    Router reliability

    Why would it be the user's fault that such a router would fail? sure, you could go nuts . . . Dual RAID controllers using RAID 1 for 4 SLC SSDs for primary and secondary OS in case of failover. ECC RAM using mirroring. Single CPU, no hyper-threading. A second CPU would just decrease reliability...

    Router reliability

    Even if you were correct that apple has a 100% success rate and they have never manufactured a single defective Airport AC ever thus never requiring any of the troubleshooting steps I stated . . . I was not directly disparaging apple or any other manufacturer. What my original point was is that...

    Router reliability

    Lol, I'm serious though. What would you realistically call apple up for on those units and expect something other than the following scenarios: A. hold down the reset button. B. Unplug and plug it back in. C. Update to the latest firmware. D. Update your computer to the latest drivers. E. Reset...

    Router reliability

    Regarding support for home routers . . . other than "hold the reset pin in the back for 15 seconds" and "I'm sorry but you forgot to register your device within 30 days of purchase so your warranty is only 90 days" when was the last time you actually called up support for something other than a...

    Trade Beer for wireless advice

    The ubiquiti Unifi line is probably the best bet for getting you the multiple networks. As for the application aware QOS . . . Your best bet is to move it to the router.

    Newbie questions about Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite (ERLite-3)

    You can set up the ERLite with just a static IP on Eth0 Set your PC to 192.168.1.100 Log in to 192.168.1.1 Update it to 1.7 and off you go with the wizards. From what you are telling us though you will also need a switch. DO NOT USE THE ERLite as a switch. If you want a managed switch try the...

    Home office network - planning. Please critique and help refine it

    For VZ Fios netoworking altered beyond the default config I STRONGLY recommend reading the following: http://www.dslreports.com/faq/16077 I am using the 9th option with my own router using an ethernet handoff and an actiontec moca bridge connected to my switch.

    HP 1810 48G VLANS

    You only need 1 connection. VLAN tagging allows multiple VLANs to travel along the same connection without interfering with each other. what you were originally trying to do is called port based VLANs and sometimes private VLANs. It prevents intercommunication between a group of ports while...

    HP 1810 48G VLANS

    I don't think that router supports 802.1q VLANs In addition, even if it did, you need to set up a subnet for each VLAN. eg. 192.168.1.x/24 for VLAN1 192.168.2.x/24 for VLAN2 192.168.3.x/24 for VLAN3 Edit: If you do have a router that does not play nice with standard VLANs (eg tp-link er-6120)...

    CISCO Brand Routers

    Generally speaking we only put refurb/used units in customer locations if; The cost of the hardware is half or less than half of what the unit would be new. OR The unit would still be under warranty even through transfer of ownership (as in the case of lifetime warranties for some switches). In...

    Setup network in an appartementbuilding with WAN IP per appartment

    Well, in theory one solution may be to only allow port forwarding over IPv6. With a tunnel it is in theory possible to hand out an IPv6 address per apt . . . although I have never tried it myself.

    Setup network in an appartementbuilding with WAN IP per appartment

    See if you can buy a larger IP block. At the minimum with 1 IP per apt you need a /26 address range or multiple smaller ranges.

    Ethernet in Bathroom ?

    I have done this before in a few clients residences. You don't put the Jack in plain site. You place it inside the vanity or wall unit. Odds are the most common use for the port would be a light or media control panel, phone, smart TV. Two out of three can be installed in most door panels of...

    Why 2.5 / 5Gbps Ethernet? And Not 10Gbps?

    There is still the possibility of a consumer router that uses DFS channels over UNII 2/2e. That allows for continuous 160mhz channels.

    DSL reconnect

    I suggest posting this question in the following subforum: http://www.snbforums.com/forums/asuswrt-merlin.42/ Odds are you will get more visibility there.

    Why 2.5 / 5Gbps Ethernet? And Not 10Gbps?

    The issue is not just with the cost of the controller. The real benefit is on the supported cable. 10gbe requires CAT6a cable for lengths greater than 55meters. NBase-T will run 100m at 2.5g over CAT5e and 100m at 5g over CAT6. Ask any installer. CAT6a is a very difficult cable to work with...

    Edgerouter PRO and Router Charts

    It looks like the review was done by two different people using two different sets of equipment. It is possible the second review messed up the config somehow. I have a few ER8-Pros out in the field. I can confirm 100% that connecting via gigabit fiber they will do full duplex wirespeed NAT...

    Need for whole home Ethernet?

    As an example of what pull string really looks like: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Klein-Tools-6-500-ft-Pulling-Line-56110/100660172 Mono-filament wire will literally act like a razor blade on the current cables inside the conduit.
