I'm not sure I follow. You can terminate your cables into wall mounted sockets just like your electrics. What's the issue with this?

do i actually need a router? in c/[email protected]

No, because a switch can't route traffic from one point to another. Specifically, it can't do NAT. Without NAT you can only have 1 device connected to the internet.

Looking to know why my modem is all green? in c/[email protected]

If you move it and it changes behaviour, that's some sort of bad mechanical contact. Cabling, socket.

The previous owners of my house ran two Ethernet cables from the fiber modem to a point near the center of the house, where they enter the wall... and apparently never exit it. in c/[email protected]

Are you sure you know all the rooms in your home? Is the house bigger on the outside than you can account for on the inside?

Are you behind cgnat?

Should link speed (in pc network settings) match the speed you're buying from your ISP? in c/[email protected]

Can you post a screenshot of everything? Can't tell what the link is. Your PC to the router? Your router to the WAN?

Use vlans to create a dmz you can place a server only for public Internet facing stuff.

Wifi 6e access point recommendations (alien.top)
 

Now that black friday is pretty much here I've decided to do away with the ISP provided wifi router and I'm in the market for a wifi 6e access point. I already have an opnsense box at the ready to do the router part, the ISP's wifi router is in AP mode.

For reasons I can't change I can't wire the house for ethernet, I have no coax and I already have powerline which works alright but far from great and doesn't hit the spot. The AP has to be inside of a cupboard with 3 solid walls around it plus a wooden door that signals have to punch through.

I have never bought any wifi hardware so I'm a little lost on brands and whatnot. What I'm after:

  • Wifi 6e
  • Longish range
  • Sub-200

I realise it's probably a "pick 2" situation since 6e is relatively new and uncommon. I'm not after mesh systems, they'd be useless given the problem I'm trying to solve

Why cant i reach my server via WAN/Internet? in c/[email protected]

You contradict yourself on paragraphs 5 and 7. First you say it's reachable from the outside then it isn't.

Synology vs Custom build? Am I doing it wrong? in c/[email protected]

DIY always better for an all around server which is a nas but also a application server.

I have an old i7-7700T with 32gb ram in a fractal node 304 case, running Ubuntu and 3x4tb drives in zfs raidz1. There's little it can't handle.
