i just ordered from newegg the asus rt-n16 for 65 bucks incl mir.but just see they have e4200-rm for 110 and wonder if I should pick that one instead?What I have in my apartment is a 4 bdrms unit, 4 laptops, 1 desktop, 1 htpc ( for online video streaming or internet TV), the catch is that the unit is awefully shaped so that my current buffalo g300 cannot send good wireless signals to 2 rooms, and getting our neighbor's free internet is actually a better alternative ( said linksys on the SSID lolll)so I was wondering would n16 be a good fix for my problem or should i just jump for e4200?wouldn't mind to do the dd wrt hassle since i'm comfortable with diys. and also would the fact the asus has 3 antenna gives a better signal coverage? I really hope this will be my last router purchase lolllll and if next year i'm buying a big house I hope the purchase today can be sustainable?btw, all I am doing is online gaming, browsing, P2P, online streaming, VOIP etc
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.
I noticed that my Asus RT-56U router feels really really hot. It's like the sidewalk on a hot day. I was wondering if it's suppose to be like that or if it's a problem i should worry about.
I am having the excact same problem, but I have an Asus F3l, which is only a couple of years old - shouldnt the drivers be valid - ie, hasnt WPA been around for some time?
I currently have a D-Link DIR-615 as my home router, but I've been underwhelmed with its range. Before I go switching stuff around. My D-Link is flashed with dd-wrt, and my RT-10+ would be as well.
My goal would be to increase the range if I could, but not at the cost of dependability. I almost never have to reset the D-Link, but I really don't have any experience with ASUS so I'm not sure where they fall in terms of quality.
So my setup has been built around playing nice with my Uverse Gateway. Basically the Router is hooked into a Lan port to the gateway and I have enabled DMZ-Plus to disable the firewall on the gateway's end. Wireless on the gateway has been turned off.
My issue is if I try and plus my Thecus N4100 pro into the router, it doesn't see it at all. The only way I can get my N4100 pro to work is to plug it directly into the gateway with my desktop pc and in that case the gateway wireless has been turned off only my desktop pc see's the nas...
It's definitely not ideal, and I am not sure what to do. I wanted to be able to use this router to do the bulk of the pc related things and only have the gateway handle uverse tv (WAP)...
I want to make a career in networking.What does 3g stand for.is it different from 1G or 2g except that the speed is higher than the above two.And nowdays the USB modems that come out say 3g and also there are two kinds of speed 3.6Mbps and 7.2 Mbps.How come such a huge difference under the same kind of connection standard .And when 3g came out there was lot of hype.
When I start a web browser based application with a URL beginning with the 192 IP address. it runs as it should including the script dbscript.php which executes a MySQL commit unit.However when I start the application with the same URL but beginning instead with "localhost", it fails during the commit unit. It puts a blank screen up (rather than a Succesful or Failed commit screen) and leaves an error message in the Apache error_log indicating a problem with dbscript.php (which does the commit).I assume the 192 IP address is that of my modem. I assume that because the application will not start with the 192 URL if the modem is switched off. The application will start whether the modem is on or off if the URL begins with "localhost".I have checked all hosts files that are on the system and see nothing amiss there -- they are all defaults and no changes have been made by me.
Configuration:
Mac OS X v. 10.6.8 Apache v. 2.2.21 PHP v. 5.3.8 MySql v. 5.1.39
Just like the topic says i am wondering what is the difference between QOS and WISH on this router, as far i can tell they are both for traffic shaping but surely there must be a difference.Also will either allow for entire IP's/connections be prioritized over others or just specific applications?
First, I am lost between the differences between Port Forwarding, QoS and Application Rules...5 PC's online at same time playing Diablo 3. All lag terribly, and I see posts saying to setup QoS, then another says port foward, then another says setup application rules. I want any PC running D3 to have top priority and max bandwidth...If I try to set QoS, it has Protocol and Remote Port Ranges which I don't know what to put where.If I try to Port Forward, it only wants to let me use one IP address for the ports needed, plus I don't understand the difference between TCP and UDP settings.If I try Application Rules, it asks for a firewall port, which I don't know what to enter.Diablo 3 uses ports 80, 1119, and 6881-6999 I have Rev A2 with 1.21 Firmware and all my machines are on Win7. Should I upgrade firmware? If so, which one?
if my internet carrier supports both, why should I spend a little more to get a cable modem that has DOCSIS 3.0 support? What's the benefit over DOCSIS 2.0 (or 1.0)?
I need to set up a VPN connection between two branch offices and the main office (three nodes)From the specs it looks like CISCO881-K9 can do the job. What is the main difference between CISCO881-SEC-K9 and CISCO881-K9?Is Avanced IP security feature set required?
I recently bought the above product, the ASUS USB N13 network adapter, and last night when i tried connecting to my wireless router, it worked, but I found that I could only get a maximum on 35% signal, where as my Acer laptop from 2005, receives upto a 100% signal. For a product thats rated at 150m range, distance should not be a problem, I have screen shot if required of the signal strength.
Readers Digest Version: Worked fine yesterday nothing has change in my connection settings, router settings or server settings. (Computer is located at work in an AD setup, I am first level IT Support here) Router shows as it is getting a connection from the network card which is a Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller with latest drivers right from realtek (and asus version tried too). But is not connecting at 10/100 or 1000. (Have two connection sources to test to).
