## Projects
|
||||
|
||||
I have started my slow journey into Golang and spend an skill boost day at work doing some stuff with it. Ended up
|
||||
with a lot of tabs open but it was the most fun I have had for a while! If you're curious the result is on my
|
||||
[gurl repository](https://github.com/fmartingr/gurl), it's not complete (or useful) by any means, but I want to
|
||||
expand it with new _features_ while I learn some more.
|
||||
|
||||
In my spare time I've been working on a simple program to manage my game's screenshots, I have a lot over several
|
||||
computers/operating systems and I want to organize them better to publish them on an online gallery. I'm starting
|
||||
to enjoy Go quite a bit the more I do with it, even if it's only minor stuff.
|
||||
|
||||
## Books
|
||||
|
||||
- [**The Magicians' Guild**](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28249.The_Magicians_Guild) (_Trudi Canavan_)
|
||||
|
||||
Started again from the beginning, I just need to fit the reading habit into my schedule.
|
||||
|
||||
## TVShows and Movies
|
||||
|
||||
- [**The social dilemma**](https://www.netflix.com/title/81254224)
|
||||
|
||||
An interesting movie/documental about how social networks are not our friends. They didn't provide me with
|
||||
anything I didn't knew, but should be interesting for less _techy_ people to watch and understand they are
|
||||
the product.
|
||||
|
||||
- [**Star Wars: The Phantom Menace**](https://www.disneyplus.com/movies/star-wars-the-phantom-menace-episode-i/2ezYynkgW1AH)
|
||||
- [**Star Wars: Attack of the clones**](https://www.disneyplus.com/movies/star-wars-attack-of-the-clones-episode-ii/mgpYHGnzZW6N)
|
||||

|
||||
- [**Star Wars: The Clone Wars (animated series)**](https://www.disneyplus.com/series/star-wars-the-clone-wars/1wYXzjabXGVZ)
|
||||

|
||||
- [**Star wars: Rebels**](https://www.disneyplus.com/series/star-wars-rebels/64MCZgAzY0Zw)
|
||||
|
||||
Star Wars Marathon!
|
||||
|
||||
- [**Bones**](https://www.primevideo.com/detail/0HBVL22LMA40B0XBY30RUOC9EH/)
|
||||
|
||||
Our new show for lunch/dinner/off time. Player 2 totally loves this and was very happy to know we could watch
|
||||
it in order, since on the TV Channels they emit it here episodes seem to be randomized for some reason, so you
|
||||
could watch an episode of the second season followed by another from the last one.
|
||||
|
||||
## Games
|
||||
|
||||
- [**Final Fantasy VII: Remake**](https://store.playstation.com/es-es/product/EP0082-CUSA07187_00-FFVIIREMAKE00000)
|
||||
|
||||
I finally put an end to it. [My review in a separate post](/blog/2020/10/15/final-fantasy-vii-remake-my-review/)
|
||||
|
||||
- [**A Short Hike**](https://www.nintendo.es/Juegos/Programas-descargables-Nintendo-Switch/A-Short-Hike-1821799.html)
|
||||
|
||||
A short (as the name implies) adventure of the path to hike a mountain and all the people you met in between. Love the art style and the simplicity of the game.
|
||||
Liked the idea of having the achievements directly on the switch too, in-game. (I miss that from Steam on the Switch)
|
||||
I'm a fan of this kind of games you can enjoy and put an end to them in a few hours.
|
||||
|
||||
- [**Terraria**](https://store.steampowered.com/app/105600/Terraria/)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
We managed to **complete it**. Which in our case meant getting al achievements. It was a really fun
|
||||
ride! This game is easily one of my favourites and for the price you can get it is completely a must, you get
|
||||
an incredible amount of content and entertainment, better played with friends!
|
||||
|
||||
- [**Starbound**](https://store.steampowered.com/app/211820/Starbound/)
|
||||
|
||||
Terraria, but in **space**! And I have a MECH!
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
- [**Graveyard Keeper**](https://www.nintendo.es/Juegos/Programas-descargables-Nintendo-Switch/Graveyard-Keeper-1579157.html)
|
||||
|
||||
Got this for the Switch because it was supposed to be more linear and light than Stardew Valley, but upon
|
||||
starting I got tons of things to do and it got a bit overwhelming for me right now, wanted something more
|
||||
lightweight to play at the moment. On hold for now.
|
||||
|
||||
- [**10 mg :)**](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1425380)
|
||||
|
||||
This is a really small game (10mg stands for 10 minute games) as a tribute to the arcade classics with some kind of twist.
|
||||
I got near 20 minutes of gameplay from this and it was fun to go through it :)

title = "Setting up TP-Link's Archer C5400 in AP mode"
|
||||
+++
|
||||
|
||||
I recently bought a firewall router for home to improve our general stability (ISP provided routers kinda suck) and
|
||||
improve security at home. The more smart devices connected to the network the more concerned I become of this kind
|
||||
of stuff.
|
||||
|
||||
In this case my problem was very simple: I have the firewall router and the access point router. My access point
|
||||
router (TP-Link's Archer C5400) exposes it's own DHCP server over it's own LAN segment. For my firewall router to
|
||||
work properly it has to recognise all devices on the network and with the access point creating it's own LAN,
|
||||
everything connected via Wifi was showing up in the firewall as one device (the access point router).
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
<!--more-->
|
||||
|
||||
The router's interface didn't allow me to set up AP mode, thus only letting me use it as a router. I contacted support
|
||||
and they told me that the version the router I had (V1) didn't support AP mode only the newest version (V2, from 2017)
|
||||
supported it, or some other latest devices.
|
||||
|
||||
I didn't want to gave up on my router because it improved my wireless performance at home significantly from the ISP
|
||||
router and even some Unifi's I tried in the past but in the end I got an AX6000 to try it out (which was the newer
|
||||
version of the one I have so I expected it to perform similarly).
|
||||
We tested it for some days and wireless performance wasn't as good as with the C5400 and some of our devices lost
|
||||
connectivity from time to time so I ended up returning it and keeping the one I had.
|
||||
|
||||
After thinking for a while and even considering looking for a C5400-V2 I tested to manually set it up on my access
|
||||
point before wasting more money on devices, after all, I was very happy with this one. And to my surprise I could
|
||||
enable AP mode on the router very easily.
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
1. Connect to your C5400 via Wifi (Ethernet should work as well)
|
||||
|
||||
2. Disconnect the WAN cable from the router (you will lose internet connection but you can access the C5400's web
|
||||
interface)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
3. Disable DHCP. You will retain your lease until you reconnect again.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
4. Give the router a free IP address from the range your router is exposing on it's LAN segment.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
In this case the LAN segment is `192.168.1.0/24` and the DCHP esposes from the `192.168.1.150`-`200`,
|
||||
in order to have the IP easily accesible I gave it the `192.168.1.2` while the router is the `192.168.1.1`.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Connect an ethernet cable coming from the router to a LAN port (**not WAN**).
|
||||
|
||||
6. Reboot your router.
|
||||
|
||||
After your access point has finished rebooting it should have the IP address you set on the LAN settings and
|
||||
all devices connected to the access point should have their IP Addresses allocated by the router, successfuly
|
||||
making the C5400 a proper access point.
|
||||
|
||||
I'm unsure if this works in other models as well, but I belive it should and if you came here looking for a
|
||||
change give it a try and let me know if it worked for your model as well so I can update the post accordingly.
