My home network upgrading version 2.0 – part I

My home network upgrading version 2.0 – part I

Published January 9, 2022 by ice7co

It is almost 2 years since last my home network upgrading that I changed ASUS AC-88U hardware router to DIY All-In-One X86 software router with unRAID system for the internet connection. AC-88U is only running as WiFi access point.

So far, it is serving well for my Work-From-Home in this COVID-19 pandemic. But there are some concerns.

  • No separated the guest network. Guest is able to access LAN.
  • Network security concern as more IOT devices connected into home network.
  • Will affect internet connection, when doing any change with All-In-One server.
  • Consider to upgrade to WiFi6 with better wireless connection and VLAN setup
  • Upgrade to 2.5G wire LAN network connection with NAS and unRAID server.

Our new outdoor jogging 🏃🏻‍♂️gadget – Huawei Watch Fit⌚️

Published November 14, 2021 by ice7co

During the 🔟 🔟 sales, I managed to buy two Huawei Watch Fit ⌚️ at very good 👍price 🏷 in Shopbee. One will be the surprise birthday gift for Ling. The other one is for myself😂.

The previous BD gift – Fitbit Charge 2 is almost 5 years and with black&white LCD. It is time to replace with colour LCD and more functions one. I did homework and selected Huawei Watch Fit as it has a wonderful AMOLED screen, light body weight and long battery life (about 10 days after fully charge). All of this meets my requirement. So it has been in shopping trolley quite a longtime.

As lots of unbox video over the internet, I am not going to show here. Just to show some photo of watch fit and share my experience after one week using.

Unraid NAS服务器 🖥 DIY 折腾记— 软件篇

Published December 28, 2020 by ice7co

在上一篇主要是介绍 Unraid NAS服务器硬件, 接下是NAS服务器系统及应用软件的安装. 目前比较通用NAS服务器系统主要有ESXI, FreeNAS, OpenMediaVault 和Unraid. 他们各有千秋. 经过比较和考虑, 我最终选择了Unraid系统.

Unraid系统的安装其实很简单. 第一步从官网下载 Unraid USB Flash Creator来创建启动U盘. 具体操作按软件上提示就可以了.

接下来把创建好的启动U盘装到NAS服务器USB端口, 然后在BIOS时设置从U盘启动服务. 接通电源后, NAS服务器就会自动安装Unraid系统. 安装过程就不在这描述了. 可以在网上找到大把的教程和视频.

下好就是安装的Unraid系统界面.

自从入手了J1900 X86软路由后, 我就在软路由器DIY的路上渐行渐远. 在张大妈也浏览 了不少大神们的Unraid server DIY贴子, 心里开始种草开始计划我的 Unraid AIO (All-In-On) 服务器.

Unraid系统可以安装iKuai / OpenWrt 软路由虚拟机, 并通过Docker加装Jellyfin / Transmission等应用就可以成为一台家用AIO服务器.

决定DIY Unraid AIO服务器后, 我开始选择硬件并在淘宝, 京东, 拼多多, 新蛋网和亚马逊上搜索价格. 最终确认配置并趁双十一和黑五促销购入所有的硬件.

硬件全家福 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 😆
