Hello everyone, I guess as the title says, i need some help to understand exactly what the range is for Unifi’s AC in-Wall AP’s. They are about 4yrs old and now that my wife and i swapped to iPhone 15’s, we have been noticing issues with lagging connections, slow speeds or simply just not connecting at all, even though our cell phones both show good wifi signal.
The network consists of a Unifi gateway, 8port poe switch and two Our house is a single story, 3000sqft L-shape space, having them at each end of the house was initially a good idea, but if my math is right in the coverage, this would explain the crappy wifi coverage.
I went back to the website recently to look up their specs and noticed that the range stated was 300sqft, which seems like it’s enough, but is it?
The coverage area is 300sqft, meaning that if we are talking about a circle that means that the farthest point from the AP is approximately 10ft, which is no where near enough for my needs.
Am i completely wrong in this assumption?
What AP’s would you all recommend buying to be able to have better coverage?
Also, i’ve heard that iPhone are finicky when it comes to WiFi and i believe i have seen some setup tutorials on how best to optimize your Unifi network to support iPhones and just better WiFi coverage. If anyone can point me in the right dorection it will be greatly appreciated.

Hello fine folks, I have been running a ER4 for many years paired with two NanoHD APs.
I see the specs for the Gateway Max say 1.5Gbps throughput for IDS / IPS, however what about the smart queue system? I currently achieve about 600mbps with smart queue on my ER4, but what might I expect from this new router if I were to upgrade?

I use Arch Linux on WSL2 on a Windows 11 as my main setup. I am developing an app that uses two containers, one is the backend(golang echo + SQLite) the other is frontend (golang echo + templ + HTMX + tailwindcss)
So far everything was going fine, I am able to properly start both the containers using podman-compose and a compose.yaml file and both the container start up without much problems.
The problem comes when I try to send an HTTP request from one container to the other. The backend is running on port 8080 and frontend runs on port 9090 while being in the frontend container I run the following commad:- curl http://quark_server:8080 It says it cannot resolve quark_server
And the same goes for trying to access quark_client from the backend container
A few hours before when I made the compose.yaml file, everything was working properly for some reason, after that I never changed anything, I was testing with how the notifications work with various backend events on the frontend like updating a record in the database etc. All I did a few hours before was start the containers and update the user profile a few times to check the notifications feature and during that time everything was working fine and both the containers were properly interacting with each other. The only thing was that the websocket connection was not starting for some reason but atleast HTTP requests were happening. Then I just ran podman compose down and just shut my computer down.
Now, after a few hours, when I turned my computer back on and ran podman compose up -d --build again, neither the HTTP requests nor the WebSocket connection is working.
Here is my compose.yaml file ``` version: "3.8"
name: quark
services: backend: container_name: quark_server build: context: ./backend dockerfile: dev.dockerfile volumes: - ./server:/ussrc/app ports: - "8080:8080" frontend: container_name: quark_client build: context: ./frontend dockerfile: dev.dockerfile volumes: - ./client:/ussrc/app - /ussrc/app/node_modules ports: - "3000:3000"
```

Chapter Two - Part One
First Half
__________________
Outposts sprang up on Mercury and the moons of the Kuiper Belt, each a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. The harsh landscapes of these worlds posed new challenges, but they also offered new resources and opportunities. The ability to leap across the galaxy using faster-than-light travel encapsulated the dark, relentless drive of the human spirit to explore, expand, and survive.
The network of colonies became interconnected, serving as launch pads for further exploration. The new FTL technologies transformed the galaxy into a neighborhood rather than an infinite wilderness. Each jump through space brought humanity closer to its neighbors in the cosmos, for better or worse.
The universe, once a vast, lonely place, was now a landscape of potential new homes and new challenges. As humanity spread out from the Solar System to the stars, the stage was set for new conflicts and new stories, written not in the light of the Sun but in the starlight of distant worlds.
__________________
Humanity's march to the stars was driven by necessity and survival, stark against the backdrop of Earth's dwindling resources and rising conflicts. After World War I, the foundational theories of rocketry emerged, setting the stage for the later technological leaps that would propel humans into space. The brutal rivalry of the Cold War accelerated these advancements, pushing the Soviet Union and the United States to compete in the space race, a silent war fought with satellites and lunar landings.
The practical applications of these early missions were not just about planting flags but also about testing human limits and technologies in the harsh environment of space. The moon landings of 1969 were a global spectacle. Yet, they also underscored the sheer isolation and vulnerability of human life suspended in the cosmic void.
