Private IP?

Thought Dynamic or stastic IP ?

Anyway, I use synology provided ddns. Very easy setup and nothing change to Maxis bb.
*
What i read in the forum is MAXIS uses a private 10.x in their WAN IP. So ddns would not work if like this.

If your synology works in ddns it means your MAXIS uses a Public WAN IP? How long have you been using Maxis broadband?

Been using Maxis BB since day 1. My area only have maxis BB.

I don't no what maxis IP they use. After install, it work fine till now.

What I do is register with synology for quickconnect. Than setup the quickconnect in the server.

I think after register and setup the server, server will send infor to synology server and keep track the IP.

Easy to check, open command prompt and do a nslookup your ddns FQDN. If its able to resolve then it means you are on a public IP.

Just FYI:
Technically only need 2 pairs, pair 1 (1 &2) for transmitting and pair 2 (3 & 6) for receiving.
When u terminated ur cable ends, u did pair 2 wrongly, that's why no proper signal coming through.
*
2 pair if only 100mbps, at 1Gbps, all 4 pairs are used.

Just visit your router web portal (typically 192.168.1.254) and see what is the IP listed for IPV4 IP.
If its 10.xxx its private IP >> Call maxis req for public IP
If its 58.xxx its all good

Generally if that IP matches with the google search for "what is my IP" then its likely to be public IP; also if you can browse Lazada smoothly its likely to be public IP
If you encounter high failure rate loading lazada pages then you'd probably be on private IP

In the router wan

Connection type : Dynamic IP
IP/mask: 10.182.x.x/x

Everything is running fine. Server can communicate outside world. Lazada runing fine.

Sorry guys for the late reply.

Below is my network rack from outside. Brand Grow, 9U, that costs me RM 535.30 (including a fan, a rack as you can see from inside).

[attachmentid=10187999]
[attachmentid=10188003]

Inside, I'm using:
[attachmentid=10188004]

1. Unmanaged Network Switch (TP-LINK 24P 1Gbps): RM 399.00
2. CAT6 Patch Panel, NuroMicron: RM 402.27
(the rest is not necessary as you can see I have Belkin extension and a simple NAS. You can also noticed the TM modem)

All over my house, I have 16 ports in total (6x2 ports and 4x1 port)

[attachmentid=10188005]

My wireman charge me RM 4680.00 for the CAT6 wiring, including the piping, hacking and the wall plate, including the wiring up to the patch panel, as well as telephone line (from outside of my house to the rack, I don't think you can see it from the image).

My wireman used to do the LAN wiring. If you are hiring electrical wireman, make sure find someone for the patch panel connection. Even my wireman, they thought that the cable should be plugged in at the front of the patch panel. I asked them to redo; the cable should be terminated at the back of the panel. We as user can reconfigure simply by connecting a patch cable (CAT5e/CAT6 etc. for ethernet networking or CAT3 for telephone) to our switch or other devices. As you can see, some of ports at the patch panel I connect with RJ11 cables. That cables are connected to RJ11 splitter that connected to the phone port at the modem (I placed my router on top of the rack). This way I can connect telephones at the pre-configured ports. FYI, I hire different wireman for my 3-phase electrical wiring (as mentioned in my previous post). My point is, I want wireman that has experience in LAN wiring.

Please note that during the planning stage, I have tested Dintek brand CAT6 cable but the performance is similar to any other CAT6 cable. You need to make sure all the portion of the cable that is twisted remain twisted, not overly bent and insist that the cable must be inside of conduit. Do not simply hack your wall, lay the cable and then cover by cement. This will shorten your cable's life. Dintek is expensive that is not necessary.

My budget is just for CAT6 and CAT6a during the time is very expensive, not to mention CAT7 and I don't mind the unpopular brand for cables, patch panel (NuroMicron), wall plate (AMPNetconnect). For switch, right now unmanaged is enough for me. Just make sure it is gigabit.

So I got someone to do for my home, but seems this wireman is going to do all 8x Cat6a single wall plate dry.gif. Is it usually for these use patch panel?

Hey guys, anyone knows if a Cat6 coupler or a punch-down keystone would be better for wall panel?

Punch-down. Then use the wall plate.

oic thx, like this?



is 1 x cat6 cable, wire to living room then wall plate (1rj45 ethernet port) then link it to a switch to have more ports. is that a reasonable setup? hmm.gif

also for cabling, i was wondering whether doing it like this guy is the best approach (cost effectiveness)



Like to get the cabling under doors, and also along the walls (not really within, but along the wall but neatly)


is there any services that provide this type of wiring for the home? hmm.gif

Yup.. How many ports do you plan do to?

My home.. Wall -> patch panel -> switch.

I used patch panel to make it easier to troubleshoot later on and looks neater

for under doors.. depends on ur house.. If you're using drywall then ok la.. or you got wainscoting .. before doing it just do the wiring first. Since the rooms at my house got the antenna port, I replaced it with cat6 cable since we're not using it anymore. I always use the same wiring guy cause he knows where all the wires goes..

well i was thinking of connecting the switch in my work space (router + switch), to the other room with a single cat 6 ethernet cable. that other end point which a ethernet faceplate, would then be connected to another switch, so then i have more ethernet ports for other devices located elsewhere to be wired.

Just my suggestion. Centralise it. Put all your network stuffs in one room/place. Just mess one place. Not everywhere in the house hahaha.

Find a place where you can pull the cable to every parts of the house. Just in case in the future you'd like to add on cctv or any other network related stuffs. It will be easier.

I started just with 16 ports gigabit switch w/o patch panel. Its a bit pain in the ass to troubleshoot and tidy it up. I put it below my db which is enclosed in a wall with a door. That was years ago.

This year i decided to install cctv around the house in n out. Luckily my initial gigabit network was centralised. The whole existing wiring i moved them together to a new place. Used patch panel (lesson learnt) and put it all together in a case and hook it up on the wall.

If you dont want to do it this way. The one you planned will work too.
