I'm currently using a Arris SB8200 modem and a Arris surfboard AC3200P router. I loving hate it, while the wired networks generally works as intended and can sometimes run up to at at least 1/2 gig speeds (I pay for 1 gig, but you know, that's probably the cable company loving me, not the modem or router), the wireless is super buggy and when I tried to make a Pihole I found the router was so locked down that I couldn't do goddamn anything with it, you can't even set a custom DNS with it. Should I ahead and buy the Archer in the op, or is there some hack I can use to get around the firmware and have more customizable settings? I'm okay with taking some risks here. E: Basically, some way to make it capable of being less locked down or alternatively suggest a router that is reliable and will at least allow me to use custom DNS and maybe other stuff like VPN capable routers. Ideally one capable/already based on an open source firmware/software. Butter Activities fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Dec 18, 2020 |

Cyks posted:The OP was last updated 2 and a half years ago and there's definitely better options by now but I just want to note that only getting 500 down on a speed test when you pay for 1gig on a wired connection is not normal and you should probably work to resolve that first. Do a speed test with your PC connected directly to the modem bypassing the router and see what you get. I ran it on a pi connected to the network, I have cox so I figured it is what it is at this point. I already called and complained to no avail.

astral posted:Depending on the model, your pi is likely limited on bandwidth because of the way the buses are set up, so you probably don't need to worry about your wired speeds - they should approach 1Gbit with an actually-capable client device. I live in a tiny box that’s almost a studio so I’m good on that front. Anything slightly cheaper?

So the thread is right, the limit was my pi, not my router. Runs at 850 down and 50 up on a high end computer. That being said I still hate the router because of the wireless unreliability and the LAN DNS being locked. Any under 100 recommendations?

I've only had the ER-X for about a year, no real problems with it beyond my ignorance of raw config file editing. I'll give it a shot. Is ER-X the consensus router then? I’m still unclear on what the consensus router for most users is.

thiazi posted:ER-X is great for a home if you are a bit techy and have the other infrastructure in place, but it is just a router (and depending on model, a 3 or 4 port switch). Most consumers' idea of a "router" includes a switch and wireless AP, so if you are expecting a single do-everything box then the ER-X is not the right thing for you, and you should look at consumer offerings from tplink, Asus, Netgear, etc. I haven't used those products in recent years so don't know what to recommend. Nope, that’s perfect. I like all my components separated out. I already own a modem and switch so I would need a wap.

So I guess ER-X is the ticket- I want to run a pi web server as well I assume it can do that safely. So I guess my last question is what is the recommended WAP for the ER-x? I live in a very densely populated area and a very small apartment so I don’t need a ton of range but interference may be a concern.

Unless your have like a 2k+ computer I think any surge protector you would find in a store would rated for more enough joules where the likelihood of it cooking your computer is basically nil. I mean you can find ones with tons of sockets rated for 3k joules for 30 bucks if that which my understanding is overkill.

Can the edge router support making a vlan where I can put a web server. Ideally 3 vlans, one for iot trash, one for servers and one for home computers.

Djimi posted:Do you mean "an edge router" - the generic term of an edge router, or the Edge Router series from Ubiquiti - the answer is yes to both. I have over 60 Edge Router-X's handling 4 VLANs (different VLAN) for each port, and then the eth0 uplink has them tagged back to the core. This is a hotel deployment. I thought edge router was a product name. Guess that shows what I know. Can one box run multiple vlans?

I tried following the edge routers manual but it skips important steps (like disabling manual ip on your machine when you change ports) and spent an hour spinning my wheels until I found this dude https://youtu.be/aECPxlT6Qq4 Worked first time
