Yeah, that's really more of a storage thread thing but the reason is because the root folder is not shared. I think there is a hack you can do to share it, but I just made one shared folder to map and put everything else in that.

mod sassinator posted:Anyone have experience with TP-Link routers? Looking for something that does at least wireless N and gigabit ethernet, can run OpenWRT well, has solid reliability, and isn't that expensive. I don't need the router to do anything fancy like NAS, downloads, etc. since I have a Synology device for that. Just want something with good range and reliability. Thinking about the TP-Link WDR-4300--anyone have comments on it? I have had a 3600 (model one step down, 2 antennas) running DD-WRT for about 10 months now. My anecdotal evidence has been of pretty solid reliability. Current uptime is 26 days 5hrs, but I think that's because I had to unplug it to install a power strip. Don't know what it was before then.

I've had issues with 2 separate USB wireless-n adapters (including an Asus one) and my Asus RT-N66U router. For everything else I use, it's awesome and reliable. It's awesome wired, awesome wireless, etc. But for my Windows 7 desktop in a room about 20 feet away from the router, I routinely drop connection and have to reset things and other hassles I just can't deal with. For the past month I've just run a Cat5 cable across my hallway, but that's getting too tacky to deal with. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007ZWL4A6/?tag=pcpapi-20 Is this Intel PCI-e adapter a more reliable solution, typically?

So I bought an EdgeRouter Lite to replace an older Netgear with DD-WRT that seemed to be on it's last leg. I'm having a bit of trouble getting this thing working how I want it, however. Right now it is setup where eth0 is my WAN, and eth1-2 are my LAN and they are bridged so they share the same subnet. Everything seems to be working fine as far as just getting the internet to all of my devices, but I cannot get a Boxee Box to see SMB file shares from my main computer. eth1 is my main computer where the file share is eth2 is a ToughSwitch POE with the Boxee, a TiVo, PS3 and 2 UniFi AP's. I'm thinking it is a simple thing that I'm just not getting, if you have any idea what settings it could be, please throw it out there.

I don't know if just bridging the eth1 and eth2 interfaces is enough. Don't you still need to setup NAT and firewall rules?

I setup a NAT masquerade rule, that was the extent of anything I did there. The firewall is setup to accept established sessions, and drop those with an invalid state. I tried disabling the LAN rules and it didn't make a difference for seeing those file shares.

My network infrastructure Kung Fu is pretty crap, but I would plug my computer into the switch and not go through the router. If there isn't enough ports, I would buy a new switch and put PoE stuff on the old one, non-PoE stuff in the new one. Hang the PoE one off the new switch.

I agree, I'm just really lazy and don't want to go into the basement and pull cables around and stuff. I have my router and modem upstairs in case I ever need to screw around with it/see the pretty lights and then the switch is downstairs... I'm betting if I just went ahead and plugged every device directly into the switch that it would work fine.

I'm interested because I just finished setting up my edgerouter lite last night and it was 10 minutes of setup then 3 hours of debugging to figure out that my "no routes to host error" on eth2 wasn't working because I didn't set up the DHCP on eth0 with DNS and default routes. So it very well is something tiny. I have been looking up how bridges work since it seems like you've done everything you should.

I assume the issue lies in routing/switching between the LAN ports, as it seems like routing/switching between the WAN port and LAN is working fine. I've never touched Ubiquiti gear, though, so I can't even guess at any specifics.

I have a 1 Gbit ethernet plug in my room and I use a Dlink 652 router to give internet to my desktop computer and iPad. If I connect the desktop directly into the wall I measure 700 Mbit/s, but when I go trough the router I just get 70 Mbit/s. From reading about the router it's supposed to handle 1 Gbit/s. How can I improve the speed to my desktop?

It's on DHCP. I can set it in both manual internet setting and network setting. Manual internet setting says "internet connection type, the network setting says "enable built in DHCP server", should both be on? Some weird stuff is that download speed is 60 Mb, but upload is 170 Mb? And every time I change a setting I have to wait half an hour for it to connect again.

You should turn off DHCP on the router since it sounds like you're just using it as a switch in your room.

Sorry for the late reply, I had to sleep. I live in a university apartment, in my room there is a ethernet connection. I can either connect it directly to my computer or into the DLink 652 router. The router then is supposed to give internet to my desktop via lan cable and to my phone and iPad on wifi.

Turn off DHCP and plug everything into the switch ports on the DLink and see if it works. University networks are very tricky because the policies on campuses change wildly. At my school, when you first connected you had to agree to a Usage Policy, and then your MAC was registered and an IP assigned. If your school just runs DHCP then you should be fine, but otherwise you may need to spoof MAC addresses and whatever else and deal with the slowness.

