Can't Explain Network Speed Discrepancy Between Locations

Feb 6, 2013

why one of my two offices experiences significantly slower speeds when accessing the web. I'm a complete technology simpleton, so I haven't been able to figure out a logical reason for it. Here's the scenario:

Office 1..................................................Office 2
==========..........................................===========
Comcast Business.....................................Comcast Business
tests at 33 mbps down..............................tests at 7 mbps down
tests at 6 mbps up....................................tests at 3 mbps up
6 CPUs access Linksys SR216 10/100 switch..6 CPUs access 3Com Office Connect Ethernet Hub
switch accesses Comcast modem.................hub accesses Comcast modem

My laptop, and all other CPUs, perform significantly faster at Office 2.

Is it the difference between the switch at Office 1 v the hub at Office 2? I always thought they were sort of the same thing. I know I've taken some of the cables out of the switch in Office 1 and put them directly into the Comcast Modem and haven't seen any improvement.

Why on earth does my laptop perform so much better at Office 2. I've also moved desktops to Office 2 and they are noticeable faster at that location as well. I'm stumped. We access a major company's web site for account servicing, and it is twice as fast at Office 2...while using the exact same laptop.

N750 Wireless Network Two Sets Of PCs In Different Locations

Jul 24, 2012

I have a small home with two clusters of 2-3 devices which use the Internet - one ground floor, south corner, and the other top floor, north corner. I have a wireless router (Netgear N750) in the ground floor south connected to my cable modem. All devices in the area of the existing router are plugged into it (Cat5 cable). The devices in the top-north corner use wireless to communicate with the down-south router.

Running cable drops is not in scope for me, as we have a finished basement and I would have to blind drill horizontally across 50' of flooring and joists.

Tried running cabling through heat vents using a wireless camera mounted to a cable puller and all I did was discover some areas of my home that appeared to be four-dimensional. Attic not accessible in locations required for cable drops.Tried powerline devices and performance was much worse than wireless - I know that's a major YMMV situation but the Netgear ones I tried had like 5 Mbps connection rates. I also could not connect from other outlets - I have read if you had electrical work installed and have new lines run it can impact powerline performance. That may be the case in my home.

My questions:

A. I have OK to poor signal strength in top-north and top rate is ~ 150 MBps off what is supposed to be 300N router. Would I get better performance if I installed a wireless router in top-north and connected the top-north devices to it? Down-south performance is fine so it's not the cable modem/internet connection.

B. I believe I'd set top-north router up as a wireless client. I've experimented with Tomato and DD-WRT but don't know how to evaluate. Any tradeoffs I should know about?

C. Any networking changes I should consider if I go with such a topology? (MTU, who does DNS, etc). Currently use router as source for DHCP and DNS lookups. Should I limit which router wireless devices may connect with?

Home Network :: Setting Up Networks With Multiple Locations / Wireless Points?

Feb 11, 2011

setting up networks with multiple locations and multiple wireless points.For example: My sisters' home has here modem in her main computer room, it has a Belkin router hooked to the modem. Then a line goes from there to my nephew's room where I tried to expand their network by adding another router. I really just wanted an access point, but they don't seem to sell these as much as they used to. Anyway, I had it working, but it was two different networks, NETWORK1 and NETWORK2. So they had to swap networks when moving around the house. what would be the best hardware setup to provide both sides of the house with some Hardwired access as well as wifi access? Right now, we have two routers, a DIR615 (or something like that) and a Cisco E1000, and again hardwire going from the main computer room to my nephew's room.Also, in my house, I have lots of stuff... I have an Actiontec Router from FIOS, feeding a small hub as well as a switch in my main room. Which then feeds a Ps3, Wii, laptop, Denon reciever, and Access Point... and also feeds my Apple TimeCapsule, which also feeds my printer. My wireless devices range from cameras, iphones/ipads, and a wifi unit (I forget what it's called, but it connects my DVR wirelessly to my network, and the DVR itself doesn't have wifi).

my question about my setup is, should everything be on one network... as in let the ActionTec handle most of the duties and use switchers and accesspoints to extend the network. Should everything be on the same wireless network and channels? Like if I used my access point to extend, do I want the same settings as my main wireless router, and would that be the same for the Apple Airport Extreme?Also, does having all these wireless networks going create any kind of hinderance on my performance. For example, the PS3 has some sort of wifi in it... it produces a SSID, but I never connect to it. Should I make sure that's off? And in my main room, should I go with just the AirPort extreme over using it and the Wireless Access point.

Cisco Switches :: SF100D-16 Discrepancy In Dimensions

Nov 7, 2012

We are using Cisco 100 Series Unmanaged Switche, model SF100D-16 in our network drawer for land and OFF-shore use. As per the data sheet on the below link, the dimensions of this product should be 5.12 x 1.52 x 5.12 inches (130 x 38.5 x 130 mm).But our current batch of 40 pieces are of a different dimension. i.e 6.29 x 3.54 x 1.69 inches (160 x 90 x 43 mm) url..We have  designed an 1U drawer to install this switch based on the dimesions in the datasheet. But now it is not going inside the drawer because of this 5 mm extra height.Not sure how this descripancy occured between data sheet and physical part. Now I am looking for a 16 port with same configuration of model SF100D-16, with 40mm or less height.

