    Buggy IP manual assigment on AC68P [Merlin 380.57_0]

    In the web interface, when I try to manually assign an ip address to a mac address, it writes down the configuration, but my device still has the same undesired ip. I tried to reset three times with: - Power On + WPS - Reset - mtd-erase2 nvram I assign adresses in: LAN -> DHCP Server...

    PostgreSQL server on a QNAP NAS?

    I have read a few posts about people running PostgreSQL instances inside virtual machines with success. In fact, they were running dozens if not a hundred of instances in different VM with only a little performance drop. They probably have the hardware to back this configuration though... But...

    QNAP Virtualization Station

    You have probably read my post about running PostgreSQL server on a QNAP NAS. This post made me realize how powerful a NAS can be! And that made me think that I could just run a Postgres server in a Ubuntu VM. I never used VMs before, and correct me if I'm wrong. Does QNAP limits the Ubuntu VM...

    PostgreSQL server on a QNAP NAS?

    Has anyone ever tried to run a PostgreSQL server on a QNAP box? I know Postgres is available in their repo, but I was wondering if that could work well or not. Does a NAS work like any linux distro out there? Could you just compile sources? I would install PostGIS with CGAL too. I was...

    [SOLVED] Can't use 1000Mbps speed. Stuck at 100Mbps

    I tested another cable, got 1000 Mb/s full duplex on router and computer. I switched back to the first cable I was using, still 1000 Mb/s full duplex on both side. Then I realized that I am a complete idiot. While testing the "known" cable, I realized that my USB drive isn't attached to my...

    [SOLVED] Can't use 1000Mbps speed. Stuck at 100Mbps

    I seem to have the latest driver. Isn't CAT6 supposed to be "better" than CAT5 ?

    [SOLVED] Can't use 1000Mbps speed. Stuck at 100Mbps

    I decided to use a wired connection between my laptop and my RT-AC68P router (with Merlin firmware). The result of ethtool command shows that 1000Mbps is possible with my ethernet adapter on my laptop. prototron@ProtoMachine:~$ sudo ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP ]...

    QNAP TVS-463 or else?

    Hello, I am passively looking to buy a NAS and I have settled to a few criteria that are important to me. I intend to keep the box more than 5 years so i want it to have: - Decent CPU (quad-core) - Upgradable RAM (easily upgradable, not risking to break something) - Upgradable to 10gbe or...

    Small business networking, data storing/sharing and backup solution

    Wise words. This is why I see the need to move to a more robust, convenient, scalable solution to adapt to the current time and to an eventual growth of the organization. Exactly! I feel the lag every minute of the day.

    Small business networking, data storing/sharing and backup solution

    Well, after reading everyone here I realize that even a small scale network has the potential to become much more complex than I thought. But I think I can keep the network installation rather simple, as it is right now, but just modernize it. Here is the plan I am thinking about: For...

    Small business networking, data storing/sharing and backup solution

    Indeed, I am a more hobbyist than professional. You should know though that mixing up 'gigabyte' with 'gigabit' for me is the same as mixing up 'than' and 'then' for you. We both know the difference between those words and sometimes we inadvertently mix them up. :) That being said, thank you...

    Small business networking, data storing/sharing and backup solution

    Wow thank you for such a complete answer! This is much appreciated. However, with such an answer rises more questions :p I must mention that we are a Non-Profit organization, so we don't have a lot money. So my objective is to spend money that will be well invested, in a robust and...
