[QUOTE=Brt5470;50480228]So the network on my end works fine, but the family is noticing some problems with wireless connectivity. So i had a thought. I'd get a dedicated access point, get a powerline adapter and run the access point in the center of the house, with the powerline adapter feeding it off a port on our AC66U.
Do powerline adapters act as virtual lines, or act as its own network?
When I move out, I'd take the AC66 with me probably, from there I'd like to put the modem in the house directly on the powerline adapter to send it to the access point and just put a router on that jack as well.
Would that work?[/QUOTE]
Power line is just literally a layer 2 connection using copper. Think of it as just an Ethernet cable.

So if I wanted to send a power-line to a center outlet to setup a dedicated AP, I'd be good?
When I leave I'd have it go from Modem > Powerline > Router/Switch/AP
In which case I think I might do that.
A TP-Link "1.2Gbps" model is about 70bucks which seems reasonable to me.

As in an AP and the router in different areas but both power line? I honestly have no clue how power line handles multiple things like that. Or if it can.
I'd only need one pair of adapters. For right now to hook an AP to the the current router. In the future, just to connect the modem to the AP/Router/Switch location. I'd probably have it as just a single router since most stuff in the house is wireless.

An AP isn't a router so I'm a tad confused, but I'm pretty sure what you're saying is all good. Honestly I'd just grab a unifi outdoor, put it in the middle of the house, strap a pair of big omni antennas to it, and call it a day.
Why is Powershell so fucking shit? Can't figure out full width characters and it makes writing anything after a full width path fucking impossible. Have to run a command as an admin to enable running a fucking script? Why?

My current idea is to "move" the wireless to the center of the house. So i'd shut off the wireless on my AC66R for now and then use a dedicated AP hooked to the router through a powerline pair to feed the house's wireless needs.

Okay, gotcha. Your text diagram was confusing me. Looks all good then.
Sorry I was stating two separate scenarios before. But ok.
Was also talking to Amiga about maybe going with the Unifi AP and wallmounting it cleanly and having it tap onto those Powerline adapters.

Yeah. Hit me up with the square footage per level and building materials of your house and such. I've designed and implemented over 50 unifi projects, many of which were huge or in subpar conditions so I've got a pretty good idea on the real world capabilities of all their products.
Well, florida house. One floor, drywall and metal studs. maybe ~2500ft^2, With talking to Amiga, I'm thinking putting one of these directly in the middle of the house running off a TPLink 1.2gbps powerline adapter.
I think it's the best option to serve the house.

Yeah that should be good. With drywall you're generally looking at 3 rooms in any direction. You don't have the sheet rock or mesh plaster we do here. I've got that radio in my house and it does fine for a small 2 story.
but isn't sheetrock just the brand name for drywall.
What would be a good place to start getting more in depth with networking topics? I'm at the point now where I can set up a simple home network no problem, but works like "layer 2" and "bridge mode" fluster me and I want to get a bit deeper than "how to setup IP/DNS/DHCP"
[QUOTE=Brt5470;50481240]but isn't sheetrock just the brand name for drywall.[/QUOTE]
It is, but we tend to use the term sheetrock when it's the cement backer shit. Quicker to say and we know what it means.

[sp]Are they really going to pull this though? The branding for OS X was so bold and strong, This is what happens when Mac OS X goes through identity crisis. We need to be supportive.
Just as I was thinking they would unify the branding as iOS X for the 10th iteration of it :([/sp][/QUOTE]
Considering the rest of their naming conventions I don't blame them for unifying the one outlier.

Large open source projects generally have guidelines for contributing. Here's FreeBSD's: [url]https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/contributing/[/url]
As for version control, most projects do not take VCS-native commits. Even the Linux kernel still works on "you send diffs to the mailing list, and if Linus likes them he merges them in".
Keep in mind that they won't be very lenient with newcomers. Projects like FreeBSD are large infrastructure projects that have relatively little to gain from individual contributions - especially new features - and are more concerned with sticking to their procedures and standards of code quality than not pushing interested people away.
