    looking for a smart router supports auto failover router between two WANs

    The IP "session" will stop/break...as it changes WAN interfaces (thus ISP connections). It will shift from one IP address, to the other. By that logic...it is stopping..and then starting up again. It has to. Plus...if you're doing failover properly...you'll be using an entirely different...

    Best router for OpenVPN

    Plenty of x86 *nix based distros that do this well also, you can recycle older computer gear. Endian, Untangle, PFSense...among many others.

    Windows Server Alternatives for small business

    Wow I haven't seen AccPac mentioned in a long long time. Used to see it frequently in the DOS and Win9X days. Open source versions of Microsoft Small Business Server ClearOS (developed from Clark Connect) http://www.clearfoundation.com/ Zentyal (eBox) http://www.zentyal.org/

    Adding a wireless access point - why assign IP outside DHCP range?

    If you reserve in (or put it in an exclusion range) in the DHCP services..that' fine. But generally it's suggested to give any static IPs outside of the DHCP lease pool...because if you assign a local static IP that is in the DHCP lease pool, the DHCP service will not know about it and it may...

    RAID disks spinning up

    Even high end servers..RAID on SCSI/SAS 'n hot swap drives....they power up the drive sequentially.

    RV016 PPTP : no traffic, connexion OK

    Should work out of the box just like that......what are you doing to actually find that no traffic is flowing?

    Small network design with controlled Internet access - comments please

    For security..keep them behind a good UTM edge appliance like Untangle or Astaro. For Microsoft updates...have a WSUS box on the LAN to serve them. Since the greater part of security is through exploits in what I call "web players"..(Java, Flash, Shockwave, PDF readers)...you'll have to...

    Consumer vs Business wireless

    Quality of components in business is typically better Support for business units is typically better Features are matured in business models, whereas with home models there are often more "bugs and glitches" and broken features they hope to fix in future firmware upgrades Richer firewall...

    Uverse 2wire 3801 HGV router and Linksys E4200v2 Router!

    "DMZ Plus Mode"....basically you tell the 2Wire to put the WAN interface of your own router on the outside. Setup a computer behind your own router..log into its web admin..change its LAN IP so it is NOT in the 192.168.1.xxx range...meaning, make it 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.10.1 or 192.168.9.1...

    Best setup for 30 computers...

    Ideal situation..... One central switch Each PC has a run to it Servers directly into it Router into it Access Points directly into it. Recommend HP ProCurve. All communications remain with that switch, full speed of its backplane. As soon as you start daisy chaining another...

    Home office / home enterprise router recommendation

    Dual Core Atom D510 or higher, or an i3 or i5 would be more than fine IMO. Xeon...well, it's your electric bill and ears to hear the noise. DHCP on server or router..a MAC that doesn't join the domain will function equal in any way. Workgroup mode clients still utilize DHCP from a server...

    Home office / home enterprise router recommendation

    Our "go to" router for small businesses has been the Linksys/Cisco RV0 series..usually the RV082. Very solid, decent feature set. I'd question it for an upcoming 100 meg pipe though. Looking forward to the RV220 taking over...soon as the firmware matures a bit. A decent budget box would...

    Proper Small Business Setup

    From experience with quite a few of them, I find they're actually more reliable and stable than typical sub 500 dollar off the shelf routers that most SMB's will use. (most SMBs usually use sub 200 dollar mostly home grade routers...so this point is even more true). I mostly use a product...

    Proper Small Business Setup

    For business networks, unless it's just a small 3 or 4 workstation office....we prefer to separate the duties and get separate components....using business grade hardware. Meaning...a wired business grade router, and if you need wireless....we put in access points. I generally stay away from...

    ASUS RT-N66U - my review

    How are you confirming that? If you're trying to connect to your WAN IP from INSIDE your network..that's just how the router is handling "loopback". Or are you actually trying to connect to the WAN IP from somewhere across the internet?

    Powerline Networking vs Wifi Bridge

    I was huge into online gaming ....took a break for about a year but getting back into it. To sum up the long story....couple of years ago....got married again...moved to "her" town. Until I sold my house in my old town...had to rent in her town. So got an old old 3 story farmhouse, about...

    best affordable security appliance?

    Edge devices (like UTM appliances)...can block things, and can report on where they've been (websites). If you want details such as chat logs...so you can watch/view chats, see e-mails typed, facebook chats...you'll need to run an application like SpectorSoft on their local PC. Chats and...

    Do these Powerline adapters take up the whole wall socket?

    I dusted off my old, first generation Linksys PLK200 adapter kit that had been unused for about 3 or more years. Plugged 'em in to getup a new gaming rig build in a room up on the second floor of my house. Network center is based around our finished basement. Gaming..I didn't want wireless...

    Recommendation sought: SOHO class VPN concentrator and deconcentrator

    Yeah they do a decent job at tunnels....the "RV" series is our "go-to" devices for budget SMB jobs.