As the decades rolled on, the international focus shifted from competition to cooperation. The space shuttle program symbolized this new era, with nations coming together to build the International Space Station and to send joint missions to Mars. These efforts turned sci-fi dreams into reality—establishing bases on the moon and sending manned missions to Mars laid the groundwork for future colonization.
The drive to inhabit Mars and the moon grew out of a blend of fear and fascination. Habitats expanded into fully functioning colonies, tapping into local resources to create self-sustaining environments. Technologies developed for extracting water and producing air on these barren worlds were critical for long-term survival.
In the shadows of these achievements, the Alcubierre Warp drive emerged as a revolutionary breakthrough, allowing humanity to leapfrog across vast stellar distances in a blink. The UNV Pathfinder and its sister ship, the UNV Exploration, were equipped with this technology to reconnect with colony ships sent out decades earlier in the Great Exodus. These vessels carried not just new drives but also vital updates in agriculture, medicine, and communications to ensure the colonies could thrive.
Each successful mission with the warp drives was a lifeline, not only physically connecting distant colonies to Earth but also weaving a web of interstellar human culture. Resources and knowledge flowed freely, bolstering each colony's chance of success. These ships were built to endure the extremes of space. They were equipped with advanced life-support systems and autonomous navigation, and they were fortresses navigating the unknown.
Meanwhile, Earth and its solar system colonies were pushed further into space. Massive construction projects like O'Neal Cylinders and space elevators dotted the celestial landscape, marking human progress in the cosmos. Each colony, from Mars's rugged plains to the cloud tops of Venus, developed its distinct culture and identity, united by their shared heritage and mutual challenges.
Space travel was fraught with hazards. Asteroids and solar flares were just the beginning; the cosmos was a place of deep unpredictability and danger. Despite these risks, during this era, not just hundreds of thousands but hundreds of millions of people chose to leave Earth. They embarked on journeys aboard new colony ships. These immense vessels were comparable in size to or even surpassed the O'Neal Cylinder habitats in scale. These ships were behemoths, carrying the very essence of Earth and the seeds of future colonies.
The exodus reached systems like Alpha Centauri A and B, Proxima Centauri, Sirius A and B, Barnard's Star, Luyten 726-8 (BL Ceti and UV Ceti), Ross 154 (V1216 Sagittarii), and Wolf 359. These stars became the bedrock of the United Nations of Sol, the precursor to what would be known as the "Human Sphere." It was a time of unprecedented growth and prosperity for humanity, expanding further than ever before in its history.
As humans settled in these new worlds, they faced not only the physical challenges of new environments but also profound isolation and the psychological burden of being light-years away from Earth. Each colony developed its own way of life, adapting to the unique conditions of their new worlds. The challenges of establishing a foothold in these alien places were immense. Local resources were harvested, and technologies were adapted to create habitable atmospheres and viable ecosystems.
Communication between the colonies and Earth was sparse, limited by the vast distances. Each message took years to travel, even at the speed of light, making each colony effectively isolated in its own right. This isolation led to a variety of cultural evolutions and deviations from Earth's norms, which in turn led to a tapestry of diverse human experiences spread across the stars.
The technologies that allowed these pioneers to travel to and settle new worlds were monumental. Fusion drives, quantum computers, and terraforming equipment were standard on these ships. Life aboard the colony ships was a mix of awe at the cosmic vistas and the mundanity of daily life in confined spaces. Generations were born and died in transit, with only stories of Earth as their legacy.
Each new home was a gamble against the cosmos, and not all were successful. Some colonies failed tragically, and their populations were lost to space or were unable to survive in harsh new environments. But for every failure, there was a story of remarkable success and resilience. The human spirit, driven by a need to explore and expand, thrived in adversity. Humanity never gave up and, over the next century, continued to send colonists to each of these star systems and began the process of colonizing each system.
In the stark expanses of space, every new settlement humanity attempted was a stark challenge against the cosmos, and the failures were as common as the successes. Many colonies were lost—whole populations vanished into the void or succumbed to the inhospitable climes of unfamiliar planets. Despite these setbacks, for every outpost that fell, others sprang up in defiance of the odds, showcases of human resilience and determination.
This relentless push into the unknown was not powered by naïve optimism but rather a hardened will to forge a path, wherever possible, to lay claim to the stars themselves. Humanity's spirit, unbroken by repeated failures, continued to drive its expansion across galaxies. Over the decades, this resolve only hardened as each failed colony became a lesson in survival, a step towards mastering life in the cosmos.
The stark realities of space tested human resolve to its limits. Beyond the safety of the Solar System, the universe emerged not just as a vast place of exploration but as a harsh environment of extreme conditions and existential threats. The initial failures taught valuable lessons in logistics, life support, and sustainable living on alien soil, which were crucial for future endeavors.
