    Need advice on Router

    So my router is just getting worse and worse, I have to reset it several times a day now. So, I'm going to go with the Linksys LRT224. Sure, it's Dual Wan but it's only $20 dollars more than the single wan version, which is worth it to future proof it a bit. Thanks!

    Need advice on Router

    I don't really know what I'll need in the future, the fact that I don't know what any of these services mean probably suggests that I don't use them now, so I'm not sure I need them at all. That said more services is better, just because I'm not using them now doesn't mean I'll need them...

    Need advice on Router

    I was looking at that version. 1 Wan, still very good speed (800 Mbs is way faster than I need), plus it has most of the software bells and whistle features and costs like $100 less. The only problem is that the user reviews are awful. Really pretty bad, the features and price are right but...

    Need advice on Router

    Looks good, but don't need the dual wan function though, if there was a cheaper option without it I would consider that. I wasn't seeing a lot of single wan wired only routers so maybe there aren't a lot of those left?

    Need advice on Router

    So I have a RSV4000 router we got about 5-6 years ago that has started to die, it needs to be re-set every 2-3 days which is fairly annoying. I'm looking for a cheap replacement if posable. It really only needs to be 1 port that feeds the switches for the entire office (probably about...

    Looking for a dual wan router with Gigibit

    Hmm, I do have a gigbit switch connected to the router. ...Any other ideas why I may not be getting gigbit speed. (also how do I test that?)

    Looking for a dual wan router with Gigibit

    I recently moved, and found that I wasn't getting the speeds I was used to on the LAN. I realized I forgot that the Router effects the speed of both the Wan and the LAN. (opps >_<) Anyway, I purchased a Linksys RV082, and a DSL 7 Mb line as well as a 1.5 T1. The RV082 is a 10/100 router...

    Speed Problems

    Problem solved, sort of... So I solved the problem, though I did it with a Sonic Wall NSA 240. That allowed me to set the port speed on both the Wan and the Lan ports. I set the Wan port (coming from the router) to 100 Mbps full duplex, and the Lan (going to our switches) to Gigabit speed...

    Speed Problems

    Would a duplex mis-match show up on http://netspeed.stanford.edu/ it says it can detect a mis-match, but and I've seen the error before but I'm not getting it currently. I'll go run that test now though. Thank you for helping me though this btw, it's been a very annoying few months with...

    Speed Problems

    Yeah, it won't let me set full or half duplex. I was trying to use a patch cable between the media converter and the dir-655, but that didn't seem to work. I just used put a switch (pretty sure it's a 10/100 switch, although it doesn't say so on the box, or have a model number) between the two...

    Speed Problems

    To answer your first question, yes, these tests have been run with at least 4 diffrent computers, either with my laptop pluged directly into a lan port of the router, or on other desktops behind the switches. We have a fiber line from Cogent Co. I drop the name as a warning to others. I...

    Speed Problems

    Sad Update Ok, so I bought a D-Link DIR-655, and hooked it up, but I'm still getting the same problems. I get very slow speed results, but I have a 100 Mb up/down connection. I only get 7 Mb/s down and 10 Mb/s up when I test my speed with speedtest. When I'm connect my laptop directly to...

    Speed Problems

    Hi, I'm a new member, and I think this website might have saved me months of trouble. Anyway, my office recently upgraded our internet connection to 100 mb fiber line from cogent. We can't seem to take advantage of most of that speed, and I think the reason why is that we have a RVS4000...
