    New Dlink router experience or reviews

    Yes, simultanious is expensive and that's why it's cheaper to repurpose a router than to look for an AP with the capability. I can get another DIR-827 for $80 on sale which is simultanious dual band. And yes, I have a couple clients which take advantage of 5GHz or getting a single band AP...

    New Dlink router experience or reviews

    Hey Steve, True, but my problem is I haven't found a $50 WiFi router or home grade AP that offers as good dual band transfer rates or signal range. There are APs I can get, but none are simultaneous dual band .. or they are but they're commercial grade and $300. And for $50, I don't mind...

    New Dlink router experience or reviews

    Hey, I was going to pick up another Dlink DIR-827 on sale and turn it into an AP, with the help of the guide on this site, but I saw a lot of new routers with product codes DIR-8xxL and all having the weird can shape. No one has posted their experience with them yet nor are there many...

    Issue with Dlink DIR-827

    Hey Runun - Great link, hopes this helps others having issues with their router. I do have an update of my own though. We switched all of our office equipment with Netgear's ProSecure line, including the UTM50. It was substantially more and the home grade stuff, but we're looking at it as...

    Issue with Dlink DIR-827

    So it's been just over a week since I turned traffic shaping off and things have improved, but there are still some issues. The 827 still reboots about once a day which is better than every hour it was before. The longest up time I've seen during the work week was 1day, 23hours. As I posted...

    Issue with Dlink DIR-827

    So I have a correction to make. I reported that turning the QoS off didn't stop the rebooting issue. Looking back at the settings in my router I did turn "Enable QoS Engine" off; however, I forgot to turn "Enable Traffic Shaping" off. It's been up for over an hour now without issue, but I'll...

    Issue with Dlink DIR-827

    Alright, I missed the three-stream N and you're right, we don't need it. I'll look into getting the 3800 so things are stable for now, but I'm exploring the UTM options more. Thanks.

    Proper Small Business Setup

    I've looked a few UTM appliance from Netgear, Cisco, SonicWall, and Watchguard and I have a question about throughput. The Sonicwall NSA 240, for example, lists its Stateful Throughput as 600Mbps but has the the throughput of the security features at lower rates. It has a listed throughput of...

    Proper Small Business Setup

    So I've read the articles on building a UTM (and building an IDS) and have a better idea of the extra security features they provide. Actually building one though would take up too much time right now and my boss doesn't think it would be as reliable as an off the shelf product. In my other...

    Issue with Dlink DIR-827

    I'll look into the WNDR3800, but what about the 4500, or is that too new as well? They don't seem to sell the Linksys E4200 V2 in Canada, just the original. Same for the Asus RT-N66u, just the 56u. For the RouterBoard products, they list different byte frame sizes and corresponding...

    Issue with Dlink DIR-827

    Turning off the QoS hasn't stopped the rebooting. And the 827 has the latest firmware (1.01), but as you mentioned Tim, that doesn't say a lot as it is a new product so the probability of a bug is high. I'm reading the articles on building a UTM as it was suggested I use from my other post...

    Issue with Dlink DIR-827

    If it helps any, here is the message I'm getting from the logs when it reboots: [ 95.749255] module arch cleanup sch_ubicom_streamengine: OCM instruction memory free of 0 @(null) Most forums related to that message deal with the DIR-655 and most people say that it's caused by poor hardware...

    Proper Small Business Setup

    Thanks Stonecat. I actually do have all the equipment connected to an APC rack mounted UPS and things were pretty stable for two years while using the DIR-825 until a firmware update bricked it. I've started reading the SMB article on Building a UTM so I have an idea of what's involved...

    Proper Small Business Setup

    Hi, I'm looking for suggestions and comments on what sort of network equipment I should have for my business because our current setup has some issues, mainly router issues. First I'll let you know what we have. The building is 10000 sq ft. with half of that as one open production area...

    Issue with Dlink DIR-827

    Hi, (TLDR: 827 keeps rebooting/dropping internet connection.) Our office wireless/wired network has been running through a Dlink DIR-825 (B1) for almost 2 years without any real issues. However, because a certain coworker was having wireless issues with her Macbook (I hate Apple just...