Colonization efforts became more sophisticated over time. Humans developed technologies that could convert inhospitable terrains into somewhat livable habitats. Advanced terraforming equipment and life-support systems became standard in new colonies. These tools represented more than mere survival mechanisms; they were symbols of humanity's unyielding quest to inhabit the stars.
As colonies spread further into the galaxy, each new venture was underpinned by an increasingly detailed understanding of interstellar travel and survival. The experiences gathered from every failed settlement informed the next, creating a cumulative body of knowledge that bolstered human persistence. The drive to expand took on a rhythm of its own, a cycle of trial, error, and success that slowly but surely extended the reach of human civilization.
This cycle was reflected in the evolution of colonial policies and technologies. From the early days of rudimentary habitats to the development of massive, self-sustaining complexes that could house thousands, the growth was palpable. Each successful colony served as a proof of concept for the next. With each launch, humanity's footprint in the galaxy grew larger.
The colonies themselves varied wildly—a testament to human ingenuity and the diverse environments encountered. Some were burrowed into asteroids, others sprawled across red Martian sands or nestled in the volatile cloud tops of Venus. Each presented unique challenges and required bespoke solutions to make them habitable.
Interstellar ships, equipped with the latest in warp drive technology, ferried resources between these colonies. They were lifelines essential for maintaining the flow of essential supplies and personnel. These vessels were also carriers of culture and connection, linking distant humans across the void of space.
Despite the vast distances and slow communications, a network of human presence began to stitch together disparate points of light into a coherent tapestry of colonies. This network was more than a mere chain of outposts; it was the backbone of a burgeoning interstellar society—a network that held potential not only for survival but for a new era of human prosperity.
However, this expansion was not without its darker aspects. The harsh conditions of space required strict governance and often harsh penalties for breaches of colony protocol. Life in these new worlds was rigidly structured, a necessity to maintain order in environments where even a small mistake could be fatal.
Each new settlement was a dice roll against the vast uncertainties of space, and many did not survive. Failures were frequent; entire colonies vanished into the void or succumbed to the inhospitable conditions of their newfound planets. The loss of life was substantial, casting a shadow over the ambitious interstellar expansion efforts. However, each disaster also hardened the resolve of those who remained. The cumulative knowledge gained from these failures informed future endeavors, refining the protocols and technologies needed to endure and thrive in alien environments.
Despite the high stakes and frequent setbacks, human resolve remained unshaken. The determination to push forward, to establish a foothold in the cosmos, was fueled by necessity and the innate human drive to explore. As each failed colony became a lesson learned, the strategies for survival evolved. More robust life support systems were developed, and habitats were designed to be more adaptable to the unpredictable conditions of new worlds.
The stark reality of these endeavors was that many who left Earth would never return. They journeyed knowing the risks—trading the safety of their home planet for the promise of a new start on distant, uncharted worlds. This was the cost of progress, paid willingly by those driven by a vision of humanity's future among the stars.
With each new wave of colonists, technology and experience accumulated, reducing the risks and increasing the chances of success. Ships became more advanced, equipped with better navigation systems and life-support capabilities. Colonization techniques also improved, with genetic engineering playing a crucial role in adapting human physiology to extraterrestrial environments.
The harshness of space demanded a relentless pursuit of efficiency and sustainability. Resources were scarce, and logistical challenges were immense. The vast distances between colonies meant that each had to be largely self-sufficient. Communication lags, sometimes spanning years, forced these communities to develop a high degree of autonomy.
Over the centuries, this relentless expansion forged a new breed of human. These spacefarers were tough, adaptable, and fiercely independent. Their lives, spent on the frontier of human existence, were a testament to the species' tenacity. They cultivated their new worlds, turning barren landscapes into bustling colonies. These settlements eventually grew into hubs of culture and technology, distinct yet still connected to their ancestral home by shared history and common humanity.
Yet, the expansion was not without its darker aspects. The isolation of distant colonies often led to psychological strain and societal breakdown. In some cases, governance structures collapsed under the weight of external pressures and internal conflicts. Pirates and marauders, drawn by the wealth of fledgling colonies, became a significant threat, leading to the establishment of militarized zones and the deployment of defense forces.
As humans adapted to life in space, they also had to contend with the presence of other sentient species. Initial interactions were cautious and fraught with tension and misunderstandings. Some encounters led to conflict, others to alliances. These relationships were complex, shaped by a mix of diplomacy, trade, and, occasionally, warfare.
