    Low Powered PC to act as remote desktop Server

    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...

    Low Powered PC to act as remote desktop Server

    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...

    ISP Fibre router Lan DHCP Issue Advice

    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...

    TP-Link EAP225v3 Postioning

    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...

    Advice about own router behind ISP Router in Bridge Mode

    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?

    Advice about own router behind ISP Router in Bridge Mode

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

    Advice about own router behind ISP Router in Bridge Mode

    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?

    Advice about own router behind ISP Router in Bridge Mode

    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...

    TP-Link EAP225v3 Postioning

    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...

    TP-Link EAP225v3 Postioning

    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...

    TP-Link EAP225v3 Postioning

    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...

    Cisco Linksys X2000 and static IP

    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...

    Homeplug DHCP problems

    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...

    Homeplug DHCP problems

    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...
