That times two. I currently have 6mbit down / 512kbit upload, and I'm hooking up a second line with same speeds.

 

So 12mbit down and 1mbit upload

Meh... A pc from 10 years ago could handle that with ease.

I don't know that I'm going to do that to begin with (shared bonding)...I think for now, I'll just balance things out using routers....since I have a static IP on my main, current DSL line, I'll use it for the IP cam and my PS3, and the new line will be for phones, receivers, computers, etc....

I got it hooked up at the box this evening around 5, so I just did a rush job to get the line inside and sync'd. Instead of using the other pair in my cat 5, I just ran a fresh line into my bedroom for now, just so I could do self-install. Had to pick email, DSL network password, etc. For now, the modems are a few hundred feet apart, but I might go back and grab a empty pair in my old DSL line so I can put them side by side and try this pfsense. I don't have the extra network card currently to run them in together, then back out to router.

I'm starting the work today of separating / balancing, and with the new line being in the back of the house, I'm not going to be able to do what I intended with the Airave and Vonage...I wanted each one on it's own DSL line...then I remembered the GPS antenna that I have to put somewhere...

 

Maybe i'll move vonage to the back...

 

It's gone from an "aha" job to a "ahh hell" job.

I had been waiting for a reason to put this Airrouter HP that I bought a while back into service...I really am not that familiar with Ubiquiti products, but decided this was the opportunity to hook it up and let the Ubiquiti airrouter handle the PPPoE protocol on the new DSL line...so I thought "quick job, no problem"...

WRONG.

 

I did my best to set the router up according to the proper settings...and got wireless and network tabs set on the ubi router...put the modem in PPPoE bridged mode...and thought that would be it.

Kept getting a popup on my laptop soon as I would hit apply and the router rebooted that I needed to enter additional login information, and it would open FFox and take me to a password reset tool for at&t. I knew I had the right password, and kept thinking it was a issue with the router not handling pppoe properly. Many resets later and finally going through the password reset, would you believe that since I took the Netgear/Westell 7550 off of router mode and bridged it that I was FORCED to change the DSL network password in order to use the internet again?

It would not connect at all using the old password, and forced me to reset it before it would let the Ubiquiti router connect using PPPoE.

I never heard of such...something new AT&T is doing??

Someone familiar with ubiquity please tell me...what's the difference in router, and SOHO router under the network tab? In router, the LAN had no internet while the wireless LAN did have internet. Changed to SOHO router and both LAN and WLAN had internet and work like normal now.

You want to use SOHO router mode for their stuff if you want to use it like a standard WIFi router. This is due to Ubnt's legacy as a wireless ISP gear company, where usually their radio was the equivalent of a cable modem rather than a home router.

I found out that I needed to use that mode with port 1 being where I plug in my bridged modem, but the confusing part, I'm used to having Wi-Fi plus all four router ports as internet access, apparently I don't have that with the other 3 ports, except number 3 or something?

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By PedroDaGr8 · Posted

      Since this is kind of the general chat thread, I have to share this humorous story (at least it is to me): Since around February/March of this year, my S22U has been an absolute pain to charge. USB-C cables would immediately fall out and it progressively got worse and worse until it often took me a number of minutes to get the angle of the cable juuuussst right to get charging to occur at all (not exaggerating). The connection was so weak that even walking heavily could cause the cable to disconnect. I tried cleaning out the port with a stable, a paperclip, etc. Some dust/lint/dirt came out but the connection didn't improve one bit. Needless to say, this was a MONSTER headache and had me hating this phone. I just didn't have the finances right now for a replacement.  Which brings us to the night before last. I am angry as hell because I had spent five minutes trying to get this phone to charge and failed. I am looking in the port and I notice it doesn't look right. The walls look rough and, using a staple, the back and walls feel REALLY rough and very hard. I get some lint/dust out with the staple and it improves charging in the sense I can get it to charge but it doesn't remove any of the hard stuff. It's late and it's charging, so that's enough for now. I decide it's time to see if that hard stuff is part of the connector or not. More aggressive methods are needed! I work in a biochem lab and we have a lot of different sizes of disposable needles available. So, yesterday morning, while in the lab I grab a few different sizes of needles between 26AWG and 31 AWG. When I got home, I got to work and start probing the connector with the 26 AWG and 31 AWG needle. The stuff feels extremely hard, almost like it was part of the connector, but a bit does break off. Under examination of the bit, it's almost sandy with dust/lint embedded in it. It's not part of the connector but instead some sort of rock-hard crap! That's when I remember that I had done some rock hounding at the end of last year and in January. This involved lots of digging in very sandy/dusty soils; soils which bare more than a passing resemblance to the crap in the connector. We have our answer, this debris is basically compacted/cemented rock dust. Over time, moisture in the area combined with the compression from inserting the USB-C connector had turned it into cement. I start going nuts chiseling away at it with the 26 AWG needle. After about 5-10 minutes of constant chiseling and scraping with the 26AWG and 31AWG needles, I see the first signs of metal at the back of the connector. So it is metal around the outsides! Another 5 minutes of work and I have scraped away pretty much all of the crap in the connector. A few finishing passes with the 31AWG needle, a blast of compressed air, and it is time to see if this helped any. I plug my regular USB-C cable and holy crap it clicks into place; it hasn't done that since February! I pick up the phone and the cable has actually latched! The connector works pretty much like it did over a year ago, it's almost like having a brand new phone!

      That's odd, they are usually almost lock step with TMO. I forgot to mention this also includes the September Security Update.

      T-Mobile is selling the rest of the 3.45GHz spectrum to Columbia Capital.
