Find the best modem / router configuration.

Be 'stuck' with wimpy CenturyLink DSL service (read 4 Mbps), I try to get every ounce of speed that I can with my configuration of a Wi - Fi. The material in question is a Technicolor C1100T modem/router/WiFi and a current model Apple AirPort Extreme.

The question is, whose Setup is faster:

[A] C1100T in Bridge Mode (i.e. modem only) > AirPort Extreme all the PPPoE router / WiFi work, or

[B] C1100T modem handling / PPPoE - router work > AirPort Extreme in Bridge Mode, just do a Wi - Fi connection?

The C1100T goes only up to speed "n" where the Airport manages 'ac '. So my thought is the configuration 'B' may have an advantage. I thought I would ask the collective wisdom of the community of Apple before playing with all the related parameters. Speaking of which, overall the Apple hardware, the PPPoE "Account name" is always shown as formatting as an email (e.g. [email protected]) address. In the C1100T admin settings, the PPP username (PPPoE) is in the format ABC123456789. Formats in the case of AirPort Utility parameters (i.e. it will accept Qwest format)?

As long as we talk about press speed, are there any other tricks, for example by selecting the best channels 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (assuming that one is faster than the other)? Literally, living in the Woods, there is no one else around with any related Wi - Fi signal to interfere.

As always, thanks for the help!

The question is, whose Setup is faster:

[A] C1100T in Bridge Mode (i.e. modem only) > AirPort Extreme all the PPPoE router / WiFi work, or

[B] C1100T modem handling / PPPoE - router work > AirPort Extreme in Bridge Mode, just do a Wi - Fi connection?

Not trying to be cute here, but if the products work correctly, the results will be the same.

However... speed could be one thing and another reliability.  Setting PPPoE Apple are old and is not known for their reliability.  As you know, in theory, you want the device that provides identification of connection information to connect directly to the Internet service.  This would mean that have C1100T PPPoE c would probably be a better way to do things, reliability wise.

The C1100T goes only up to speed "n" where the Airport manages 'ac '. So my thought is the installation of 'B' may have an advantage

Not in terms of connection to the Internet.  If you are thinking about speed on your local network, the airport would be the way to go. Just ignore the C1100T, or turn off the wireless feature if you feel that it can interfere with wireless the wireless AirPort.

No, but I would not use PPPoE over airport.  If you have tons of time and be ready to experiment and put up with connections, more broken then you could try PPPoE on the airport.

As long as we talk about press speed, are there any other tricks, for example by selecting the best channels 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (assuming that one is faster than the other)?

N ° the most convenient airport at startup, it automatically scans to select a channel that meets the criteria set by Apple engineers. As soon as it finds one, he chooses.

If someone really knew what could be the real criteria you had tons of time on your hands, in theory, it may be possible to guess and select a channel as good as who will pick up the airport.

  • ESXI hosts 5-2 and the best way to configure vSwitch and Nic redundancy

    Hi all

    Could someone help me find the best way to configure the vNetwork on 2 5 ESXI host for redundancy.  Once I managed to correctly configure the 2 hosts I will seek to use the same installation process for 6 guests.  3 sites with 2 hosts on each site managed all of vCentre Server

    I have 2 DL380 G7 servers 5 ESXI installed on a class 10, 8 GB SD card, I'm looking to install VSA on the 2 hosts on each server with 4 TB of internal storage (8 * 600 GB 10 k SAS).  Each server has a gigabit integrated 4-port NIC and I installed a 2nd NIC gigabit PCIe 4 ports, I also x 2 16 switches of port with Layer 3 routing.  I use vSphere 5 Standard acceleration Kit I am looking to use vCentre server for managing, vMotion for maintenance, HA for the failover and VM 10/15 (vCentre Server Std, DB SQL to vCentre Server, Exchange 2010, SQL Server 2008 R2, IIS Intranet, Helpdesk, 1 DC, 2 Domain Controller, AV Server, WSUS, SCCM Server, and Terminal Server server).

    What would be the best way to install and configure the network for performance and redundancy and am I missing something?

