I don't think the ethernet adapter is going to change how the public side works. I'm thinking that most of the difference on what people are getting is probably going to be where they hit down links - but I've done zero looking into starlink as I live in pretty populated areas and hoping to...

Can you make us a diagram of how your devices are physically connected?

Yep! I was thinking at the same time that if you're using a newer windows then you might be able to use windows hello, but I don't know if anything but windows hello for business works. No idea about a personal version and it required a TPM

Thanks for the write up! I'll keep following this. I think the CGNAT issue isn't going to go away unless they switch to IPV6.

Use MFA/2FA, not with your phone. That's the only way so far. Also try better AV Kaspersky has a free version https://usa.kaspersky.com/free-antivirus There are of course others but I've used their older free and their enterprise and I like it.

That's the second part of one of the huge reasons I want to stay away from Comcast. I've got no data caps. Even with my frustrated issues, I can still push push 20GB to and from work in a few mintues. If I was at full speed, busy and not paying attention, I could easily hit that cap. Second...

You should be able to connect to other things, even if the AT&T router is doing DHCP, as long as the clients didn't lose connection. Wireless is the same but it's so easy for those devices to drop and reconnect. So If your AT&T box is connected to a switch and everything else is on that...

I've not done too much with direct settings like this, mostly setting the channel width, and power, but the last was for vastly different situations. If you you're saying: ISP <wireless> 6.5MBps ISP < wired > Edmax <wireless> 10.5 MBs ISP < wireless > Edmax <wireless > 2.5 Well your problem...

Thanks for the reply and the other stuff, I really do appreciate it. I live near Chicago so we're not slouching on the food lol. Around where I live and also where I work, it's not green field so Comcast isn't thinking of residential fiber, we have their business fiber though. No idea why one...

May I ask where in the world you are and maybe the ISP just so I can look and be jealous? I have 1Gbps but hot darn! First let me say that in my limited work, Fiber is not like ethernet. My Fiber is different that what I'm use to. It's an LC connector but single, I'm use to dual. Also the...

Okay, seeing your other post. If you can wire things, why not go that route? Even if you aren't using any kind of advanced setup I'd go that route ISP <-->Edmax | |<--> Repeater (if needed) Connect a lan port of the router to a lan port of the Edmax/Repeater, turn off DHCP on those last...

Seems like maybe your wireless "backhaul" is working fine but maybe the wireless on your phone isn't? The TP link and the repeater seem to be close to each other and the way it's drawn they both connect directly back to the ISP modem. Is there a need for the TP link one?

Sorry I didn't get notices for these updates like SamirD said it all counts. Think of it like sound, say you're in the gym, and they are playing music but you've got headphones on listening to your own music. You can still hear theirs but what's on your headphones drowns them out may not hear...

I guess I used too many words.

Your question makes me thing you aren't understand what bitlocker does and that's why I tried to explain it. Wait! I wrote out all the stuff so I'm going to leave it but I think you're asking what do the different icon mean? Here is a blog with a table and links with more info...

I'm looking at this thread and seeing terms like locked and unlocked and I think there may be some confusion. Bit locker encrypts files at rest, as they are stored on the disk. Once they are encrypted with bit locker, that's it. I mentioned "at rest" because this concept is key. While your...

I've yet to try clearpass and I think my boss has been sold on their... (Forget what it's call, segmented network?) stuff so we might get it, but I didn't mention it because OP seems to want to stay off the cloud. I also don't think we need (Segmented network?) and the only thing I wanted clear...

For the Acces points, look into the Aruba Instant Access Points. I love them. We had Cisco before with no controller. We did setup some software to push and backup configs but it was a pain. Looking into the controller and licensing was not something we wanted to do. Got an email to go to a...

I've not had any dealings with powerline adapters. They seemed cool when they first introduced but there were all kinds of gotchas. Such as being on different circuits and so on. I know no one wants to spend money but what about going wireless and using a repeater if you need to?

