What Are You Doing Right Now

Was thinking this morning on the way to work.
We currently use Draytek routers for access to CCTV remotely but wondering should I "upgrade" these to EdgeRouters.But with the Draytek's they have ADSL/FTTC modem built in. The EdgeRouters don't as I don't know how things work in the US how do people set these up?
Do you connect a Modem type device and "forward" the External IP to the Router? Or do you DHCP/Static of the WAN port to the range of the Modem so if there is a problem you can get onto that device and see Sync and login info etc? -

You need a dsl modem though, most people here use the PPPoE on the dsl modem and set it to bridge mode for a similar experience as a cable modem.

That's what I would do. But it's more the troubleshooting side how do you see what the "connection" is doing without the access to the modem

Good morning all!

@fuznutz04 And this is your PC right?
No I have a Dell 710 server at home. So I had to blow away the raid array on the controller.

You mean remotely? Locally there is usually an IP address under a captive portal to access.

Well, congratulations! So what next? Moving to a tent city or just camping out in random wooded areas every night?

Both? We're squatting at my Grandparents for a few months (they are snowbirds) until the market refreshes and some new stock comes out... or we decide what we want to do/where we want to be.

I hear that there is a lot of snow coming down in NY.

Not quite here yet. I'm sure Buffalo is getting hammered. We had a 4 hour power outage this morning. Hopefully not indicative of things to come.

We almost never have ADSL in the US and almost never have modems built into routers. That's reserved for the lowest of low end consumer gear, and ever there it is rare. It happens, but extremely uncommon and basically unheard of in business. It was super rare in business even when DSL was still common.
In the US, for all intents and purposes, your termination is always Ethernet. Modems are provided by the ISP and everything is converted to Ethernet before you have to deal with it.

Doesn't seem like it, just cold and the roads are frozen over.

Except for all those shitty ran SMB that buy home cheap consumer gear andlet the ISP use their "router" instead of getting real equipment. That is by far the majority of accounts in the US by volume.

It's whiskey-o-clock. Been pulling allnighters like a 22 year old in a startup.
Just about to grab a beer with dinner here.
I tried a stiff pour, drank all at once. Probably 8 oz, repeated. I don't know how you take all that vodka.
You just... take it. lol
That's what she said?

I work with lots of tiny, crappy companies and never, ever see this. Don't even know ISPs that offer that.

Again, this shows just how far out of common reality you actually are Scott.
