If you have a laptop with a NIC you can plug directly into your modem and check your speed. This will take out all of the other hops along the way. Use the same cable you're using now to go from your modem to the first velop router. If you're getting close to your max bandwidth plugged into...

I'm not in the wifi 6 world yet. I'm waiting till I need it in my life, until I have to upgrade, or until prices come down.

For what it's work, I second ch33zw1z. You're on the right track and since you had to ask, definately keep it simple (unmanaged switch)

I have LinkSys Velop with two jacks on the bottom. I can only speak to this, but they all should be similar. The mesh systems are made to expand wireless throughout a house with or without capability to connect the individual nodes to a wire. They should have at least two wireless...

Good info. Out of curiosity I looked at the Lorex cameras I would probably replace mine with today (if I were replacing my NVR), and they are 20fps. I'm not planning on replacing anything right now unless I have to, but I'll be looking for at least 30fps when I do.

I bought a Lorex Systems that came with eight cameras. Some LNB3153s and some and LND3152s. I bought it in 2014, installed in 2015 so they're HD/ 1080P. The system has been pretty rock solid except for the original Hard Drive. It failed so I replaced it with two non-purple hard drives and I...

Ok, you said they "terminate" in the utility room. Does that mean you put RJ 45s on all of them or are they just hanging there? The right way and the best was to do this is to get a punch down panel. In addition to neatness, once its done correctly and tested this means you won't have to...

You didn't mention what kind of POE camera system you're using. I have a LOREX NVR with 16 channels. As long as the cameras are on the same network/ IP space my NVR finds them. So, I have the main NVR connected. Six cameras connect directly to the NVR, but the NVR gets its connection to...

If you purchase a mesh system with the capability of a wired backhaul then use it. As for moving the primary node, I don't think which one is primary matters. You said you want coverage in your basement you'll probably want one down there anyway. With the wired backhaul all your nodes should...

Sounds like mesh is the way to go. I'll just say you only need two Ethernet ports on a mesh router. 1) If you're going to do a wired backhaul between the devices and 2) the second one could run switch (i.e. 8 port POE). I've been using Linksys Velop for a few years now . Two of my nodes run...

Yea, 1900 square feet doesn't really give enough info. Is it a two story town house or a long ranch? Is your router centered in the house or off to one corner. Chances are most routers with give you signal in all parts of your house, but as the signal drops, often the bandwidth drops too...

You're getting a lot of responses about what's best to do. It's like going to an AR-15 build forum and getting responses that will cost you $2,000+ dollars. Sounds like all you want to do is shoot some bullets and hit the target at 100 yards, not 400 yards. Get a mesh system that doesn't...

Yea, that's kind of a mess. I guess you need to ask your customer what they want. Most people probably just want it to work for them (whatever their requirements are) and don't care what it looks like or if it's correct. If I just moved into this house and I inherited it I'd do it right...

I think you have your answers about your network. On the other hand, if I were you I'd also be happy to have the simple access to the interior centralized cable distribution. I did this in my house that I had built. It has allowed me to do a couple of things. I am not a cord cutter so I...

Mesh...research and buy one of the out-of-the-box mesh systems that are in the market now. Lots of options. For me it was Linksys Velop.

Just an additional piece of information. My connection in the garage with the Velop set-up is strong enough/fast enough that I'm able to plug in a PoE switch to one of the ports on the bottom of the Velop and run two PoE 1080p cameras that connect to my Lorex NVR and record 24x7/365. The...

My house is 110 feet from side to side (one side is an in-law apartment) with a metal roof and some second story areas. I had the house built. When we first moved in I had one pretty stout wireless router in the middle "comm closet", but I still had some low-signal spots on both sides of the...

For visual...there's actually and elevation change (house is higher) that adds a foot or two.

I use Linksys Velop nodes to do exactly what you're saying. I have three that use a wired backhaul in the house, but the one on the west side of my house communicates wirelessly to a fourth Velop node. It's about 85 ft from node to node. Direct line of sight it goes through two brick walls...

You'll probably be chasing your tail until you bite the bullet and go to a mesh network. Since you have Ethernet througout the house you'll be able to take advantage of one of the mesh systems with a wired backhaul. For this reason, and others I went with Linksys Velop. It's been a couple of...

I'd do everything I can to put a new wire in for end-to-end continuity. I'd probably see if I could tape the new cable to the old cable and just start pulling from the source with any assistance I could give it along the route. But, if I decided it was nearly impossible my preferences would be...