I mean traffic competing with yourself. I'm a little confused on your network but it seems that you have a modem/router from your ISP then an Edmax that connect to it via wifi but then wireless connects to other APs in a mesh? Then you have clients on various points on that Edmax mesh. What I...

UPDATE: Okay the CES site still isn't working as far as I can tell but my renewals are going through so... don't care as much. What did I do? The one thing we tell everyone to do and they think we're giving them the business. I restarted the CA. Now to my credit I thought I restarted the...

Sorry I thought I replied to this. I haven't closely looked into this as my use was server based so you setup and kind of just let it rip. It was over 24TB so it was going to take time anyway. I'm thinking maybe this is due to caching?

This is where it becomes Dev ops or more of a programming question for an older IT person like me. Looking at this page: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/usage/UsageStatsManager It says "Provides access to device usage history and statistics." To be honest I didn't...

Don't feel too badly, when I was looking at it I was confused and then I saw the units. Still I wish I had more of an answer.

Are you testing form the main WiFi or from the repated one? If so, you might be creating your own traffic to compete with yourself. There is a lot to factor in with wireless and repeated networks add on to it.

We're you looking at the units? They're in KBs, not MBs. Also I don't know where people are and what relative connections are like.

You most likely will have to do this over multiple connections. If you are using speetest.net and not single.speedtest.net, you're already testing with multiple connections. I have nothing off the top of my head that concrete but... You can find various Linux distributions. Windows ISOs...

A few things: The USB3.0 spec, according to this page. Says it's throughput is 4 Gbps accounting for overhead and that real world is 3.2Gbps should be possible. So theoretically it should be possible. This device would need to be in a USB3 port to achieve that though. The second thing is...

We use the HP/Aruba line where I am and I like them pretty well. You can admin by https, or SSL/Telnet/Serial. They also have a terminal command "menu" which gives you a menu over a terminal. I don't have any specific recommendations because I don't know what's available. I need one with 4...

I got a report from Tinley that it was down. Thank goodness none of my business accounts were effected. Got a report that it's down again today. *hugs home fiber*

That's pretty awesome. I wish MS would fix their network stack in other ways though! (rant: I've got a 12ms ping for a 1Gbps connection, kills it to about 10% of it's potential, a 2ms ping kills it by 50%!) I've not looked into SMB differences except security wise. I wonder if it's supported...

I'm referring to the formats that EFI can boot from.

I think the Synology stuff uses file systems you can recover on other things BUT, that's neither here nor there. You're probably not going to find Opensource solutions that use NTFS and if so, not right out the box. The problem is licensing. I think Microsoft never opened NTFS, I wish they did...

Yeah, I think it could be faster. I believe I've seen over 300Mbps file transfers but I wasn't being scientific about it, and this current session has been on for weeks and been hibernated. All of that will effect performance in windows over time. Also people may not confuse it like you said...

No. In this case, by data rate I mean what the service has deemed the theoretical maximum of the connection to be. For throughput I mean what I can actually achieve. For example, right now I've got a laptop in front of me with an AC connection and I'm using windows 10. If I look at the...

Yes, AX will be faster than AC, I think I've done faster than that on AC but I could be thinking I've just seen connection rate and not throughput. AX, will of course include verything of AC and before but also include the 6Ghz band which would allow for more bandwidth. Beyond that, the 6Ghz...

Sorry, I meant to reply yesterday. I haven't actually bough CAT5 or 6 from monoprice, however I would consider them when purchasing. It's one of those things that are bought enough by people in the know so, their reviews should be fairly on the spot. The only thing I did see was there was some...

No worries, good luck! Plext.tv should work without the paid stuff, I'm using it and I don't have a pass.

Slike SamriD's reply, I'd go for extenders, rather than cables. Do note that you're probably not going to use Cat5e but rather Cat6 and above. They are also not network devices so you're not going to be able to plug them into switches etc. Other than that, the few I've used have been fine...

Yeah, looks like the router is giving the router knows where to send traffic, I had no idea your vpn network was in the same range is the local! I'm pretty sure you're going to be using routed mode with open VPN and not bridged. You won't have to add the routes. The local admin page of the...
