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...

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...

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.?

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

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.

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)...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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!
