    Where are the 2025 Models?

    You Got that right. I think the resellers are also being jacked off buy the Distributors so they have to pass it along. I'm so glad I hung my installer hat a few years ago. You say security!!! I'm still doing limited IT consulting and at every turn of the corner I'm patching something playing...

    Consumer based wireless mesh systems

    So Im testing this-->Asus ZENWIFI XD4plus AX1800 I have no back-haul cables yet, So far so good, kinda strange, seems certain devices like the one furthest away from the one in the room..go figure, The Roku's initially crashed with the 2.4 and could not even see the 2.4 after. Next day, they...

    Consumer based wireless mesh systems

    I took a look at a few, The Asus systems are all set for back haul with a extra Lan connection on the nodes. Not sure about dedicated wireless channel, good point on that one, will have to check.

    Consumer based wireless mesh systems

    Nice reply...Thanks Glad you did not have any nightmare scenario's .. That being said, A lot of the older houses that were built like brick shit houses have really solid walls and seem to have the most issues. I have talked to builders..a few of them and they still have no plans of pre wiring...

    Consumer based wireless mesh systems

    Hey all, Bringing this up because as home systems are ditching the either-net cables, the wireless demands are rising. Just over a year ago I helped a local Museum with a dead wireless issue. Their Spectrum gear was in the basement and not cutting it anymore. They ended up buying a Netgear...

    Drone swarms in the northeast?

    This is a wild story. I do not believe for one second that they do not know what these are for the good or bad. It might be serving a few purposes at once, Subterfuge, Lookie Lookie over here, keeping the news cycles pointed at them. Either way, not saying or admitting what going on is not good...

    I have a camera under attack. How are they doing this?

    Just a quick check of how many different sellers of these cams. Nothing would stop me from buying a lot of these and reworking the firmware and reselling 100 of them, most likely 90 of them would go unnoticed, That goes for all used IT equipment you find on Ebay, Tons of Vulnerable EOL Cisco and...

    NewsBreak App Do You use it ?

    Anybody use this app? I friend of mine sent me a local story with a link through text messaging. It wanted me to install the Newsbreak app on my android. I'm pretty app-less on my phone and always suspect of any app. A bit of research on it, Turns out that one of its major owners is a Chinese...

    How to run cat 5e outdoor rated cable along a fence?

    I would go with PVC if you have critters, In my case I really liked doing that run twice in 3 years. https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/burying-ethernet-cable-outdoors.75352/#post-840902

    WOW, If she had a knife, Brett would have been castrated or his eyes stabbed out. VERY smug and still would not give answers.
