Wat the hell. Not wanting to go throught NAT?I don't have any hardware from my ISP. I currently own a DOCSIS 3 modem with a single connection, that goes to my PC and that's it.
I have the option of leasing up to 2 additional IP addresses. I'm was thinking about buying a switch, assigning my main PC one of the IP addresses so I don't have to go through NAT on my main PC, buying a wifi router, plugging that into the switch and running everything else through it. But that's probably just a waste of time and I should just get a good router and have the router do all that.
I've had bad experiences in the past with routers jamming up constantly.
hmm, thanks. I will look around for an ap client'n router.In theory you can do this :
1. buy a router that can work as an ap client
2. login to the internet on your laptop
3. clone the mac address of the laptop on the router
4. disconnect the laptop and connect the router
5. browse t3h internets
It all depends how long you can stay online before you have to login again and a few other things but it should be doable.
Satellite TV in your area most likely has a very powerful beam hitting you at 2.5ghz. Standard wifi is 2.4ghz. Radar operates in the same 5ghz wifi band occasionally. If you have cell service, that is 700-1000mhz. TV and radio stations? Two way radio repeaters? Public safety circuits at 4.9ghz? Etc etc. Unless you live in a lead box. And then you are going to get lead poisoning.Well I specifically wanted 2 separate devices because I'm one of those crazy people that thinks prolonged exposure to wifi signals are harmful to your health so I want the wifi router as far away from where I sleep as possible as I have no real use for wifi in my room anyway.
Managed DNS | Outsourced DNS | Anycast DNS | Load BalancingAnyone have some first-hand experience with a (preferably free) dynamic DNS service? I built an HTPC last week and now I need something to keep my IP static on it, so I can remote in when needed.
Start by rebooting and only have one PC attached to it. See if that happens with the single PC, you might have something external to the router bringing it down.Ok, now I'm actually concerned. The other router I hooked up just dropped the broadcast too. Nothing on the router physically looks off (e.g. all the lights are on). There's been no change in anything near the router that I can think of that would suddenly interfere with the signal. In fact, we just got rid of the DirecTV receiver, so there's even less.
Any ideas on what could be causing my routers to stop broadcasting?
I've used DYN for years. Free, but you have to log in once a month. I've just stuck with the 35 a year plan. Great customer service. They resolve issues in literally minutes.Anyone have some first-hand experience with a (preferably free) dynamic DNS service?

I think all the free services regardless of the provider ask you to log in every 30 days. Usually an email will be sent with a verification link.I set up NoIP account and set it up on my router. Do I have to still manually log in once a month if my router supports Dynamic DNS accounts?
