Oh I am. The shits also engineered really dumb. The piece of equipment goes rs232-485 then back to 232 to a 232-ethernet converter.

so it's rs485 on the cable then?

because im seeing two pairs

I'd use all 8 but the company that made it only uses 4. No it's ethernet

Tcp

well you'll get 100mbit if it works best case, since you're missing half the pairs

weird setup

the bigger question here is who engineered that pos

Stewart and Stevenson

S&S. If you've ever worked on their shit, you know my pain

am i glad we do all our ethernet and rs485 equipment in house

you could try twisting the wires back i guess

That's what I said but they want to take the boxes back to the electronics shop to redo

I use old CAT5E cables at 1Gbps

works well

gotta chink as much as I can

judging by the fact that you're running that magic shitpile of rs232/485/ethernet converters your speeds are probably well below 10 mbit anyways

decent hardware should be able to negotiate that, even over the worst cables

Literally got just a $60 chink TP-Link and CAT 5.E cables and easily do 1Gbps local transfers and WAN at 100Mbps if internet is needed.

You need a good enough switch for this, I tried going cheaper 100MBps-rated but it dies if the connection number goes too high due to weak CPU etc

tfw heaviest lifting on the network switching is done with TL-SG10E what i paid 20 for

used?

Ah no

Right

those are pretty cheap to begin with

I needed 5 GHz faggotry for xiaomeme phone

which automatically means it costs extra

i have other stuff for wireless

all heavy stuff is wired

Netgear R7000 takes care of wireless and visitor wifi

i've got a tplink deco thingie

<:thonkang:327933449597878312>

the classic cheap solution

add a switch

always works wonders

tbh i should add more hw to network

one apu4c4 (or 2d4) is tempting me but it has been so for years

to beef up hw-firewall and packet inspection powers

any good wireless dual band pcie adapters? or should I just be a man and pull some cables
