    Is using 1 router port ok

    To add to the above, If I have to use multiple switches, which is common, I always try to keep all servers and shared resources on one switch, the core. From the core you can go to other switches, but avoid daisy chaining switches, i.e. going from the core to switch B, then from B to C...

    Ah yeah, I see now. I think they are playing a little loose with the facts there unless there is something new I don't know about.

    What is Your Internet speed?

    50/25 Business FIOS and that includes unlimited telephone calls, too. It's my wifes business connection. We just upgraded from 3meg DSL for $40/month, and dumped our home landline that was another $25 and rolled my wifes business landline into the FIOS, so with all that the cost was a wash...

    poe injectors

    Yep, that's true about the pairs. That what I was talking about in one of my posts above, that POE switches are only 100M, unless they have changed recently. The cameras won't matter as they only use about 5Mb/s, but I just decided to use injectors for the cameras and have a regular gig switch...

    Adding A modem to an existing router / wifi network

    2.200 is your current AP and is still going to be your AP when you are done, correct? If that is true, you aren't solving any bottlenecks with your wireless network by doing this. But to your question, your main router/AP that will be your dhcp server would need to be able to be capable of...

    Adding A modem to an existing router / wifi network

    OK, I may not understand this, but it seems like you want to remove some of your kids traffic from the main wireless network? Just set up your 2nd wireless device with a different SSID, and plug one of it's LAN ports into your network and have your kids connect to that SSID. Done. Once you...

    Wireless Config Help

    I edited my original post after you quoted me to add the following.... You can test it by turning off your Roku device. That will tell you if that is dragging your speed down and you can go from there.

    Wireless Config Help

    Do you mean it assigns the router WAN the 24.x address? It doesn't mean anything. You don't have to 'route' your wireless G devices to the 2nd AP, just have them join that one instead and leave your N router for N devices. With that said, I get 25M down on my wireless G devices, so that in...

    VPN cant use resources

    Have you tried to actually connect to a share, open an RDP session or something else? In otherwords, don't rely solely on a ping because it might be blocked somewhere.

    Hardware VPN - please help me understand...

    OP, If you are still watching this thread, be advised that the TP-ER6020 has some issues with client vpns. It will not currently allow you to use the same subnet for your vpn clients as the LAN, making it sort of useless. There are other inexpensive hardware vpns, and I'm currently working...

    poe injectors

    Number 42. Be sure the Foscam cameras are 'real' POE cameras before you buy the switches. Seems when I was researching them I discovered they included an injector with the package, but I may have been looking at a different model. Just be sure you know what they are before you drop a bunch of...

    poe injectors

    In that link I gave you shows the 'injectors' aren't individual [unless you buy those] but are in a block, similar to the size of that netgear. I understand your thoughts about keeping things neat. I almost went that direction myself and then realized that POE switches are limited to 100mb, at...

    Need vpn firewall for site to site and PPTP/L2TP client to site

    I’ve been looking for an ‘inexpensive’ vpn firewall, or rather 2 of them, to connect 2 sites using Ipsec tunnel and allow remote users with PPTP/LPTP to connect to the main location. I’ve tried the Trendnet BRV214, and returned it after a week because it was pretty buggy and the remote vpn...

    poe injectors

    I've just set up a small IP camera network using foscam units. Foscam runs on 5v. What I finally decided to do is use an injector block with 5v camera adapters. The injector 'inserts' 12-24v into the network cable, and the adapter converts it down to 5v. Here's the stuff I went with...

    help configuring watchguard xtm all interfaces one network

    We just upgraded our work firewalls from Watchguards to Palo Alto, and our watchguards were very old units. So, I don't know how they compare to the new watchguards. But, with ours, what you have to do is configure your network addresses for both WAN and LAN, and then you go into policy...

    TL-ER6020 review request?

    Client VPN IP Address Pool Can't Use Same Subnet? I searched around and this is the only thread about this router specifically. I've read the review and it doesn't address this, but it seems the problem exists with others, based on some forum posts and Amazon.com review for this unit...
