I use a Mikrotik Routerboard RBLHGR&R11e-LTE-US on AT&T for a backup connection at my house and a Mikrotik Routerboard RBwAPR-2nD&R11e-LTE-US as a primary connection at a cabin. Both work great.

Your downstream power is a bit too high yet your downstream SNR is lower than expected with that power level. I would expect to see SNR of 43-45dB with a 9-10dB power level. Upstream power is in spec. Since I don’t see any OFDMA channels I’m assuming that’s your DOCSIS 3.0 modem not the...

You could have some splitter or barrel connector somewhere that isn’t rated for the required frequency range. Or you have a crimp fitting instead of a compression somewhere. All your barrels should have a blue center and the splitter should be rated at least 5-1218MHz. If all that checks out...

Your upstream power is too high, most providers specify no higher than 49db, some say 47db is the absolute limit. If nothing in your house has changed and you only have a regular splitter (not an amp) then it is likely 1 of a few things outside. 1. Your drop is either defective or too long for...

Sounds like you may have a grounding potential difference between the pump house and the main house. What is the coax ground block actually grounded to? At that distance having a ground potential difference isn’t uncommon and makes lightning damage more likely. Personally I would get a single...

Mikrotik Routerboard RBmAP2nD Supports the requested DC voltage input on the DC barrel connector, can also be USB powered or 802.3at/af powered.

Why does everyone forget: 10GBaseT is rated to run on cat5e for 45 Meters Cat6 is is only rated for 55 meters10gb and Cat6a is 100 meters Bottom line? Cat6 is useless over cat5 and the majority of runs of cat5e will carry 10GBaseT just fine. Most runs of cat5e in houses 2000sq ft or less...

MikroTik CRS305-1G-4S+IN Has 4x SFP+ ports for 10gb and a 10/100/1000 copper port for connection to your existing switch. Hands down cheapest way to get 10gb connectivity to 4 devices and connectivity to 1gb devices over the same 10gb link with no special IP setup on the device.

Google’s location works through your DNS. Google will return different addresses for google.com based on where the DNS request originates from. The problem lies with the DNS server you are using.

Agreed Wi-Fi adapters suck! They are resource hogs and the drivers across multiple OS’ vary in quality and stability. Hands down best solution if you have decent Wi-Fi signal? 802.11AC bridge, Ethernet to devices. #2 is Moca #3 is powerline

If you could swing and extra $50 you can get a Mikrotik CRS317-1G-16S+RM for about $350 shipped. 16x SFP+ ports and the fans only run when it heats up.

The CRS series running RouterOS (which enables the use of L3 features) typically is quite slow although that is changing with their larger POE switches utilizing the ARM 98DX3236 such as the CRS328-24P-4S+RM. The "Test Results" tab on their product description page shows pretty decent...

There are two main lines of Mikrotik switches: CSS: uses a lightweight GUI interface called swOS, supports hardware LACP, VLAN tagging, STP and a few other things. Key word is lightweight, L2 only. CRS: same physical hardware as the CSS only they support very limited speed L3 support and lack...

For the value these splice closures are pretty good: https://www.fs.com/products/29056.html For the rack: https://www.fs.com/products/34684.html https://www.fs.com/products/35488.html https://www.fs.com/products/35526.html...
