step up transfomer

[keith with the teef]

If you have a modem and router then look at this.

Its kinda a step up transformer but obvs you need an electrical signal that cam be amplified hence modem.

Not to sure where the batteries come into it. Like ferrous is kinda where its at but i’m not sure. As in remove batteries use Iron  of similar shape and size.

Anyway it wont work for me. No modem router set up and I stumbled across this video today.

Looks like a load of bollocks to me. Bandwidth throttling doesn’t work like that. Maybe it does in some weird US of A ISP setup.

I just saw their other videos about increasing your WiFi speed by 3x or 4x and even 10x. Have they told Intel? Could save them a fortune in R & D.

Sorry but Nah.

Your router is configured via DHCP, not some mystical analogue pulse and the ip address it gives you is all your isp’s network needs to know to set your speed.

An ADSL modem uses several dirrerent analogue carrier frequency’s to send data and the line is continually tested to see which frequency’s are working best at any moment but thats it for analogue.

A fiber connection doesn’t use analogue at all.

Great replies and well spotted.

Convincing video though but for me the batteries was the give away.

Don’t mean to hijack but is there an easy way to sit a pi (or similar) Infront of my router and block android and apple apps like Snapchat etc…

Sounds like you need a firewall with blacklists Steve. You would probably have to analyse your traffic to see what sites are hogging bandwidth.

[Dave Rice]

Steve, you can do it with a Draytek router and a Web Content Filter license (£25 pa) https://www.draytek.com/support/knowledge-base/5205 The DrayTek Vigor 2762AC is £190 with the first year’s licence.

You should be able to add social networking sites to a Pihole blacklist but it’s easily got around by changing the DNS on the client. The Draytek is blocking the actual connection and the black list is maintained in real time (that’s what you’re paying for). It also parses the whole url and not just the top level plus embedded links.

This is whats needed a touch of Mission Impossible.

The issue I seemed to keep across was I could block sites on my router (most in fact), was blocking app access. Site access is simple.

I did some research on Snapchat last night, and it seemed blocking about 6 URLs sorts the app access out.

Money is a little tight atm, so I’ll do some more reading over Xmas.

I want snap chat, FB, insta, and probably a couple I can’t think of at the me.

My 13 has been having dodgy pics from horrible cunts (sorry for the language).
