    Unifi Dream Router on CoolIdeas - Can't do Netflix

    Hi. I went lower. Read about difference between MTU and MSS. MSS being lower than MTU by 40. So I went to 1396 being 40 lower than your suggested 1436 and it worked. Ended at setting MSS at 1400 and Netflix and other blocked sites are working

    Unifi Dream Router on CoolIdeas - Can't do Netflix

    Hi all I deployed a Unifi Dream Router to replace my ageing Apple Extremen Router. I got the internet connection going, but certain sites and services are not working. I logged a ticket with CoolIdeas, but they do not have specific advice (other than decreasing the MTU to 1436). After some...

    How to choose a TV?

    Ah yes. This future proof rabbit hole. My nice R10,000 Denon AVR was future proof when I got it. But it can’t handle 4K or ARC. So I have learnt a couple of expensive lessons trying to future proof. The TV will be 4k. Other than gaming I cannot see what HDMI 2.1 will help me as the ultimate...

    How to choose a TV?

    Thanks Mike. Will have a look. I do not play Games so refresh rate is cool for sport, but I despise it for movies, so not that important now, but I hear you on future proofing. So if this is not an 8k panel, and I will never own a PS5 / X Box Pro, why is HDMI 2.1 important? So if you know...

    Alternative to ADSL - preferably fixed wireless

    Been an ADSL customer for a bit longer than a year. At the beginning I was satisfied with the speed on my 4 Mbps line and could really do everything I got used while living in Canada. Now it's horrendous. Any SD movie rental takes up to 1 hour of buffering (last year I got immediate playback) on...
