Network

I recently moved, and the broadband at my place switched from China Telecom to Unicom. Usually, when I watch dramas or play games, I don’t feel any noticeable difference. It wasn’t until a couple of days ago that I tried to download some materials and habitually switched to the US node, but no matter what, the speed wouldn’t go up. I was a bit dumbfounded at the time.

I figured this out later. I used to think that because the bandwidth in US data centers was sufficient, the US nodes were naturally stronger. Now I see that this understanding is only half right. Having ample server resources in the US is one thing; which broadband provider to use domestically, how the international exit path works, and whether the return trip benefits from better backbone connections are the other half. Issues that weren’t exposed when I used Telecom were all revealed after switching to Unicom.

Continuing from the previous discussion, today we’ll be talking about local area network IP addresses. Last time, in order to synchronize code, the server configured a proxy, and the server and the desktop computer in the house were able to connect to the network. Within a local area network, the proxy program was deployed on the desktop, and the server accessed the internet through the proxy. Code synchronization was very slow, so it was abandoned. Half a month later, when verifying the code on the server, the Git code synchronization failed with a network error. Without much thought, I examined the error message.

Desktop hardware three-in-one, in the previous text we mentioned PCIe adapter for solid state drives, where did the old SSDs go? Of course there was no waste, were any of them broken, disassembled and installed on the newly purchased ‘MechMaker Mini-3765H’ (bought a year ago).

The new machine has powerful hardware specifications: 2.5G dual network interface, PCIe4.0, WiFi6.

Recently moved house and my room doesn’t have a dedicated router for networking, all the machines are connected via wireless network; the ASUS motherboard desktop wireless card performance wasn’t great, or perhaps it was the router’s wireless access, which resulted in slow upload speeds between local networks, leading to poor network speeds between the machines. I purchased a 2.5G NIC and installed it on the desktop.

Want your home network to be lightning fast? The key is understanding cable selection, optical terminals (ONTs), and router configuration, as well as those seemingly insignificant details. This blog post will guide you through easily learning how to build a gigabit network using six types of cables, and how to ensure your network speed isn’t restricted by simple device checks and configurations. Let’s explore together and make your home network fly!

Migration

Closing up shop, packing everything away, a familiar route, a new workstation – adjusting computer cabling, finding a comfortable posture to start working. (ÒωÓױ)! – Connecting the network cable, the servers frequently used by the team were inaccessible. I tried switching to wireless networking, and access was normal again.
