    Pls Help w home network planning (incl floorplans)

    Any one use celerity? It's pricey but when you take into account that you dont need a balun it actually comes out either the same or cheaper. I put these in all my installations. Since its fiber the response time is extremely fast so there is no lag when switching video sources. Also I can run...

    Pls Help w home network planning (incl floorplans)

    So this is what I do for a living. Retro jobs suck. Anyway you mentioned that your basement ceilings are open, correct? You could just drill up from the basement and basically never have to patch any of your walls. If this is the case then dude you need to grab some spools of cat6 and go to...

    Network setup help.

    Here is a set up where there is no internet access to worry about. Again assuming those LAN ports on the NAS are independent. But the fact that you had issues before tells me those ports might be bridged. If they are bridged just turn off DHCP on one of the routers and have it as 1 giant...

    Network setup help.

    First off the problem you are probably having off the bat is a dual DHCP issue. Make sure if you wan't the entire network to talk to each other you have only 1 DHCP set up or just split the network and make sure only 1 DHCP is reachable in each network. Now most of the time those dual Ethernet...

    Managed switches - reliable & inexpensive, possible?

    Nice suggestions. I'm going to throw in the GSM5212 as an option. I've been looking for a managed Poe switch and this is the cheapest I've found(cost per port wise).

    POE managed switch recommendation

    I'm in need of an affordable POE gigabit manged switch that's at least 24 ports. Any thoughts? this Netgear seems like a really good deal M4100 12 PoE ports at gigabit speed and it's managed. IS there a catch? has anyone tried this thing? It's not for a production environment.

    Anyone tried out any Open-Mesh equipment or services? Any good?

    I'll do you one better. I'm installing a network at a clients home. I've ordered meraki equipment (yeah this guy can afford that stuff) and I set up the network even before the equipment is in. Once the equipment arrives all we do is plug everything in and all the settings (SSIDs, DHCP...

    Fluke Networks LinkSprinter Review

    So you can't tell what VLAN or switch you're on without there being a DHCP server present? I was going to pitch this to my boss because we are looking at a $600 network tester just because it has LLDP/CDP capabilities. What we have to do now is go to a particular port and plug and unplug a...

    Unmanaged switches and VLANS

    I got a response from luxul which I think is totally wrong. the question I posed: I have your XGS 1024s switch between 2 other vendor devices. My router supports VLAN tags and my access points support VLAN tags. Will the xgs 1024s pass along that 802.1Q VLAN tag? Or will the XGS drop that...

    Unmanaged switches and VLANS

    Meraki suggest that adding this little rule to the particular SSID is enough to isolate the guest network without using VLANs I would assume this would stop internet traffic too because you need to traverse the wired LAN to get to the internet. When I get it up and running I will test to...

    Unmanaged switches and VLANS

    Yeah I figured as much. Can you explain the technical details as to how the Ubiquiti accomplishes this? These Meraki are enterprise grade WAPs so they probably do have that capabilities I just need to understand how and then I can dig into the menus to do it.

    Unmanaged switches and VLANS

    I think I already know the answer to this question but I'm hoping I'm wrong. So this is my set up. I have 3 Luxul switches which are unmanaged and they are hooked up to a Meraki MX60W. I also have Meraki APs atahced to each switch. Now my goal is to set up a guest network so I can set...

    How to telnet into an unknown IP

    So for the Perle devices I had no choice but to attach a serial cable to port 1 and use terminal software to connect to it during boot up to reset the IP. For the black box there is a reset button that once it's pushed down for 15 seconds it wipes the device and then it starts sending out...

    How to telnet into an unknown IP

    Thanks a lot for the explanation. So in short the terminal has to be pre-programmed to except the IP set as the destination on port1 as it's own. OK that clears up a lot. Now suppose the terminal isn't that smart. knowing the MAC and having access to wireshark how can I determine it's IP...

    How to telnet into an unknown IP

    Here is the situation, I have a serial terminal box (IOLAN black box to be exact). I have no idea what the IP of this box is but I do know it's MAC address. I need to telnet into this box to be able to change configs on it. I have it connected directly to a laptop. I tried installing...
