I once pushed normis in mikrotik support forum, he seems tensed enough handling bugs and issues reported in the forum regarding v7 haha

I rolled back to v7.1.1 already...
Not sure is that v7.2rc1 having ethernet port flapping problem or not.
I had few days of sudden Wan Ethernet Port down,and 1sec up again.
one day happens 2-3 times. (BTU Lan 1 to RB5009 Ethernet Port 2)
Or is that BTU fault?

i dont have rb5009.overkill for me.100Mbps unifi cgnated.

Hello,

Anyone using hap ac3 ?
I have some issue for the wifi with iphone 13 pro.

There is no internet connection with iphone 13 pro. The wifi is working fine with my laptop with windows 10 os.



Anyone facing this issue before ?

Can you access the webfig using ip address on safari?

any expert/ seller from northern? i wish to install one

You can get from Synchroweb or Subtel

Hi all,

I bought a RB4011 last year for my 100Mbps Unifi. My last reliable networking equipment was linksys wrt54g which works until wireless-g no longer viable. Any equipment afterwards like consumer tplink or asus eventually having slow downs, hang, restarts or overheat. Thats why I buy this overkill equipment for peace of mind.

I love its cpu attached to chassis, passive + very good heat dissipation. I don't like fans as they collect dusts and generate noises. most consumer flagship routers needs a fan at some point.

I pair this router with omada APs. 1x 660HD and 2x EAP225. Having around 30 2.4Ghz Smart home IoT devices and 10 5Ghz devices. Dedicated HikVision analog cctv attached to ethernet.

Now my router CPU never go beyond 6%, most of the time 1%. any fun stuff I can do to utilize it's power?

I do see from Omada I can configure 1 ssid for 1 vlan, and I see a lot of people tend to isolate their iot from main network. But how will they be able to control their smart light from their smartphone directly if they are separated into different vlans?

I do see Omada have Guest network. It seems that it is done inside AP where trying to access other vlan will drop the packet. Could be fun to shift this responsibility into router. For example, having 20 phones using the guest network at once. Not sure how well the AP itself can handle this though.

As for QoS doesn't seem needed as this router handles everything instantly. maybe my simultaneous load is not enough.

What kind of fancy configuration do people do with their home firewall? From most I see could be port forwarding to maybe their cctv or nas.

And it seems I'm running out of ethernet port soon, just attach my existing unmanaged tplink 8 port switch to one of the ports? since the cpu load is so low. i envy the rb5009 so much with a nice switch chip inside

just being hand itchy and want to tinkering with some stuff lol, doesn't seem I have some objective or issues to fix here.



yes that heatsink is just for fun because I had too much bad experience with router overheating hahahaha.

I use 2x stock poe injector that comes with eap225 and for 660 i buy another one for poe+. feels cheaper than poe switch and fully passive. if one of them spoil easier to replace as well.

rpi4 for home assistant + multiple iperf3 in docker for wifi tests.

Nice setup. However the cable management have room to improve. Hahaha 😝

Nice...

What UPS do you use?

thanks. I actually tried once to rearrange but turns out not significantly better. those poe injectors are one of the major culprit.

those aren't finalized so I don't want to tie them together.

now i keep eyeing on crs328. dont actually need the bandwidth but just for cleaner cabling & fun. rpi poe hat is so expensive though. almost can buy another pi already.

seems like they have new line ups coming soon. hopefully they have more passive cooling products that sticks to the casing.

I don't have a UPS

Better to get one. During blackout, still have network / internet and it may provide some protection

I think maybe someone can create a homelab thread here in LYN. I will share my homelab rack setup for you guys, in case anyone is thinking to build one.

nice.. how's pihole nowadays?

Used to use it a lot but eventually hit into issues

1. sometimes they block alipay and i have trouble performing payment

2. youtube history doesn't work

3. some apps will keep retry to send analytics nonstop (since blocked by pihole) and i will see like a super long bar to amazonaws endpoint

4. google search ads doesn't work



and I couldnt identify where you install the proxmox.. I used to have a HP sff pc for proxmox but hit into weird linux issues. did some google search says not using ecc ram. hows the power consumption for entire setup?


is the white thing above rb5009 the unifi onu? whats your router before you get your rb5009?


been thinking to get a ds220+ as well but my friend say new version coming soon. sounds fun to have local version of google photos.

I don't know about your pihole problem, but I use it with no problem. Sometimes if the pihole block some websites, i just add it into whitelist.
I installed proxmox on thinkstation PC which is using Xeon processor, I just added a 10Gbps nic into it and setting it to install sophos firewall vm, windows vm and also linux vm for pihole use.
Yes the white modem above rb5009 is the unifi onu. I am planning to use SFP GPON but currently the GPON I bought had some problems and I can't really use it, need to order other version.
The Synology NAS I used mainly for file and photo backup as well as Plex media server and also to run some dockerization stuff and currently routed to other network using VPS fixed public IP.

cool, might revisit pi-hole soon.

seems like server cpu is more suitable to install proxmox.

what do you do with docker in NAS? I see a lot of people do this but don't quite understand why run docker inside celeron cpu unit with low amount of ram.

also, did you google image the logo for your diagram one by one?
EDIT: nvm search seems working good in draw io

Nice, I envy you...

I use DS918+ too. 8Gb RAM.

One big UPS there

Using DSM7 the resource for using docker is quite low, highest is only when I the docker images need update and restart the container. Btw I am using 16GB RAM for my Synology DS918+. The paper says it only support maximum 8GB, turns out you can add it max 16GB no problem, been using it for almost 2 years already.

Haha the UPS i bought from carousell for only RM350 with 1.5kVA. Sadly it does not come with rackmount kit and finding one is quite hard in Malaysia, there is a lot on ebay but the shipping cost is much more expensive the item itself haha, that is why you can see I am using 1U fujitsu server as my mounting below, else the UPS will sink inside the rack.

are you running reverse proxy on the VPS hosts to expose the services hosted on the synology?

I am, I am using both internal reverse proxy and cloudflare service to expose my server to public internet. Only port 80 and 443 are exposed, other ports like SMB and SSH need to use VPN to access. Mostly I will connect to my VPN if I am browsing using my mobile data.
