    Fun with ChatGPT...

    While they train on our written and spoken communication, images, video, etc., we real human beings are training on their pap to detect AI-generated content. I would believe that humans win. Wouldn’t this be an interesting question for ChatGPT: “Is this text human- or AI-generated?” and include...

    Need a multi-AP system that (primarily) works

    I have a very similar setup, only I use EnGenius APs. If you want to manage your APs through a web interface, you’ll have to use the models with the “FIT” suffix. I don’t like having to use a phone app for setting up network equipment. I do believe that Ethernet backhauls for each AP is the way...

    Forum bias toward Netgear and Asus?

    Seeing that there are dedicated sub-fora for Asus and Netgear I am wondering, whether there is a general preference for those two brands. I don’t have a problem with that, per se, but am curious about why. Why aren’t there fora for Ubiquiti, Meraki, Linksys, Eero, EnGenius, etc.?

    Common and inexpensive switch and networking brands in Germany

    I was hoping for brands that were not from Communist China.

    Mounting bracket for EnGenius EWS357AP access point

    Because I wanted to mount an EnGenius EWS357AP access point to a 1-gang electrical box or low-voltage bracket, I designed a mounting bracket adapter: You can get the STL or model file from GrabCAD.

    Router in a closet

    Netgate 1100 internet gateway: https://a.co/d/dEtMg8z EnGenius EWS357AP: https://a.co/d/06zXp5J (find it on eBay for less) EnGenius EWS357-Fit: https://a.co/d/i7n38zw (I prefer the former’s ability to be configured through a web interface, the -Fit needs to be configured through an app)...

    Router in a closet

    Get a pfSense appliance. Either get Netgate’s own hardware or any mini-PC with at least two Intel Ethernet interfaces (Realtek NICs pose problems with the underlying FreeUSB Unix). If you need more ports at that location, get another switch. This will be your internet gateway, firewall and...

    Planning wired home network

    I would be worried about condensation. If the temperature suddenly swings from cold to hot, the air will contain more moisture and will then condense on the metal components as they will take longer to warm up.

    Common and inexpensive switch and networking brands in Germany

    I want to plan a network upgrade for my dad in Germany. Unfortunately, I live in the U.S. and have been using mainly Netgear and EnGenius equipment here. I have fared well with those choices. Looking at what’s available in Germany on Amazon.de, those brands are not as available. I am wondering...

    Router in a closet

    I can recommend the EnGenius EWS357AP access points. They can be administered through a browser connecting to their web user interface. No controller needed. They also work well, when they each have their own Ethernet backhauls. You would also want to use a PoE Ethernet switch that would not...

    VLAN not propagating to specific port on GS108T

    I have a Netgate 1100 internet gateway. One of its ports is connected with a GS108PEv3, which powers three EnGenius WiFi access points and has a downstream GS108T connected to it. I cannot get connectivity on the configured port of the GS108T with a particular VLAN in use on the rest of my...

    Combine MoCA and PoE in one device?

    Does anyone make a device that combines MoCA and PoE in one device? Such a device would have an Ethernet port and a coax port like the current MoCA adapters. It would also be powered by a power source beefy enough to power several devices on the other end of the coax run, where the MoCA adapter...

    Why can’t I use the CommScope CSMF1APDU9VPI?

    It’s the least I can do in return for getting the help and paying it forward to those who come across this thread in search for a solution to the same or a similar problem.

    Why can’t I use the CommScope CSMF1APDU9VPI?

    Following your suggestion I plugged the coax feed from the MoCA adapter plugged into the router via Ethernet into Out 1, rather than In. That made it work! Thanks for your help, Mr. Kaufman!

    Why can’t I use the CommScope CSMF1APDU9VPI?

    Now that you know, what doesn’t work, do you know, what I should replace that with?

    Why can’t I use the CommScope CSMF1APDU9VPI?

    My ISP installed a CommScope CSMF1APDU9VPI, in order to get signal to all of the rooms. Now we are cutting the cord, and I would like to repurpose the individual coax legs for my Gigabit Ethernet LAN. I have purchased a set of MoCA units (ScreenBeam ECB7250). When I use them in a direct link...
