Charlotte, NC area: hate on OP, houses, boats & hoes

@Mastiffsrule , you could also look into Ethernet over Power (EoP). I don't have any first hand experience with it, as I have not needed it, but one of the guys who used to work for me said he used it with great speeds across the house.

Otherwise, I second the mesh setup.

 

PoE.

Thats just how devices are powered, vs an external power adapter.

 

LOL. I had never heard of Ethernet over Power either before this guy told me about it.

Basically, you plug your Cat 5/5e/6 cable into a device that you also plug into the wall. It somehow uses the romex (power cables) in your house to send signal to a receiving unit, which can either broadcast a wireless signal, have another RJ45 connector, or both.

Example:

$110 NETGEAR Powerline adapter Kit, 1000 Mbps Wall-plug, 1 Gigabit Ethernet Ports (PL1000-100PAS), White, 2 Count (Pack of 1)

Huh, learn something every day! I had not heard of that either.

So it's kinda like MoCA? Actually look into MoCA @Mastiffsrule as you likely already have that as an option.

 

When you guys get to talking about this stuff I feel like I'm in IT 101 at college.

 

I only know just enough to have been able to set up and monitor my UniFi system.

 

Dropped out of that class before the second week. Fuck Cisco.

 

But his song 20 years ago was straight fire!

Wait, what?

 

Dumps like a truck

 

bruh. you house is bugged and they are listening.

Someone gave us an Echo and I unplug it every chance I get.

 

I mean, you're not wrong. But your phone is always listening too. Privacy is an illusion, like airport security.

 

They love my conversations.

 

yep. Totally. We had a phone call with the wedding venue we booked and the lady started taking about wedding insurance. Not 5 mins later my phone started showing me ads for that very thing on FB.

 

The Warfab hitch skid has better coverage and I’ve been bashing mine to death for 2 years now. I hit it in reverse hard enough to bend the steel , but the welds still held just fine.

 

Bump. Anyone wanna wheel uhwarrie this weekend?

 

Thanks for all the responses. Everything after …I can try was foreign to me. I will hit up @aturk offer. I think I just need to run a cat5 from my box.

 

Might as well run Cat6

 

That is what I was thinking. I would run cat six from the service box outside to where me modem is. Then my WiFi can do the rest, correct.

 

What service do you have? How is your current modem connected? Fiber, coax or dsl?

 

Kinetic/Windstream. Only other option was Spectrum and hate them. Cable modem on second floor. My house is wired weird, built in 02, I bought in 07. They were not cable pre wired and not all rooms had phone jacks. Best spot for modem was upstairs.

Windstream came out to upgrade, but I have basic phone line and cable. They would run the cable outside but o did not want that. So I will do it on ,y own, not sure what cable to run. So I guess cat 6 from service box to modem on second floor then my wifi can do the rest. Windstream can tie into cable at service box.

I really need to retire the whole dang house. Who builds a house in 2000’s without cable prewired. And not a cheap house, in s. Charlotte/Ballantyne area.
