I would like to thanks all of you guys for the effort you put into that work.
I ordered some MSO5074s and plan to upgrade them.
A stupid question though
: is the router absolutely needed ? A direct ethernet connection would not work ?
Best

- You're Welcome, Much appreciated

- Cool
A stupid question though
- THERE ARE NO STUPID QUESTIONS....
well... I mean... LOL
Unless you ask then i repeat then you ask and i repeat and we do that 15times
That would be stupid

But.... As you were LOL
is the router absolutely needed ? A direct ethernet connection would not work ?
This is a catch-22 question and answer.
You see (Before i give you the answer)...
What you're talking about required a "Cross over Cable" which works on a Peer To Peer Topology.
This is basics of Networking.
Now.. if you were familiar with the basics of Networking YOU WOULDN'T BE ASKING THIS QUESTION.
If you were familiar with Crossover Cables and the OSI Model, this question wouldn't exist
SO FOR YOU
FOR THE SAKE OF NOT BRICKING YOUR SCOPE
FOR THE SAKE OF STUPID CRAP NOT HAPPENING
MY OFFICIAL POSITION IS............ YES FOR YOU A ROUTER IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
The I.P. Address is required, Because of how the script works.
INTERNET CONNECTION HOWEVER... IS NOT REQUIRED
So, to be clear, You can pull some shitty router out of the garage and all you need is
ROUTER
POWER SUPPLY
ETHERNET CABLE
Router cannot be in Bridge mode (Must be in Router Mode with DHCP Enabled)
But, Internet is not required
LAN Connection is required, don't go down the WiFi Road
You can find routers on gumtree for Free if you don't have one, but i'd be asking...
How the hell are you on this forum if you don't have a router ?
Hope that helps