    My thoughts are, Teaming: -.

    vCenter - vswitch0 - port1 on NIC1 and port1 on NIC 2 - port1 on NIC1 to physical switch 1 - port1 on NIC2 to physical switch 2

    vMotion - vswitch1 - port2 on NIC1 and port2on NIC 2 - port2 on NIC1 to physical switch 1 - port2 on NIC2 to physical switch 2

    VM - vswitch4 - port4 on NIC1 and port4on NIC 2 - port4 on NIC1 to physical switch 1 - port4 on NIC2 to physical switch 2

    or do I need an additional NIC on each server to hit the VM 12-6 VM for 2 ports on 2 NETWORK interface card, or maybe something else I missed?

    Thank you

    In your case, to keep it simple and what I can say here is what would be my recommendation:

    3 standard vSwitches

    vSwitch0:

    • Management - vmnic0, vmnic2

    vSwitch1:

    • vMotion - vmnic1, vmnic3

    vSwitch2:

    • VM network - vmnic4, vmnic5, vmnic6, vmnic7

    The only reason why that I didn't split the VM in other network adapters shipped is because the difference in the types of the DL380 adapter shipped and the PCIe quad.

  • Cannot connect remotely via VPN since installing the new modem/router

    Can anyone help please. Since the acquisition of a new router / modem I can no longer connect via VPN to my work PC remotely. It comes in I receive the error message. Can someone tell me if I need to change the settings for the new modem / router to access?

    Hello Joanna,

    Here are the steps you need to do first:

    1. Off static IP for my server and let the router assign IP address and changed the IP address of the port forward.
    2. Check the IP address because obviously, that changed when you plugged into the router again.
    3. Updated to the latest firmware for the router and NIC.

    For more detailed troubleshooting you can refer to this link: troubleshooting common VPN related errors.

  • HP Deskjet 2542: Cannot print wireless Deskjet 2542 after installing the new modem/router

    We have recently installed a new Netgear modem/router and have not been able to print wireless since installation. I tried everything I could find on the forum and still no luck. Any help will be appreciated.

    Replacement/change your wireless router, try here.

    http://www.HP.com/global/au/en/wireless/reconfiguring-system-Help3.html

    Make sure that your router is set to a fixed channel wireless as the 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto '.  Try each of the channels one at a time.  Make sure they are spaced at least 5 feet.

    However, if you have a gateway device (modem + router), all gateway devices are terrible for connectivity and wireless performance.   If this does not work, suggest you put this bridge in full bridge mode device and install your own router of high quality that YOU have full control over.

  • What is the best way to configure the Cisco IOS password?

    I'm under 15.2 (4) IOS on a router in 1921

    What is the best way to set up the password of the router?  I already tried once and managed to block me on another switch.  I would use the most secure method that encrypts the password.

    Current config:

    username admin privilege 15 password 0 cisco123

    Hey Kevin,

    Use the secret keyword instead of the password for the password more secure and encrypted.

    The syntax that you are using will display the password in clear text.

    R1 (config) #username, 0 privilege 15 password test
    R1 (config) #exi
    R1 #sh runn
    * 00:00:25.523 Mar 1: % SYS-5-CONFIG_I: configured from console by console
    R1 #sh runn | in test
    username password 0 privilege 15 test
    R1 #.

    If you use the keyword secret then it will get encrypted.

    R1 #sh runn | in test1

    Also if there is no driver for your Win8 then you won't be able to use it. Also more recent laptops Win8 one is no longer a Modem port anymore. So unless your USB modem factory has Win8 drivers for this USB Modem, you won't be able to use it.

  • Try to find the best PC for a Mac Power PC

    My father has a Mac with OS 10.4.11.  It is a 800 MHz Power PC G4 with 768 MB of SDRAM memory.  Its latest version of the Flash Player is barely (video out image unique all few seconds) if we want to update so that he can watch You Tube and others.   We went to the page to install a new version that would work with OS 10.4 and received an error message saying that the FP version can not be installed as Power PC are no longer supported.

    I then found what seems to be the right version: 10.1.102.64.   But when I tried to download it, it gave me a complete file of icons with weird tags - .qz, .bz2, .zip, .exe, I do not understand.

    Can someone lead us in the right direction?  We use our Safari browser (version 4.0.4 - old kinda, I think - could have something to do with it?).  We are simply the best version of the PC that will work with this set - up.  If 10.1.102.64 is the best, how to operate once I press 'download '?  Thank you.

    You must use the one that has 'mac' in the name and a .dmg extension.
