FTTR fiber optic Gigabit to the whole house to the room, one year after the installation to tell the truth
The FTTR whole-house fiber promoted by the service center claims gigabit direct access to every room. I installed it and used it for a year. The room speed test at 940 is really great, but the pitfalls of switching to bridge and IPTV are really a rip-off. Three types of people install it with their eyes closed; avoid these three types, and I've already done the math for you....

The NAS red disk lasted for five years before dying. I missed three of the first five signs of failure.
NAS mechanical drives don't break down suddenly; it often takes about half a year from the emergence of bad circuits to complete failure. The five warning signs of my Western Digital red disc—clicking noise, speed cliff, poor sleep quality, background alarm, and pending sector—I stubbornly missed the first three. This article explains the red and yellow cards of the five SMART numbers, and if you find any issues, back up before replacing the disc....

49 smart home routers, the WiFi version and the gateway version are more than a little different
The more smart devices you buy, the sooner or later the router won't be able to keep up. I counted all 49 devices at home one by one and realized that the WiFi and Zigbee gateway versions differ by several times in the router's slots. This article covers how to choose protocols before adding equipment, how to separate 2.4G private networks, and where to place gateways—all about network planning....

The NAS hard drive keeps waking up from hibernation. After checking the logs all night, I found that these are the only ones who secretly write to the disk.
NAS has the hard drive put into sleep but finds the hard drive keeps spinning? After setting it to 10 minutes of sleep mode, the hard drive was awakened more than 40 times overnight. I logged in with SSH and waited overnight using iotop, uncovering those who secretly wrote on qBittorrent, monitoring containers, and transcoding directories. This article clearly explains the troubleshooting order and which drives should be put to sleep....

I used an old router as a bypass router to advertise, and the first time I connected it, it paralyzed FamilyMart.
Bypass router means the main router continues its routine, while an old device has a network cable hanging nearby just to run ads for dirty work. I built one with a dust-collecting N1 box. The first time I connected, I forgot to turn off DHCP and crashed my FamilyMart network. This article explains the four steps of connection and the four pitfalls I fell into at once....

Feiniu NAS plays with Docker, understands image port mapping and installs 8 containers
Feiniu NAS wants to install a downloader or photo album, but the tutorial is full of terms like image, container, port mapping, directory mounting, and so on—just one glance and you're discouraged? I've used more than half a year of experience to clearly explain the essential things you need to understand when getting started with Docker: why data can't be stored in containers, who is on the left and right sides of the port, why does the container still exist after deleting something? After reading this, you can install the first one yourself....

How to choose AC+AP and Mesh networking, first look at the decoration and embedded network cables
Are you torn between AC+AP or Mesh networking for renovation? I installed Mesh in my old house and panel AP in my new home for over a year. There are three real pitfalls: wireless backhaul speed drops, roaming switching, POE power supply, and cost billing. This article highlights the differences between the two solutions. If you don't have pre-installed network cables, don't force AC+AP....

RAID1, RAID5, and RAID6 have all been used, and NAS is selected based on the number of disks.
NAS the first thing to do after installation is to choose RAID mode. What exactly is the difference between RAID1, RAID5, RAID6, or BASIC without RAID6? I use the real data of three arrays I've built: how to calculate available capacity, what happens if a disk breaks, how long it takes to rebuild, and what RAID can't save—a table to help you identify the situation. ...

Two broadbands were superimposed, and dual WAN, single line multi-dial, and link aggregation were all tried, and the final solution was the most primitive.
have two broadband lines at home and want to stack the speed? I spent half a year working on China Telecom's 500Mbps and China Mobile's 300Mbps, going through four main roads: multi-WAN load balancing, single-line multi-dial, optical modem bridging, and link aggregation. Which one really boosts speed, which is psychological comfort, why can't single-threaded downloads go anywhere, and why does a computer use two cables at the same time? This article covers the whole truth. ...

Feiniu NAS is powered on 24 hours a day and has been running for a year. The actual electricity bill is different from what you think.
many people want to buy a NAS but worry about wasting electricity when running 24/7, I put my N100 Feiniu NAS on the meter at home and tested it for a whole year: how many watts it has in standby, whether it saves on hard drive sleep, how much does it compare to Synology's four-drive drive, and how much does it cost in a year? This article will show you the math. ...
