Instead of hand written "cable labels" consider using a "Label Maker." Using an eight year old Brother PT90, for example; there are cheaper or 'better' ones. No smeared ink, easy to create and remove, easy to repeat print. Easier to read too.

"Of course it was the last cable tested"
I say this a lot when I find things, then I'm always reminded of Bill Engvall: "Of course it's in the last place you looked. You wouldn't keep looking for it after you found it"

Good video !
Quick tip, check how you want to mount the router before drilling a hole in your wall next time, the cables could have come directly on the ports instead of under the router

[ArttuKuikka]

you might be able to use POE adapters with regular DC barrel jacks at both ends for your modem, and just power that with the ups

[Millmantv]

Keep going with all this and other content. The big guys don't really make realistic changes so your content hits the right spot. I enjoy all your videos because its the stuff I do at home.

[NeptuneSega]

You can move that company router anywhere, just get someone to pull or extend that fiber cable if you don't want to do it yourself

Good luck with that CyberPower UPS. We've had so many issues with CyberPower just dying well within a year that we cut them from our vendor list, no longer stock/resale them, and went with APC.

In theory, you could move your modem into the closet, by "extending" our ISPs fibre house connection with a new fibre that you run from the closet to the house-port.

Fibre cables are fairly cheap and you have everything in one spot

Im in the process of moving and my abomination of a network setup needs to be redone. So glad this came as a recommendation. Have a similar network enclosure in my apartment so I will be following this process!

Thank you!!

[MrTomo]

confused you have 1gb into the router then feeding a 2.5gb switch from a 1gb source you need a 2.5gb port on the router

[DozIT]

You can get 12v battery backups, they are tiny — picture USB power bank. Assuming your modem uses a 12v barrel connector it’ll work perfectly for your needs.

I’ve used them in the past to power LTE modems as a secondary connection.

It's not really relevant to this video but do you ever plan on revisiting the handheld PC you did a few years back?

[TheMchip]

you can try to power up the fiber modem using POE injectors ... one on each side ... one to power in (in thewall netwoork closet) and one to power out (modem) ... to use the UPS

[joao.sampaio]

it got great. Btw, you should ask your Internet provider to reenistal the modem on the loundry room. They just have to put a new cable, its very simple. That way you have everyhing on the same place, connected to the same UPS.

[JaymesonLaudon]

You should try to build a Macintosh plus or SE sleeper build.

[ajnstajn]

you could have mounter your router on the panels door somewhere above and thry the door in the equipment and use that cable hole thingy below for your server stuff

[jamess]

Need sunscreen for those 10Gbps SPF ports 😉

For the anchors to activate: Make sure the screws go all the way in tight to expand the anchors in place, then set the screws to the correct mounting point

[storyinmemo]

If you have it in you to pull some wire through a wall, I'd suggest running a length of fiber to the garage, coupling it to the jack there, and then moving the modem to sit with the rest of your network equipment.

[ioannisk]

One of the parameters to take into consideration when selecting UPS devices is how feasible is to replace the battery. I proactively replace the ones I got every 3 years.
