Your sales are legendary, folks are even willing to time travel to reach them :D

I agree, nothing to do with availability. I can confirm though, it's having an impact. We recently had some struggles obtaining a bunch for a rather large fiber rollout, I can only imagine the pain felt by the larger players :)

More likely a serial console port...

That card would do ya, but as mentioned, it's on the more tasty end of the price scale, I guess it's the "badge tax". It's basically just one of many, many Realtek RTL8125 ref designs. They all work just fine with the Realtek drivers, run cooler and are power efficient, just pick one that's...

Stop overthinking this! Go with any of the RTL8156 based cards you find on Amazon, that's within your budget. Sure, Realtek earned its reputation early on, but their latest stuff using their own drivers, is decent and performs well enough, for anything not "mission critical" :)

Whichever one you settle on, make sure it has decent airflow, they all run toasty, especially the multi-rate cards :)

I would take a guess and say it's MAC binding on the ONT Port. You only have a single IP Address assigned, so when it grabs it will bind the MAC address of whatever is connected to it, and thereafter only talk to that MAC address. Sometimes just flapping the connection will reset it, if you give...

Happy days then :) 1.5dBmW optical loss on your path is actually pretty good, and well within Bell's parameters. There's zero chance of Bell replacing that drop! It is a bit of a quandry though for VMedia, they should be supplying you with a replacement gateway, capable of providing the speed...

Being able to only see the light level reported by the ONT, is pretty much useless. Unless that is, you have a birth certificate for when the original path was verified, or happen to know the input power of the shortest wavelength being carried, what splitters it passes through enroute, how many...

Dirty connections or poor splices are your only real enemies here, as far as the physical stuff goes. There's a million other issues that can be at play in the software/ firmware GPON/ XGS-PON realm, that can cause all manner of headaches. I would have your ISP create a ticket with Bell to get...

Those LED indicators just mean that the link has been established as either 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps or 10Gbps. As you have a 10Gbps port on the Router connected, the link is up at 10Gbps. Obviously, you'll only get whatever speed the the ONT has been provisioned for :) To test from the ONT, connect a...

Make sure there are no tight bends on the fiber, either in the demarc or going to your ONT. Make sure the fiber ends (I'll assume APC SC type here) are not damaged and are really clean, check with a scope. Try running your wired speed test right from the ONT, same result?

In a typical install, your drop will be filtered and go to a primary splitter. One port on that splitter goes to a combi modem/ router/ switch (typically called the gateway device by ISP's). The other either heads off to another distribution splitter or perhaps just a single STB for TV. All of...

woooaaaah there hossie...back up a bit... What exactly are you trying to accomplish here? Are you trying to distribute MoCA in the home and using media converters at the endpoints to change back to Ethernet? Clearly define what you are trying to do...

Sponsored or not, I watched just for another dose of @Patrick 's awesome enthusiasm, which definitely comes across in the video, always cheers me up ;)

At a guess, that backplane might also be used for a drop in cage, where only a single 120mm fan is normally bolted on the back. You should be able to just piggyback a wire from an output signal on a mainboard driven fan, to the appropriate pin on the backplane, to fool it into thinking there's...

I bought 2 of these a while back, never had any issues with disk detection or anything else. After updating initially, they went right into service and have been faultless since :)

OMG, step away from the edge! :D

AV1 is one of the latest compression standards available for video, think better than h.264 or x.265 etc. If you are planning on transcoding to that for clients, you'll need something a bit beefier in the graphics card, to handle that in real time.

Keystone carriers and jacks are a little more expensive overall, not much, but offer the ability to mix media on the same rack. For example, 8 RJ45, 8 F-81 and 8 fiber on a 24 port frame. So your panel could handle Camera's, Satellite TV and links to outbuildings etc all on the same frame. A...
