    AC66U, setting up OpenVPN for USB storage, questions on keys and certs...

    Good morning/afternoon, My questions pertain mostly to easyRSA and oVPN config files, so if someone feels this thread belongs elsewhere, let me know. However, I'm using a merlin-asus firmware, so I feel this thread belongs in SNB's VPN Section rather than on easyRSA's github or OpenVPN's site...

    External Antenna for RT-N66U

    So in regard to higher gain, have we come to the conclusion that we CANNOT find better-than-stock antennas? If powerline + AP is the best option, then so be it. But until then, i'm still willing to look around for crazy antenna gain. Someone suggested this brand in a different thread. Could...

    Load-balancing: I'm lost and I need some help, please.

    JoeJoe, i didn't mean to offend you or your less-than-stellar speeds. I live in the capital city of my province, in a new-ish condo that uses cat5e in the walls, only 1 block away from the massive University of Alberta, and i'm on the edge of the city center. If ANYONE should get great speeds...

    Load-balancing: I'm lost and I need some help, please.

    Hello, again. So I just had my Telus tech visit my premise to discuss bonding DSL lines. According to him and his instructors, Telus does not have the infrastructure to bond DSL lines, neither in residential nor business sectors. Telus actually sucks HUGE. They are terrible. They are about...

    Load-balancing: I'm lost and I need some help, please.

    Hi, GregN; My searches for PCI adsl modems has also shown a lot of UK discussion. But as long as they're also using ADSL2+, are there really THAT many differences that can exist between UK and Canadian ISPs? As far as the modems... my ISP (Telus) gives out the JUNKIEST router/modem combo...

    Load-balancing: I'm lost and I need some help, please.

    Hello, all; I called my ISP asking about Bonded-DSL and so far i've got "no we don't do that" and "I'm not sure what you're talking about". I'm not discouraged about that because i have yet to speak with a field technician (appointment this Saturday) who actually knows his network. The reps...

    Load-balancing: I'm lost and I need some help, please.

    Hi, stevech; I know i am capable of getting cable speeds up to 250Mbps, but my ISP has struck a VERY good deal with me. I'm getting (if bonded) 50Mbps down and 6Mbps up for $54/mth; that means i'm getting one of my DSL lines for free (according to regular pricing in a bundle) and paying less...

    Load-balancing: I'm lost and I need some help, please.

    I'm calling on the advanced networkers to help me. I am tired of scourging the web for answers on load-balancing setups when i don't even understand the principles myself. So i'm needing some help to design a system at home for myself using load-balancing. I have two identical 25Mbps ADSL2+...

    Advice for new laptop/router with 60GHz coming???

    Thank you everyone. I feel a bit better about getting a decent laptop now and waiting for a killer one for another year or so. I suppose this topic is finished for me now. Now if I could only find a 4-stream n router... Dave

    Advice for new laptop/router with 60GHz coming???

    And also part of my original question, what interface might a 60GHz accessory use? USB2.0 is only 480Mbps so it's out, Firewire 3Gbps (USB3.0 slightly better), eSata 3Gbps, HDMI is 10Gbps.

    Advice for new laptop/router with 60GHz coming???

    Oh boy i see i've created a stir! Members, thanks for the replies. But herein lies my problem: on one hand I have members saying 60GHz will be public sooner than thought, but on the other members are saying that I shouldn't bother because 60GHz is like HD-DVD. In order to move past these...

    Advice for new laptop/router with 60GHz coming???

    Hello, all; I've come to this site for a while now in search of wireless knowledge, and so it only made sense to ask my questions here. Mods please move this thread accordingly, thanks. A little theory first... 60GHz is set to hit the mainstream in 2012 sometime, boasting speeds of...