Humanity's venture into interstellar space fundamentally transformed its cultural and identity landscapes. As humans spread across the stars, encountering diverse environments and nurturing colonies on planets ranging from Mars to far-flung systems, the challenges of survival and the ethical dimensions of expansion pressed hard on their collective psyche.
Values long held sacred on Earth were reevaluated in the face of new realities. The discovery of life—fauna and flora—on other planets during these colonization efforts marked a pivotal shift. While no sentient alien species were encountered, the existence of alien ecosystems was profound. It highlighted not only humanity's isolation in the cosmos but also its responsibilities.
On Alpha Centauri, the first successful integration of Earth's lifeforms with alien biomes set a precedent. Genetic manipulation technologies were refined, allowing Earth's organisms to coexist with and enhance these extraterrestrial habitats. Conservation efforts were paramount; preserving the integrity and diversity of alien ecosystems became a moral imperative as much as a scientific endeavor.
Each colony, from the red dust of Mars to the lush jungles of distant exoplanets, became a testbed for these principles. They were microcosms where human ingenuity, ethical considerations, and ecological stewardship intersected. Through these experiences, humanity did not just spread through space; it grew, evolved, and redefined what it meant to be human in the vast expanse of the universe.
Through all these trials, the human spirit's resilience shone brightly. Never deterred by the enormity of their challenges, humans continued to push the boundaries of their known universe. Each colony, each ship, and each life represented a thread in the vast tapestry of human endeavor in space—a relentless march toward an uncertain but ceaselessly pursued future.
Chapter Two
Beginning of Entry…
StarDate: Redacted
Perspective: Noah Stark
Species: Human, Humanoid Mammalian Species, no tail.
Description: 5 feet 2 inches [1.6 meters] to 6 feet 9 inches [2.1 meters] average height. 185 lbs [84 kilograms] average weight.
Longevity: 70 to 500-year life expectancy with life extension medical tech.
Unique Trait: Resilience and Indomitable Will.
Vessel: ICV The Argonaut
Location: New Eden Star Cluster
Noah, his gaze locked on the viewport, watched the ancient ship float aimlessly among the asteroids. The ICV The Argonaut, under his skilled control, edged closer, enabling the deployment of EVA suits for inspection. Behind him, his mother, Gwendolyn Stark, and his sisters, Jane and Joan, prepared for the walk, their movements a blend of anticipation and professionalism. The ship, a silent relic of a bygone era, revealed no signs of life, a fact confirmed by both Shinra Hinaba and Serenity, the Argonaut's AI.
This discovery, hidden among the celestial debris, was a treasure. It wasn't just a ship; it was a gateway to unparalleled recognition for the Shinra-Stark-Daiwa Mining Group. While the Argonaut and its crew focused on this historical artifact, the rest of the fleet mined the surrounding asteroids, harvesting resources critical for the survival of distant colonies.
Hinaba's voice, laced with a mix of excitement and concern, snapped Noah back to the present. "Focus, Noah!" she said, her fist-bumping Noah's shoulder in a friendly gesture. "We've got a lot riding on bringing this ship in intact."
"I know, I know! Just relax, Hinaba! I've got this," Noah assured her, his attention riveted to the controls. His reputation as the fleet's top pilot wasn't unfounded, a fact even the skeptical private military contractors had come to acknowledge. Almost as if summoned by their conversation, the Director's face appeared on the communications screen next to Hinaba, an uncanny timing that suggested he was closely monitoring their progress.
It was then that Director Shinra Senzo's image flickered onto the communications screen, his timing almost too perfect. "What's your status, Noah?" he asked, a brief glance toward his daughter betraying his deeper concerns. Despite his reservations about Noah's closeness with Hinaba, he was willing to see where their partnership might lead, a stance influenced by discussions with Noah's father.
"We're in!" Gwendolyn's voice crackled through the comms, marking their successful approach. But their moment of triumph was shattered by a distress signal, a desperate call cutting through the static. Elaine and Beth Frost, Noah's cousins, scrambled to decipher it, their faces etched with growing alarm.
After a tense moment, Beth's face drained of color, but it was Eliane who eventually shared the grim news, which was dire: "An unknown force has attacked New Eden. Their defenses are falling…" The weight of their words hung heavy in the bridge. An unseen adversary had breached the colony's defenses, leaving them vulnerable. The realization that any hope of immediate assistance from the USSA or SFR was weeks or even a full stellar month away if at all, underscored the gravity of their situation. With the defense fleet in ruins, their only hope lay with the ICV Ishimura, and the hired PMC mercenary group onboard, initially engaged to fend off pirates, might now be their only hope against this new and formidable threat.