Someone earlier mentioned that it depended on how your garage was wired and that was relevant because, from my understanding these things don't work beyond your power panel. I guess the signal gets scattered. So, it shouldn't work anywhere else like your neighbor's house or even if you had...

I have a detached garage that is futher than 50 feet away. I use Linksys Velop nodes to get seamless handoff from the house to the garage and the outside area between the house and the building. But pretty much any of the new mesh network solutions should work. The velop node in my garage...

Unless the hotel is next door to the hotel you're not going to be able to connect to your wifi. You need to set up the Roku device to use the hotel's wifi network. This is done using the settings and the Roku app on your phone. But, if you had your teenager set up the Roku for you at the...

Open walls is also a good time to think about POE full time survalliance cameras (interior or exterior) and where you would want the DVR.

I didn't run two wires, but when I built my ranch house (mostly one story) I used "Smurf tube" from the wall box to the attic space (to stick out of the insulation). My hope is this would allow me to make repairs or future upgrades (in theroy).'...

If your domain is using a firewall to block websites instead of a proxy server (they shouldn't) then they're blocking traffic from internal traffic to the categories they select in the firewall settings. I think when you say "private IP" you mean a "static IP" as opposed to one provided by...

It looks like this was wired up for distribute telephones to each room. That doesn't mean it can't be used for networking, but like someone said you'll need to rewire it. You can get a network punch down panel (one that has RJ-45 jacks on the other side of the punch down) and then at least an...

Sounds like either you want to cheat or you suspect someone of cheating. Seems there would be other ways to troubleshoot wireless problems. That aside, my use of Wireshark is limited. Good luck.

One final thought, I have an detatched garage...where I have a fourth Velop that is connected to the Mesh network wirelessly through the West Velop (I didn't extend my wired network to that building). From that wireless connection I'm able to run a POE mini-switch where I have two 1080p POE...

I will add that the Velops have two ports on the bottom. One can be used for the wired backhaul and you can attach a device to the second one - either one computer/laptop or a mini-switch if needed. I have a mini-switch attached to my East Velop and it runs my laptop and a Smart TV.

I did this with Linksys Velop. I have three of them and they run in bridge mode for the Main LinkSys WRT1900AC (wifi not broadcasting). I tried using the Velop routers alone, but this works better. All three Velops are wired to the WRT1900AC. The WRT1900AC is in the comm closet with one of...

You probably want to tell us what camera you're using. I think the IP Camera I used to use I had to type in the port so it was something like http://192.168.1.23:8080. It's been a while. You might want to get in on some of the new camera systems like Arlo.

I run Linksys Velop in bridge mode - three wired nodes in the house (5000 sq ft ranch with two upstairs bonus rooms) and one wireless node in a detached building (connects back through one of the wired nodes in the house so it's on the same network). It's been doing great since I went to the...

I think you're missing some keys of business and economy of the times. I'm not sure how old you are, but my first computer in 1995 had 8 mb of memory, a 1 GB hard drive (that someone told me was all I would ever need) and a 14,400 baud modem which I used AOL and I forget the exact plan and it...

I had a custom home built and did the network cabling myself. You can see my post here: http://www.portvapes.co.uk/?id=Latest-exam-1Z0-876-Dumps&exid=threads/my-home-wiring-closet.2509775/ Would your contractor allow you access to the site over a weekend to do some cabling yourself? I've heard that some won't (maybe most)...

I use Velop to get Internet to my detached garage. My point-to-point distance is only around 85 feet. The two Velops sit near windows, but in reality probably have to push through brick on both sides. I the detached side, I've placed a POE switch off one of the Velop ports which allows me to...

I don't know why you haven't gotten any replies, but from where I sit at work, I can't see your picture. Not sure if it's a link problem or if it's my work network security. From your description, it doesn't sound ideal. Also, do you have power in the closet?

I have been using the Linksys Velop for almost a year now because I wanted a wired backhaul system. I had similar issues and other issues so I went back to using my WRT1900AC and my main router (wireless on, but not broadcasting from the 1900) and use the Velops (4 of them) in bridge mode. One...

I feel like I'm late...eight days is a lifetime in the build of a house and when you have the rest of the internet as a resource. There a lot of YouTube videos on this subject including why you need/should use a punchdown panel before going to your switch. I went through a custom build a few...
