This guy AP’s!!!!!!! Thanks so much for that, I hadn’t considered the dew point. That’s a really good reason not too, but also what TGL said about what it’s passing through. I will most likely reconsider, as my current in wall is running very hot. So that dew point is certainly a thing...

Dumb question: I am thinking of mounting my main floor WAP underneath the floorboards in the family room, which just so happens to be a crawl space behind my rack. The crawl space is vented to the outside and the only thing holding me back is the low temps in the winter (potentially -10 F at...

Ya I may do that, also because I put my surge protector in the bottom and realized I won’t be able to utilize the front ports on it without one of those brush openings for power cords to keep it clean so i may move everything up anyway.

So i've made some progress getting the rack setup and getting some of the cables organized. I've come to the conclusion that I'm not really at the point where I can entertain the fiber connections, even as excited as I was to find out that each room had them. At 169.00 a pop to terminate both...

I found some MoCA! Looks like it was used for VOIP. Here is a pic of the actual base that was plugged into the basement runs. What I can’t figure out is, why would the AC adapter be installed in the master bedroom 2 floors away??!?!

Here is a close up of the orange cabling. Has two tiny wires and a lot of insulation. There’s one with every bundle of 2x cat5e and 2x coax. This terminates in every run from this box.

Hey Everyone - Super excited about my FIRST REAL home purchase, we move in this weekend! BIG house, 5757 sq ft and I have a few questions before I get started on my home networking project. I've tangled with smaller scale stuff before, single router/modem and wireless, but never anything this...

This is what I thought too, after many years of dealing with cable (but not actually having to terminate it). I'm still wondering if that was indeed the issue, but after adding the keystones and seeing what happened after running it, I'm pretty sure the cable was the problem and "running" it...

Well the plot sickens, and then ends. Here's what I finally ended up doing. Got sick of dealing with the cable I ran initially (half of an old cat5e cable), so I ripped it out and re-ran another cable that was the second half (the one I initially tested to be working at gigabit) of the first...

@bbunge - Yes i could do that but i have wall jacks and cable management that I am trying to make look "pretty" so I'd rather not go that route. Good to know that would be how to terminate one end female instead of male. I could look for a wall jack that is a punch down keystone I guess, but I...

Welp... this is where it gets tough I guess. So for my first test I went and clipped off both my terminations and stripped down all 8 wires on both ends. Tested for continuity on all open ends to make sure there were no crossed wires. That was all fine. Then ran the resistance tests by...

Great question! I can pull down around 80 so I'm pretty sure I'm capped at 100. Not sure what you mean here. Each cable has two terminations that are RJ45 plugs that are all the same, and i've used the same test setup for both (router and pc) as end points. The only difference (that I can...

Hello all - thanks in advance for the help. I'm a beginner, so go easy. I've done a lot of research and need guidance on next steps in order to solve my problem as I'm not sure what to do next. Problem: I'm trying to run a simple CAT5e cable from my router to an endpoint (laptop with wired...

Same here... I too would like to access download master but can't through web access from outside the network. I keep getting a TCP error. I'm going to check the ASUS forums to see if there is a fix in the works. @roscolo - he means that he's not at home, and he's enabled the option to...