Silence enveloped the bridge as the magnitude of the crisis dawned on them. They were alone, far from help, facing a threat of unknown proportions. Noah felt a tightness in his jaw, anger and resolve mixing in equal measure. The prospect of what lay ahead was daunting, yet there was no room for doubt. They had to act swiftly.
Gwendolyn's voice broke the silence, her command clear. "We need to act, and quickly. Our priority is the safety of this crew and ensuring we can lend aid to New Eden. Noah, plot a course back. We have to prepare for what's to come."
Hinaba, her usual levity gone, nodded. "We have the Ishimura, and we're not defenseless. Let's make sure we're ready for whatever's out there."
As Noah adjusted the ship's course, a sense of determined urgency took hold. They were heading back, not just to confront a threat, but to defend their home, their people.
Director Senzo's voice crackled through the communication channel, his tone tinged with impatience yet seeking reassurance. "It would be great to know what the status of your progress is, Noah," he pressed, his words carrying a sense of urgency.
Noah could sense the weight of expectation in Director Senzo's inquiry. Despite the pressure, Noah remained composed, and his years of experience in the field allowed him to maintain a calm demeanor even in the face of such scrutiny. With a steady voice, he replied, "We're making steady progress, Director. I'll provide you with a detailed update shortly."

He paused as he focused on the holo-Feed in front of him and analyzed the available data in real-time thanks to his military-grade holo-NeuralSyne Implant. "We're adjusting course," Noah replied, his tone firm yet marked by an undercurrent of urgency. "Heading back to New Eden. We'll be ready." 

In the silence that followed, a collective resolve fortified them. They were facing the unknown, as the derelict ship could bring untold bounty from within its hull.
Director Senzo's command carved through the static a clear mandate that reset their priorities. "Noah, before you depart the asteroid belt, I am dispatching a Porter Tug to commandeer the derelict ship. It's our top priority... Get that ship secure before you Skip Jump back to the ICV Argos-1. That is a Prime Directive!" His voice, a blend of authority and urgency, left no room for debate.
Noah, hands steady on the controls, glanced briefly at the communications panel. The weight of the directive pressed into him, a stark reminder of the stakes involved. He turned, catching the gaze of his crew, a silent signal that it was time to adapt their plan. The crew exchanged quick, significant glances, each understanding the gravity of the order. The derelict ship, an ancient relic floating among the asteroids, was not just another find—it was a piece of history, potentially holding untold knowledge and value. The directive from Director Shinra Senzo underscored its importance, not just to their mission but to the broader ambitions of the Shinra-Stark-Daiwa Mining Group.
Noah's mind went back over the meaning of what such an order entailed. Refusing to follow the directive would most certainly spell the end of his career. On one hand, he wanted to help those in need and who were under siege by an unknown force. The New Eden Star Cluster was not just a single system but a series of star systems in close proximity to one another. Noah and the rest of the ICV Argos-1 collective fleet were mining ore around Eden-159; currently, the planets were still being colonized, but in ten years, that would change. Our job was to mine ore to return to Eden-109, one of the 1,119 star systems in the New Eden Cluster.
The directive was clear: any new discovery in the outer rims of human space takes top priority above all other mandates, and the crew of The Argonaut was ready. Despite the risks, the potential rewards were too significant to ignore. As preparations for the operation began in earnest, the sense of unity and purpose among the crew was palpable. Each member knew their role and was prepared to execute it with precision. Noah Stark, standing firm at the helm, nodded sharply. "Understood, Director. We'll secure the derelict and rendezvous with the Argos-1 as planned." His voice was calm, a stark contrast to the racing thoughts behind his composed exterior. The task was daunting, yet his confidence in his crew's abilities was unshakeable.
Shinra Hinaba, her eyes reflecting a mix of determination and concern, shifted in her search. Her fingers were already dancing across the console, setting up communication channels. Her role as the ship's specialist meant she was well-versed in the technicalities of such operations, and her confidence was discernible. "We'll need to coordinate with the tug. I can set up a direct comms link and guide their approach." Her voice, usually light and teasing in their private moments, now carried the professional edge of her role.
Gwendolyn Stark, the matriarch and seasoned explorer, nodded in agreement. "Time is of the essence. Let's secure that ship and make sure it's safe for the tug. We can't afford any delays." Her experience shone through, her demeanor calm yet commanding, rallying her children and the crew with a few choice words. "Everything is by the book. This ship could be a significant find for us," she stated, her voice firm.
Elaine, renowned for her cool demeanor under pressure, exchanged a glance of shared determination with Beth. With a nod, they moved to their stations, their movements precise and efficient, a testament to years of seamless coordination in the face of adversity.
