Remembering So I Don't Have To
I’m late writing this. On July 18 of this year I confirmed upgrading my ISP to 3 Gbps. I have two UniFi 6E AP’s and my desktop PC has a 5 Gbps Ethernet adapter. Yet my router, switches, and by extension the AP’s all run at 1 Gbps.
What am I waiting for? A drop in prices or a magic sale I think. I need a 48 port fully managed PoE compatible switch that supports copper multi-gig. And I need two GBIC transceivers that run at 2.5 Gbps (because that’s the max my SonicWall supports).
Wish me luck.
Dropped WAN packets like crazy. Called Spectrum. Took two technicians to figure out the line between the outside box and my Arris modem was bad. I moved it to a backup location (a better RG-59 cable) and problem solved.
Meanwhile I’m wondering what caused the original cable to go bad. Then I recall that some years ago I had to cut it and put two ends on it and a female-female connector. I’m sure the connection steadily degraded over the years and caused noise. Remember kids, always use pre-made cables wherever possible.
