I too want to live in a world where SATA III would bottleneck the internet connection.

redeyes posted:What kind of data cap is that anyways? Can you blow through it in a day? Comcast enforces a 1TB per month plan. Yes you probably could blow through 1TB at 2gbps in about 10-15 minutes if the remote side and all connections between allowed full use of that speed. 1TB = 1024GB 1024GB / 2GBPS = 512sec or ~8.6min not counting protocol overhead or latency. If you're asking about the 10gig speedtest result I posted, there's no data cap. It's 10gbps fiber at a commercial data center, connected to a internet backbone provider.

I've been having intermittent modem bed-making GBS threads for 4 days now. I have fairly standard OP equipment (SB6183/Archer C5) and am getting fatal T4 timeouts about once every 45 minutes I've had a tech here twice, to no avail. My provider Spectrum (formerly TWC) is running a 7 day "study" of my internet where engineers will examine what's going on wrt my line and my building's service, and call me back on the 8th day with findings and steps. Is this a thing..?

Is this a thing..? This can be a thing. Tracing the problem is important. Could be anything from a bad cable connection to the modem just making GBS threads itself or the router having issues. I've lived in places where the high humidity corroded the copper connections at the wall socket. I used to go through a lot of ADSL modems with the solution ending up buying a decent modem with proper cooling. I'm still using the modem I bought at the time I posted this thread (until I get a fibre install towards the end of this year).

I haven't been following this thread in awhile since I last purged my bookmarks... I'm stuck in the recommending-a-family-member-a-router hell. He's a pretty technical guy just doesn't know much about networking stuff so I'm thinking a USG would be a good thing. I came to double check the OP and noticed it wasn't in there, but I seem to recall people liking the USG ok last time I was reading the thread...particularly because of the integration with the controller software for the unifi access points. Yes or no on the USG?

Do they already have a UniFi controller somewhere and are comfortable with the UI? I wouldn't recommend a USG to somebody who wasn't already a UniFi user if I wanted to not have to talk to them about it again.

The OP says SurfBoards are supposed to last a long time. I've had mine for 2 years and TWC (Spectrum) is telling me they think my connection issues are modem related, even though I'm getting T4 timeouts. Thoughts? E: TWC said I definitely need a new modem. I'm in a very crowded area (NYC) and my "plan" is the 200mbps plan. Is it worth it to go up an extra $30 and get the SB6190 for the 32x8?

SB6190 has the flawed Puma chipset; avoid that one. SB6183 is more than fine for 200Mbps; upgrade pick would be the more-expensive SB8200.

My ping is fine on both (roughly 10-20ms) but my downloads on wireless.. woof. E: My internet has stopped working again, even with the new modem Spectrum told me to purchase.

Thermopyle posted:Maybe a note about it in the OP? Dunno if thats a good idea or not... For most cases it's not the best choice. I did think about adding it in January but decided against it. I'll add to my list to reconsider. Literally checked my NAS to make sure it has the latest firmware. It's firewalled, requires login and has antivirus. I like the advice given in the article to change default passwords and disable remote administration. Seriously companies should ship with a custom password like I've seen on ASUS routers and remote admin should be off by default on consumer devices.

My apartment building just signed a contract with Google Webpass, so I signed up immediately after they started accepting applicants from my building. I’ve been having a problem with my throughput, though. I get about 930Mbps up and down when connected directly into the wall, but once I hook up my router (a 5 year old Asus RT-AC68P), I’m only getting 300Mbps over Wifi. I’ve tried changing all the settings to what’s recommended by people who weren’t having any issues with their 1 gigabit connections with the router. I’ve tried changing the Wifi channel around depending on what I’ve noticed other people in my building have been using. I’ve also tried different firmware versions and even installed Asuswrt-Merlin and played around with the various settings some more. None of this has helped me get past around 300-400Mbps. I can’t figure it out and it’s incredibly frustrating. Is this an issue with my router? Should I look into upgrading to something else to maximize my throughput?

Devian666 posted:It appears that it's the maximum wireless throughput based on this review and testing. Huh. Could have sworn the forum posts I saw on snb said people were able to get close to 1Gbps on wireless, but I guess they were just talking about wired. In any case, since I’ll be looking for a new router, it looks like the ER-X will also top out at about 500-600Mbps. Does the Edgerouter Lite have the same limitation?

ER Lite is stated to being able to reach up to 950 mbps. Ubiquiti's marketing states 1 million packets per second but that's a very cultivated throughput figure.

ihatepants posted:660Mbps down/350 up, so a bit faster than wireless. Yeah so even if you did get the wifi to work at full router speed, you're still capped at 660/350. But don't get your hopes up anyways. The fastest throughput you can get with 80mhz wide channels is roughly 600mbps (with 100% signal strength at 1300mbps PHY connect rate) and that requires that you're using an access point or router with 3x3 MIMO and a laptop that ALSO has 3x3 MIMO

Sorry I'm not versed in SHSC jokes. Is this a serious option or something silly? Merlin doesn't support meshing, and that's what I really want. My house had the coax dropped in at my library off in my bedroom, and most of our internet happens at the living room, which there are at least five walls in the way, including a long hallway wall nearly parallel the LOS to the router. I know how to terminate RG6 and CAT5 but there's not a ton of great options to get it up through my attic. Wasabi the J fucked around with this message at 14:56 on May 24, 2018 |

It's a serious option, check out the giant post in the first reply here regarding how to do it. https://slickdeals.net/f/9330575-asus-tm-ac1900-wireless-ac1900-dual-band-gigabit-router-59-free-shipping I actually did it with all the tools/stuff they linked throughout the post and the most time consuming part was to wait for the router to reboot. Otherwise it's pretty straightforward and only took about 30 minutes. Also check out tomato's features to see if it does what you want, or else I personally prefers tomato firmware such as the shibby tomato branch due to how stable they are.

What are the recommendations for routers for VPN speed? I was looking to get the Edgerouter pro but after some googling I'm seeing post about VPN speeds of ~50Mb/s for openvpn. Some Asus routers seems to be getting 250Mb/s. So what is the cheapest router I can get that will give over 100Mb/s over OpenVPN?

Asus routers are a bit weird, the AC-86U has AES-NI and does well with VPN, but the higher end 87 and 88u does not, so the 86u actually outperforms them. All three though seem overpriced to me.
