Why dont you position the switch backwards if you're going to bend all the cables behind anyway?

unless you often plug in and out in which case I guess for convenience

your wan ip is the ip used to communicate outside of your house, you are not supose to give it out, though its easy to get with a direct connection.
The mods on 4chan can see it.

I was just being a smartass because it could be used to find potentially vulnerable shit at your house and hax you.

It kinda sucks because they block or filter tons of ports so I can't run an OpenVPN server or anything.

The shitty Netgear router that comes with Virgin Media, as you can't change it for a better one, and the whole house uses wifi apart from my desktop. It doesn't have reliable wifi so I had to set up a bridge (out of a pi because poorfag) and attach my desktop via ethernet to it. Works like a charm, and I only need one address on the bridge as it's a separate network.

Theres ways around it.
Hows the upload speed?
>>
>>57308608
I don't get all technical like that. Probably DHCP because each device plugged into the switch is assigned a different IP.
>>

what's the point of that router, why not cable modem and parents pc straight into the switch

There isn't a point for his second router. Besides autism.

A mikrotik hPa Routerbox with a D-Link switch

Pretty basic but does the job
>>
>>57308659
oh shit, that router below is his main router, now i realize

But what the fuck is that upper router doing, it's not even used?
>>
>>57308650
Because the cable modem, its router, and my parents' PC are on the first floor. My network switch and router are on the third floor. So I'd have to run two additional ethernet cables through the house.
>>57308659
Yes there is. The first router can't be reached on the third floor. So I have my own router up there so if I need to look up shit on my phone, I don't need to use data. Also helps to test wifi connections of laptops and shit like that.

>>57308743
Both routers are. I neglected to mention that my parents' laptops and phones connect wirelessly to the first router. And if my siblings are home they'll also connect their devices to that one. The second router idles except when I need it (for my phone, or to test wifi on a customer's laptop or something along those lines.)

I'm connected to the uni's network, which gives public IPs through DHCP. You can configure online if you want your IP to be accessible through a hostname (name.student.utwente.nl), then the IP becomes static.

After that I have a dumb gigabit switch which connects my PC, and another managed 24-port gigabit switch further away that connects to my TV, IPTV set top box and a laptop, connected to a monitor, which acts as kind of a dashboard (upcoming classes, weather etc). There's also an AP connected to this switch, because eduroam is a bit slow.

There are also a few loose cables connected to the dumb switch in case I ever want to connect my laptop or something.

>Modem
Netgear CG-3000D-RG (shitty ISP provided modem)

>Router
Asus RT-AC66R

>Switch
Netgear GS105E


2 computers in the den are ethernet wired into the netgear switch.
1 computer in the den is wired into the Asus.
1 printer is wired directly into the Asus.
1 NAS is wired directly into the Asus.
All wireless devices connect through the Asus.


Am I doing anything wrong (besides the modem)? I'm thinking about dropping the $150 to buy an SB6190 modem and sending the ISP's shitty one back to them. Worth it?

Arris SBG6900-AC modem/router combo and an unmanaged switch because I am lazy. I have two cheap wifi routers in other parts of the home I use as access points. Max devices i've ever had was about 30 during a party and the Arris and AP Routers handled it like champs.

I am a network admin by trade, and honestly just like plug-n-play at my home. Most of my co-workers are the same. It's not a hobby for me.

The cable management is horrid, too many cable technicians have raped it before I moved into this house. It works though and I am too lazy to fix it.

Was running only the thomson for a long while and it kinda worked until the point we had a thousand wireless devices in the house, had to bridge to the linksys so i could get a hold of QoS, now shit is decent but i'm a beginner at fiddling in the router and i don't like the dd-wrt forum, it's shit for finding good help & guides.
