    Syswan route dual wan

    The SW24 is rated at exactly . . . 40mb/s. There is practically nothing you can do to resolve this with your current hardware. As SEM stated, you need an upgrade if you want to be able to pass more traffic. OTOH, if you don't need the extra bandwidth, just call charter and reduce the level of...

    Authentication in an Wired Network

    There are a few ways to do this based on what your needs really are; If you are just looking to block access to the internet . . . a captive portal authenticating to either a simple passcode or database will work. If you are looking to completely block access to the LAN . . . 802.1x...

    Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite vs PRO

    Bit of a cheeky one, ain't ya? Ubiquiti is quite a bit more like Cisco than Asus in that the forums have active design discussions going on with the developers. Why you would choose to ignore this resource when you are going end to end with a single company's products seems a bit odd to me. It's...

    Latency question

    10GBaseT : 1.6usec on RX, 0.6usec on TX 10G SFP+ : 0.3usec on RX, 0.3usec on TX Information is based on testing from Mellanox. Different devices will have different results . . . but a good rule of thumb is for storage IO, SFP+ usually has half the latency of using 10GBase-T

    Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite vs PRO

    Welcome, First off, the best place to discuss this is the Official Ubiquiti forums located here: http://community.ubnt.com/t5/EdgeMAX/bd-p/EdgeMAX Second there exists two models that can do exactly what you requested: ER-X-SFP ERPOE-5 Differences: ER-X-SFP Has a faster CPU for QOS processing...

    Router choice for GB fiber connection.

    PCI-E overhead in version 1.0 and 2.0 is ~20% PCI-E v 1.0 is 2.5GT/s not 2.5Gb/s. This is at x16 lanes. This ends up being a maximum of 250MB/s of theoretical bandwidth.

    The 2440 is 1.7 ghz, 2 cores, 4GB RAM The 4860 is 2.4 ghz. 4 cores, 8GB RAM

    Router choice for GB fiber connection.

    Thats not always true. Take an older PCI-E 1.0 based unit. Take both NICs and connect them via a single 1x connection. You are now sharing 250MB/s (roughly 2gigabit) for both NICs combined in both directions at the same time. With overhead thats going to be less than 1000/1000

    New Home Construction Network Advice

    I would strongly recommend you use a patch panel. Take a piece of plywood. Stick it on the wall with 3" screws into the studs. That is your baseboard. I personally prefer something around 4' x 4'x 1/2" You want it to end up looking something like these;

    New Home Construction Network Advice

    Well there is something slightly expensive you can try that my father did when renovating his house personally (he's a contractor specialized in low voltage wiring). In all situations where he could (exterior and load bearing walls that lined up between floors) he ran a pipe from every data box...

    Help with VLAN and DHCP

    Try disconnecting the switch and test a device on port 3 and again on port 4. Can you get an address in either situation?

    Home network speed issues

    My mistake then. I was not aware that POF hardware such as switches and SFP modules became commercially available. Last I checked they were demo units and not being sold at retail.

    Home network speed issues

    If you wish to test the comtrend adapters just put a pair of them on the same leg of a power strip. Then go out from the Router into one adapter and then out from the second to your computer. If you still get the same 2.6mb then yeah . . . the adapters are just plain bad. If you get a much...

    Shared Wireless bridge

    The efficiency is ~95% depending on load at 24v. It drops to ~89% at around 12v. It drops to ~93% at around 54v The sweet spot is 24v - 48v depending on the voltage of the radios you are trying to power. For example if you got 5x 24v radios and 1x 48v, go with 24v as the source.

    Shared Wireless bridge

    Look at a Netonix switch model WS-12-250-DC. I have used it to power a pair of AirFibers, 4x 90 degree sectors and a router. Everything was being powered by a pickup truck at a beach during this past summer.

    Shared Wireless bridge

    You are correct on the first part; assumptions of the drawing. The drawing assumes only 1 single RF link between "town" and "hill" On the second count of failover. Correct, if say ISP A uses Coax and ISP B uses ADSL . . . smaller chance of both being down at the same time. Sometimes however...

    Shared Wireless bridge

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4opHQDEV9aNZVZ1TW1BN2V0VDQ/view?usp=sharing Just confirm for me that this is the setup. If this is the case the benefit from using VLANs would be minimal but there. The main benefit would be if your router supports WAN failover and the ISPs offer more than a...

    Routers similar to MikroTik CCR1072-1G-8S+

    The CC1072 is not a switch. It is a router. You would be just as well if not better served getting something like a Dell X4012 along with a CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+

    Shared Wireless bridge

    Any chance you can get a diagram in something like Visio or Draw.io ? It would help a lot in understanding what it is exactly that you wish to accomplish.

    Split a FTTP Connection between businesses

    Well OP mentioned that they don't have the 891. The ISP only offered it for a fee . . . possibly a very large initial and monthly fee. You also lose the ability to set your own QOS and limits. Usually those are the biggest reasons a business gets its own router instead the ISP supplied/offered...
