Many thanks BBunge for your helpful reply. I have not really used VNC for remote control. Do you know if it includes WOL tools that will send magic packets to wake up the PCs. If not I may have to rely on etherwake assuming this will install on Raspbian or Bullseye. I could use anydesk to...

I look after the IT infrastructure for our local community hall. We have an Internet Cafe with three windows 10 PCs, a streaming webcam and hopefully soon a CCTV system. I would like to be able to remotely access the Lan so I can wake up the PCs and RDP into them to install updates etc. Also...

I am in the UK and have 50Mp synchronous FTTP with a company called Gigaclear. They supply a basic Genexis DRGOS HRG1000 Fibre router. The Wi-Fi from this is rubbish so I now have three TP-Link EAP245’s covering my property which give excellent Wi-Fi coverage. My problem is with DHCP. I have...

OK,so lots of time in Covid-19 lock-down has allowed me to catch up on lots of jobs including finishing CCTV installation and installing my EAP-245s. I have followed the advice above including making up a bracket to hold the EAP horizontal and so far I have reduced all my numerous APs to just...

Thanks for the clarification Val D. If I am to disable the router WiFi in favour of my EAp225 Mesh presumably I can use the later RT-AC66U B1 without any issues with throttling unless this also applies to routing as well as WiFi?

Thank you again Trip for a detailed reply. I will contact Gigaclear Tech Support and ask if I need credentials in the second router.

Many thanks for your advice. My exiting AC66U has hardware v B1 on the label but not a front facing USB port. Is this the older router?

I have a 50mbps FTTP with an ISP in the UK called Gigaclear. They provide a Genexis HRG 1000 router by default. Recently I have been having problems with my internet connection and their Tech Support think I am flooding one of the 4 ports on the router as I have a 24 port switch attached to it...

Many thanks Trip that's really helpful. Thank you for a very detailed response and also the tip on combining the switch. However I may have one problem with this suggestion. I have a Genexis HGR 1000 router connected to my 50Mbps FTTP. The ISP say that I am flooding one of the ports on the...

Thanks for reply. Did you mean "Above Ceiling" is fine? Unfortunately I cannot position above kitchen cupboards as too small a gap. Good idea about Omada software. I think I'll install the two easiest APs and then see what Wi-Fi network coverage gaps I have left. I might be able to attach a long...

I have a very long 4 bedroom single storey bungalow with a number of wireless access points including some old routers acting as AP's. I have decided to replace these with a set of TP-Link EAP225v3 adapters. I have purchased three EAP 225's and aimed to install them on Cat5E backhaul to a...

I have an ongoing problem with an installation using Devolo dLan 200 AV Homplugs. These are installed in a large period building of three floors which incorporates new and older wiring. The whole house is supplied by a three phase supply and there is a distribution board on the ground floor...

Hi, I am from the UK and generally our ADSL ciruits provided by ISP's (with the exception of AOL who stil use PPPoE) are PPPoA VC/Mux. To authenticate you need a user name and password provided by the ISP and normally the ISP provides a WAN IP by DHCP. I have just bought a Cisco Linksys X2000...

Many thanks Tim, After a lot of research I had almost come to the same conclusion re giving each AP a static IP. I think thats a good starting point. Hadn't thought about looking at Router logs re IP assignment. Will do that also. :( I have just had an e-mail from the the customer saying...

I appreciate this is primarily a US forum and that Devolo homeplugs may not be available in the US but hopefully there are similarities to other makes. I have a peculiar problem with a customer’s network which I have set up using Homeplugs. This is a very large rambling house with new...
