Just to clarify, you are recommending that he use the single unit to receive the existing 2.4Ghz signal in the remote location? Never thought about a solution like this but it sounds like it would work for short distance. Just curious :)

Okay thanks for the help!

Thanks for the reply. I am particularly looking at PS4 and Xbox One. I also realize the next gen consoles are coming out but I was really just looking for a way to run diagnostics of some sort, or other recommendations for making sure all is well with the system.

I don't want to downgrade your expertise because I do not really know how much knowledge you have for IT, but I've always been told that beginners should start by doing CompTIA. Such as the A+ cert. But personally I never did the certification, just did some studying using Cybrary (great...

Hey everyone, I wanted to get your guys' opinion on buying used consoles. I don't know of any way of testing the speed of the hard drive or doing any diagnostics on the system (whether it be Xbox or Playstation). I don't want to buy a system and have it crap out in a week. Any ideas? PS I know...

You could also try to VPN. Just a thought

Nevermind everyone, I solved what I was looking for. This specific block (not sure about other blocks) used a coaxial power connection that eventually uses AC power to power the whole block. The block I saw was plugged in much further away from the block, and I also did not know that these...

I have a cable block in my house where my cable comes in. At this spot, the cable hooks on to the cable block from Comcast and feeds the cable throughout my house. With the new installation of my MoCA adapters, I need to hook up a POE (point of entry) filter to the block. I thought I would just...

Did you try other games? Could it be the game servers, not your connection? Try running another game or two and see what happens

A few things could be considered a downside. MoCA can leak out of your home and others would be able to get your signal. That’s easily fixed with a point of entry filter (look it up). Also I believe it can’t be used with satellite if you have it. And, depending on the wiring you have now, you...

I buy my cable from TrueCable on Amazon. It’s very high quality. I’ve used their indoor and outdoor cat6, as well as their shielded outdoor cat6. Just make sure to buy large connectors because it’s thick cable.

If I were you, I would get a pair of MoCA adapters, thus turning your cable connection to Ethernet for point-to-point Internet. At each additional cable outlet, get another MoCA adapter (up to 16 total, with the MoCA 2.0 standard). There’s plenty of info on the internet about these adapters.

I apologize if this is in the wrong section, but I believe that this should be under networking because it consists of using IP Phones (or so I believe). So here is my situation. I have a regular phone in my office. That’s where my modem that I get my telephone connection is as well. I want to...

Trying to prevent it from being stolen. I realize it’s impossible to completely secure it, but I wasn’t sure if anyone knew of some kind of lock or something.

So I am in need of some great ideas for the physical security of my access point. My setup is a large wood 4x4 in the ground with a wood sign attached to the top of it. I have my access point mounted to the sign, about 6.5 feet above the ground. My issue is that the AP is high enough to reach it...
