Optimal Location And Possible Router For 2 Floor Town House
Nov 6, 2011
I currently have two laptops, a PS3, one desktop (technically two, but right now its not working, hoping to make it wired, but we will see), a smart phone and an Ipod touch. The first few are used the most though. I have the router currently downstairs in the kitchen in the corner (I know terrible place) unfortunately it was the only place beside the room upstairs, which tbh I don't know why we didn't do, which is still towards an end to the house. The middle most part of the house would be in between the kitchen and the dinning room on the first floor, although it doesn't have a great place for the coax jack to be installed. The other room would be mine upstairs. So the question is; is the router better off upstairs or down stairs. Also the router is a Linksys WRT54GS so its only G sadly. I'd like the best signal strength as possible spending the least amount of money as possible. Sadly I game (PS3,Laptop,Desktop) which also would make it awesome to have some of these wired, but theirs no great location to get the best of both worlds. If I had to choose it would be my desktop to be wired which is why my room for the router would be nice if its a good place for the signal.

I have 3 devices I need to connect to my router 2 floors under me. I was wondering if there is a way that i could run one Ethernet cable from my router downstairs to the devices and not have to constantly plug the wire into the device i am using. Mainly is there like a hub for this that i could use to connect all three to the internet all at the same time using one wire running from my router.

Just picked up the E4200 and used Cisco Connect to install. Wanted to know a few things?
-Windows 7, 64 bit
-E4200 router
-AE2500 adapter
1) How can I tell if its running at optimal configuration?
2) Before with my previous router (netgear) I didn't see my router in Device Manager. Now its under Network Infrastructure Devices. It lists the name of my router, under that it lists Microsoft Wireless Router Module??
3) Before with my previous adapter (belkin) I would see my Network Adapter in Device Manager. I see my network adapter listed, under that Realtek PCI (LAN), but now there is another new device? Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniadapter??
Why are these Microsoft devices showing in Device Manager? Did they not get installed correctly?

Following are the details of my current home network setup, I would like to hear more recommendations and drawbacks of this setup.ISP has provided with a Cisco DPC3825 DOCSIS 3.0 Gateway which has 4 Ethernet ports and a wireless networking but only 2.4 GHz.. This router is connected to the cable CPE box to internet. I have enabled the Firewall features of this router and disabled the Wireless network. This has also the DHCP server running. The Second router is a Cisco E3000 which supports 2.4 GHz / GHz wireless networking. Connection to gateway is made via the 1st Ethernet port of gateway and then to the Internet port of E3000 router. I have connected my wireless devices to E3000 with GHz wifi lan. This router also has the firewall activated and DHCP server running as well.Both routers have WEP2 Personal / AES security configured. Currently these two devices are on two different IP ranges ..etc gateway is 192.168.0.1 and e3000 is 192.168.1.1.The E3000 is primarily configured for my online video for TV (Panasonic Vireacast).

We want to set up a wireless user group in our town between a few friends and new people who are interested to join. As far as I heard I don't need a ICASA License for the 5.8GHz Frequency if we are using it for a non profit orginization, so we may use that.
1 x Routerboard
3 x Radio Plugin Boards
3 x 120degree Antennas
to set up a 360degree HS (Highsite).Then at each person's house we will need:
1 x Routerboard
1 x Radio Plugin Board
1 x Whichever Antenna
Is that correct? Then also if we wanto run VoIP on our network, how do I do that? Basicly we want to use it for gaming, file sharing and VoIP. No Internet of anything else.

So my router (apple airport base) is in my basement. I need to get the internet to run all the way up to the second floor because the wireless N network really only works well in the basement and main floor. Unfortunately our builder never wired us ethernet ports along with our phone jacks. What would be the best solution without running new wire? Is there a way to convert the phone jack wires to ethernet? Do one of those power line converters work well? I would really like to avoid having to drill for new wires.

I have a specific application where wireless service is required for one desk in a large room with a very high ceiling. The room is 'acoustically contained.' Additionally, the antennae needs to be out of sight. I was considering placing an AP under the access flooring (and under the desk) with the antennae mounted above the floor directly above the AP. trying to place an atennae at floor level rather than ceiling height?

I want absolute max throughput possible to be achieved in all focal points. We're all in internet related industries. Between gaming and web-development latency and throughput are major factors for us.
1) Garage (office). downstairs
2) Each bedroom x4. upstairs
3) Living room. downstairs
The fastest line we can get is Comcast 50mbdown/5up (Wideband).
I am looking for the best way to achieve wireless and wired performance for our setup.
Our gaming computers may be in our bedroom, and we also may bring it down to the office every now and then for LAN sessions. Most wireless will be happening downstairs with our laptops, but since we may do LAN sessions then hard wired latency may be important there too.
I dont know if placing one D-link DGL 4500 on the top floor would be enough; which I currently own. url...As far as I'm aware wireless signals transfer best top down. Would this wireless router be enough on top floor and that's it?

