I'm looking at some #ubiquiti gear and it's so tempting...
Is it worth it to buy into the UniFi ecosystem?Currently a TP-Link customer and it's... Honestly neither impressive nor good. But I suppose it works, sort of?
I like my Cisco AP way more than these Deco mesh systems though.

Anyone here have experience with any GL.inet products? How is the experience supporting/using something like the Beryl travel router as a home wireless router? Is the custom OpenWRT OS worth using or is it better to flash stock OpenWRT on it?

whelp aio cooler #repair was a bust. pivoted and got nas set up and network gear firmware upgraded to get ready for fiber install in a couple months. still need to pick out a #homenetwork access point. probably some kinda #mikrotik dingus

Well, got a lot done today. My home network is all running at 2.5Gbps now, thanks to Unifi. The ISP line is still 1Gbps up and down. I might upgrade it, but not for a while. I also knocked a bunch of other things off my backlog ✅. Productive Saturday! #HomeNetworking #Unifi #TechUpgrade

I am just curious for all you folks that run home computer labs. How do y'all handle DNS? I use dnsmasq because it is pretty powerful and does dynamic DNS automagically.

It's still a *little* jank, but I assure you it's much cleaner and professional-looking than before. All it took was some rack rails, 3D-printing, and a little ingenuity. 😁

Remember when buying a router felt like deciphering a secret code? All those strings of letters like 802.11ac were just confusing. I am glad the industry finally switched to simple numbers. If you want WiFi versions explained for your home, it helps to know which standard actually matters. Your connection is only as fast as its weakest link.

So, gestern noch den OPNsense Fehler wegbekommen, dass keine Pakete akzeptiert wurden übers WAN Interface. Notiz an mich: Nicht zwei Stunden debuggen, sondern einfach mal neustarten.
Die Lösung ist trotzdem kacke so. Der mPCIe Intel I220 Adapter, den ich beim NUC nutzen wollte anstatt der WiFi-Karte, funktioniert nicht, weil der Slot da wohl nur WiFi akzeptiert.
Dh. ich hab jetzt RealTek internal NIC für LAN und USB RealTek NIC für WAN, was so die bescheuertste Kombi ist für OPNsense...
Router-on-a-Stick will ich nicht machen, ich hätte das schon gerne physisch separiert.
Irgendjemand eine Idee für nen:
- MiniPC / dedicated FW Kram
- der Suricata schafft im IPS mode
- bei Peak 1G WAN (8C/8GB RAM wahrscheinlich), LAN reicht 2.5G
- Bonuspunkte für SATA SSD Port, wenig Leistungsaufnahme (<=15W) und bezahlbar ~200-300€
❓
Alternativen bisher:
- Komische Chinarechner mit zweifelhafter Firmwareunterstütztung und keine Ahnung was da an Power ausreicht (N350?)
- Lenovo m720q (220€) mit PCIe Riser (20€) und Intel PCIe NIC (55€) (295€ total)

Ever find yourself staring at a buffering wheel despite paying for high speed internet? Often the issue is your router placement or interference. You can usually fix slow WiFi by moving your router or switching to the 5GHz band. Check out these tips: https://gwizit.com/go/f7tUsOR This post was written by a human but with AI assistance.

Bought a new router (GLi Net Flint 2) which broke my headless Pi SSH connection. Took me a while to realise the Pi doesn't support WPA3. Still working on it... Last night I had to work on the TV as the new router also broke the wifi remote control (IR receiver is broken) connection... Found out that using a keyboard with an Android TV is very unintuitive (it's a Sony Bravia).
Ah... networking. Every time I learn a little bit more!
