performance inside Comcast backbone - Can I route around that?

    In my experience, it all depends on how good the NOC is. I've usually found issues before they have and I've seen issues take years to get resolved.

    Very poor performance inside Comcast backbone - Can I route around that?

    I don't doubt it, but it's amazing how many different paths various IPs take and you'll probably luck out with an IP that's not suffering from the same problem as the one you currently have. Yep, that's L3 and pretty much impossible. Every ISP has their ups and downs in my experience, and all...

    Moca always deserves a good mention--great way to repurpose cable wire that's already in the walls.

    One word--powerline adapters. Plus an access point (or old router used as an access point). Plug one of the powerlines where you want it and connect the access point to it, plug the other one near an ethernet plug that goes to your router. Power everything on and done.

    Got Fiber, ONT Stick Options?

    Wow, with this level of complexity, I'd be trying the 'DMZ mode' first and see if it causes any use case issues versus going down this rabbit hole...

    Very poor performance inside Comcast backbone - Can I route around that?

    Easiest way to get around this problem is to change the mac address on the wan side of your router to something else and then reboot everything to get a new public IP address that hopefully won't have the issue. In my experience unless you can get to network operations to tell them the problem...

    Need a new router, maybe an access point too

    So based on what I'm hearing, you could easily get a used enterprise router and then some older Ruckus access points and have far more stability and usability than you ever thought possible for under $200. And for the 'wired' backhaul between access points, powerline adapters are great--just...

    I know I have a d-link nas I got a while back just to rescue it from the trash. I haven't set it up or messed with it yet, so if you PM me to remind me what model numbers you're looking for I can check if it will work for you. (y)
