I am currently at my parents house. They have a internet/phone package with Talk Talk, with the free D-Link DSL-2680 router (which is located at the front of the house). I've run a speed test on this and get almost 6Mbps download on the wired desktop.If I bring my laptop into the room and try it wirelessly I am getting the same sort of speed. However, if I walk 10 meters into the back of the house, I go down to 0.3Mbps.I am wanting my parents to be able to use their iPad in the living room at the back of the house as well as they could use their wired desktop in the front of the house.Is the D-Link DSL-2680 good enough? Do I need a wireless extender/bridge/whatever?
My wifi router recently busted and looking to upgrade. In doing some research, I think I've come to the conclusion of these specs:
-Up to 300 mbps -10/100/1000 WAN and LAN -Dual band -a/b/g/n
Ideally, I'd like to stream my media content from the desktop to my PS3. I don't know if it's a bandwidth issue or my old router, but streaming non-HD movies would buffer like crazy. My RoadRunner connection is about 25 mbps down/1 mbps up. Not sure if the upload bandwidth is the culprit. I know there's not a huge use for 1000M WAN, but I guess I was looking towards the future. Am I overcompensating on the WiFi? My desktop has gigabit port.url...
I currently have a 50Mbps Internet Connection provided by an ethernet handoff for hosting some webservers. We are looking at adding an additional 10Mbps Internetn connection and route BGP between the two. For the 50Mbps connection, i'm using a Cisco 2951 router. I also have another 2951 router to terminate the 10Mbps connection. Does these router have enough horsepower to fully route BGP?
Little info on my setup as is: Comcast ISP Internet Modem with the wireless gateway built in. I live in a faily large house and am out in my garage a lot where the signal is sub-par, id also like to have internet out in my yard without it sucking.
I have an extra linksys wrt45g sitting in my garage...could I use that someway to extend the range of my wifi? The signal from my main gateway is wireless N.
i have an DIR-655 Hardware Version: A4, with Firmware Version: 1.21.Its dated: 2008/11/13.Do i get any improvement updating? And in such case, which FW should i use? It must be rock solid!
We are looking at providing an ISR 819 for one of our customers using FTTC & 3G for failover .. However, I cant seem to find any recommended throughput guidence for the device? We could be looking at up to 80Mbps via the ethernet interface and I just dont know if the device will cope?
I installed a tp link extender to boost wifi at home (2 storey) and since then I have noticed that upstairs where the router is installed the signal is weaker than downstairs where the extender is located.
I currently have a Belkin router and a Belkin range extender. I have the router downstairs and the extender upstairs. Right now the router operates as <SSID> and the extender is <SSID> Alt. I would like to use them both as <SSID>, and have them work together. For example, I use the Wifi downstairs on my laptop, I walk upstairs, and I don't have to change over to the other network. It would switch automatically to the stronger signal.
my wireless connection (netgear 79) fluctuates often from 5 bar signal dropping to 1 - computer repairman suggested programming an extender into router...my computer is only 8 ft. from router in another room...would a second router do better and/or easier to implement
I started out with a wireless router/modem that my ISP provides as its default modem. It was and still is working fine. We will call this router A. My uncle who is living with me wasn't receiving the wifi signal in his room so he went and bought a different router that is supposed to have more range. Also, I believe it is capable of providing higher speeds wirelessly, but that is really irrelevant I think. We can call this new router B. I currently have router B running through router A with an ethernet cable into a LAN port- LAN port to LAN port. I basically want B to be a wireless range extender.My question is quite simple actually. I have everything up and running just fine, but it seems as if the wireless signal may still be coming from the old router A.
At the moment the Wireless Router is located in my bedroom which is 12 meters from the living room where the phone line is. I basically have one phone line extension from the telephone line to my bedroom where I've plugged in the ADSL filter. The modem part plugs into the actual router and the telephone line is then extended back to the living room with a second extension cable.This is because my PC is in my bedroom. Problem with this is the fact that there are extension cables get in the way when moving furniture around and also hang from the ceiling in the corridor.What I'd like to do is have a WiFi dongle for my PC and move the router to the living room. Now my second problem is that my phone gets a very weak WiFi signal once you go to the living room so I imagine if I moved the router to there then I would barely get a signal in my bedroom. I have two options to solve this:
(1) Use a WiFi extender in between my room and the router and then a dongle for my computer
(2) Upgrade my current G router to an N router. Problem is I'm not too sure the signal will reach my room. There's a 12 meter range from the living room to my bedroom btw.url...
I would like to know what tool do you use to create topology diagrams, since I need to create some for my thesisI know about MS Visio and Cisco stencils.Apart from this I have no experience with anything else.I need to draw some tunnels and arrows showing message flow as well as the topology itself.
What is the most recommended set up for my routers? I have 5 routers, 1 linksys ea4500 which will be my main, and 4 linksys e2500 as my access points... what i want is that they are all in the same network and only one ssid? Is it possible? what will be my wiring connections? can it be on series or all routers connected to 1 main router?
I am lacking experience in BGP and now I am trying to figure out what should be the ideal and recommended design.
Scenario: - Having two Internet Service Provider with two ASN - Having one idenpendant IPv4 public address - Having two Internet Cisco Router e.g. 2811 - Having two Cisco ASA Firewall e.g. 5510
Are there any recommendations for configuring the VM for the ACS 5.x? What are the required minimum CPU-Cycles to dedicate and also the minimum RAM to dedicate?
I have recently acquired an ASUS RT-N16 router. My original plan for it was to install Tomato on it. However, after checking their website i found out that the firmware was not updated in the last 2 years. There seem to be a few updated mods but none of them really seemed mature/stable/well-documented.
