This is what you need: http://www.ebay.com/itm/PROLINE-10m-ACTIVE-TWINAX-CABLE-SFP-SFP-10GB-Base-PRO-ADAC-10GE-10M-800113014-/321534585014?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4adcf468b6 Edit: To answer your question, I think you need single mode fiber for sfp+ modules, not multimode. Like this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/30M-100FT-LC-LC-Fiber-Optic-Cable-Single-mode-62-5-125-M-M-Patch-Jumper-C313-30-/290765599621?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43b2faf385

To my knowledge the minimum you can buy is a /24, that's 256 IPs.

I don't think this will work on 2.4 ghz because of very high interference. To use 5 ghz, you need direct line of sight. I would try to get direct line of sight and use http://routerboard.com/RBSEXTANTG5HPnD, they are pretty cheap and work great.

In large networks it's much better to use routing, MPLS and L2 circuits and use switching only on low end leaf equipment. RSTP does the job very well in this topology.

It should do the job but it's better to use ethernet cable.

Maybe some of you are lucky and the ISP if blocking your websites using the DNS. Try using a public DNS like 8.8.8.8 and see if it works.

Your best solution is to get about 100 ppl from your street to join in and start your own ISP. You can get equitment cheap from ebay, this will cost about 10000$ for every thing you need for 100 1Gbps connections plus one 10gbps. If you get a 10GBPS connection from a data-center, it will probably cost you about 1000$/month. Than you need city approvel to lay down fiber cable on electrical pols or under ground, idk how much this will cost. Fiber optics cable is about 1$/m, you do the math. You can get your own fiber cable to the data center or you can lend one from another ISP, cost depends on distance, but it's not cheap. That's about it, than you can expand in the whole city and even make some money.

You could disable 802.11n and ony use g. That gives you 54mbps. Edit: Or use qos, here's a video how to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2rsUDIsx_w

What type of wan connection do you have? Rj45 or rj12 ? If it's rj45 i'd go for the asus ac68u. How big is your home? If it's relatiely small, you should place the router somewhere in the middle so you will get wireless coverage in the whole house. If it's a big house i'd suggest putting the router in one part if the house than run an ethernet cable to another part of the house and connect an AP to extend wireless. The AP can be another asus ac68u used as AP. For the switch... if you get 2 routers, you will have 6 lan ports to connect devices. If nou need more or in diffrent rooms, you can get a 8port unmanaged gigabit switch for about 20$. For cable, cat5e should be enough, if you want overkill, use cat6. The whole setup should cost about 400$, for the big house version.

That's the dumbest thing. For an ISP upload is always more problematic than download. Ppl who use torrents are downloading the "legal content" only once but the upload doesnt stop. Plus they need the upload speed for their clients who do video chat, who pay more money but demand garanteed upload rate.

If you read this wiki page http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very-high-bit-rate_digital_subscriber_line_2 you will see that using vdsl2 you can get 200mbps. Also, it seems that with newer DSL technology you can get 1gbps: http://gizmodo.com/the-next-generation-of-dsl-can-pump-1gbps-through-coppe-1484256467

You can get 100mbps over phone line using DSL, but the line has to be short. The ISP probably has a 1gbps fiber link to the building or local cabinet and from there they are using the old phone lines.If they market the service with "fiber" in it's name, it doesn't mean that you are gonna get fiber in your home. I know it's a bit of a cheat but you have to read the contract. Edit: Using vdsl2 you get 200mbps.

I've used cables through vents in a 8 story building, you should be fine.

Maybe you should reinstall windows.

You could try flashing your router with dd-wrt or something similar, or buy another router. I would never buy a tp-link router, idk why ppl do that.