Beth, known for her unwavering focus and quick thinking, shared a silent understanding with Elaine. Together, they pivoted to their respective stations, their synchronization seamless and instinctual. In the heart of chaos, their unity forged a stronghold of resolve, a beacon of stability amid the storm.
"We're on it, Mom," Elaine stated, her hands flying over her console, prepping the EVA suits for another walk.
Beth said decisively, "We'll be ready to assist the Tug team with anything they need." Beth nodded in agreement, both sisters moving to gather the necessary gear. Their well-honed skills in extravehicular activities made them indispensable for the task at hand.
Elaine intonated as she focused on the external sensors: "I'll keep an eye out for any debris or potential hazards for the tug. We don't want any surprises."
Grace Frost, the voice of strategy and foresight, considered the logistics. "Once the ship is secure, we'll need to plot a careful course back. The extra mass will affect our jump calculations."
Jennifer Stark, my youngest sister, a blend of youth and sharp intellect, nodded. Jennifer's hands moved to assist Shinra with the communications setup. Meanwhile, Jamie reviewed the ship's specs, ensuring they had all the data needed for a smooth operation. "Let's ensure we have all the data we need for a smooth operation," she said, her tone serious, betraying the gravity of their task.
Jamie Stark, also my youngest sister, focused on the ship's specs. Her hands moved deftly over the controls as she reviewed the data. "Absolutely," she chimed in, her voice steady as she continued her meticulous review. "We can't afford any oversights if we want this mission to succeed." Her words echoed Jennifer's sentiment, highlighting the importance of thorough preparation.
Jamie added, "I'll run a diagnostic on the derelict's structural integrity. We need to know it can withstand the jump."
Director Senzo's image flickered on the screen once more, a stern reminder of the urgency. "Even if you return now, the fleet can't make the FTL jump until all ships have returned to their hangars and docking bays. You have time to tug the derelict ship back to the ICV Argos-1."
Noah, absorbing every detail, finally responded. "Understood, Director. We'll secure the ship and ensure it's ready for the tug. Argonaut out." His voice, firm and confident, belied the racing thoughts of potential complications and the precision required for their new task.
The directive was clear, and the crew of the Argonaut was ready. Despite the risks, the potential rewards were too significant to ignore. As preparations for the operation began in earnest, the sense of unity and purpose among the crew was palpable. The bridge buzzed with activity, each member of the crew moving with purposeful speed. The Argonaut, once a silent observer among the stars, was now a hive of focused energy, ready to execute a directive that could very well shift the balance of their task. Each member knew their role and was prepared to execute it with precision. The arduous task of securing the derelict ship was directive from above; it was a challenge they were all eager to meet head-on.
"Let's get to work," Noah said, his gaze sweeping over his crew and his family. "We have a ship to secure." His statement, simple yet laden with unspoken responsibility, set them into motion, each person aware of the part they played in the intricate dance of space exploration and survival. Aboard the Argonaut, there was no room for doubt. Only action, determination, and the collective will to succeed in the face of the unknown. Then, they would make the FTL jump to Eden-109 to aid the colonists under siege.

Hello all. Recently, I've decided to try to hunt down the parts needed to rebuild the computer setup that my family had when I was a child. I was born in 1997, and my family got their first PC in 2000. It was a Gateway model, with the green lettering and cow-texture cube for branding. It ran Windows 98 Second Edition and came with a printer, scanner and microphone. Past that, I can't remember a thing about the specs it had. I remember it being pretty solid for point and click games, but it obviously couldn't play the games that began to come out in the Windows XP days. I used this computer for years growing up, until about 2008-9 when my dad sold our house. It got broken in the move, and I haven't seen it since.
I've managed to find the exact tower shape that we had, here is a photo of it: gp71.jpg (584×1121) (wordpress.com)
Doing some reading, I've found that these towers held the Gateway Essential, Performance, and GP6-GP7 series. There may have been more, but the archived links I've found to Gateway's shop don't have the pages I need to see product listings. I remember our computer having a big binder of Microsoft Office/workspace discs with it, and this makes me think that it may have been a G7 since those were more business-oriented from what I've read. I could be completely wrong
I'm searching for what could be a better computer in this line that would be able to handle most games up until 2000 or so. If anyone has any experience with these models and can point me in the right direction, I would love the advice. I have a lot of nostalgia for this computer setup and would love to rebuild it and break out my old CD-ROM's. Any help on this is greatly appreciated!

Does anyone know what the max throughput is for wireguard on this device?
I can’t seem to find it on the tech specs.
For example the cloud gateway ultra is 500mbps for wireguard vpn and site magic but the uxg doesn’t have such a fancy product page.

