    New camera wiring problem - hope someone can help!

    So I've just bought three reolink cameras and have just run cable for the first camera. I've run a cable from my PoE switch to a patch panel and then through my attic (bungalow) to nearby my front door. My cable tester shows that all eight wires are 'green' and therefore supposedly wired...

    Advice on using old PC as dedicated NAS for security cameras

    We got a couple of PoE cameras recently and while it'll be a few weeks before I can run the ethernet cable, I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to set them up. Previously I'd planned to hook these up to my current Unraid server using a docker such as Shinobi, but some videos I've watched...

    INFO: Word of warning about Vodafone UK FTTH/FTTP

    TLDR : triple check the username and password Vodafone sends you is correct. Just had a hellish time swapping out the Vodafone supplied THG3000 for a DIY mini pc router running pfsense. Being fairly new to pfsense I assumed throughout many hours of frustration that I must be doing something...

    Confused about subnets and vlans

    So I have a four port DIY router running pfsense and a Zyxel 24 port managed switch - neither are currently in use on my home network. I'm just connected to them via an old laptop to configure the web ui's. This is because my wife is very reliant on internet and access to our media server so I...

    Just realised my Netgear switch does not support LACP or IEEE 802.3ad - does it matter?

    So I bought a Netgear GS116Ev2 about 18 months ago and it stayed in the box until recently as I had to move house and then became far too ill to do anything very much for about a year. Now I'm feeling a bit better, I've just discovered it doesn't support LACP: The manual states: The switch...

    Dumb vs Managed PoE switch

    We're currently using an Asus RT-AC86U but this will soon be replaced by a low power s920 Fujitsu PC running either OPNsense or pfSense (haven't made my mind up) which will in turn connect to a Netgear 16 port managed switch for the home inter PC network. When I bought this switch a while ago...

    Trying to plan best use of router & switches on home network

    I've managed to install OPNsense on a Fujitsu S920 and I'm wondering how to make best use of the 5 ports I have available. I also have a 16 port Netgear plus switch (GS116E) which is a managed switch. Neither of these are actually in use currently - I've got a lot of wiring to do from four...

    advice about pfsense/opnsense hardware: H87N-wifi

    I'm a noob to DIY networking and routers - beyond having installed Asuswrt-merlin in my RT-AC86U a few years ago, I haven't really been able to mess about and experiment with it because my S.O. is very reliant on a reliable internet connection for communication and study as she's housebound with...
