I will look into how unbound is working currently for me and make one change at a time so as not to break anything. Reading would be ok if I could see properly, am old and my eyes hurt, they are never the same any two days in a row. I used to be a welder and could see a crak in a hair, not now...

I ordered a phone line, , I asked during the orer process if the line would be able to handle internet when I would research the best provider in my area and was told yes. I ordered interent, a month later no box from the provider arrived, I asked them why, and was old my line needed upgraded...

Yes, I have no experience with networking, that is why I am asking for help. I am now at the point where I can gain internet access with my phone connected via a USB to RJ45 adapter that in turn is connected to my OPNsenses WAN port. It is working well, I updated OPNsense four times and am now...

Yes, and still no answers. I could not follow the OPNsense video in regard to setting up the box, as I was just using my phones hotspot at that time, but now that I have the switch installed, and a few devices connected to the switch, and am able to ping them and transfeare files between them, I...

Hello once again, I am making no progress in regard to connecting my OPNsense router/firewall to the internet. I have tried to get my OPNsense box to connect to the internet via my hotspot which is bridged to my mobile phone, and had no success at all. I have also connected a USB to WiFi...

Thank you kindly to all who posted. I have moved on to the next step, getting connected to the internet, which am having a lot of troube achievingj. I have no fixed landline to a provider wherre I live, so am using a mobile phone bridged to a hotspot that I connect to the WAN port on the...

Thanks Colin. Can I take it that me setting the login IP to the opnsense box is a seperate thing and it will not interfere at all with the function of the unit. And if you know, would setting the starting IP to 192.168.1.130 stop any addresses below this number from being given out to lan...

Hi Colin. There are no orange links beside the entries am asking about, others are greyed out too, but they wouldnt have the help I need anyway.

Thanks @ddaenen1 , I will try this and hopefullu no issues will arise.

D-Link 1210 24 port switch. it has 4 1gb sfp ports with 4 standard 1gb rj45 ports also available as uplinks, can not use both sfp and rj45 ports at the same time, which is fine for me.

My smart switch arrived, and I have my devices connected to it. I now need to connect the switch to my wired route / firewall, but which port on the switch do I connect my wired router / firewall to. Do I need to use one of the switches uplinks, or will any port on the switch be ok to use.. My...

Thanks for replay, this is valuable to know, I still use 2.4 to link to an outside building, oddly enough I prioritise 2.4 ability otherwise I can not take advantage of what is stored in the outlaying building.

What are the issues coming with the BE class routers.

Waiting for it to arrive in the mail. I attached a pdf of the models of switch I ordered, it is the 24 port version, it is managed, but because I am not technical in regard to networking, I have little cluse as to what the specifications in the pdf reffer to. I went on to another manufacturers...