Hey everyone, just diving into the world of AC+AP and recently snagged two EAP773 APs. I'm a bit of a newbie here, so any tips or advice would be super helpful!
My setup involves a Rogers 1.5Gbps network with a Gen 3 router. I've gone ahead and wired CAT6 through the walls of my semi-detached house across two floors. Now, I'm a bit stumped on which switch/router combo would be best suited for my setup. After some digging, I stumbled upon the TL-SG105PP-M2 on Amazon.ca. It seems like a solid choice with its 2.5G speeds and 4 POE++ ports, boasting up to 60W, which should more than cover the power requirements of the EAP773 (24.05 W according to the specs here: TP-Link EAP773 Specs).
Now, onto the network setup. Should I switch my Rogers router to bridge mode and invest in a TP-Link gateway to pair with it? Then, connect the gateway to the POE++ switch? What does the Controller do? I have a NAS and can I just set up a docker controller without buying the hardware?
Also, I came across this post discussing a new firmware update: New EAP773 Issue with Latest 1012 Firmware. It appears that the update enables EAP773 to run on POE+, which is interesting since I already have a Trendnet POE+ injector (TPE-215GI, 30W). Or can I just invest in a POE+ 2.5G switch instead? Was going to get an all-in-one router with 2.5G and POE++ but couldn't find any.
I'm a bit unsure about my next steps, so any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hey y'all! I recently scored a Gateway Diamondtron VX920 in really, really good condition. I have it hooked up to my 3070ti with a high bandwidth HDMI to VGA converter (which supports up to ~430mhz of video bandwidth) -I know, it's a little overkill for this particular monitor 😆 It looks absolutely stunning just firing up a few test games @ its recommended max resolution of 1600x1200. In particular, RE4 with the fan HD project was mind-blowing.
I'm really having trouble finding the user manual or the service manual for this thing though. There is seemingly very little info from forum posts & even this subreddit as well. Does anyone have some advice for tracking down the manuals? All I have been able to find is a super barebones spec sheet. I'm also wondering how to best test out different resolution/refresh rate combinations to see how much I can squeeze out of this bad boy. Thanks so much! Hoping to also upload some pictures of it in action here when I have the time soon!

This speed test yields around 10 to 15 Mbps Download, while my smart phone gets around 200, which is close to the advertised 250 Mbps from O2. Weirdly enough, the Upload rate is actually in the same range or even a little higher.

iwlwifi.conf is currently
options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 power_save=0
and the 11n_disable=1 is absolutely necessary because otherwise my PC won't connect to the router at all unless I restart it.
Please tell me if there are any other specific details that i should provide. I also would like to apologize for starting two threads within such a short time, but I really want to fix this issue and was unable to do so on my own.
//Edit: re-enabling 11n resulted in 300Mbps, so I guess I'm removing the weird workaround for now and hope that the previous issue of not connecting to the router never shows up again.

I'm looking to purchase my first nice watch, mostly because I stumbled across the SSC917 and fell in love with the looks of the thing. That said,.I'm slightly concerned about size - I've got a 40mm Pagani on now (don't judge me, it was a gateway drug) and it looks a little small. But then my 'normal' watch is a 47mm Garmin Epix2.
Are the SSC917 and SSC923 basically the same watch in slightly different sized cases? Specs wise they look identical otherwise.
I do prefer the metal bracelet of the 917, not sure if getting a 923 then replacing the strap might be viable without adding too much cost?
And just to throw a curve ball, I've also seen the 935. If the dial is as vivid in person as it is in the photos, that could really complicate things.
Any owners of the above, or anyone able to push me in one direction or another?

Can anyone post the specs of power adapter of the Verizon home internet gateway? or a link to power adapters that would work ? Thank you.

I live in an area that has had historically very poor cell signal from all carriers, whether for making calls or data. Wifi calling or VOiP lines are the only way to make calls, and when there is data, over cellular it is usually in the 0.001 to 1 Mbps range. 0.001 (1 kbps) is what I got the last time I tried Verizon, with my phone reporting getting a 5G signal.
Fast forward 3 years. Verizon is now advertising 5G home internet at my address. I'm doing a free trial, and it performs up to 100 / 12 Mbps, ie. 100,000x faster than what I got 3 years ago.
I figured that I would try to switch my phone to the same network as well, in order to finally have a cell signal indoors after 14 years, and not depending as much on Wifi calling, as there are always some weak or dead spots even with 6 Wifi APs.
