    [Q] WiFi client and Access Point less than 5cm/2 inches appart

    Hi Quick hypothetical question. What if anything happens if a wifi client and access point are sitting right next to each other and almost touching. Is there any impact on 2.4GHz/5GHz access?? I googled a bit on half-dupex Ethernet as it's CSMA/CD which is close to CSMA/CA used in WiFi, but...

    Article Discussion: How Many SSIDs Is Too Many?

    I have two routers (ASUS RT-AC66U and Linksys E4200v1) 15metres apart on a home LAN with two SSID on each router, one for 5GHz(802.11n/ac) and one for 2.4GHz(802.11n/g). I have in house DNS and DHCP servers(Linksys E4200v1) with DHCP MAC to name pre-mapped, with unknown DHCP devices blocked...

    [Q] ASUS RT-AC66U Ethernet WAN port bound to primary bridge group.

    On an ASUS RT-AC66U, is it possible to 'bind' the Ethernet Gbit WAN port to an existing switched Ethernet bridge group to provide an extended switched LAN to the primary router? I'd still like the 802.11n and 802.11ac WiFi to remain an Access Point. Current Scenario location A: Linksys...

    Added a third WiFi antenna on 2x2 card

    Now doing more reading and note that the 2.4GHz frequency requires an antenna of approx 12.5cm in length. Now I have two cables attached to the PCIe WiFi half card which does both 2.4GHz and 5GHz with a connection speed of 300Mbits using 40MHz channels. Does this mean the other cable is...

    Added a third WiFi antenna on 2x2 card

    Just double up on one of the existing connection points on the PCIe half card was my initial 'uninformed' thought. True it only has two coloured 'chicken wires' attached. Interesting, I read about the antennas being 'tuned' to given frequencies, but had not idea this was to do with the 'wire'...

    EA-N66 - Static IP as repeater

    ASUS EA-N66 Version 1.0.1.8g firmware I have an EA-N66 and it's working fine as an access mode Ethernet bridge, but that allows for a static IP address and DHCP disabled. When I set the EA-N66 up in "Repeater Mode" on my Linksys E4200v1 with Tomato firmware, it's dynamic IP or nothing. I saw...

    That's cool, I don't have a problem with that. My problem is that I can't even get to the web site using Opera Mini. http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/ just returns a blank page or an error. Opera Mobile works OK... but that doesn't have an RSS reader. So if an article looks interesting I...

    strong wifi dual band router?

    Linksys E4200v1 has really good 2.4GHz signal, BUT 5GHz is a bit of a shocker. Will run Tomato firmware.

    Weird finding with E4200 - speed with mobile devices

    Oke pokey... I've just checked this out of interest myself, as I have a Linksys E4200v1 and use WiFi with estrong file explorer (Android) to my 802.11g XPERIA X10i from/to my QNAP NAS (gigabit LAN). And if anything should be rotted, it should be my mobile phone. :-) I just tethered my XPERIA...

    Linksys E4200v1 vs Linksys E4200v2

    Given there has been a change from the Linksys E4200v1 Broadcom chipset to the Linksys E4200v2 Marvell chipset, I was wondering what the performance between the two is like. Knowing that the Linksys E4200v2 does not support any alternative firmware such as Tomato and DD-WRT at this time (to...

    Linksys E4200v2 and Tomato firmware

    The fact that the Linksys E4200v2 uses a Marvell chipset, puts a bit of a dampener on this post regrading Tomato and or other alternative firmware. Tomato firmware is not supported on this chipset at this time.

    Linksys E4200v2 and Tomato firmware

    Cool! How is your Linksys E4200v2 performing? The E4200V2 has a Marvell 88W8366/88W8063 wireless chipset as indicated by the E4200 wiki. That's not going to fly with Tomato firmware then. Not sure if there is any alternative firmware around for the Linksys E4200v2. Given I have OpenVPN and...
