Need a recommendation for a second firewall router

I have currently a second router connected to the LAN port of the #1 router/WiFi in order to create a firewall between the Local area network of my #1 WiFi router and a PC which is connected by a cable Cat5 to the second router. This second router has no need of WiFi and only needs to support a PC, to call the parent PC.  For proof of concept that I used an old router, GigaFast EE400 - R 10/100 Mbit / s, it works but I think it slows my PC parent.

So, I would like to replace this old second router with something reasonable that is not slow things down, but provides a firewall between LAN and the parent PC.

I thought maybe around $100 - maybe more if necessary.

It is not uncommon to see that the ISP supplied routers do not have the ability to assign static to the WAN interface, they only allow DHCP.

What can be useful, it is if you can configure the DHCP server to assign customer-specific DNS servers, so that the DNS relay router is not used. Unfortunately, even once provided ISP routers are often locked, and you cannot make these settings.

Yes, you can configure your computer to go to an external DNS instead of use the router of the client, it is sometimes quite effective, but the main thing is to get rid of the relay using a scenario of relay that you had as I've found it can be very slow.

I only suggested Google like her I know by default. Speed DNS depends a lot on the network to which you are attached. It of a bit technical, but reference RCMP DNS will tell you this that the DNS the fastest that YOU can connect to. I know that BT router DNS servers are slow, but the BT DNS network is the fastest available for me.

  • Recommendations for a second hard drive for my Inspiron 530 please

    Hello

    I have an Inspiron 530 standard.

    My main 320 HARD disk drive is approaching full and I want to add a second internal HDD.

    My intention was to use the new drive as a secondary drive just to store and edit photos.

    Can anyone recommend a compatible drive about 500 GB in size I can use.

    Can you tell me if there a SATA drive that I need, recommended speed (RPM) and I'll need to get all the connectors etc.

    Thanks in advance for your help and advice

    Assuming you have the Inspiron 530 mini tour and not Slimline 530 s version.

    You can install any SATA 3.5 "internal hard drive 7200 RPM up to 2 TB without problem.

    Discover the brands Seagate and Western Digital, also check the length of the manufacturer's warranty, unfortunately hard drives prices are extremely high, due to the flooding of the Thailand, readers, I bought last September for $40 with a promo, now costs $108.

    Instructions for the installation of a second hard drive physically in a 530 are here.

    You will need a SATA data cable, there should be a spare connector to SATA power inside the housing.

    After you have installed the drive, enter the system setup and make sure the hard drive is "on" [We] and recognized.  The system configuration.

    For windows to recognize the second hard drive, it must be partitioned and formatted. Go to control panel, administrative tools, computer management, storage, disk management, right click on the new drive, select format, then you can assign a drive letter.

I have all the data backed up elsewhere and ready DVD restore disc.

    Here are the specs of the drive:

    Based on the laptop HP ENVY 14 - Maintenance Service Guide, it seems that your computer supports the following readers and more.

    6.35 cm (2.5 in) hard drives (HD) and the SSDS (SSD), 9.5 mm (. 37-in) and thicknesses of 7.0 mm (. 28 - in)
    Customer-accessible
    Serial ATA
    Supports the following hard disk configurations:
    ● 750 GB (7200 RPM)
    ● 640 GB (7200 RPM)
    ● 500 GB (7200 RPM)
    ● 320 GB (7200 RPM)

    Supports the following simple SSD drive configurations:
    ● 128 GB mSATA,
    ● 80 GB, mSATA
    ● 160 GB, SATA

    According to the above information, any hard disk 2.5 "SATA or SSD of 9.5 mm and 7.0 mm profile should work fine. This includes the newer readers who are more capacious.

  • Recommendations for the second monitor (27 in.)

    Hi - We are through to PC iMac27 some of our offices.  Currently, most of our Dell ups have double monitors because we usually inventory or manufacturing software open on one monitor and email on another.  Or their variants.

    I noticed he had discussions in the past, but nothing too recent, and I guess that this kind of things always evolving.  Google searches to discuss some, but:

    can anyone suggest a decent price monitor (under $ 400) that I can match up with the iMac 27 "?

