You probably wont notice, non-HD video will be fine unless you have spotty WiFi or cable line and it has to take longer to buffer. Generally its only going to be downloading files that really shows the difference, so you might have to be aware of occasional Windows Update or similar running in the background. If you are really worried and don't have a neighbour to test with you could install a rate limiter, set it to 2mb/s and play with it for a bit. http://www.netlimiter.com/ MrMoo fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Jan 31, 2014 |

Powercrazy posted:Modern circuit breakers are isolated from each other and the main feed using cool engineering magiks. This means that the signal won't stay intact unless it's on the same "piece of wire." So the answer is if it all goes dark at the same time when you flip the breaker, powerline should work. If not, it probably won't. They have to be paired afaik. Just use a switch before or after the powerline segment if you want more ports. According to the docs of the latest products this isn't all so lucky, the signal is quite happy to hop over breakers. This is why the products usually have an encryption layer. It also means it's a complete crapshoot whether powerline would work in every case.

It can be an IPv6 router, whether it is gimped is another question. Airport still only likes an odd subset of private addresses for IPv4 DHCP.

Use 5Ghz, that's what it is there for. Channel 14 is gimped enough already, its 802.11b and suffers from interference from commercial radio. I'm sure there are some insightful articles on the topic somewhere as this is frequently asked.

I'll be tempted to suggest a travel router these days as they are tiny, not sure on long term stability though. Outside of an Airport Express try looking at the routers that sit inside a wall plug like the older Apple Express models did. http://www2.elecom.co.jp/network/wireless-lan/hotel/wrh-150/ Tenda even explicitly compare their "travel router" against the older Apple models: http://www.tenda.cn/tendacn/Product/show.aspx?productid=393 MrMoo fucked around with this message at 14:03 on Sep 7, 2014 |

If it is the SMC model you set 10.1.10.10 as your DMZ host and disable everything else. Pretty much all you can do other than asking "Tech_Comcast" on whatever forums to remote in a convert the router to bridge mode. For some inane reason bridging does not work if you have a static IP, how they managed that.

But oh if I let Google Music play some tunes in the browser, the performance drops to half for no reason. Why are these terrible things still being built into mainboards?

Alternatively you can usually pick up recycled appliances, some low power units, for $100-200 on Ebay. It can be a bit random on the loudness of the device though: some can be silent, others not so.

Sounds like you are not using split-VPN, the VPN is forcing all traffic through the tunnel. But if you are saying the PCs are independent of the NAS and WDTV then something else is severely borked. It could be that one of the PCs has been elected the workgroup master for name resolution, try WDTV browsing by IP not hostname.

Fibre is normally an optical transceiver and a wifi router, it would be interesting to learn if you can just use any media converter. Transceivers usually have the benefit for the ISP and end-user is that it is easier to monitor the health of the connection as thus assist you when things go bad. Verizon's box looks significantly larger than it needs to be, it looks like it includes 4 FXS devices for VoIP though.

Minidust posted:Every now and then, the router at my place loses its internet connection. Turning it off and on again brings the connection back, 100% of the time (so I know the issue isn't with the provider or IP settings or anything like that). Would regular power cycling prevent that sort of thing from happening in the first place? Or is that type of outage completely random and just something I'll have to deal with? Sounds like a fault with the power supply, try a different cable or transformer if there is one. Do you suffer from brown outs?

As long as there's no building materials that adversely affect RF in an unusual way (lots of metal for instance), 2x2 is fine.

You can get travel WiFi routers can be set to client mode, i.e. just plugin a short RJ45 cable to your terminal. Advertised speeds range from 150-433mbps, the faster ones are bigger, I'm not sure if they get hotter. http://www2.elecom.co.jp/network/wireless-lan/hotel/ On the cheap side in the US you can probably scour for "gaming adapters" targeted at the Xbox and similar devices that did not have WiFi. But older adapter may not support WPA so be careful on the speeds and security options. Here is a random example from NewEgg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320164&cm_re=travel_wifi-_-33-320-164-_-Product  Smaller units are powered by USB so you don't need a special dedicated power brick.

An odd / interesting new development, http://www.bitdefender.com/box/ It lists itself as a home AV gateway but also a home VPN concentrator. It may skimp on the first half by simply providing a convenient method for PCs to install the Bitdefener software. At a minimum it is a firewall.

That's probably why it is fanless, their crap rear end site must be running with one as it is no longer working. Netgear faired better with a slimline 16-port model. The have another odd model range called "click mounting", example 16-port.

IPsec tends to be more reliable, an alternative would be Ubiquiti Edge Routers, not sure if all support VPN though. Depends if the additional functionality of pfSense is a bonus? I find recycled appliances on Ebay with pfSense pre-installed work well, but not ones with custom modifications like required for Firebox. Ideally find something without a custom power brick as that usually fails first, until USB-C is more widespread that usually means larger rack units which unfortunately can have really loud fan units.

caberham posted:Thanks for the reply. Is it possible to distinguish traffic? For instance, if I'm just surfing online or gaming, there's no need to go through the VPN, but if it's work related traffic or circumventing the great firewall, it's automatic port fowarding Some kind of HTTP proxy on pfSense that only uses the VPN interface and then configure clients on an URL basis to go DIRECT or use the PROXY. I've done it to access the BBC in China, the setup is OK but looking after it is not user friendly.

CrazyLittle posted:Don't get the UAP-LR. Just because you can see the access point from your device, doesn't mean that your device is powerful enough for the return trip. The UAP-LR is generally a bad idea. That's a rather novice understanding of radio transmission and reception. You pump more power into the antennas for longer broadcast, you use a larger antenna and amplifier to improve reception. You can work with just increased transmission power for point-to-point devices like Ubiquiti's airFiber range. If you look at the product details the modern AP is the same as the older AP-LR, the older AP was basically a lower powered version. The AP-LR was the same as the outdoor models (183m / 400ft range).