I would like to know what other people recommend as open-source firmware for this router. I know the answers will probably be subjective; so i will give a bit of background on my needs:
for now i will only use the Wi-Fi on an Android phone the connection will not be shared with anyone (so QOS is optional)i want a stable (wired) connection on my PC (for online gaming etc.)i want the (wired) download/upload speeds to be as close as possible to those achieved by directly plugging the Ethernet cable to the PC's network card; i have a 100 Mbps connection my ISP uses PPPOE my technical level: i am a software developer and i have good knowledge of bash scripting, but no experience with networking
Also, i know that i could probably just use the stock firmware (and maybe will use it for a while), but i'm interested in trying an open-source version (for more features, flexibility, as a learning exercise etc.)
I am setting up a DMVPN between several dozen sites using 2800, 2900 and 3900 series ISRs. The DMVPN Design Guide recommends current 12.4 or 12.4T IOS, but the DG was last updated in July 2008. I cannot seem to find any recommendations newer than this. I'm hoping Cisco or the community can give me an updated recommendation.
My current network setup has pix 525 firewall and for IDS i have 4215 box.As the utilization is high i am buying new ASA5520 firewall.
My query is 1 My IDS is end of support should i buy an IPS moudle with the asa 5520.is it recommended? 2 Other than firewalling what are the default features supported in asa 5520 like vpn,content filtering etc.
buying a wireless router to use as a wifi extender as the signal is weak upstairs. At the moment my pc upstairs is connected by ethernet cable, I'm thinking of connecting a router upstairs to this ethernet cable to have good wifi upstairs. And my pc does have wifi so I will use that.
Can I use netgear WGR 614 as range extender of another wireless router?I already using a model with wireless router, i have a spare netgear WGR 614. I want this router to pick up wireless signal from the first wireless router then share the internet on ethernet port only.
Do I have to hard wire both routers to use cascading routers technique? I've been reading up on how to do this, but have not yet quite tried. I know someone will say extender and/or repeater, but I want to know if I can use a second router to extend the wireless signal further; i.e., bounce it from modem/gateway/wireless router (dlink) to wireless router (linksys wrt160n) then to my laptop? I have to go from one building to another and currently the wireless signal is quite weak (hence, someone will likely say repeater/extender). I already have the linksys. The dlink belongs to someone else, but I have permission to access through their dlink. I can do the initial setup, connecting LAN (main router - dlink) to WAN (2nd router - linksys), but I cannot leave them connected.
I have a Netgear wnr2000 v3 wirless router. Im trying to get the Verizon Samsung Network extender to work on it. I am using a ethernet cable not wireless. When i go into the Netgear's Control panel and click attached devices it does not show it and it wont work. I called verizon and they gave me port numbers to put it in the port fowarding but you need the IP address which i dont know
Just a general concern for privacy, on my NIC card and gateway stock from HP, as well as performance...where should we draw the line and consider ourselves safe? Being disabled and pretty much not able to work no longer with a life threatning illness, and not much in my bank account, I have not much to worry about this. However I dont want my typical neighborhood kid hacking on my connection either, it tends to slow down your bandwidth.
I have two 5505's facing each other over 10meg dsl internet links with slow up links, I think that the uplink is around 768K and down is 10meg.Behind each ASA on each end sits a pbx they are using H.323 point to point trunk for connectivity to talk to each other one the g.729 codec. I've read a little on Qos and I'm wondering if GRE over IPSecis the way to configure this setup. I'm needing recomendations. There are is no qos at present configured and its not working well at times. There are only 5 phones at the remote site and 5 computers. The remote end only supports 3 vlans as well. I'm new to ASA.
Is there an official Cisco-Page with the always-up-to-date recommended NX-OS-Releases for the Nexus 5000, just as there is URL
If there is no such page: What Release can be recommended?
We got new N596 & N2232 this week, and are using L2-LAN only, no L3,no FCoE- or FC-Ports. The command 'vPC orphan-ports suspend' is the newest feature used, so 5.0(3)N2(1) would be the oldest possible release.
Before I install 5.1(3)N1(1a) and then have to do a distruptive downgrade to 5.0(3)N2(2b), I'd like to be assured that the new one is already recommended as mature enough.
I have implemented ASA 5520 as the main firewall. The outside interface is connected to a cisco router and the router is connected to an ISP. I want to make my security system more secure. Which product is the best as the internet gateway solution. Which licenses are required for this one and what is the,cost for each license. Where can I find the DMZ diagram recommended by cisco ?
Will a Wi-Fi range extender affect (i.e., reduce) the signal of the router? How does the throughput signal compare between where it originates and where it ends?
I have a wireless modem but its a sucky one. It was one of those free ones from verizon. Anyways, I don't get good signal in certain places in my house, so i am interested in knowing which would be better a wifi range extender or a good wireless modem.
I first want to say I "think" I might be posting in the wrong forums for this question, but because I'm not really sure what the proper terminology for this is, I thought it best to ask here.
I have recently upgraded my router for my home network from an old Linksys WRT54GS G router, to a new E2500 N router. I have heard/read that it is possible to reconfiqure my old router to act as a range extender for my network but I am unclear how to do so. I think this may be the same thing as an access point, but all the FAQ's I've found seem to have this work as a solo device, not as a device on existing network. I have my e2500 setup with the modem in my study and broadcasting from there, and would like to use my old G router set up as a range extender to be located in the front living room area and picking up the network signal and rebroadcasting from there without a modem or computer attached.
