  1. I've been loosely following this thread. Not read it all. Keeping this in mind..........

     

    Everything Microsoft has very serious fatal issues. I left Windows after they torched NT/ 2k , everything since stinks on ice with a laser show, on the best brand new shiny hardware with the latest in connection technology. Although I am still forced to deal with it.

     

    MS Enterprise is a dumpster fire behind a back water New York City greasy spoon on life support with krok'd out staff.

     

    Now that this is out of the way and likely has nothing to do with the topic .........

     

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     

    No idea if this has been mentioned in this thread so forgive me, if it were me, first thing I might do is remove all possible hops on internal network.

     

    Remove any and all 'other' devices from the local network.

    Test different times of the day in that setup.

     

    I would chill, because I have been around the Sun enough times to know the likelihood of my systems achieving what any ISP sells me are slim. And make the best of what I can do with what I have been granted. Paying for or not.

     

    Aside this, if I require a 1 gig service to be 1 gig constantly, then I would get setup with a business account, because I would never fully utilize 1 Gig in my residence unless I was testing for it. Not the way streaming media is setup. Not the way anything residential is setup as far as I am aware.

     

    I might go find a local acquaintance and setup an iPerf server between.  

  2. After a couple years the blue LED in the AP-Pro's withered to a mere shadow, not that this really matters for functionality, but it does. It's a status report.

     

    Anyway I searched around to find the next size up from the 0603 which appear to be the original size, both the 0805 and the 0603 rates ~3v@ 20Ma. I opted to use the larger of the two. The size of the 0805 claims 2/1.25/.8 mm, where the 0603 sits 1.6/.8/.6

    For reference here is the 0805 in my hand , and on a Lowe's gift card. The Anode (+) is the green mark.

    The job could have used a solder tip 1/4 of the smallest size I had which was ~1.5mm, as well the solder could have been 0.3mm Vs. 0.6mm

    The blue LED is located at 'D11', the white is 'D12'

    Below is the before and after replacement of the LED's The new LED floods the lens.

    At any rate, it was more difficult to spudge the cases open than the LED's were to replace. There is a  small amount of silicone type compund around the rim, and three interlocking standoffs on the case. Snapped back together as if they were happy.

     

    Before / after

    This whole thing started after running a CT of Unifi for the controller. They use a version of MariaDB that is no longer maintained, therefore the base OS cannot be updated without hacking together a system. There is a shell script someone came up with that Ubiquity is linking to, I was not entertained. Considering I've used the container to manage the AP's for a while I was ready to update some hardware. 

     

    The UDM-SE wants to live in front of everything else, considering I'm a PfSense user, that was not going to happen.  I gave it it's own physical LAN port on the Netgate 4100 in it's own VLAN, chose to set the DHCP to relay, nothing I've done so far allows the IP's the DHCP server in PfSense lease to the AP clients, to pass data through the UDM. Spanning tree refused to allow me entry to the UDM when setup this way. Turning off RSTP allowed access to UDM (but only from connecting to the UDM.) Loving level2.

     

    I'll need to segregate and run a PCAP while a client.

     

    So for now the UDM sits on the side in it's own VLAN corner, serving IP's to clients in it's own subnet. The double NAT doesn't seem to effect throughput by any noticeable difference.

    ...Or get the RT-AX82u & have unbelievable speeds in the entire home, (up to 2000 sq ft & 30+ devices), Dual Band WiFi 6, Mesh WiFi, Gaming Port, Adaptive QoS, Port Forwarding, Ai-Protection for under $150? :shrug:      😅

     

    I can pull over 800 sym. throughout the entire house, and over 600 in the garage/driveway. 

     

    https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-RT-AX82U-Dual-Band-Acceleration-Dedicated/dp/B08QDHR4KJ/ref=sr_1_2?crid=37XTU0675H20N&keywords=RT-AX82U]\&qid=1676173556&sprefix=rt-ax82u%2Caps%2C86&sr=8-2

    I went ahead with the ASUS RT-AX82U AX5400

     

    Great price on that open box, It's for my Dad, updating from an older netgear, where they don't have all that many devices.

     

    If this thing gives him trouble I'll mimic my home network to some extent.

  4. Everyone is doing well here still kickin around just no screamin.

     

    Sorry for not answering if you messaged on FB, lost access a couple years ago.

     

    Seems like every week we lose someone else, guess that happens as we get older. 
     

    Hope everyone good on your end !

     

     

  5. I left Windows OS after Vista came out, stuck in with XP until it was no longer super viable, I could never 'connect' with the direction they went. Though always have a VM to keep up that I can still use the basics of the OS.

     

    Linux / FreeBSD and MacOS have been way more exciting for me since then, where I can tweak it to what I want it to  be.

     

    Good times either way!

    or even MYSELF to my other PC in the same home, on the same network

    This leads me to believe there is active software living on your network that you did not intend to be there.

    if its p2p, it will throttle it.

    This is where I would start.

    what is scp?

    SCP = Secure Copy

     

    Outside of any other programs / scripts on the (sending machine) SCP will allow a transfer to be done at full network speeds. Circumventing "throttling" script, Speaking locally at this point.

     

    Putty has an SCP client within https://www.putty.org/

     

    A basic example for usage would be:

    scp file/location user@IPaddress:/directory

    or domain name Vs. IP

     

    You should also look into pscp

     

    Edit: ISP's use service such as https://www.sandvine.com/ for this purpose

  8. Ubuntu 20.04

    Gnome 3.36.8

     

    I've been using a Matias FK302 since release, roughly ten years now, nearly flawless outside of the occasional bounce.

     

    Naturally as time goes on this got worse to the point i knew a cleaning / replacement was necessary. So I started the process with keycap soup:

    keycap-soup.jpg

     

    Then began opening the switches, they are simplified APLS SKBM clones with Matias tweaks. I've successfully cleaned these switches in the past so I knew what to expect, none the less I "successfully" bent a contact in the first switch opened after a quick clean, I was  in a hurry, didn't bother to lube the slider even.

     

    bent-contact.jpg

     

    The mount is metal, and is a bit rusty after ~ten years use and abuse, this along with the bent contact, are terms for a complete disassemble, new key switches soldered and paint. So I shelved the keyboard until after the holiday shipping tripe is completed, where I can be assured the switches will arrive un bastardised. < is that a word? 

     

    So I went with a Lenovo 54Y9400 I had sitting around. A good membrane (rubber dome) keyboard widely used in data entry.

     

    First few days no issues. Now the real issue is rearing it's ugly head. But what is it?

     

    As I understand, rollover is  programmed on board, as in keyboard. Yet when a keyswitch contacts bounce past the point of the programming, you clean / replace the switches. Simple, unless the logic board  is borked.

     

    I've been fixing the double characters prior to this sentence, here is an example:

     

    TL;DR example on membrane KB:

     

    1234567890))((.>??MMnNvcxxzASD  you get the idea.

     

    This is on the Lenovo 544Y9400 membrane keyboard.

     

    [Searching] links me to mechanical switches why what and how toos, nothing about when a membrane KB does this, I've looking in  /dev for ukbd to no avail, done a short bit of searching for the keyboard controller in Ubuntu, google is helping by assuming I'm working with a MIDI device. And eliminating all other interests several pages in.

     

    Thoughts, ideas?/  << nice bounce eh?/
