@icstm Kingston drives aren't exactly known for their stellar performance. :p Even a Samsung 850 Pro off ebay will outrun them.

@icstm Having thought about it, it may well be CGNAT running out of ports, which would explain the pattern you´re seeing. Having said that, if you have a data transfer already in progress (via a simple, single connection protocol like HTTP), your entry in the NAT table should stay once it has...

It could be your storage. An SSD should be able to sustain 100MB/s write, even over a SATA interface. In fact I know they can. It might be worth checking the SMART report on your storage device(s) to see if there are any errors. If not, try doing a local transfer to the same device from an...

OK, thank you. :)

OK, so in the case of CF (or other fibre ISPs) what inserts the tag? Is it the ONT in the property? The box on the telegraph pole? Something further upstream? Have you considered simple curiosity?

On Openreach infrastructure, my ISP account credentials are entered into the modem e.g. [email protected] or [email protected], which authenticates at a RADIUS server on Openreach´s network. If CF do not use this mechanism, how do they know to associate (for example) daily or monthly traffic...

So is this tag programmed into the ONT or modem? Is it associated with my account when I sign up?

I received a flyer though the door recently and yes they are available in my area. :D I had a chat with them and forgot to ask a question (I also read through this thread and didn't see it mentioned here): how does CF identify individual customers/connections? Obviously on Openreach they use...

This is the most sensible response so far. :) Yes, I did assume that a newer revision would maintain this feature, even if it did so "quietly". Granted, a "business" variant would likely support such a feature officially (along with SSID->VLAN mapping) but Devolo do not have such a variant with...

My post was for anyone else attempting to do what I've attempted to do with this particular product (or more accurately the newer variant of it). Other powerline products may not have this limitation, but I've not invested in them. Homelabbers run powerline due to the fact that not every...

Background A little while back I purchased a Devolo MAGIC 2 home kit (one single port, non-WiFi adapter and two dual-port WiFi-enabled adapters) - these worked perfectly fine (and continue to do so). I make extensive use of VLANs on my network - I created a VLAN on my (Linux) laptop and...

I have my phone (Nokia 7 Plus) paired with my desktop machine (which runs the latest KDE Neon) via Bluetooth. I can use the media controls on the desktop to control the YouTube app (and I presume others such VLC) on the phone and I can hear the audio as it is routed from the phone to the desktop...

Aha! Learned something new. :D

My current pair of Zyzel PLA4231 adapters each have a web server running on them with a configuration page enabling them to be set up via a web browser. Needless to say, they are IP-addressable. :) You could argue the same point concerning pure WiFi access points, especially considering that...

Everyone's operating environment is different, bear that in mind. Many thanks for this, I'll take a look. :)

I have a set of Zyxel powerline adapters and I'm looking to replace them as part of a network-wide overhaul. However, what I would really like is a set of powerline adapters where I can manage the entire powerline network from a single console. Do any powerline adapter manufacturers support...

Here might be a good starting point. I can't really help you with hardware because I run mine in a VM and my connection is only 8/1. However I would say to get something with AES-NI (or the AMD equivalent).

@RoyMi6 If I remember rightly, the Merlin firmware is based on Linux, so you're going to have to learn iptables and adjust the NAT rules accordingly.

Now that's a business opportunity! :p They'd have to guard against the inevitable abuse cases, but it's an opportunity. :D

@Methanoid Hey I'm not knocking you, not in the slightest. It's services like Hyperoptic that make online backup a usable reality for us bulk data...advocates. :D
