    How do I get this PC on my LAN?

    Use a pair of VLAN capable switches to "split" the existing ethernet cable. E.g. Assign VLAN 10 for LAN, VLAN 20 for WAN. On the living room side: Assign 1 port on the switch to VLAN 10 in Untagged (Access) mode. Connect this to the ISP router "LAN" port. Assign 1 port with VLANs 10 & 20...

    Ubiquiti ERLite-3 Slow, Inconsistent Throughput

    What are the tests that are consistently delivering lower throughput (if at all consistent)? Certain tests may trigger some ALGs which are not accelerated on the unit or trigger some Auto-QoS features. E.g. SIP traffic.

    VLAN Question

    Looks about right. Just remember to disable inter-vlan routing on the RV since you require isolation of the networks.

    Untagged VLAN

    Regardless of switch or brand, all access (untagged) ports on a specific VLAN are able to communicate with each other. It's basically like grouping and separating ports into virtual separate switches - hence, Virtual LAN. It depends on what Mikrotik equipment you are working with. The SwOS and...

    The difference between 1000BT and dual purpose uplinks ?

    For Catalyst switches, dual-purpose uplink ports means that you can use either the copper (8P8C aka RJ45), or the SFP port but not both. i.e. If you had 2 dual-purpose uplinks, you will have 2 matching RJ45 and SFP port sets but can only use either port from each set. 1000Base-T would be...

    ASUS RT-N66U Ports for VPN on Mac OSX Server

    Have you tried forwarding ESP as well? Try adding a port forward rule with: Port Range: 50 Local Port: Leave blank. Protocol: Other

    Netgear Gs105 Dropping Packets

    I've encountered weird link negotiation issues with Asus routers so here goes. When you have the switch connected to the Asus router, can you check the switch port LEDs and verify that the link is actually up at 1GbE? On the GS105, the 2 leds above the cable will be lit (blinking for...

    Cisco SG200-26 - Can't view web interface

    Look at the power LED on the switch. Is it blinking or just statically on? If it is blinking, the switch has not received a DHCP address from the router and can be accessed at 192.168.1.254. If it is not blinking, it has received a DHCP address. In this case, try checking the DHCP lease...

    DELL X540-T2 10 GbE NIC want allow M/B to boot

    It's a known problem with some expansion cards. IIRC, lots of pfSense users had issues with the Intel PT Quad cards due to a similar issue. Forcing the Link gen. back down to v1 solved the issue for them. Also, for Dell branded 10GbE cards, the issue might be bigger than just a PCIe Gen...

    DELL X540-T2 10 GbE NIC want allow M/B to boot

    If you are using the first PCIe slot - the one that is normally used for graphics cards, try going into BIOS and look for the option to change the PCIe link gen and drop it down to Gen2 or Gen1. Some of these cards don't behave properly when placed in a PCIe Gen 3 slot (they don't seem to...

    VLAN & bridging & IPTV

    Some of these IPTV STB and RG setups use VLANs, and sometimes, VLAN priority tags. By overriding the VLAN on the packets, either device is now rejecting the packets. Also, it is possible that the switch drops the packets at the port connected to the RG because the RG sends VLAN tagged packets...

    Buffering when connected via a Switch

    As I mentioned before, the Asus router ports can be somewhat fussy when it comes to negotiating the link speed. I've encountered this issue with some Intel NICs and D-Link switches. Shuffling the port used on the router occasionally solves the problem. E.g. the Intel NIC will only do Gigabit...

    Buffering when connected via a Switch

    Check your switch port to verify that the link from the Asus to the switch is running at GbE full duplex. I've encountered issues with the Asus router line-up where certain NICs and switches will not negotiate properly - typically drop down to 10M or 100M half-duplex.

    Name resolution LAN

    They should be able to do local name discovery and resolution. Do also check if you have any WINS servers configured on the clients and remove them if necessary.

    Questions about VLANS and IPTVs.

    Yes, it can work if your setup is what I think it is - Singtel with MIO. Presumably, you rent the STB from the ISP and sub out to the tenants. In which case, you probably want the stock firmware on the Asus router and select the MIO vlan setup option. This will split the Internet, Mio...
