    Is anybody interested in 8+2 10GbE switch?

    You can get 2 10Gb nics and direct attach them for a reasonable price these days. Then just add a switch later if you really need it. Getting a used 2 port Nic is a cost effective way to give a bit of extra expansion

    10GB NIC only getting 1GB speeds

    I recently had to reinstall WIN after an update broke everything and was unrecoverable. On getting everything setup again I couldn't get past 1Gb on a direct connection to another machine. Then I remembered...Disable the Onboard Nic then setup and map the network drive over 10Gb link. then...

    10GB NIC only getting 1GB speeds

    Not true anymore, most somewhat modern HDD can hit 190-200MB/s which is obviously almost 2Gb/s

    Potential break in the line? (disconnected AP)

    Once in a while the connections on the ends are bad, change em a 2nd time and it's usually better. There are testers that can do a better job of testing or use a multimeter and see if any are shorted out etc

    New POE 802.3bt

    Not all cable is the same. I don't use anything less than 23ga cable. It's available up to like 26ga I think. Bigger copper handles power/signals better.

    Advice on home network installation

    Don't forget Cat6 for security cams or an AP if you think you might want some. I'd also suggest a patch panel for versatility later. If you don't mind paying someone to install everything for you do it. Or just pay them to run the cable and diy the terminations at each end, it's up to you. Be...

    Advice on home network installation

    1Gb Network is questionable in a home??? That's false in a huge percentage of cases these days. The 1Gb network has become the bottleneck of data transfers with any single standard HDD reaching 190-200MB/s almost 2Gb. SSD are at 500MB/s and the NVME are averaging 2500-3500MB with the new up to...

    Mesh network with my R7800?

    Extenders in general are very limiting by their design. For better performance I would suggest a regular AP or look at other options. Why does the router have to move? Can the router stay and use a switch at the other end of house? Can the router be moved to a central location? Additional...

    Using the Cloud for Better Site-to-Site Speed

    I haven't tried it but it seems like the newer cloud storage options would be a very viable possibility. With the encryption options pretty much as a default with the better services, it seems to be a rather easy task. It certainly would be an easy test to gauge performance.

    Daisy chaining computers to form a network

    I can't see how a router in a hallway is very efficient or aesthetically pleasing I would begin by looking into ways to relocate the router to a better location. Without knowing the layout of the house or reasoning of the hallway location that's difficult to offer suggestions. Essentially start...

    Tapping into existing ethernet...

    Yes drill new holes and run all your new stuff independent of your old. You can always change the old jacks in the wall so they are more universal and interchangeable, as keystone jacks. That way you can have all your jacks in the same coverplate. Otherwise add some jacks on the other side of...

    How To Connect to a Network Printer from Outside the Network?

    One large main switch or a few smaller switches?

    Smurf Tube is code compliant for low voltage anyway. I would suggest nail plates at ANY stud penetration from wiring or plumbing.

    Outdoor Cat6 wiring

    Attics are extreme temperature areas. It's best to not place electronic equipment there. You will usually have lower useful life on those components.
