That's odd. They made a pull-down menu that only has ONE item in it?

In your ACL rule, you have "Specific IP Address" set,but you don't have any IP addresses listed below each entry. . .

Generally, you don't want to use port-forwarding to forward an incoming port,to the same port on your LAN. Try placing your internal webserver onto a different port, such as 8080, for example.Then change your port forwarding rule "Mapped port" to 8080, and try it again. Alternately, some dynamic DNS providers will let you…

With as many options as that router has, I'm surprised thatthere aren't any obvious settings for NAT Loopback / Hairpin NAT. I don't even recall seeing static DNS entries,which would have been another possible solution.

Yeah, VLANS and ports can be pretty tricky sometimes,and it seems like some brands of switches are a bit more finicky than others. I try to keep my ordinary ports as specific as possible,so I tend to make them "Access ports", set for the appropriateVLAN, and then set the PVID to match that VLAN. This ensures that whatever…

If you haven't done so already, log into your switch,and navigate to your interface settings for your VLANS. The XS1920, may, by default, have an MTU size of 1500 set. Note that if you are running different VLANS, that there may beseparate VLAN settings for each interface (not port) defined. If you're not sure where the…

I'm not sure that I've ever heard of a USB antenna. I know that most of the models of the C3000Z have an external USB portthat can be used with USB flash drives, etc. The modems themselves have an antenna array built right inside the case, and I haven't seen a picture of a C3000Z with anything that looked line anexternal…

The power supply seems to be a commonly available unit.The most popular model number for the power supply is one made by UMEC (Universal Micro Electronics). . . Model UP0251M-12PA That is a 12 volt, 2A supply, with a center-positive terminal. I was unable to find any comments online to indicate what size the coaxial power…

So far, I've generally been pleased with the performance of the various Zyxel devices that I've deployed at home, and at work. I started with the Armor Z1 AC2350 router at home. It has been a solid performer for the last few years.(With my only complaint being an inability to stop theOneConnect broadcast advertisements in…

I've been using a GS1900-8HP at home,and have been generally pleased with its options and overall operation. I'd say that most home users (that are looking for somethingmore advanced than your off-the-shelf un-managed switches) are probably interested in either VLANS, LAGS, or POE. The switch has adequate configuration for…

I guess it would depend on what features,and what level of management that you need. If you're looking for Layer 3 switching, advanced or granular control of security features, broadcast filtering, etc., then Cisco is the way to go.I've never seen a network switch with so many options as Cisco. ;-) However, if you're just…

I can confirm that the GS1900-24HP can successfully power a compatible UniFi access point. We've been using a GS1900-24HP at our office for over a year now,in combination with a UniFi UAP-AC-LR access point, and it works just fine. Be careful though - some of the older UniFi access points, such as theUnifi UAP, and UAP-LR…

I found the advertising behind this device to be questionable, at best. The device list listed as a 500Mbps device, and the spec sheetdoes indeed list 500Mbps as the PHY link speed. But, that is the speedbetween the two PLA4201 units themselves -- not the speed betweenyour computer, and the PLA4201. The ethernet port on…

A device like a powerline adapter shouldn't cause interference or surges,unless you have some very unusual grounding problems in your home's electrical system.(In which case, I'd be hesitant to plug anything in to those outlets.) :) Using a pair of media converters (Ethernet to Fiber Optic) could be usedto electrically…

Each on of your transitions introduces a reduction in performance,and any one of them could be causing connectivity issues as well. 1.) Powerline adapters (subject to noise on the powerline) 2.) Wireless N router/access point (subject to WiFi interference) 3.) USB WiFi adapters (lower performance versus a PCI/PCIe WiFi…
