Recommended Open-source Firmware For ASUS RT-N16
Nov 27, 2012
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 have decided build an open source firewall in linux environment. I have exactly one year to complete this project. The firewall will be a stateful packet filtering firewall working at network, transport and application layers. I would also be provided log analysis features. What I want to know is whether this is a good enough project or put in other words, is it a worthwhile project to undertake?

link to the original v1.0.0 firmware for the E4200. That was the best firmware for me and sadly I can't find a link to go back. v1.0.0 really had no problems for me. I initially skipped v1.0.1 becuase it disabled IPv6 which is a feature I want. v1.0.2 broke my YouTube and Netflix streaming. So I went back to v1.0.1 and my Netflix and YouTubue steaming returned to normal but I lost IPv6.
Any solution to Netflix and YouTube streaming problem on v1.0.2 when IPv6 is configured. (I'm positive the video is streaming over IPv4, but the IPv6 connectivity is available.)

3 times in the last 2 hours i have had my new rt-n56u give me the message.You have set the wrong dynamic or static IP address for your RT-N56U.
So i reset the router and it pulls the same IP and info it had before from my ISP.Doing some reading it seems some people have had this issue occur over and over.I am upgrading to the new Asus1.0.1.8i from 1.0.1.8f which is installed now, but wanted to ask if i have other options for this router as this problem gets annoying..Example i am used to DD-WRT for my linksys wrt- models..does the NT56U have something similar...

Yesterday, I flashed DD-WRT, latest beta version, to my router, an Asus RT-N13U B1. After flashing DD-WRT, I couldn't get the 3G USB modem to work with it, and thus, I decided to flash back the original firmware onto it. I needed to put it into restore mode, but it was just not going into the restore mode. Then I read somewhere that after installing DD-WRT, other people had the same problem. [URL] So I connected to my router via telnet, using PuTTY, and ran the "mtd erase linux" command without the quotes. Even now, it isn't going into restore mode.

I just got a new Asus AC66U. When I play games I have severe stuttering now using the 5Ghz band. I ran a ping to the router and every 20-30 seconds it jumps up from 1ms to 100-900 for 2-4 pings then backs down. I tried running ping test on two computers with the same result.I tried fixing the 5Ghz to a specific channel. I've tried upper channels, lower channels, I've adjusted the channel width from 20-80Mhz. I've changed the preamble from long to short, I've upped the transmit power, I've turned off PnP. I haven't been able to change a setting that made a difference.
I did notice that the lag spikes were much less frequent in the morning when I tested, before everyone was using the internet, although I saw an occasional ping spike. They must be related to router load.i don't want to change the firmware on the router in case I have to return it. I spoke with Newegg and they're going to send me a replacement router. I doubt that it's the hardware, but this will be a good way to know for certain that it's not the hardware. Once I get the new router I'll test everything again including trying the ping with a LAN cable.

I'm about to jump on the bandwagon and drop my whr-g125 running tomato for a new wireless-n router that runs tomatousb. I can't seem to find a dual-band one that is supported.
Need:
- Wireless-n dual-band (2.4ghz+5ghz). Doesn't have to be the super fast type.. whatever is entry for this.
- At least 1 usb port for printer sharing
- Prefer gigabit, but I can live without
- Must be able to run Tomato in some form, or if I have to, run dd-wrt as a last resort.

I was having problems with the speed being between 30-58 kpbs when going through the WRT160N router, whether its hooked up wired or wireless, the speed with both was extremely slow and wouldnt fully open pager or would take dsl day slow. I hooked up straight to modem and I got 100+ kpbs so I figured its not my ISP, so I read that upgrading my firmware might make it faster, so I upgraded and hit and held the reset button for 30 secs like it recommended but now the 192.168.1.1 wont open, I get a message saying it cant open this page

I have an ASUS Z77 Motherboard and when I install the AI Suite II which comes on the installation disc it blocks my internet connection. When I uninstall the software my connection is fine. I am using an Ethernet connection by the way. I think it is being blocked by the component called Network iControl. As soon as that component is uninstalled my Internet connection comes back. I want to have the software, but I also want to have my connection.

I recently moved into a larger 2 story house, and for the first few months I was using a Linksys E1000 I've had for about 2 years now. It's a fine single band router, but the people upstairs and the xbox/PS3 in the living room didnt have the strongest connection.
I shopped around and finally got a ASUS RT-N66U for a really good, strong dual band router that would supposedly give better range and performance than my old E1000.
Unfortunately, since I got it everyone is having issues they never had before, namely:Signal dropping all around the house and having to search for the network much slower performance than before the xbox/PS3 cant hold a stable connection even for a few minutes now, when before you could watch Netflix HD programs easily
I've upgraded the Firmware to 3.0.0.3.178 since I heard earlier firmwares had issues, but other than that and opening my ports for qTorrent it is relatively stock settings.

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 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?

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?

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

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.

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 8 switches (different models) configured in stack:
Switch Ports Model SW Version SW Image------ ----- ----- ---------- ---------- 1 28 WS-C3750G-24TS-1U 12.2(55)SE C3750-IPSERVICESK9-M 2 26 WS-C3750-24P 12.2(55)SE C3750-IPSERVICESK9-M 3 30 WS-C3750X-24P 12.2(55)SE C3750E-UNIVERSALK9-M 4 30 WS-C3750X-24P 12.2(55)SE C3750E-UNIVERSALK9-M* 5 12 WS-C3750G-12S 12.2(55)SE C3750-IPSERVICESK9-M 6 30 WS-C3750E-24PD 12.2(55)SE C3750E-UNIVERSALK9-M 7 30 WS-C3750E-24PD 12.2(55)SE C3750E-UNIVERSALK9-M 8 30 WS-C3750X-24P 12.2(55)SE C3750E-UNIVERSALK9-M
Now I'm have IOS ver. 12.2(55)SE but from time to time I'm experiencing strange system freezing. It means that all systems connected to the stack are working very, very slow. It hapens ones, sometimes twice a month and takes 5 minutes. I didn't find anything strange in logs (neither on switch nor router). I would like to install other IOS version. Could you recomend me the most stable version for this stack (built from these different models) ?And the secound question: - Is it possible to copy SE1 manualy to every switch and reload one by one manualy. Will they join the stack and work fine after reload or maybe there will be a IOS mismatch ?