    I am particularly looking for those who have white or brushed aluminium chassis - or at least a 'mac' look like.

    Mac Thunderbolt screens seem great, but $ 1,000 each, they are off-budget.

    Thanks for the suggestions!

    They are also be abandoned once the current stock is depleted.

    Much will depend on the resolution and the size of the screen, but there is none

    specific "Mac-like" monitors.  The best is to check which providers

    propose and see what is acceptable to you.

  • I want to know what I need to look at when buying a router for 50 concurrent users, 1 server connection information

    Original title: router Question.

    Hi all

    not sure if this is the right place to post but I was looking for some information about routers. specifically, I want to know what I need to look at when buying a router for 50 concurrent users, 1 server connection information. specifications, etc.

    Thanks :)

    Some routers will define a limited number of simultaneous connections. Domestic routers rarely do because the assumption is that the environment will not include such a high number.

    Ideally in a commercial environment you would separate on the hardware connection since the hardware firewall. It depends on the type of connection (ADSL?).

  • Need a recommendation of the video card for CS4

    My old Radeon x 1950 is not up to the task when it comes to Windows 7 and Premiere Pro (it works fine on Vista, but I'm going to 7), so I need a replacement. I not looking for more late-and-most great... in fact, a map of the previous generation would be fine. My HP xw6400 workstation is a few years old, but has a lot of life left in it for my application, so I just need to update that element.

    I'll probably get on eBay for an old or inexpensive card of the current generation, preferably around $100. He just needs to me until I can fully update (read: replace) my current workstation. Any recommendations for the CS4 and W7 x 64?

    I would have a look at an ATI HD4670 or a HD5450. Both are well meet your needs and are an attractive price tag, until you decide to upgrade to a new MEPS supported card.

  • Recommendations for the 2nd guest card, ESXi 4.1?

    I use ESXi4 in a House on a low-cost Dell image headless server. I would like to add a second network card PCI host - maybe an Intel PRO/100 and PRO/1000 off eBay - which is supported on ESXi 4.0 and 4.1.  My PCI adapter only supports 32-bit cards.

    Performance is not a serious problem, but I would like to find an adapter for under $ 25. I'll use this to experiment with different firewall, routing, and VPN between the WAN configurations (for example: DSL) and LAN.  It's more convenient and more 'green' to keep all my virtual machines guests on a single box, but references the list of cards supported against froogle and Bay takes more time than I expected.

    recommendations, pointers, and personal experience would be appreciated...

    I think the most common whitebox NIC's Pro 1000 GT.  ESX(I) dropped 100 MBps NIC support so I would avoid this option even if there is a community update driver Pro/100.

  • After the death of firewall router in an outtage power yesterday I replaced my router have restored internet access, but none of my corporate office offices can access our network printer/scanner.

    yerterday morning, that we had a power outage at my place of business. When power has been restored we can't access internet from any one of our desktop computers. After working with a material MFG co troubleshotter. our firewall router NETGEAR, it has been determined that the equipment was defective. They offered to replace the camera for only the shipping charges, I felt an acceptable solution. Then I was told that with bureaucracy, it would take two weeks to get the new unit. Well, my choice was then to set for two weeks and slowly go out of business or buying a new router. I have relpaced the unit with another mod. Netgear router and this quickly got back up again, at least if we could access our system of internal accounting and the internet. My problem is as it is now that I can't access our office network printer.scanner (kyoceraMita) of any one of my desktops. At this point, I'd appreciate any help. I own my business, but am not a computer guy of any measurment known to man. I have this idea, maybe it's a simple software for all fit everyone access to what they need, but I don't know what it is maybe. If sufficient information, in my view, that I could probably fix the problem myself without providing any benefits of outdoor programming.

    The problem now is that the router has changed, the addresses IP, subnet mask, default gateway address, network security wireless network wireless security password and other settings no longer correspond to the original router.  As you said that the SCP can all see each other, you need to see Kyocera and network user's guide 'unit' in order to find the IP address, subnet mask and other network setting the configuration parameters 'method '.
