Mook posted:Hmm, the Asus RTN16 doesn't do 5ghz band though. Does that really make a difference? My apartment is pretty small, my router is maybe 10 feet from where I do my computing and within line of sight, though I do have poured concrete walls. I get full signal right now. I just feel like Im wasting my 50Mbit bandwidth only accessing 10 of it over wifi. Though if I get the N16 I could try to use their built in NAS/Torrent stuff to mitigate that slightly. I'm on 100MBit fiber and my mobile phone maxes out at around 20Mbit on my RT-N16. I sort of regret not just buying one of the RT-N56/66 or whatevers. But then again I only use wireless for my phone. My desktop will max out at 100 up/down through the RT-N16 unless I turn on SNMP in DD-WRT.

Maybe this will help someone else. I was looking for a new router to run pfsense and found this: http://www.mini-box.com/MITAC-PD12TI-D2500CCE-Mini-ITX-Motherboard It's actually an Intel board with a pair of real Intel nics. That plus the case they show on the page and $10 on ebay for 2gb of so-dimms for a new pfsense box ~$170.

Depends on your connection. RT-N16 will handle up to around 120mbps and be completely unresponsive during it. I use mine as just an AP now.

redeyes posted:Does anyone know how to force a particular computer (Windows 2012 Server R1) to be the Master Browser on my network? Another Windows 7 computer keeps stealing the Master Browser and not finding the server itself so the rest of my computers wont populate the Network map with the server. I don't want to use a Domain because that is super overkill for my network. On the Win7 machine check this registry setting: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters IsDomainMaster should be false.

Sounds like a samba issue. Probably something with what device is trying to assert itself as master. Check your devices to see if there is a setting to disable becoming master.

So I have a part-time weekend job that is real close by. It's 238 feet in a straight line from my apartment (though there are 2 houses blocking los). I have gigabit fiber at home and no internet at work. Is there a fairly cheap way to extend my network that far? It looks like a pair? of Ubiquiti Nanostations would work?

Minidust posted:Just moved into an upstairs apartment. Router is downstairs with the landlord. I'd like to get a wired connection upstairs if I can help it, and the landlord is willing to let me set that up. I'm fine with hiring a pro to do it -- is there some type of business that specializes in wiring ethernet cable? Or maybe some chain store that I wouldn't have thought of that offers an ethernet wiring service? Cable installers are good at running it. Put an ad on craigslist.

I posted a while back wondering if using a pair of ubiquiti nanostations to extend my wifi from my apartment 230 some feet would work. Well I bought 2 nanostation loco m2's and right now they've got a 2 bar link. I think I can get a better link with moving the "base" unit around more but I actually ran outta cable. Going to buy a window mount for one of em too. Anyway thats my story of extending my network across the neighborhood.

I have them mounted indoors, I don't think they can handle the outdoors. I don't have line of sight at all which is why I was curious if this would work at all. I have to shoot through one house and probably the edge of another. edit; this is in airmax mode, which kinda stinks because normal client devices can't connect in this mode.

While screwing with my nanostations today I got a notification that 5.5.10 firmware was released for a bunch of ubiquiti products.quote:Regulatory updates: Also I got in the ubiquiti window mount for the loco m2 and to anyone else, just buy a cheap window mount instead of the branded one. This thing does not actually clip-in to an m2. I just used some velcro ties to hold it.

onecircles posted:My family and I live in the same apartment complex and I'm looking into setting up a repeater so that I can mooch off their wifi, but before I commit the dollars I want to know if this will be possible given the layout of the constructions in the area. Both of our apartments are 4 feet below ground. The smaller structure that the blue line passes through is a covered picnic area with 4 large concrete pillars. In the second photo you can see that there is only a small window of direct line of sight from one apartment to the other. The distance between the two apartments is about 60-45 meters or 162-216 feet. if one of those houses that isn't in the way WAS in the way, that would be pretty similar to what I'm screwing around with. I bought 2 Ubiquiti Nanostation Loco m2s (~$100 total) that seem to be working out ok. But my base station is up on the 3rd floor.

to get really nitpicky, consumer unmanaged switches are mostly the same. If you want to push lots of data across them you have to dig really hard to find throughput numbers. Low end switches may have gigabit compatible ports, but the throughput may not be.

If it's your house spend a hundred bucks on cabling/tools and just do it yourself it's not hard and it will probably be done better. You know who has all those tools and cable? Cable installers. People give Comcast a lot of poo poo, but seriously, having a buddy who is a cable installer is pretty handy.

Any advice on what router to pick? I guess this dude has like a grand to blow, but I can't see him doing anything insane so that's probably over budgeting. It'd be preferable to get something that just works, I don't want to deal with any kind of bs more than what I already have to. that sounds like an Apple AirPort Extreme kinda situation. really sucks working at places that make you do that kinda poo poo.

You can also build a pfsense router pretty cheap really. That won't cover wireless but if you want something better than a generic consumer router, you can do it for under $200.

I don't really know much about how they work, I just know on pfsense at least, you choose to use either dnsmasq (old way) or unbound (added with 2.2? I think). Unbound is set to only query root servers.

Intel dq77kb is what I use for my pfsense box, it's an awesome socket 1155 board with dual nics, msata support in mini thin-itx. It's discontinued but you can still find it around. Amazon has it ranging from $89 to 149. This plus a Celeron G1620 $(40), 2GB ram from eBay ($10), mini-box.com m350 case ($40) and an old laptop power supply handle my gigabit fiber.

Keep an eye out on what Ubiquiti will be sure to cook up (Edgeswitch with 10GbE and PoE would be nice.) I think we might see 2.5 and 5 gigabit gear first. I can already get 2.5/5/10 gigabit service, just don't have the hardware or the need.
