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 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 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.
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 ?
We have several of these WS-C2960S-24PS-L running 12.2(55)SE5 C2960S-universalK9-M and need to upgrade to a better.IOS since we have a sitution where CPU would get to 100% but we have only a few ports connected.Also we have several of WS-C3750-48P running 12.2(55) SE6 C3750-IPBASEK9-M.
I am currently trying to setup a GRE tunnel on a cisco 861. As part of a configuration template provide by an outside source I am recommended to use a sub-interface on the router but the recommended configuration does not work.
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 ?
I have a situation where a customer doesn't have the required power units installed in their 6500 for me to provision a WiSM2.They use a VSS pair with a single Sup720 in each. They have no intention of adding a second Sup to each chassis.
I need to justify why they can't use slot 6 (which has power reserved) if I am to get them to upgrade the PSU's. The documentation I've found says it is supported but not recommended.
We are about to upgrade our training facilities wireless and i have a few questions regarding the number of active clients we should target our design for.
We would be using 1142 and 3502I access points. I was thinking that based on the belo we'd be able to support around 30-40 clients per AP.

I have a pair of ASA 5510s configured in active/standby mode. I have already configured the fail over settings on the firewalls. Both firewalls are connected to a 2960G. I made a change to the interfaces on the 2960 to allow 2 mac addresses on each port. [code]
Upon testing failover via the failover active command, I get port-security errors on the outside interface for each device:%PORT_SECURITY-2- PSECURE_ VIOLATION: Security violation occurred, caused by MAC address aaaa.bbbb.cccc on port GigabitEthernet0/8. After a few minutes, the error goes away and I can then connect to each firewall. It seems that it still waits for the aging time to expire before allowing the other MAC address. Shouldn't the "maximum 2" setting allow for both mac addresses?
I'd rather not have to hardcode the firewall's MAC addresses on each switchport because I could see this causing problems for us down the road. Is there anything else that can be done?
Looking for a recommended code on the ASA 5585x firewall. We ran into a bug (CSCtr24705) on version 8.4.2 where it rebooted the primary firewall. The bug has to do with modifying an existing ACL that's part of a custom policy-map inside a service-policy. If we upgrade to 8.4.5 (which has the previous bug fix in it), there is another major bug (CSCud70273) where if you use the packet-tracer input command on an inside interface it causes problems too.
I don't understand why packet-tracer input would have a bug associated with it when it's been around for a long time and we use it on a daily basis for troubleshooting. Is there stable code for the 5585x to upgrade to without running into possibly a major bug? This is our core firewall so there are no VPN tunnels on it. It's setup in active/standby failover in routed mode.
I have a Netcomm router which I've had working as my ADSL and my wireless AP.I connected a DLink router via ethernet so as to extend the range of my WIFI.This has worked, but now I cant log in to my DLink router.It started with IP 10.1.1.1After setting it up to not do automatic dhcp and then plugging it in to my Netcomm (which is on 192.168.1) I can no longer find the DLink, whether connected over ethernet or wireless. How it might have had its IP changed as it join the network?
Today I bought a new TP-Link Wireless Router in China, (TL-WR845N), and set it up with followed instructions with the router IP setup too with 192.168.1.1. Before, it was only LAN and now I bought the wireless to use my iPhone with it. Now LAN wont work at all on either of my computers. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Ethernet drivers, rebooted/checked the modem and router, but still couldn't get it to work. My Windows XP shows connected, but Chrome says unable to connect to the Internet.
I've checked TCP/IP settings, made it automatic, still nothing.
i am using wifi enabled laptop and dont have a wifi router. i tried ad-hoc networks and it was successful but my wifi phone doesnt identify ad-hoc networks. is there any other way of doing this
Part of my house doesn't get the Wifi signal from my router. I want to setup a second WiFi router in another part of my house. I was thinking of running an ethernet cable out of the existing WiFi router through the walls to the other location and plugging it into the input on a second Wifi router. Would this work?
I have tried the signal repeater route and the signal just doesn't repeat strong enough.
I have a wifi router and a adsl ethernet/usb router, the adsl router connect to my laptop through usb port, and the wifi router connect to the adsl router throught ethernet/wan port.I can go online with the adsl router alone but cant with the wifi.I can connect to the wifi router's gate to config stuff, like password, wifi's name... but I just can not connect to IPS to online. Other devices can see the wifi network but when connect to it, I just can go to it's gateway.
