Help with my Lan stetings

[francovilar]

Hello,

I'm having one problem with a Asus RT-N66U. My system:

Cable Router - Asus - LAN computers.

My main computer is running Linux Mint 14 with NFS server active and the other is running ubunutu mini with XBMC, my system was running OK but when I added the Asus router my NFS server became very slow, changed to Samba and it's working ok but some programs don't work when connecting to the internet or are very slow. the problem is not with the ubuntu mini because I have the same problem running xbmc on android tablet. There's something wrong with this router and XBMC. Can samebody help me? what kind of logs are needed? I'm running latest stable version of Merlin build.

I have no problem using XBMC under Ubuntu 12.10 here, however I also use SMB for accessing my files.

If you had enabled it, disable Jumbo Frame support on the router.

For your Internet slowdown issues, try doing a complete reset of your Internet connection - this is often needed with cablemodems (I assume you meant cable modem and not cable router? Cause if it's really a modem+router combo then you are facing a different type of issues). Turn off your modem for about 10 minutes, then turn it back on. I've have seen many cablemodem users solve slow Internet issues this way.

I don't have jumbo frames enabled.

I have fiber internet but my ISP router is a piece of.. so I have this setup:

ONT - ISP router (192.168.1.1) for TV and VOIP net disabled - ASUS router for the internet part (192.168.2.1) all of my computers connect to the asus. I don't have any problem acessing internet with all other computer's (two notebooks) or two tablets. just with XBMC (computer or tablet), any ideas?

Make sure everything is connecting to the Asus and not to your ISP router (especially if you have some of these using wireless). Also make sure all network cables are Cat5e or Cat6. If in doubt, try a different cable in case it would be defective/unreliable.

Thank you again for your help. I replaced the cables with new cat6, and I have the same problem. If I disconnect my ISP router I still have problems with NFS. On my server I have one onboard ethernet card 100, if I use that one instead of the Giga one my NFS server works, so it's the card. any config that I can try to fix it?

 

[francovilar]

Ok. I think it's fixed. Looks like my network card was not working as giga, only 10... I had to do a cold boot with power off with the cable unplugged and when I plugged the cable I had a working setup. Hope this makes sense (not a good english) . Nothing to do with router or firmware. Thank you once again.
