    What @vivek.krishnan said above. e.g. my topology is roughly as follows: Airtel fiber and ACT fiber (both bridged) -> Opnsense router -> 2.5G switches -> Omada APs Controller at my house is virtualized while its a hardware store(OC200) box at my Dad's house - both perform the same As for pure...

    Wired backhaul and AP/mesh router

    Is the house under construction/ refitting? If yes, get a separate conduit added. Interference avoidance aside (debatable), it's a whole lot easier to pull new cables in /out in a uncrowded dedicated conduit even after several years. Cat6 305ft rolls are typically under 5K and should be enough...

    Guide Why you should install a solar rooftop system

    It isnt per se - There is a fair bit of physical work and manual labor in the setup - Existing scaffolding, unless at the right solar angle will still need some work (depends on your exact location - its approx 19 degress south facing for pune) - The cost of cabling etc is not miniscule (high DC...

    Ethernet Speed not going above 100Mbps with Jiofiber router

    Usually firmware will not impact the port speed relatively easy to check though Connect any of the lan ports directly over a known good cable to a PC and check the negotiated PHY link speed

    The Trumps & Elon tweets thread (Had to make this since it's never ending)

    He is certainly not dumb, just unfit for purpose. His extended family and benaami account would be making merry on AAPL futures rt now waiting for Monday market open. His followers though, well! PS: Electronics is closely followed by machinery/ engg supplies followed by 10% textiles.. the rest...

    ACT Fibernet silently cuts FUP from 3300GB to 1500GB

    Funnily enough, Its a whole lot cheaper to take multiple WAN connections and aggregate them instead. Added benefit of failover which is anyway a must have these days, especially if WFH I currently have Airtel 300 and ACT 500 in load balanced mode plus a local ISP 200 mbps which is not strictly...

    Guide Improving WiFi Stability with Too Many Networks

    No Idea about Jio. I had briefly tried their Airfiber but that unit was so locked out that user cant even see Signal #s on it. Currently I use Airtel and ACT in LB/Failover mode and both are in bridged mode

    Guide Improving WiFi Stability with Too Many Networks

    Unless something has changed recently, it used to be pretty straighforward on airtel I had to log a request to map port 4 to bridged mode and it was done by the end of day. This was a couple of years ago

    The Trumps & Elon tweets thread (Had to make this since it's never ending)

    It's a game of chicken alright.. But IMO there is an issue with the game from an American POV They are by far the most consumerism driven society in the world and the general love for consumption cuts across economic classes. Now a typical MAGA trump voter is more likely to go a Janta bazaar...

    Guide Improving WiFi Stability with Too Many Networks

    5ghz has more bands/less noise but lower penetration vs 2.4 If you change your router to 5ghz only, devices at some distance from the router will get no connectivity at all . Instead of disabling 2.4G altogether, try enabling band steering on your AP (if supported) Else create a separate SSID...

    Impact Drivers

    Mango is soft wood and should have been easy. Whats the exact issue you facing ? Are you not getting enough torque from the driver or is the bit slipping from the screwhead (and in process stripping the head) or is the screw itself getting stripped without any slippage from the bit PS: For...

    Impact Drivers

    Self tapping screws in wood are fairly easy to drive for any screwdriver. Even a 3.6V IXO will do it with pre-drilled holes. Where are you getting your screws from?

    Guide Why you should install a solar rooftop system

    3 phase since my existing supply is 3 phase but you can get up to 5 or 6kw approved for single phase supply also. as for power outages and backup, thats a completely different problem set which is totally unrelated to a solar setup. an on-grid solar setup anyway shuts down when there is a power...

    Guide Why you should install a solar rooftop system

    FWIW, on-grid is the way to go. In MH, electricity rates are pretty high going up to as much as 20/- a unit after the initial low cost brackets. My consumption was between 600-1000 units a month with A simple 5kwh setup, the net payments outflow has gone down from 10-20K a month to 1-3K...