My phone is a Samsung S22 Ultra, unlocked, originally for T-Mobile . My main carrier was with US Mobile, using the GSM 5G option on the T-Mobile network. I asked them to port my line to Warp 5G, which runs on Verizon. Unfortunately, there were problems with the eSIM. It couldn't get a signal at all, and had to port my line back to GSM 5G. US Mobile Fedexed me a physical SIM. I then ported my line again to Warp 5G - Verizon network. It did connect with a 5G signal, but got terrible speeds, under 1 Mbps, in the same room that the Verizon 5G gateway gets 100 Mbps. In addition, there was a very painful problem with having to set APNs manually each time the phone rebooted. So, I ported the line back to GSM 5G (T-Mobile).
It was obvious that the phone with the Warp 5G SIM, and the Verizon 5G gateway were using different bands, even though they were both connecting to the Verizon network. Unfortunately, the gateway's admin UI has zero indication of which band it's using. Only 4G LTE and 5G signal strength. That makes it very hard to find out what band the phone needs to support to get download speeds in the same ballpark as the gateway. Some suggested that it might be the N77 band, which was not listed as a supported band in the specs for my phone. I spent a while researching it, and it turns out the band selection is up to the carrier, but all versions of the S22 Ultra are supposedly the same hardware. A very post on XDA forums let me unlock all the 4G LTE and 5G bands, including N77. So, I figured I would try the Verizon network again. I didn't want to port my personal line again to Warp 5G. The porting process is painful. It messes with my financial institutions, also, as they monitor carrier changes on the phone line of record. So, I thought of using an eSIM trial to check it instead.
Earlier this morning, I signed up for a Verizon free trial. The eSIM download procedure, from the"add eSIM" menu on the phone, did not work. I just couldn't download the eSIM. I spent a lot of time with their support trying to solve it. I requested a QR code. They said they couldn't provide one. The only option would be a physical SIM. I declined, and cancelled the trial.
This evening, I did a trial with Visible. It took 3 attempts, but with a QR code, the eSIM finally downloaded and installed properly. I had a "ghost" eSIM that I needed to delete. Anyway, it got a 5G signal. I ran a speedtest ... and the speed was 0.01 Mbps, similar to what I got from Verizon 3 years ago. Subsequent tests failed completely - the speedtest app complained the connection was not reliable. I spent more time with support. Finally, they admitted that the trial is only for the basic service, not the Ultra wide band service. There is no free trial for UWB. This isn't disclosed anywhere prior to signing up for the trial. I asked if I could get a 1 day or even 1 hour trial, but they declined. I asked if they could refund if it didn't work for me. I was told only if the data usage was under 100MB. That's barely enough for a couple of speedtests even if the speeds are low. So, I deleted the eSIM and cancelled the trial.
I'm 0 for 3 trying to find out if my phone can actually work on Verizon UWB at my home.
Is there another Verizon MVNO out there that can actually do a trial of Verizon UWB with an eSIM ?

I've been looking for and debating on purchasing my own 5G gateway unlocked but I'm new to this whole setup and tech. By setup I mean mobile hotspots using 5G or 4G and router modem combos. Sitting here wondering if I don't keep T-Mobile home internet would it be worth keeping and buying the gateway they sent me or would it be better to buy a nighthawk or GL router hotspot combo?
Looking for everyone's opinion and ideas and if anybody has any easy spec sheets or comparisons

Hello guys, normally I'm not into the Unifi geaworld so I am still stuck with some questions I have.
I am making a house/residential setup for a friend of mine with the following specs. He needs 5 PoE cameras and 4 access points. The coverage of the access points is about 80 m² (861 ft²) for each floor, first and second floor and one in the garage and another one at the terrace. The wall is made out of 12 cm (4.7 inch) thick brick, but I don't think that is a huge problem for only 80 m² (861 ft²).
Stuff I picked so far.:

Amount	Device
1	UDM-Pro
1	USW-24-POE (95W)
4	U6+
1	UVC-G4 Doorbell Pro PoE Kit
5	UVC-G5-Bullet
1	UACC-Rack-Panel-Patch-Blank-24
1	ACC-DAC-SFP10-0.5M
1	Seagate SkyHawk 8TB
12	U-Cable-Patch-RJ4 0.1m
12	U-Cable-Patch-RJ4 0.3m

I do have a total PoE Power consumption of 76 W, which gives a little headroom
​

1. Does the UDM-Pro support SFP+ to SFP, because the USW-24 only supports SFP 1Gbit, the cable does support 1Gbit ?
2. Is the Seagate SkyHawk compatible for the HDD Slot of the UDM-Pro?
3. Is this setup responsible enough for NVR and Network?
4. Is it possible to setup the NVR part only locally, but still use the protect app for doorbell notifications(locally)?

Thx for the hints ;)
