    DS218J with WD Red Plus drive temperature

    I have the same Synology DS218J NAS using 8TB WD Red Plus drives, and had the same problem with one drive having a higher temp.. All I did was take the hotter drive and moved it to the Drive 1 position where it got better cooling (compared to Drive 2 position). Much closer in temp now...

    Recommend MoCA 2.5 4-port Splitter ?

    For a 4-way MoCA splitter, the usual recommendation was the Holland Electronics MoCA GHS-4PRO-M. However, the Amphenol 4-Way Digital Coaxial Splitter MoCA 2.0 ABS314H is essentially the same, as they bought out Holland... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CRR5MPJ/?tag=snbforums-20 Don't forget to...

    Multi Port 2.5Gbe Switch

    Were you using Intel X550-based network cards when you found that that TP-Link 2.5Gbe switches wouldn't auto-negotiate? If so, did they auto-negotiate properly to 2.5Gbe using the QSW-1105? I'm curious because I have a Trendnet TEG-S762 that won't auto-negotiate with my X550 cards on the 2.5Gbe...

    Discussion about MoCA 2.5 adapter with 2.5GbE Ethernet port

    Coaxial cable has an inner and outer core that share a geometric axis, compared to Ethernet cable which has 8 separate lines for data transmission. Ethernet cable can do full duplex because it can send transmit and receive data simultaneously using different lines. Because coax has only one...

    X550-T1 NICs on Amazon - any good?

    Lately, I've seen several X550-T1 network cards on Amazon from multiple Asian sellers listed for around $60. I've also seen on eBay what looks like Intel OEM cards (also from Asia) that include Intel-labeled driver cds for around $150, but if the $60 would work OK, it seems a no-brainer to buy...

    Thinking about switching to MoCA 2.5

    Not sure if this helps, but Frontier router logins often simply use "admin" for the user and "admin", "password" or "password1" for the password . A long shot, but you could also try Frontier Support at Frontier.com/install-fiber-optic Live Chat or call their support number (1. 800.239.4430)

    I miss the old Asus tablet/phone icons. Does anyone know how to extract it from older firmware, or have a .png copy?

    2.5gb aimesh Ethernet backhaul

    I was asking primarily about the RT-AX86U, but also requested the XT8 to be able to use 2.5Gb backhaul. I do not have either router, but plan to buy sometime this year (still using my trusty RT-AC68U as AP).
