BangersInMyKnickers posted:is the wrt54gl enough to handle a 25mbit dsl connection with QoS rules or is the hardware too old to do it effectively? they're still skating by on a 200mhz processor but I really like the tomato firmware, but even the cheapo $20 tplink things that can run dd-wrt are coming with 500+mhz chips it will handle it ok if you also don't need to do file transfer between computers on the network

I had a rev1 wrt54gs back in the day and it did a rental house with a few people without much of a problem but the cable was capped at 12mbit. no idea if it can handle twice that through the nat or not. not having qos on this att home gateway shitpile is killing me though

cool beans because i have an netgear wndr3700v1 but the ipv6 support is bad/nonexistent so i'd like to fix that with a firmwares

the efficacy of qos (for home use at least) is dubious at best

you're an idiot and it works great to pressure down a dipshit saturating the connection with a torrent

i know this is from the "water is wet" file but the cable modem gateway we have is so bad. like if you download uncapped from steam it kills the whole connection.never happened with my old asus router but sadly that routers radio got funky i need to bridge wthis piece of poo poo and get anything routing in its stead

if you need more than 4 channels for your speedy internet the 6121 won't keep up if you have more than 4 channels you probably already have the box that supports it

I like the 6141 because it's like $5 more for a little bit of futureproofing

do Seagate external hard drives still fall apart? Amazon has a 5tb external Seagate on sale for $129 and a 4tb WD for $131. I know their reputation is not for reliability and the last Seagate I had died within 6 months taking my vast collection of Linux ISOs with it, but I also know WD puts lovely drives in their external boxes too.
