That looks pretty straightforward, what are you using for the ipsec client?

How many pins does it have? I can only count 7, which is probably not correct. Ethernet (rj45) is 8 pins and POTS rj12 is 6.

That is probably the oldest switch I’ve ever seen still in operation, really cool find.

Anyhow that guy doesn’t have anything to do with wifi per se, but it has relatively slow interfaces (Fast Ethernet!), so you could be saturating a port or something. Switches are cheap and easy to replace, might be worth it just to for the fun of the project.

More than likely though, the wireless router is jammed in the rack and should just be moved so it can breathe a little and propagate signal a bit better.

This is the correct answer. RJ12, not RJ45. :)

Netflix has special servers in most ISPs data centers that cache the most popular content so you don’t have to go ‘all the way over the Internet’ to stream your show, just the same building your traffic already goes to for internet ingress.

On top of this, Netflix has special video codecs designed to minimize bandwidth usage while preserving video quality.

Finally, yes, Netflix has massive Internet pipes for everything not cached ‘near you’.

Have you tried testing the record (home.mydomain.com) in your local host file to remove DNS as a possible culprit?

E. Also might be worth double checking where your containers are going for their DNS requests if you’re getting an NXDOMAIN response.

E2. NXDOMAIN responses can poison your local DNS cache for the entire zone until the TTL expiry period elapses. Known as negative caching. Might be worth testing with nslookup pointed directly to public DNS services.

Sounds like maybe you got a dud? They really should have zero issues connecting over a straight coax, especially in your 1ft test.

I use two different brands, just generic Amazon crap, and have had zero issues with MoCA and 100+’ runs. I don’t use them in a mesh though, which is where you are more likely to run into splitter issues, instead using them as basically media point-to-point converters for my wired lan. I think you’re trying something similar, which is why I suspect a possible faulty gizmo.

It’s pretty rare for a standard cable modem to support bonding (LACP), however some aftermarket ones do. It’s worth poking around in the settings to be sure. Most managed switches do, so you’re probably fine there.

With that said, with rare exception, you still cannot exceed 1gbit for a single flow even with multiple 1gbit uplink interfaces, meaning you won’t see any improvements on individual devices, but could see improvements in your overall network performance.

E. I can get in to the specifics of why that limitation exists on bonded interfaces if you’re interested, but didn’t want to bog you down with unnecessary minutiae.

I use MoCA adapters myself in a point to point topology (also called home run) and couldn’t be happier. I can pull 2.5 gbit over twenty year old coax.

And MoCA 3.0 will support 10gbit!! Absolutely Wild!!

Long and short, you need to configure the VPN Server section, if your router supports it. Looking at the documentation, I think OpenVPN would be the most likely supported protocol, but it’s unclear if your router is client only, or also supports hosting as well.

Once that is configured, you’d install the appropriate client, again likely OpenVPN, on the system you will be connecting from. Once VPN is established, you’d just open RDP like normal and target the destination device based on its local IP.

You can also install OpenVPN on an internal server and simply expose the correct ports to the Internet, but that is significantly more complicated than using a canned service on your router.

Should work like you’re outlining in principle, but client roaming between different brands of access points can be spotty in my experience, which can result in an occasional brief disruption for them. Usually manifests as a simple ‘connected’ -> ‘disconnected’ -> ‘connected’ status change.

Outside of that one annoyance, it should just work as long as the ssid is configured the same in both platforms.

To answer the first question, you would have internet on your ps4 if you used a powerline adapter to connect it into your modem/wifi router.

To the second point, a wifi powerline adapter works similarly, but actually acts as an Access Point, which would put a wireless network in the air for you to connect to and then back haul the traffic over your powerlines to your modem/existing wifi router.

If you are considering powerline adapters, I would encourage you to look into MoCA adapters instead. They use your existing coax lines (cable tv) and generally provide a faster and more stable experience.

I went Ubiquity about 6-8 years ago and I can honestly say it’s one of the best choices I’ve made. I started small with just a single AP and grew from there. Currently have 4 of their wired switches, three APs and a security gateway.

The hardware and features are great, but I really like how long they seem to support legacy equipment, I have 5 year old APs that still get security updates periodically.

E. Also they support wireless meshing right out of the box, which can help simplify the process of extending your wifi signal to hard to reach places.

Originally thought it was a Ground wire, but upon closer inspection I see it’s likely just a sheeth that houses a red and black wire. My guess is doorbell in that case.

If they didn’t staple the existing runs, pretty easy, just disconnect one end, tie some nylon pullstring to it, and pull the opposite side through until you reach the string. Then simply tie it to the new cable and reverse the process.

If they stapled the existing runs, then damn near impossible without ripping some walls open.

E. I would strongly advise against tying the cables directly together. You risk damaging both cables and the knot is much much larger that way, meaning you’re likely to get stuck somewhere. Also I can’t describe how defeating it is to wrestle with a cable for two hours only to realize it was damaged in the process when you finally get it though.
