Fritzbox-Fernzugriff: Wie du das digitale Scheunentor schließen kannst

My flurry of network rework this week has wrapped up pretty well. 😃
It was all in aid of moving a WiFi access point to the other side of a concrete(garage) wall to improve the reception on that side of the house. That move meant orphaning several Ethernet cables that used its hardware ports tho'.
A bit of juggling and it's working nicely - and without buying another switch.
A network is never really finished, but hopefully it's stable for a few months or so.
To answer my own question after researching most of today:
We are just going to use the CAT6 terminations/ends - the custom CAT 7 terminations by the company consortium is overpriced BS (IMHO)

Question: Now that I have the #CAT7 & #CAT6 ran in the house, do I splurge for the CAT 7 termination/ends, keystones, panel, etc. or do I just use the CAT 6 that I have on hand/procured?
I ran both to the drops, now to terminate - wall plates & patch panel. procured shielded CAT 6, started shopping for CAT 7 and the sticker shock for someone who is unemployed.... :skull_mindblown:

Explicación sencilla del protocolo #mDNS y como lo implementa @mikrotik en #RouterOS se agradece que las marcas hagan vídeos que no solo vendan productos sino que también incorporen algo de "enseñanza", para mí es un valor añadido https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=pbW94FMYB9wUqKDa&v=ys9MZpHDdDk&feature=youtu.be
Pulled huge lengths of coax cable out of the nooks and crannies of our house today. I have no need for it now or in the future.
Two more cables disappear into a wall to destinations unknown, and another goes to a known place, but is not moving at all so may have to remain.
One convoluted route is attractive for a future cat6 cable so I pulled a string through with that one and tagged it.
I hate mystery wires. Can't imagine where these ones would go.
I hope this is the right place to ask, but there is this TV/Radio antennae plug in our Den - Unfortunately it looks like someone cut the line where it comes out of the house near the old TV antennae mast. Any suggestions on fixing/leveraging this for DTV and/or FM antennae for my component stereo setup that I am planning to put back up? The lower plug on that faceplate is so dam weird..
It appears to be ladderline wiring inside - do I reconnect and use for a FM or Ham radio, or do I use it to pull through some COAX & CAT6 to connect the DTV & FM antennae? 🤔
EDIT: I pulled the faceplate and plug off, and it is ladder line inside. The plug is a Wineguard model T32-U which only had the TV/FM connected the lower UHF plug was disconnected - and neither had the ground connected.

Anyone within the sound of this post want/need an 8 port gigabit switch? I’ve got 2 Netgear and 1 TP-Link.
All are 8 port unmanaged switches.
Cover shipping if not in the #denver area and it/they are yours.
Por lo que leo en #Reddit al parecer #Unifi ha cambiado la descripción de su nuevo Travel Router para aclarar que no es necesario tener una cuenta y que se puede usar como dispositivo independiente a través de #wireguard , esto me parece una buena noticia y lo hace un cacharro mucho más apetecible. La web europea también se ha actualizado #ubiquiti #homenetworking #homenetwork #homelab
home networking question the second
is there any better option for managed switches and access points than ubiquiti on price point?
currently staring down the barrel of a ~£450 cost to replace the current ASUS garbage and misc unmanaged switches
(USW-Flex-2.5G-PoE for downstream of the router, U7-Lite for ground, USW-Flex-2.5G upstairs access, U7-Lite and PoE+ injector for upper floor)
Phase 2 of my Christmas project has been completed. I have now replaced my ISP router with a more professional model from Ubiquiti. The FRITZ!Box I was using previously is a good piece of extremely well specified kit, but when it comes to the main job of shifting packets around Ubiquiti is a lot quicker, it seems.
I pay for 900Mbps download and 100Mbps upload. The download regularly exceeds 900 (bearing in mind it's only a gigabit LAN connection from the router to the box on the wall). With the FRITZ!Box upload has never exceeded 95Mbps. The new router (which I picked up with about 40% off in a black Friday event) is a bit different...

home networking question
is doing 2.5gbe worth it, or do i just get a bigger 1gbe switch with LAGG?
(i have 2 devices that are >1gbe; a NAS with 10gbe, and my PC with 2.5gbe)
looking at managed/smart-managed switches with VLAN capability
Ich muss bei der Family nächste Woche ein paar Ethernet-Leitungen erneuern.
Dort gab es mit der Zeit Kontaktprobleme bei denen ich mir nicht sicher bin ob es die billigen Keystone-Module, schlechtes Verlegekabel oder Beschädigung im Kabel schuld ist.
Habt ihr Empfehlungen was man nehmen will um das zu vermeiden? LSA oder Keystone? Cat6a oder was anderes? Empfehlenswerte Hersteller, Warnung vor Fehlkäufen?