Linksys Wireless Router :: Wrt160n Can Access Work Network From Multiple Public Locations From IPad

May 17, 2010

home router is a wrt160n v3 With my iPad I set up the built in IPSec VPN to my office's cisco gateway. I successfully get the VPN logo. With an RDP app, i can access my work network from multiple public locations from my iPad. At home, on my laptop, I start the cisco client then use the windows rdp, presto i'm in my work network. At home on my iPad I can activate the VPN, but I can not connect with rdp. I spoke with linksys support tonight they had me add port 3389 to port range triggering and disable the firewall on the home router. This didn't solve the problem. To recap: 1) I can connect to my work network with rdp from multiple public locations, but not at home with the iPad 2) I can connect to my work network at home with my laptop with the cisco client ant the windows rdp

Keep Surveillance On 2 Far Away Locations?

Jan 15, 2011

I need to keep surveillance on two separate remote locations, each on a different continent. They're both indoor locations and have broadband. One of these setups should be fully bidirectional so I can see them and they can see me, while the other location is unidirectional so I can see them but they can't see or hear me. In both of these farflung locations the people there have the computer skills of your average escargot, so it's going to be a complete and utter miracle if they can even figure out how to boot the PC. I would like to provide netbooks to each location and have them automatically launch a fullscreen webcam on bootup. How to get this set up properly so that it works in a foolproof manner.

Cisco :: Locations CAC Reporting?

Jan 31, 2011

Is there any way to get reports on voice utilisation on WAN links so that CAC settings can be proactively managed for each location on our CUCM cluster? Our service provider is advising that this is not possible which means that we rely on customer/staff complaints to recognise where CAC thresholds are being reached. Our preference is to be able to run traffic reports (or the Cisco equivalent) as could be done on our previous (traditional) telephony network and provide additional capacity if and when required BEFORE congestion is reached, thus minimising customer/staff impact.

How To Use 2 Wireless Routers Together In Different Locations

Has a small home network in 2 buildings with 2 wireless routers. He has fiber from the building where the dsl comes into, running up to his house where a second wireless modem is. Both are broadcasting DHCP but I only want one of them to do this. Ultimately I want his server(2008) to broadcast DHCP, but just one of the modems is fine for now.

Cisco VPN :: Setting Up Two Separate 5510 At Two Different Locations

Nov 1, 2011

I'm setting up two separate 5510's at two seperate locations. The client wants two seperate SSL-VPN's; one for the HQ and one for the COLO location. They have a single domain for which I have added a-records to point to the corrosponding ASA's thusly: [code]
 
My questions is this: do i need to buy seperate certificates for each ASA/fqdn/IP combo? I'm using godaddy to buy the certs. If I do need to buy seperate certs, that makes the installation easier, but may waste $$. If I only need to buy one cert, how do I set it up so that both combo's are verified?

Cisco Firewall :: 5510 - VPN Tunnel Between Two Locations

May 23, 2011

Firewall ASA5510. I'm planning to get one of ASA5510 for our office in order to secure our network properly, however we have quite specific routing configuration to allow us failover to the remote location (data center) in case of any disaster with our server. I'd like to find out if I can just install firewall between our ISP Ruter and internet and allow traffic to/from Data Centre. In this situation will I have to change routing configuration on Company Router or do I have to do anything with our Company Router

Cisco Routers :: RV042 - VPN Tunnel Between Two Remote Locations

Jun 27, 2012

I have configured a VPN tunnel between two remote locations using static IP addresses on two RV042 routers. The tunnel seems to work but the problem is that when the two hosts attempt to ping each other only one can successfully ping. One PC with IP address 192.168.1.100 can ping across the network but the second PC with IP address 192.168.2.100 cannot. These are laptops seperate from the intranet used to test the tunnel. Someone had suggested NAT may be the issue so I enabled NAT Transverse on the routers but still no luck. The following is the results from a ping test.

PC 1

Cisco Firewall :: ASA 5515-X Route With Branch Locations?

Apr 17, 2013

We installed a new ASA 5515 about a month ago for the corporate office we also have 40 branch locations that feedback VOIP, camera, and Citrix to the corp location.  Each of the branch locations have a separate DSL connection with a local provider and all of them are dynamic IP addresses. 
 
The problem I have is that I cannot figure out a access rule to make the voip traffic work 100% of the time what ends up happening is five or six random locations change IP address's every day and I could not figure out how to create a access rule for that so I create a static route with that dynamic IP and then it will change a week or so later.  That's a horrible security risk and a lot of manual work.

Cisco Routers :: WRVS4400N VPN Tunnel Between 2 Physical Locations

Dec 7, 2011

I have 2 WRVS4400N's installed in our network, one at each end of a VPN tunnel between 2 physical locations.  I continue to have issues with the VPN to "Stay" connected, even after purchasing another new WRVS4400N 4 months ago.  I can reboot both routers, and the VPN connects with no problem, but hangs up after a few hours / days (no pattern). 
 
I am taking a hard look at the issue now, as about 1 month ago, the newest router "automatically" reset it itself back to factory settings (thus interrupting nearly everything in our network).  After contacting support, we reset the router and re-configured it to our environment.  It is plugged into a surge protected UPS (yep, I thought maybe a power issue caused the problem, but it's not).  Then about 1 week ago, the other/older (9 month old) router lost it's configuration.  again, reset it and all works.  Including the VPN, but the VPN still works as it did before connects for a while, but then drops and generally I need to reboot the router to get it connected again (clicking on the Connect on either router doesn't work until after a reboot).
 
Also, in light of the recent "lost configurations", I turned on logging and now I'm getting TONS of emails of log activity, even when the network is idle (no users, no background jobs running). 
 
after rebooting and no inter activity, I get this kind of log, all night long (to me it generally looks like the VPN connection resets and increments by 1... I'm taking a guess that the increment hits a limit someplace and I lose my VPN).[code]
