Howdy, I'm a big dummy when it comes to networking stuff and it's pretty much just magic to me how things happen. I have a WRT160NL router and I'm getting 50 mbs when my computers are hooked up to the network and around 100 when one is directly connected to the modem. I understand that there is going to be a performance jump when it's directly connected but is there a way to increase performance over the network? Like can I get a better router or am I'm getting decreased performance because other computers ar eon the network even if they're off. Sorry, I'm a dummy when it comes to this stuff and I don't want to buy a new router if it's not going to help at all.

I only saw like two cat 5 ports on the back, so I'm going to need a switch if I have five wired connections needed? Is that going to mess with any performance? Basically, I've got three/four computers using cables and a Xbox one to hook up to the network. Texibus fucked around with this message at 20:23 on Jul 24, 2014 |

Yup, that's what the speed tests say.

What is the recommended wireless router for a medium sized home these days? Lots of devices connecting wireless to it and about 4 hardwired.

Moved into an a new area and have fiber to the house for the first time, and I don't really want to pay Centurylink for their wireless router(which I don't think is very good). From my research it appears I need a router that does PPPOE Auth and 201 tagging in order to dump the one they supplied to me. Seems like I need one of the Edgerouter models and an Access point? What are my options, don't really want to spend more than 200 bucks.

Anyone with AT&T fiber able to use your own router directly from the ONT box? It looks like unlike other fiber services AT&T has loaded security certificates or something on to their gateway/router which basically forces you to use that box to get on their network. Appreciate the advice, just settling a bet with a friend. Basically, do you need to use AT&T equipment outside of the ONT to get on their fiber network?

But it just has to do with the firmware loaded on to the modem/router combo, correct? Like typically with a fiber network you can just run ethernet from the ONT to a router to get signal to the home.

How difficult would it be to replace the C3000z Router/Modem from CenturyLink with something better/safer? We have a fiber connection with them. We have a small house 800 sq ft, but we use wifi, no real budget. Thanks!

H2SO4 posted:What are your current pain points? With a small area and straightforward requirements you're likely gonna be in "if it ain't broke don't fix it" territory. Well, It is giving a weak wifi signal to the front of the house causing streaming issues. Also, sort of not stoked paying a 120 bucks a year for a piece of hardware i could own.
