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

Find an old plow disc and Polish it up.
It's cheap and works

 

That's a cool idea, could even season it like a cast iron skillet.

 

Made a couple myself for a friend, he loves them!

 

That’s what I got. Works like a charm

 

Im so confused by the term “overlanding”

 

Hey Tony, hope things are well.

I am in S. Charlotte. Anyway I had a question about the cat6. Do you mind telling me what you are running it for? My house was built in ‘02 but does not have the cat5. I had wind stream out to upgrade my speed but couldn’t since I only have basic phone lines and cable. I have been thinking of running a cat5 cable, but never heard of 6. I am tech deficient in this crap. Is 6 the new 5?

Thank and hope you’re doing ok

 

what is there to be confused about? Are you overthinking again?!

 

CAT 5/6 are the same form factor with the same RJ45 connector on each end. 5 is rated for 1 gig per second and 6 is rated for 10 gigs per second. Both are overkill unless you have 1 gig symmetrical fiber installed in your house.
I would recommend looking into a good mesh WIFI system. I personally love UniFi by Ubiquity.

They also have a killer UI (user interface) that lets you easily control features of your internet that used to be accessible to network admins.

 

I have spectrum cable, it's nothing fast (I pay for their lowest tier). I have wifi in the house but I'm in IT, I'm anal, and I want things to be as efficient as possible.

I am using cat5/cat6 to drop to certain areas to get full speed (from the router) to high priority devices without the degradation and latency of wifi. In this case, I was dropping cat5/6 into bedrooms for my TV's.

I would think any cable service could offer you at least 100down/10up service, which is efficient enough to do 4k across whatever for the most part.

If you're unhappy with your current speeds, DM me. I can help you out. Could be a huge number of factors.

@Disco_Inferno_ all Ubiquiti stuff here. UDM, Wifi6 AP's, POE switches, etc.

 

@aturk I am in IT too. I probably put up with less than optimal performance at home because I am so done with tech at the end of the day!

 

I was lazy and ran my drops a year ago for AP's but never finished it. Was relying on a few Beacon HD's (the mesh ones you plug into an outlet) to get me by, but you lose 50% right off the bat vs an AP. Work was slow, I was bored, and I spent some money on the new Wifi 6 - Lite AP's. Should have the new config finished up tomorrow.

 

At work, we have all of their network equipment, 13 of their security cameras and their door access system!

 

fancy camping about it but its fun

 

Wait. You camp while overlanding? I just drive down to the local Starbucks for my overlanding. I live in SC so the roads suck and justify the Kings.

 

haha yes i camp well i havent much since the truck is still messed up and i leave it at home more then anything now

 

Overlanding is a lyfestyle yo

 

haha ya
