Fair enough. Is there anything one can do to mitigate? Like I know for the recent issue in the news, a mitigation strategy for consumers is to basically reboot their router often. I keep my router and all hardware up to date, and try to follow news here. Not sure if there is really anything else I could do.
Oh wow, hard to believe a huge bug like that would make it to production. What do you recommend instead? Stick with TP-Link?
From what I’ve seen it seems consumer routers, but it raises flags is all, and makes me reconsider options.
So I just added a TP-Link switch (TL-SG3428X) and access point (EAP670) to my network, using OPNSense for routing. I’m still within the return window for both items. I understand the article mentions routers, but should I consider returning these, and upping my budget to go for ubiquity? The AP would only be like $30 more for an equivalent, so that’s negligible, but a switch that meets my needs is about 1.6x more. And still only has 2 SFP+ ports, while I need 3 at minimum.
I found the three newish Tomb Raider games to be a great mix of a sort of open world feel at times where you have things to explore, while being very much on rails. Each arc in the story gives you an area to explore and your actions in that area progress the story. You get some weapon and ability upgrades throughout. I came in not expecting much and couldn’t put the first one down. I think I finished Tomb Raider 2013 to 100% in about 20-25 hours and it was excellent. Will probably do another playthrough at some point, still haven’t played the third.
I actually tried this as my second step in trouble shooting, the first being using different ports.
In the non-omada management software, it defaults to 10G, and if the devices is on before the switch it negotiates 10G correctly and works at full speed (tested with iperf3). As soon as any of the 10G connected devices is rebooted, I’m back to 1G. To fix it, I then have to set the port to 1G with flow control on, apply changes, save config, refresh page, change to 10G with flow control off, apply, save config and it goes back to 10G again. Alternatively I can reboot their switch and it’s fine again.
In Omada its the same, fewer steps to get there but I have to sometimes do it 2-3 times before it works.
Same issue with both 10G TP-Link switches, so I’m thinking it might be the SFP. Using Intel SFP+ with FS optical cables. I’m using a DAC for the uplink from the 10G switch to my unmanaged 2.5G switch, and that doesn’t have the problem of dropping, always works max speed.
