Off topic - router suggestions

[mrzood]

MikroTik's are solid, but no 802.11AC.  This would be the one I'd mess with if my current setup dies: http://routerboard.com/RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN

 

I prefer a Cisco ASA 5505 and then a separate wireless AP.  Kind of expensive that way, though.

I have a belkin 750 AC router with 300mbps 2.4ghz and 450mbps 5ghz. I have cox ultimate which is supposed to support speeds of 150mbps down and 30mbps up. I can only get at max 50 on my G2 and even thats not consistent. On my laptop it has a 10/100 ethernet port so wired it maxes out around 86-88mbps. Again that was not consistent. Uploads are very consistent at 30-35mbps. The other packages i had from cox produced speeds better than advertised so I thought it would be the same but its not.

 

Would my router not having a gig ethernet port wlan and no lan gig ports also have something to do with it or is it more than that? I have had tech come twice and they cant find the problem.

Wow, i didn't know they still made routers without the gig lan/wan.  That's a big issue for me since i do a lot of lan data transferring.

[Terrell352]

That's a lot of snake oil anyways kind of like those crazy priced 100 megabit cable tiers.

[Terrell352]

You call paying $89 a month for 150mbps cable crazy? Thats a great deal

Yep.. Crazy.

[Terrell352]

But seriously the only reason i got the package is because i never seen speeds over 80mbps in person before. E penis status lol

If you heat up the gallon jug with hot air, you may be able to increase the total volume by 50%.  It may not look pretty, but it can be done...

Is that what happened to your head?

I don't think my head was swelling up like a balloon, so it had to have been the jug of milk.  Maybe it was Canadian survival expert Les Stroud and his magnificent "i must distill the water in this soda bottle.  But be careful you don't burn it and melts."

And we still call it a "gallon jug"?  Wow, I think you just rewrote the ideal gas law.  Bravo!

Can anyone explain what's up with my router? I have a dual antenna for 2.4ghz and 5ghz...my roku doesn't connect to my router unless I set the 2.4ghz to broadcast on channel 6 but then it makes my 5ghz network unstable/slow. I have no idea what to do now, I've tried different channels for the 5ghz one but none of them fix the issue.

I'd call it a modified gallon jug with excess capacity is the SAR-casta Band. I can also use a vaccum and have it holf a half-pint.

Are the bands on the same SSID?

No, my 2.4ghz WiFi is ssid: WiFi Deluxe Slurpee and the 5ghz network is WiFi Supreme Slurpee.

I believe that would be returned. That's a good bit of bleed over there!

 there are 5 firmware versions you could run, including two beta's that may fix the issue.

Do you think there's a value I can change to prevent the bleed,

I'll try the firmware update, thanks.

All depends on if you need that speed.  For instance paying another $30 a month for 100 megabit vs 25 megabit when 25 is plenty enough for our household is indeed crazy.  Especially with the dumb cap of 400 gig.

that's dependent upon usage, users and devices right?

You may have just contradicted yourself with that last "word."