I have a wireless router on the ground floor of my home which is wired to my PC on the 3rd floor. The wifi signal is of poor quality on the 3rd floor. I cannot move the router to a different floor since all of my connections are wired through the home into my networking room (on the ground floor where my router is). I wish to add a media receiver to a different room on the 3rd floor that is not wired already for networking. Streaming video files wirelessly to the media receiver from my router will not work because as stated previously the signal quality is poor on the 3rd floor. My mobo on my computer has ASUS wifi GO. Can I enable the wifi go on the mobo of my PC (located on 3rd floor) to connect to the media receiver (also on the 3rd floor) for streaming? The media receiver will also have an internet browser so will I be able to connect to the internet as well if it is networked to my PC and my PC is connected to my router on the ground floor?
I basically want to keep my PC connected to my main router for high DL speeds and also have my PC networked wirelessly to my media receiver using the on board wifi go. If possible I'd also like to be able to access the internet on the media receiver via the PC.

I have a DIR-825 in my basement at one end of the house and it works great. My problem is the signal strength is a little weak on the main floor at the other end of the house. I would like to add a second access point to cover that end of the house. Do I need to get another DIR-825 and wire it to the original or is there another option? I obviously don't need all the features of the DIR-825 for the 2nd AP, but I cant find a less expensive option that will still allow me to use both bands.

I'm living in a house with 6 people on 2 floors, and the router isn't handling all the traffic well. I have an extra router that might be able to serve as an wireless access point, but from what I've been told that wouldn't solve anything if the problem was that the first router doesn't have the capacity for that much traffic. It's a 50+ dollar wireless N router though and fairly new (forgot the model number)

The values of that router setup are as follows:SSID: TELUS4108WPA/WPA2-AESDefault gateway: 75.156.190.1DNS address: 199.185.220.254Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

I bought two E4200s with the intent of using the second as a wireless access point to maximize coverage throughout my house. I just learned the hard way that the E4200 doesn't support that feature, and will only act as an access point if physically connected to the primary router that is connected to the internet.
Before I spend even more money on equipment, I was wondering if any of the experts here can tell me whether I can use a Linksys Bridge, like the WET610N or WES610N, to operate the second router in bridge mode and turn it into a wireless access point?

What are the best values for "mac address-table aging-time" and "arp timeout" by following scenarios?:- single sg300-10 as layer3-switch with a maximum of 10 local (direct connected) hosts - and a 3750x-stack with 100 local hosts + hsrp with a other stack of the same sort or for asa 5520 as internet gateway for 500 clients?I use at the moment a mac aging-time from 300 seconds and a arp timeout from 3600 seconds.

I will be staying at a rental property that has ethernet cable & modem. If I bring my E4200 v2 router from home & connect it to their modem, will my Toshiba 16GB Thrive be able to access the internet via WiFi? When I initially set up the router, I ran the router CD on my laptop, and the Thrive automatically accessed the internet. Will the Thrive automatically do the same when I connect the router at the new location. There is no computer there to run the router software. Will the the network be secured as it is at home? Same network name & password?

Setup is two dynamic IP locations
1. first location RV042 is the gateway attached to ADSL modem
2. second location RV042 is behind BT home hub gateway - for now the BTHH DMZ is enabled to the RV042
Followed the user manual config for two dynamic IP but it seems that the RV042 behind the BTHH obviously has a different IP than the resolved IP and is causing problems with connection.
This from the log file:
Jan 14 15:04:16 2011 VPN Log Received Vendor ID payload Type = [Dead Peer Detection]
Jan 14 15:04:16 2011 VPN Log [Tunnel Negotiation Info] <<< Responder Received Aggressive Mode 1st packet
Jan 14 15:04:16 2011 VPN Log Aggressive mode peer ID is ID_IPV4_ADDR: '192.168.95.139'
Jan 14 15:04:16 2011 VPN Log No suitable connection for peer '192.168.95.139', Please check Phase 1 ID value
Jan 14 15:04:16 2011 VPN Log initial Aggressive Mode packet claiming to be from 81.156.xxx.xx on 81.156.xxx.xx
But no connection has been authorized,check peer ID Is there some way of making the RV042 behind the BTHH properly identifiable to the other end?

I was successful in configuring a new e1200 in bridge mode to extend my network. I did this with the routers side by side. In then moved the e1200 to a new location 150 feet away and it will not work. I previously had this working with an older linksys router. It will not deliver a Internet connection.
