| <kris_> | i'm building a new router very shortly though so |
| <kris_> | and getting an actual managed switch and some APs |
| <riteo> | vlan is kinda ugly from what I've heard but it's something |
| <riteo> | yay |
| <kris_> | idk about ugly but it's "cleaner" than creating this separation with real hardware |
| <sewn> | you can build your own router??? |
| <kris_> | yeah routers are just computers |
| <sewn> | ive just used the one from my isp and it works i think |
| <kris_> | i'm getting an hp t740 for this most likely |
| <riteo> | sewn routers are just computers |
| <sewn> | so nothing special |
| <sewn> | but but |
| <riteo> | yea |
| <sewn> | how does it communicate with tha isp |
| <kris_> | 4c8t first gen ryzen, 8gb of ram, probs like a 64gb ssd |
| <kris_> | sewn the router typically isnt really what does that |
| <kris_> | modem/ONT |
| <riteo> | but also, like, there are protocols for that |
| <sewn> | what about fiber optic connections |
| <riteo> | depends on the medium I think |
| <kris_> | fiber you usually have an ONT |
| <riteo> | sewn: there are special transreceivers you stick into the router |
| <riteo> | they do the modem |
| <riteo> | (modulation/demodulation) |
| <kris_> | anyway, shortly i should be good to go, i have some major annoyances with my ISP |
| <riteo> | nice |
| <kris_> | 1. can't port forward, 2. can't change DNS servers given via DHCP, 3. the equipment literally just sucks |
| <riteo> | I mean "nice" for the shortly, not for the ISP issues |
| <kris_> | and i have to support a lot of old devices and they wont let me drop from wpa3 |
| <kris_> | which is why i'm daisychaining routers, im using one as a wpa2 AP |
| <kris_> | i just happen to *also* use this to segment my LANs |
| <riteo> | for the wpa2 AP you can simply disable nat yk |
| <sewn> | but why would you do all of that stuff does the isp networking not just werk |
| <kris_> | no it doesnt just werk lol |
| <sewn> | a |
| <kris_> | anything but |
| <riteo> | sewn ISP routers are mostly crap |
| <kris_> | so yeah, 10 gig nic in the ryzen thin client and off i go |
| <kris_> | not that i need 10g but why wouldnt i |
| <kris_> | openwrt for now until a friend and i finish our router distro |
| <riteo> | we bought this fucking €200+ thing that came with our offer, slowly paid in pieces (no idea about the word), and it sucks ASS |
| <sewn> | aoh ok that makes esnse |
| <sewn> | the router they give us is free |
| <kris_> | we're paying like $30 per month for our isp box |
| <kris_> | rental fee |
| <sewn> | apparnetly its a gpon ont |
| <kris_> | (and extra to get unlimited data) |
| <kris_> | since that's not really a standard thing in the US |
| <kris_> | 1.2tb per month isn't enough for me so unlucky ig |
| <riteo> | wtf you doing with all that data kris |
