    Wired backhaul and AP/mesh router

    Not in greater noida, but yes in Mumbai. You would need to provide the additional wires plus pay a bit to the electrician For Lodha World Towers however, they gave the flat in an unfinished condition. All wiring was laid as per our suggestion - wiring in centre of each room for Ubiquiti AP plus...

    Home Networking upgrade for two houses

    Your call - I would prefer to keep the routers separated. I did some checking it was the RPI3 - got mixed up. So if you get the USB NICs it would not be a problem.

    Cost is around 7.5K for a 305m box at market. This is CAT6. This should be your first and primary investment. Ensure that you run wires from the central router to each possible room for future use - important if the rooms are large Single SSID on the cheap, get multiple simple APs, setup with...

    Home Networking upgrade for two houses

    If you want to run both openwrt for each connection separately - suggested for that. If you want to use the same openwrt router to handle both connections, then fine by me. Coming to your second point - the total speed will be capped at 1gbps for each uplink and downlink on the port. If you...

    Need a good fiber router

    What do you need port forwarding for? Change the ISP if they wont allow you to make any changes like WiFi or LAN settings. Best take a static IP plan, they will charge you something like 3K extra yearly, but you should be able to do port forwarding plus more.

    Tailscale won't create a direct connection

    Just disable it on your client machine - this is an eccentric case. IPv6 is usually faster vs v4

    Tailscale won't create a direct connection

    I had to copy an ISO file for MS Office - was facing issue with downloading from VLSC, it took about 90 secs. This was around 11PM or so. The file is around 700 MB. On a 100 mb link. So about 60mbps - not bad. Other updates were also running on the other system.

    Tailscale won't create a direct connection

    second this - DERP has not been a bottleneck. Using it as a fallback to IPSEC (behind NAT)

    Cheap domain name and VPS sellers for Pangolin?

    For VPS - Racknerd I think is cheap and recommended. In India - I think DigiRDP is what you need for local peering performance @SayantanGR is more knowledgeable on this. For domain - .ovh is what I use. Will look at .dev as well.

    Flipkart Deals and Discounts - 2025

    OT - but avoid taking laptops which wont sell here in numbers, getting spares, even batteries is a massive PITA - need to be imported only. Issues faced with LG Gram, earlier Samsung models. ASUS Zenbook spares are exorbitantly high.

    ECC RAM compatibility

    Just saw this thread randomly, hence the delay in reply AFAIK there is no penalty in using ECC on unsupported platforms, with the exception of minor speed reductions. Its akin to using non ECC memory in all respects. I would suggest to try non ECC memory and see if you can notice any speedups.
