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...
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...

To go that distance you will be running “Single Mode OS2” fiber. At that distance it will benefit you to run raw (unterminated) 12 or 24 strand ribbon fiber and pay to have it terminated.
It is unlikely that the entire length will actually be a single pull through conduit and/or aerial...
I have a WD drive (pr4100 pro model) but their mycloud app works on all their current drive.
I have the WD MyCloud app installed on my iPhone and it automatically uploads all my photos every time I connect to WiFi.
No workarounds, it just works.
I had a Synology NAS before. Synology’s nas...
And the fact that having multiple AP’s with decent coverage from 2 AP’s without seamless roaming just plain doesn’t work.
The lack of real seamless roaming on UniFi is the #1 reason I installed 10 unifi wifi networks and then replaced them with open-mesh or mikrotik setups.
A better router for gaming?
To fix the router that’s causing the issue you’ll have to talk to the upstream providers your ISP interconnects with and offer them $$$$ to upgrade the routers and pay for peering deals.
Unless your router is from 2003 and/or you have lots of Wi-Fi interference your...
First turn off bridge mode on your personal router and use it in router mode. The WAN will pick up an address via DHCP, at this point it will be a private IP address. Make sure that your personal router’s private address pool is something other than 192.168.1.xxx. For example, use...
Disclaimer: I am an AT&T employee and the statement below is in no way directly or indirectly endorsed by AT&T and is in whole my opinion.
Turn off WOL on your computer.
AT&T field practice is to separate all IPTV traffic onto a separate switch if you aren’t using a switch that supports QOS...
Likely could be, typically an RG6 drop to the house is only good for 100-150ft. Any longer and it should be an RG11 drop.
If your drop is already RG11 or is shorter than 150ft I would say there is a problem in the neighborhood. Edit: assuming you already did all the normal things like make...
Your downstream SNR is a little low but not bad. You aren’t getting an excessive amount of errors and your upstream power level is good.
Do you have cable TV boxes too? If you don’t have tv boxes make sure that you don’t have a splitter at all, just a direct line from the drop to your modem...
No, the mikrotik is a smart switch that has a proper switch chip for line-rate switching and has hardware based VLAN’s, LACP and STP. The line he referred to was the CSS line so it runs the lightweight SwitchOS which relies solely on the switch chip not the CPU running the web config.
Mikrotik Routerboard CSS326-24G-2S+RM
LACP (hardware based, not software based like RouterOS used to be) and it’s got 2x 10gb SFP+ ports. Silent and low power. They run switchos which is pretty lightweight but it handles VLAN’s and LACP just fine.
I’ve been running 3 of them for quite a...
Below are the main things I use to get through any wall in a house. You can fish through anything with this stuff, fire stops and all. I don’t believe in running conduit through closets, it’s the wrong way to do things.
The key is the technique of cutting in jacks stacked on top of each other...
Yep, that’s what I’m assuming. That’s why my employer requires 12+ character alpha-numeric passwords on our company devices. They use MobileIron management software on iOS devices because it allows them developer level access to iOS. I’m sure any good coder that has access to source code...
And that’s why I use Open-Mesh for clients that need multiple AP’s. An AP can act as the router, the other AP’s can be wired or wireless ( it detects which connection to use automatically, no configuration necessary) and they have L7 analysis enabled by default.
Did I mention Open-Mesh is...
Let’s be clear here, AFAIK the entire test was PTMP. A radio with an external antenna (not necessarily outside, but I believe directional antenna external to the radio) going to a router.
If this is true then it was meant for replacing your home internet without the wired connection to the WAN...
Is there a reason you can’t fish the drops through the wall and use a passthru style double gang wall plate with a low voltage cut-in box?

This is normal for a handheld device over LTE while moving rapidly. Long story short it’s because the antennas in handheld devices suck.
The issue is caused by the device having signal from one tower & being too far to broadcast back to the old tower while joining the new tower tower...
Okay, you aren’t listening. The networks card is fine, the drivers suck. This is confirmed by running Linux and getting good speeds.
Look and see what kind of network card is integrated, I’ll bet it’s a Realtek. Windows Realtek drivers are especially bad.
I deal with this problem so much I...
Why is that a problem? PCI-E is PCI-E, doesn’t matter if it has one or 2 network ports. The pro/1000 is one of the most widely supported with the best drivers.
Your networking settings don’t need tweaking, you need an Intel PCI-E NIC.
The Windows Realtek drivers suck.
I see the issue about once a month with chronic speed testers. The crappy drivers are maxing out the CPU or at least one core. Add the stupid HTML5 speed tests into the CPU cycles and...
If you want it to last you need direct burial, armored, gel filled cat5.
You then bond the armor at both ends to a ground with a floating bond.
Then you need an Ethernet lightning arrestor at each end.

If the road was built by the government and funded by taxes the price should be a set price per axle, not passenger.
If the road was built by a private company I guess they can do whatever they want. Personally I wouldn’t ever give them my money no matter what though.
