Generally you actually will have very few problems if your equipment is perpendicular to the antennae. However as soon as you start trying to use it at an angle through walls, forget it. For example, the back room here is probably 20m away at a 90 degree angle, which has to go through about 4 walls. No problems with signal. My bedroom on the other hand - the walls are at almost exactly 45 degrees, and I count 4 walls between me and the antennae about 5m away. If you want specific numbers and math showing the dB loss involved, I'll be quite happy to bore you to death. But the gist is this: Keep stuff high-gain and perpendicular and you'll be fine. That why Ruckus has a market; I was seriously thinking of going with one of their APs, then decided due to ever changing standards, it was easier to get cheaper WiFi routers, and have 2 at each end of my house. That way when they die (everything electronic does), there will be a low cost replacement, and also I can split the load between two connections (both with 1Gb backhaul back to the switch). akashra Pugs no idea why you have two NAS's.. one is enough... That's the way, judge before knowing a persons requirements or uses. We have three NASes here, two with an additional 5-bay enclosure each - a total of 25TB. Sounds like Synology NAS units; I wonder how anyone can back up their NAS without a second NAS, or do people not bother with backups nowadays?

Two HP Microservers, each connected to a Lian-Li EX-50, and a QNap TS-410. They run various bits and pieces - Subversion, JIRA, Hudson, MySQL/apache etc (ie, software development stuff) on one, Serviio (ie, media transcoding stuff) on another, Transmission/sabnzbd/SickBeard on another. Keeps load nice and low and evenly spread. Serviio chews a surprisingly small amount of CPU. Building a Delta 21 at Craigieburn - http://homeofzero.blogspot.com.au/ Deposit: 26/02. Contract: 22/05.

Serviio chews a surprisingly small amount of CPU. Do you know how to load balance between two NASs? What I need is a load balancing server to distribute the load between my two. Heavy lifting video transcode (such as advert stripping) I still use my main PC, but for streaming, I just use my QNAP. But haven't found a way to spread demand between my 419 and 439, as both are equally fast file serving (and both have trunked Gb connections). Re: Data Hardware - Physical locations ? 57Dec 30, 2012 1:04 pm a few little things to add... I generally avoid wifi where possible, if you have to have it (laptops/mobile devices) I generally suggest just throw access points where your likely to use them, so for example one in a cupboard in your kitchen and another in the roof above your bedrooms, shame wireless devices don't move to higher strength access points as fast as they should, something else is even though you get many channels to choose from, if you have multiple access points spread through the house we seemed to get best reception turning one access point to 5ghz and the other 2.4ghz so they are not fighting each other. I can't speak for people with full house theater systems where the Amps are located in the rack, but we have switch's that throw out over 100w of heat in sealed cabinets with no overheating issues at all, keep in mind that you'd want to keep an eye on boxes with CPU's and stacks of hard drives though... (you can always duct them outside though, just get a cheap 120 or 240mm computer fan and a bathroom duct, you can throw the air straight out of the house) it seems excessive but I've always been a fan of sealed cabinets Slooowwwwly getting a Manhatten 35 in Middleton Grange Re: Data Hardware - Physical locations ? 58Jan 01, 2013 3:13 pm PHL akashra Keeps load nice and low and evenly spread.

It's probably a discussion for another thread, but the amount of control you have over the linux kernel on QNap devices probably isn't sufficient to do everything you want using just the devices alone. As such you're probably going to need another box if you really want to go down that path - especially if you're putting so much load on them that the 419 or 439 are struggling. I must be honest, I've never really put much thought in to the architecture or hardware requirements of load-balancing on a home network. The stuff I deal with at work starts at about $40,000, so uhm... probably not very relevant to this discussion. Building a Delta 21 at Craigieburn - http://homeofzero.blogspot.com.au/ Deposit: 26/02.

Re: Data Hardware - Physical locations ? 59Jan 01, 2013 4:03 pm kinda the thing with this discussion is also that who runs 40k worth of computer equipment at home? and how can afford all the power/cooling to run said gear I'd suggest fancy switch's and all sorts of stuff for people, but when you look at even the idle power requirements of this gear I end up going back to run as little as possible!

Oh no, that's a single 1RU unit 40k yes, is excessive, but there would be plenty of people running 3-5k routers in their home setups; and then a heap of other systems just to do day-to-day stuff.
