Upgrading my Hiper internet (Fiber) with Ubiquiti

The home network finally got an upgrade. The uplink from the house is a 1G/1G fiber connection with Hiper as ISP. Wifi was running of a Google Wifi (1gen) network with 3 nodes in a network. It worked, but with Wifi being somewhat aged no device on wifi would be able to utilize the full bandwidth :(

This is just a brief post on the plan, the equipment and the future plans for this new Ubiquiti network.

Ubuntu: Changing your IP number

Sure it doesn’t happen that often, but sometimes you might need to change the IP number of your machine running Ubuntu. Either to configure it with a static IP number on your LAN or temporarily to configure a Wifi router - the latter being my case.

The first shot at changing the ip number, was going to the “System” menu, choosing Administration and Network Tools. It sounded just about right - but it’s wrong. Sure you view settings and some statistics, but it’s all read only.
