  1. If you have a beast machine you can simulate a working network with GNS3 and some linux, windows clients on the same machine.
  2. To sum it up Ubiquity wireless and routers > than any consumer router you can buy. The Edgemax is a great choice paired with some radio's it would make a kick ass network, maybe a bit tricky to set up at first.
  3. Probably some new high capacity backbone was established not long ago.
  4. Im interested, how are these called exactly ?
  5. http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3158659972 @ 10$ Wheres your god now?
  6. That or download torrents with many seeds.
  7. You will need to learn some CLI for it and the way firewalls work (rules etc...) they are not the same as your routers simple firewall. I could take one off your hands if you don't need it
  8. The rest of the world can just laugh at US and their internet monopolies.
  9. Fiber lines and a modem tell me where that exists ? Without getting something more serious no router should let go of the v4 address its still here to stay for a long long time, maybe dd-wrt could work.
  10. Wow i pay 10$ for mine, damn you Romanian guys are catching up with us Lithuanian guys big time Firewall rules (NAT in your case) can cause more usage on the CPU which can on lower end devices drop your connection down to 100, just a thought since companies don't expect you to have such a connection and the gigabit functionality is more intended for LAN.
  11. Put dd-wrt on the other router and turn it into a Client Bridge. That way it will receive wireless and give you wired access.
  12. How are the IP's assigned ? If you get your IPv4 via MAC you can put a switch in-front of the routers and bind the v4 to the router you want the rest of the machines will assign v6's. Though im not so sure how v6's are handed out.
  13. pfsense has bad wifi support, if you want to do wireless with it buy a separate AP and hook it up to the box.
  14. IPv6 is the new version of the IP protocol that was created to replace IPv4 used today due to its address exhaustion, it does not influence speed in any way. (IPv4 address looks like this: 123.123.123.123, a v6 address is more complex: 2001:0db8:85a3:0042:1000:8a2e:0370:7334) Get rid of your router it is the bottleneck, either buy a beast and i mean a beast router or build a pfsense box. Normal routers will crumble at these kinds of speeds. I have a 100 mbps connection and ive had 3 consumer routers all started doing weird things within the first month. Since when did RO start offering these speeds ?
  15. You can do more than 2 way powerline, just make sure the security on the first two is disabled for the 3rd one to work then re-enable security and you're done. The standard that is in use on powerline adapters should be the same for most of them, especially if you are going to use the same brand one.
  16. Run a wire, if you absolutely can't do it here are my few cents: In general this will help, but not a lot, worst case you won't see the difference. Its better to have an AP that has good output power (500 mW and more) and slap a few high gain omnies on it. How far away are you from the AP ? What kind of an adapter are you using ? I assume you are doing this on a PC not a laptop.
  17. The more all in one they are the horrible it gets, however this should be pretty straight forward. Put the new router/modem in bridge mode and connect to it via PPPoE from your linksys box.
  18. USB is your best bet.
  19. Some routers support 3G modems, but not many so you just have to search. I found that Mikrotik's routers work flawlessly with 3G, but they are a pain to set up for an unexperienced user.
  20. Run a dedicated server until the issue is resolved.
  21. Protection against DDoS in a home is impossible, even if you drop all the bad packets that are coming in. Your connection is still hammered and you literally cant do anything. A home connection doesn't even need a distributed DoS to be brought down, just one computer can output enough packets to kill your connection, usually ISP's will see a DDoS and kill your connection for some time.
  22. Also get outdoor cable, normal patch cables will die after a few summers.
  23. You would need a range extender also sometimes called a repeater bridge.
  24. What i don't understand is why are they trying to make this, its like trying to control weather. Your connection is already as fast as its going to get, adding any more traffic shaping just makes it worse. A job like this is better handed off to the router which can actually make a difference, this and user configurable queue's (QoS) makes a bigger difference than any automatic traffic priority software. If nothing is interfering (hardcoded limits, heavy load on the other end etc...) any program can utilize your full available bandwidth whenever it feels like it.
