    Router/Modem IP Addresses?

    But, neither of these links lead to a real solution. Just more frustration by more Comcast customers asking the same questions about the .254 address.

    Router/Modem IP Addresses?

    I'm trying to identify a device (10.0.0.254) that is reported on my "fing" phone app. Having a router that is bricked is not really an issue. Fing does an excellent job of scanning a network and reporting device property details, but in the case of this particular device it does not capture...

    Router/Modem IP Addresses?

    I access My router/modem combination device with the gateway 10.0.0.1 address. {this is identified by fing as my router}. This unit is a lease from Comcast and i don't think they want me to un-brick it to start over. Not sure i even could. If the .1 address is for the modem, perhaps the .254...

    Router/Modem IP Addresses?

    I have a "Fing" app on my phone and it's real handy for viewing all my devices and their respective IP addresses on my various different LANs. However, what I'm not sure about is if there is a separate and unique IP address other than the default Gateway address for the Modem when it is built...

    Conduit question

    I would use a 3/4" schedule 40 PVC to each camera because if you should have mice in your attic from time to time. They are notorious for eating cable insulation. They don't eat PVC electrical conduit.

    Fiber Continuity Instrument Recommendation?

    I have about 100' of underground OM4 multi-mode fiber optic duplex cable. I'd like to check to make sure it is OK before I hook it up to my switches. Looking at YouTube and Amazon there are many VFI, Visual Fault Indicators, that look like they might do the job, but I'm not sure of witch one...

    Is anyone using "SpiceWorks" to monitor there network?

    I'll look it over and see if it will access my Gateway router. Just a brief look at their video it appears that it is not necessary to use the Windows command prompt.

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    Well, although I was not able to uninstall the PC-NVR program, I was able to "Shred" it with that function in the free version of the AVG anti-virus SW . After that the latest version of the Smart PSS software installed without any problems. Relative to the firmware, I have yet to hard wire my...

    Dahua Starlight Varifocal Turret (IPC-HDW5231R-Z)

    OK I got around Defender, but the install will not work because it says that the old version is "running". It must be running in the background and it will not uninstall for the same reason. I have searched the settings in the program and I don't see how to shut it down. Also checked the...

    WiFi Extender & Bluetooth

    I'm Still not sure why the dongal fixed the problem but after the second restart of my PC the BT keyboard is now working perfectly every time I turn it on. I am suspicious that it might just be a comparability problem with Windows 10?

    Temperature Alert

    I have my Equipment in a rack enclosure. The enclosure is vented and I can install fans but my ideal is to have some sort of temperature data logger but with an alert; maybe via email or something like that. I'm wondering if anyone may have some recommendations?

    WiFi Extender & Bluetooth

    Apparently. I'm not sure why it works, but it is good from at least 10'. one problem however; I turned off the keyboard and it was not synced when I turned it back on. So I'm still exploring that problem>