What I have tried:
- Tried it on a 10/100 router and a gigabyte switch - Multiple cat5's - Performing a clean uninstall of the driver and reinstall both from the Asus and Realtek websites of both drivers. - Disabling the lan rebooting, enabling he lan and trying to connect. - Disabling power save multiple times. - Checking bios for any lan options (which there was surprisingly very little options) - Latest bios firmware - Tried changing the duplex to 10/100 for the hell of it!
May try:- Reinstalling windows. I had this problem a couple weeks ago, I went into the bios and enabled PXE boot when into windows and it was suddenly working as usual again. Went back to bios disabled PXE and it was still working fine. I did it again today to no avail....
So I just got an Asus RT-N10+ trying to repeat my Buffalo Airstation wireless signal (WPA2/PSK). I choose the repeater step in the quick setup, and the signal has full bars, but when I try to connect, it gets stuck at:
"Please wait, RT-N10+ is connecting to buffaloairstation..." and it stays like that indefinitely and after a while, the ASUS wireless connection disappears as it continues "connecting".
I recently bought a Asus DSL N13 router and one of the points that made me purchase it was the ability to plug a printer in via USB and all users on the network could share this printer. I double checked that my printer (Cannon IP4300) was compatible and its on the list here [URL]. I've set up the router and this work fine, both my desktop (running windows 7 64 bit) and my laptop (running vista 32 bit) can access the router and connect to the internet fine, both via ethernet cable and over wireless connection.
However I've been banging my head against a wall with regards to sharing the printer. I can connect the printer to the router and in the router configuration there is a tab for the printer server and this see's my printer (Cannon IP4300). However when i try to add a new printer on either my desktop or laptop i cannot see the printer, whatever i try!
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, and using a ASUS USB-N13 Adapter to connect to my ASUS RT-N16 Router. I am able to connect to the network with no problems, however every 10-15 minutes I will be disconnected. I am almost positive the issue is with this computer or the adapter, because I have no wireless connectivity problems with my xbox.After being disconnected, there are 2 ways that I get the connection back. I either:1. Right click the windows wireless network icon (bottom right) and click troubleshoot problems. This seems to turn the adapter on and off during the automated troubleshooting and is then usually able to connect.2. In the ASUS software, I click "IP Renew" and this can sometimes fix the problem.Sometimes I am able to stay connected for hours, while other times it disconnects every few minutes. I have no idea what the problem is, and I know my way around computers pretty well but I am not well versed in networking.
I have a router at college. An Asus RT-N16. I have DD-WRT on it. I used to own a wrt54gl until it crapped out on me.The problem is: Everything works fine, but I cannot access my colleges website. Like the .edu address. None of it. When I directly connect to the wall I am fine, with the router I cannot go to our .edu site. It just gives a generic error saying it cannot reach the website/address.I have tried everything. Static IP that is linked to my computer and allowed on the network. DHCP. I have done MAC cloning. It used to work on the wrt54gl.
I'm often on my university WiFi, which is unsecured. I have a new ASUS router that supports a VPN network, so I've created a VPN network and it seems to be working-- I connect to the VPN through the unsecured WiFi and I can see my home computers on my network.I want to tunnel all my internet browsing through the VPN, for security, but when I'm on my VPN, I can't browse the internet. I understand that I can go into advanced settings and set it up so that I'm on the VPN while still browsing on the unsecured wireless (I think that's called split-tunneling), but that seems to defeat the purpose. I think I have to set up port forwarding, or maybe a DNS server...
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...
My house is wired so any demanding network transfers are done over the wired network, wireless is reserved for casual stuff. This month my internet connection is eventually going to exceed 100Mbps so I need to dump my WRT54G and while I'm sure the RT-N66U is very nice, I could save $100 buying the RT-N16.
I have a gigabit switch that works great and handles all of the local traffic, I just need the router for DHCP, NAT, basic wireless connectivity, and it needs to be able to pull in over 100Mbps from the internet. So is the RT-N16 adequate for me?
I have a weird issue I have never seen before and am trying to get some answers. I setup a laptop for one of our employees who works out in the field. We typically login to the machine while on the network with a domain account. This is so the password gets cached and they can login to the machine once they receive it. I sent a laptop to this one guy (who is rather tech savvy-so I know it is not user error) and he could not login to the laptop using his network credentials. I was able to get him on his home network using his router, and I RDP'ed into the machine. When I was remotely connected, I was able to login to the PC with no problem. However, after I disconnected, he tried to login also and it kept telling him that the domain was not available? It wasn't even an "invalid password or login" error.I ended up creating another local account on the machine so he could work, but I am stumped as to why he could not login locally, but I could using RDP.
I am wondering what the difference in size of small, medium , large business network would be?Like say is 0 - 50 computers a small network 100 - 1000 a medium size network 1000 > a large network ?cOr are their other factors one most consider?
I am buying a new wireless router for my home, and in the tech specs it tells me the router has Ethernet ports. If I only have internet through an asdl port will I still be able to buy the router and use it via ASDL?
