Yeah no UDM here just edgerouter+edgeswitch and unifi stuff with the clod key gen2+ The UDM didn't have PoE ports so i'd have to get the unifi poe switch anyway, just seemed dumb at that point

It's my fiber on a public backbone with choice of a half dozen ISPs for internet transit all at gig/gig speeds. I'm not locked into any particular ISP so if i want to step up to actually push p95 traffic levels of commercial rates i can switch billing up to that easily with my pick of providers, all to my house. it's not like centurylink or nothing

H110Hawk posted:I'm really jealous. A coworker was talking about trying to get fiber to his house in the Middle of Nowhere but it's ATT poles and they give 0 fucks. Not "how much" but "how bout you gently caress off." Pasadena has muni fiber but will not hookup homes due to monopoly agreements with the various incumbents. My town is similar but without the muni fiber ring - it's frontier, spectrum, or nothing. I can see a Zayo manhole from my house. the thing is i am absolutely in the middle of nowhere, relatively speaking (Port Orchard, WA, population 14,200, between gig harbor and bremerton, on the peninsula west of the puget sound... it's not like a suburb of Denver like i just moved from where it was dense AF but comcast sued any competition out of existence that tried to move in) I can't believe that this county (Kitsap) has this, all just a community effort over the past like 5 years to allow people to pay their own runs, i got so lucky

Zero VGS posted:Is there a trick to telling how recently a cable modem came out? Like if I want a Docsis 3.0 modem, how can I tell if a "new" one on Amazon was produced in 2006 or in 2021? For purposes of power efficiency mostly and not having new-old-stock with ancient capacitors and stuff. Not to be a prick but I'd just say grab the arris surfboard for $99 off amazon with 1 day delivery and check the date code of mfg and return it if its old.

NovaLion posted:If I have the house wired for Fiber, would that cause any hiccups with a non-fiber service? Or is that purely to communicate within the house? just think of it like roads fiber is like a interstate freeway your internet might be a unpaved road satellite or gravel road dsl or city street cable modem but you can turn from any of them onto yours, its just the local area network in your place would be blazing fast, and things would be as slow as the roads you connect to externally for destinations there

KKKLIP ART posted:I mean I have a USG3 and 2 Unifi AC Lites, looking to do a 6LR downstairs and a 6 Lite upstairs. We have a weird split level and part brick so it just eats WiFi like crazy. We do most of our hanging downstairs and the LR has better radios, just going to turn down the signal strength and call it good. From what i've heard hanging out on the ubiquiti discord is that basically any of the APs, if you're using multiple together meshed, is to set 5ghz to Medium and 2ghz to Low, across the board.

Gonna give myself like a 2 foot service loop of spare cable in a circle then into the cabinet and cut to fit to terminate into patch panels, then do all patches from then on with cable management just need to uh do it

Dang, I had a local Hi-Fi installer ( https://www.nutsabouthifi.com/ ) do the wire work in my 2300sqft split level (No basement or attic, just small crawlspaces) - Total of 6x pulls of 2x CAT6 each to wall jacks, 6 security cams with a single CAT6 run, cams mounted and terminated, and 3x APs run of just a single CAT6 each.... A total of 21 CAT6 runs all over the drat house including high heights ladder work for just shy of ~$3000

Less Fat Luke posted:I have some in-wall RJ45 panels that are backed by what I think are keystone jacks (see the pic below). I'd like to replace them with some in wall Unifi APs - the APs themselves take an RJ45 connection. Is there a way to do this without re-crimping the cable or can the keystone jack be converted in some way? I would re-crimp ends on those 100% anyway just because of the sloppy job that's done at present. I know that's just Cat-5 not Cat-6, but still, the terminations are supposed to be tight and not with excess wire stripped or untwisted. The alternative would be to unclip the keystones (yes, that's what those are, there's a tab that locks them into the plate that you can squeeze to remove them from the plate) - unclip them and just use a patch cable between the loose keystone and the in-wall AP, but that's gross on several levels, including the lovely job done terminating the keystones themselves. I just wired my house with Cat-6 all over but i did the terminations myself, which is supposed to look more like this:

Less Fat Luke posted:When you say "unclip them and just use a patch cable between the loose keystone and the in-wall AP" it's the ghetto option as noted here: (*I do not know what LRADIKAL means by chop outlet in half tho, those keystone blocks just snap out of it) LRADIKAL posted:You should crimp it for sure. The ghetto option is to chop the outlet in half, plug a patch cable into the keystone jack and shove it inside the wall, then simply snap that patch cable into your new device. the left side of the wall plate in your photo looks like it would have a 6p2c and a pair of 8p8c, no clue what the installer meant with the colors of hte keystones, maybe vlan separation in the former switch. but yes you just would pop the whole block out of hte face plate, and connect it with a standard ethernet cable to the AP, then shove all the mess into the wall. that's ghetto and horrible tho don't do it just crimp on a new 8p8c end onto one of the Cat-5s, tape the ohter two to the one so in the future they aren't lost in the wall, and hook the AP up directly with no keystones or patches

Gyshall posted:I have a primary and secondary DNS server running on my LAN, currently each uses 127.0.0.1 to resolve DNS. If your local DNS server is using 127.0.0.1, that means "themselves" which in turn means, whatever DNS server they get from DHCP is what they are pulling from, likely your cable internet/whatever internet you have's DNS on their network. So if you have Comcast Cable, their DNS server is going to come across in the DHCP reservation as your servers pull an address. If that's fine for you, then it's fine, but they're not just getting the lookups locally from thin air... I think on my local network I have my pihole set to source from 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1, the cloudflare resolvers. Many used to use 4.2.2.1 (Level 3 - they do bullshit now like stuff ads in for NXDOMAIN lookups) or 8.8.8.8 (Google) etc. There's nothing wrong per-se with just using your ISP's though.

Vintersorg posted:I messaged my networking buddy wanted to check with you guys on something. I had to wire up my own keystones and terminate the other end tonight in my new house because apparently asking for this means they only run the wire... anyways. I used tool less keystones (I regret it now) and eventually got things working well. However, I didn't have a flush edge cutter so theres a little bit of wire sticking out the side, I cut as close as I could. Will this gently caress things up? Should I go buy one and cut it flush? I was thinking that if these go bust I am going to buy a proper keystone and my buddy will loan me his punch tool. I showed him a picture and he said it should be ok though. take a boxcutter blade knife and chop off those ends. it does matter if at the least level of the ends potentially shorting in the future but also electricity at high speeds likes to have clean bends and that might introduce some oddities to leave anything perpendicular inline with the jack like that

hooah posted:Perhaps a silly question: do devices on a network default to using the gateway for DNS? I.e. do I need to configure the DNS address for every device on my network, or just the router? The DNS server(s) devices on a network use is part of the DHCP exchange when devices learn their IP address, or statically overridden in the device's own networking config. It's most commonly whatever your router told the clients to point at, usually itself.

Get on the email notification thing and pounce when they're in stock. Couple weeks or so in my past experience
