Networking & Routers / Re: Ethernet over Coax

Now I know you can do ethernet over coax

I wouldn't recommend it...

During the mid to late 1980s, this was the dominant 10 Mbit/s Ethernet standard.

My bold.

Networking & Routers / Ethernet over Coax

Last post by robinc - Nov 15, 2024, 08:27:27

This may be daft - but - we're buying a house that has a TV coax point in every room. My guess is that somewhere in the loft there's going to be a hub of some sort - still waiting for info about that. Now I know you can do ethernet over coax and I do remember with great <insert feeling> the fun I had back in the early 90s working in a local secondary school complex with RM PCs and miles of coax for the network.

What I have in mind is using these to feed wireless access points as an alternative to our current Tenda mesh system.

Just wondering if anyone here has done anything along these lines?

Networking & Routers / Re: Public IP Addesses

I assume you are assigned an IPv4 address for the external interface which isn't in your routed range?

IPv6 is a different thing. Everyone on iDNet gets a /48 from which you can assign /64 networks.

As a passing thought, when you come to up sticks you could transfer your existing landline number to a VoIP provider which would then enable you to continue to receive (and even make) calls to/from that number on your mobile devices.  You would need to tie that into the move of your internet service as the terms of your existing contract may mean that porting out the landline number would cause a cancellation of the whole internet / phone package (and even possibly early termination charges).

Something else  with this driving up using mobiles the phone numbers don't work when you have to select called numbers options. They used to and tried with an old Panasonic which as current phone cleanly wasn't sending a number signal. Used to be no problem and isn't with the mobiles. Moral stay well clear of UBOSS when things settle with brothers death we will be off to mobiles or new provider.

Ditto.
According to the Network Status page: Wholesale suppliers advised of an issue over night within their network. They have since applied a fix to resolve the fault.

Thanks Bill.

Interesting. My monitoring shows no outage for Dad's OpenReach FTTP in Aberdaron.