I'm having trouble with WiFi range in a 1000 sq ft apartment. I picked up an ASUS RT-N66R yesterday (apparently the identical retail version of the N66U) to replace the crap Time Warner gave us. Getting 30 Mbps down in the living room, but nothing in my room 4 walls away. Moving the router to the hallway was better (3 whole megabits!) but would require running power and ethernet thorugh the kitchen and living room. Any suggestions?

Have you checked how many other networks are in your area. It is possible that (since you are in an apartment) there are many causing interference. You may want to switch channels to avoid some of the more occupied frequencies. Are you using 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz channel. It is likely that 2.4Ghz is much more crowded in an apartment environment and using 5Ghz you may seen an improvement (assuming your devices support 5Ghz).

I'm in Manhattan so there are 20-30 networks around. I installed asuswrt-merlin firmware and changed the channel and it's working better now. Still a fraction of the full speed, but manageable. I have to use 2.4GHz unfortunately since I don't get reception in here with the 5Ghz.

The title of this thread is really appropriate since I've been experiencing the "magic" first hand the last couple days. "Magic" being endless frustration and randomness and "experiencing" being barely able to contain my rage. So I've got some experience with home networking, I'm not an expert by any means but I can pull up a command prompt and type ipconfig so I know more than most. But today I got pretty confused since I'd get a stable connection from my modem for 10 minutes, then a minute of being disconnected, then stable again. Thing is, the physical line sync is up, and the disconnects seem purely random. I've got a modem/router in my kitchen and a router in my room connected via WDS (I wish I'd just bought a wireless switch instead) and that seems to be the problem area. So today I thought I'd finally post for help when I changed some settings locally on my computer (setting static IP instead of automatically obtain) and that caused my modem/router to suddenly get no response from the ISP server. 10 minutes later, after wanting to pull my hair out and yelling "how the gently caress does that even happen! networking sucks!" I saw that the modem/router had the DNS server set to automatically obtain. I set it to my ISP's DNS server and it seemed to fix it. So I guess my question is: what the gently caress is up with the DNS server problems and poo poo on my network? Any device set to automatically obtain on the network sets the DNS server to my modem/router's ip address and my router in my room has DHCP disabled to avoid any automatic IP address setting confusion. So I guess if my modem/router is confused about what DNS server to connect to, then those devices are poo poo outta luck. But I really have no idea, most of the time when confusing problems like this happen it's like an episode of House, just changing settings I'm familiar with until one of them works. There's a whole lotta trial and error.

Just a side note. I ended up getting the R7000 Netgear instead of the Airport Extreme and so far am incredibly pleased with it. Easy setup, reasonable UI, just completely crushing my expectations of range and wifi ping times. The frustrating thing is I bought a lower end router last year for $100 which was crap, had terrible range and had to be restarted every other day to given even a modicum of service. I should have just spent the extra dollars initially rather than have a horrible experience with consumer level routers. The main difference for me was this router was a bit cheaper than the Airport Extreme, I didn't see the Airport Extreme when I was looking for routers [at the store], and the idea of maybe having a USB3 drive someday connected directly to the router seems like a pretty good reason to go with the Netgear one.

If there's hardware support for ipsec that might mean hardware support for AES (or 3DES). Are you using those ciphers for openvpn?

The hardware acceleration only works for IPSec apparently, but it does use AES. I could load balance between 2 openvpn tunnels to use the other CPU core but that still won't get me to 50Mb/s

Embedded solutions without hardware offload aren't going to cut it. Even if you do find a platform with crypto offload (e.g. VIA Padlock) you'll still hit a CPU bottleneck since OpenVPN runs in userspace. You can benchmark to find the upper throughput limit on a particular platform by disabling encryption in OpenVPN.

I'm having the most annoying loving problems with my wireless speed/latency on a new RT-N56U. I can be on my phone (Nexus 5), on 5Ghz, literally sitting 1 meter from the router, and it there is a multiple second delay to respond to any networking action (ie. refreshing Facebook, navigating to a website, etc). Mobile speedtest results are fine, but there is the same delay in starting the tests that is somehow not recorded in the ping part of the speed test (still <50ms). Wired is totally fine, but this wireless delay will happen on any device. I live in a pretty dense apartment building so I know the 2.4Ghz spectrum is jammed full, but this shouldn't be a problem on 5Ghz. I'm on the most up-to-date stock firmware. Has anyone else had a problem with this router model before?

This is a shot in the dark, but could it be a DNS problem? If your DNS server is responding really slowly that could cause some of those symptoms. Maybe try configuring Google DNS? https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/
