Problem solved Apparently, my laptop was not even configured for a local area network. I ran Windows "Diagnose Problem" and it managed to fix itself and I now have Internet. However, I did not do this while going thru the switch; I just used the cat6 cable DIRECT to the laptop to ensure that...

Problem solved For some reason, my laptop was not configured to accept a wired connection...

Hi... I am unable to get Internet thru my newly installed unmanaged gigabit switch (TP-Link TL-SG1005). Previously... I had a Bell 2-Wire 2701 modem/wireless router supplying the Internet. I had an Asus RT-N66U as my gigabit wireless router hardwired to the Bell modem. I disabled the...

I have a similar question Perhaps you can help me out. Here is my problem… I have a Bell 2-Wire 2701 modem/router supplying my Internet. I added an Asus RT-N66U gigabit router and disabled the Bell router and wireless portions. I have no problem whatsoever connecting to the Internet...

One gentleman posts the fact that the RT-N56U does not have enough memory to support guest networks. Then how come Padavan's version is able to support guest networks, and on both bands? What did Padavan have to leave out in order to incorporate this? Am I missing something here?

Is there a difference of throughput speed through ALL 10/100/1000 router's Ethernet ports? I am under the assumption that ALL Gigabit routers could push the signal at the same relative speed. My ISP provides me with a measly 12Mbps, so I don't really need a Gigabit router to access the...

And if Internet speed is the limiting factor, what is the point in getting all these fancy-dancy super routers if we are only getting 75 Mbps max (Rogers), 175 Mbps (Bell - only costing a kidney and 1/2 a pancreas per month), and 28 Mbps (Acanac, TekSavvy), from our service providers? I must...

Thanks, Tim. You have clarified that Ethernet or Powerline is better than normal wireless. Although this is definitely overkill for my needs (and not part of my plans), would a new WiFi standard router (802.11ac) and a matching 802.11ac wireless bridge (to connect to my Ethernet devices)...

My first post is probably going to be deemed newbie as it probably is…but you gotta start somewhere, right? And yes, I have read the thread “How To Choose the Right Wireless LAN for You” and have looked at the wireless charts, although it was meaningless dribble for my poor brain. I assume...
