There are really two elements that need to be addressed so that you can access your parent's computer remotely. First, you have to gain access to their network. This could be as simple as opening/forwarding a port on their router/firewall, but this is a very insecure method of gaining access...

BoGs is exactly right. I will add some explanation to his post however because if you are not knowledgeable about these things, you probably won't fully understand what he is saying. 1) You need to tell the DHCP DNS servers to be pihole - if your guest devices are getting their IP address...

If you lost 256gb of memory, there is still 128gb unaccounted for. Keep looking. ;)

I was disappointed in how your recent post started..... That being said, at least this post has more context than your post. No one has any idea of what you are talking about.

It's been a while since I set up a self hosted VPN service on my network. (Because it has simply worked reliably since I set it up initially). I do know that you have to specify which subnets you want to be able to access over the VPN connection. Many online guides just use the LAN subnet...

Brocade L3 functionality is determined by the type of firmware version you are using, not by a license you install. There is a "switch" firmware and a "router" firmware. In order to get L3 functionality, you need to install the router firmware. You can still use the switch as a "layer 2"...

Is the problem with your Proxmox network setup? Louie1961's example is a great snapshot into what you need. First, it is important to realize that while it is easy to add a vlan tag on the default bridge adapter being used in a VM or LXC container, you cannot simply add a vlan tag on the...

Is the switch rebooting when this happens (ie does the switch reset with the fans blowing at full blast for 5 minutes while it boots), or does the switch just kick you out without rebooting? How quickly can you reestablish the connection when the connection drops?

While using the TP-link controller will give you more granular control and features when roaming, it is not required for basic roaming functionality. If you simply connect both APs to your network and set the SSIDs up identically, individual clients will be able to roam between them. They just...

The term "mesh network" (in the context of wireless access points) is generally used when some of the individual wireless access points (APs) are not hardwired into the network, but act instead like "wireless repeaters." These "repeaters" rely on the wireless system itself to connect to the...

Fair enough. You know your situation and what you expect from it. I understand how adding the CCTV switch is adding an extra hop to the data to get to/from the router and an additional failure point, but I don't think it is a problem. With what is likely a relatively small number of devices...

The point I'm trying to make is that #2 is completely unneeded. Your firewall/router currently provides routing rules (called ACL when implemented at the switch level), DHCP, NTP services, etc to your existing LAN network. It can do the same thing for your new VLAN network as well...

I guess I still am not following the desired set up. If the CCTV equipment and NVR are going to be on a physically separate LAN network, then connecting all of those devices to a network switch set up with layer 3 functionality could certainly make things easier because there is no need for a...

What are you currently using for your router/firewall? Odds are the easiest solution is to create the VLANs on the router/firewall and let that device manage them (ie with rules, DHCP, etc set up in the firewall/router). When set up like this, you will leave the switch in "layer 2 mode"...

Yeah, I purchased a new machine a few months back and needed RAM for it. I was looking for 64gb or 96gb of DDR5 ram so it was never going to be "cheap". Still I was being patient, waiting on a "good deal" to materialize. Luckily when nothing came up over a month or so (including a "holiday")...

Definitely something to consider, but you can always use an external Wireless AP if getting external antennas limits the choices too much. I realize that adds expense, complexity, and bulk to the overall system, but you can get some pretty decent used APs now for almost nothing. Some of the...

The GL-iNet travel routers absolutely allow you to both connect to an existing Wifi network (for WAN) AND create your own private LAN WiFi/wired network at the same time. It's one of the really great things about these devices - you can do both at the same time. Most regular Wifi routers will...

My advice (having just gone through this myself) is to ping the intermediate steps if you can't ping the destination. I'm sure that concept is "Day 1" stuff for someone actually trained in IT, but if you are a self taught home user like me, it might not be something you have considered before...

I have two 7250 - one that works fine and the other has multiple POE power failures and the MS LED on the front of the switch is orange instead of green. I've posted the errors below. I also happen to have several 6610s and a 6450 that are not beig used right now. Does anyone know if it is...

I get that, but the fact that your system only works when you added the "allow all" rule obviously means that something is "wrong" with your rules. Perhaps they are set as incoming rules when they should be outgoing rules or vice versa or perhaps you need a mixture of both. There is no right...
