    Grain Connect FTTP Discussion

    When looking at CF issues, almost anything install related isn’t anything to do with the ISP, whoever that is. Yayzi aren’t perfect by any stretch, last weeks incident with NTT sucked and about 40% of the user base spent most of a day without service, but it’s about the only major downtime they...

    Interference from neighbours network

    Stop and think. Wifi is designed to coexist with other wifi networks, you've checked and proven you are on totally separate and non overlapping channels, so what possible impact can the neighbour be having through a presumably solid wall? The explanation offered not only doesn't make sense, the...

    Interference from neighbours network

    This isn't an interreference issue as you are on non overlapping channels as you've confirmed multiple times at this point, as such can we please stop blaming the neighbour because that's just silly. The small white box is presumably the ONT, it's not got anything to do with wifi, it's literally...

    Looking for faster reliable broadband.

    Why would a company building it's own fibre network only selling it's services on it be odd? They aren't CityFibre or Openreach, they don't wholesale to other ISP's, they don't have to, that's how alt-net's work, they build it, they own it, they choose who can use it and if they want to let any...

    *** Official Ubiquiti Discussion Thread ***

    Thats actually really useful to know, and you may have just saved me trying to diagnose an issue that doesn't exist, as I probably wouldn't have waited 90+ seconds to see what happened before trying to fix it.

    *** Official Ubiquiti Discussion Thread ***

    Yep, a standard is only a standard of everyone follows it and sticks to it, and similar issues have caught me out on Intel x520’s in the past, that came down to driver patching and suddenly almost any transceiver worked perfectly. I can’t blame Ubiquiti for seeking to protect its revenue stream...

    *** Official Ubiquiti Discussion Thread ***

    Anyone using a UDM Pro on a multi gig WAN connection? I realise Ubiquiti now offer its own multigig RJ45 to SFP+ transceiver (UACC-CM-RJ45-MG), any advantage over the MikroTik S+RJ10 for a 2.5Gb WAN? I have a CF 10Gb ONT, so logically I should be able to go direct to a 10Gb transceiver.

    CF just suck at this stage, it’s as procedurally crippled as cable was in the 90’s. They need to own the customer till the install is active, then hand them over to the ISP, but they refuse to do so which makes for a horrible customer experience if/when something goes wrong or on...

    I’m considering it a renewal of my right to hate on Unifi credentials. I’d like to have a more positive opinion of Unifi, but they keep going above and beyond to ensure that’s not easy from a hardware design perspective and the software side always feels like it comes up short beyond the basic...

    Asus mesh solutions

    You know what Chris, your normally right and make sense, so it’s only fair if I am going to disagree, that I do so from equally current personal experience (camera longevity may take a while). So, some time on Wednesday I will be the (proud?) owner of a new UDM Pro and PoE switch. Hopefully...

    Asus mesh solutions

    The lens coatings stopped breaking down and the dreaded purple hue a thing of the past? Can it tell the difference between cats and people reliably now? I kind of feel like non of those should really be questions on hardware at this price point, let alone 3-4 generations in, but they certainly...

    City Fibre

    The new network still has some underlying issues at present, but they are being investigated, hopefully things should settle down and improve next week. I actually prefer my ISP’s to be so boring that I don’t have to interact with them - it’s how I managed to put up with VM for so long

    Asus mesh solutions

    It’s a trap! Don’t fall into it before you at least look at what the same budget will buy you in terms of one of the industry standard solutions eg Hikvision. Too many failures on Ubiquiti hardware and the actual quality/features and how well they work is often disappointing. I’d suggest posting...

    Asus mesh solutions

    You’re right, you need to pay the extra 25 for a pair and go to the x50 for 3 ports. Joys of living in a mixed environment.

    So you mean it acts just like a Deco x20 that cost £100 new for two and have three switch ports, but a pair of XT12’s is over 3x the price new and made by a marketing company with a horrible history when it comes to networking?

    City Fibre

    I can see the logic - most people won’t use/care about the extra speed, as if they did, they’d choose a faster package, and likely would prefer not to pay the extra £99 for the EX820v, those that are bothered can order one afterwards for £99 or do as I do and run your own router, the Flint2...

    City Fibre

    You’ll only get gigabit in on a gigabit WAN port, you’d need the EX820v or other 2.5Gb LAN/WAN capable router to let you do 1.2Gb.

    City Fibre

    Which router/package? If it’s the HX220/1.2/1, then use the built in Speedtest from the web interface on the router to check first (log in, in basic mode it’s top of the initial page, click Speedtest and scroll down), it should - depending on where it selects - pull 900-940Mbit. Once you know...

    Good Cheap Server - HP Proliant Microserver 4 BAY - OWNERS THREAD

    A full SSD is a bad idea on many levels, they shouldn't be run like that and will slow down, especially if dynamically managing cache.

    It wasn’t fun. Its not my story to tell, but they lost IP transit and made the choice to migrate the affected customers to the new transit provider as they were down anyway. I happened to be one of the last to be reconnected this morning, knowing some of the background of what was happening as...
