I need advice on a router - Page 2

LAN-LAN traffic can be handled by the inbuilt switch. How sophisticated and seperated the switch hardware from CPU is in a consumer router, is another matter. (If at all, depending on architecture... see the PDF I linked)

Yes, I was talking LAN-WAN/WAN-LAN traffic. Straight LAN-LAN traffic is handled by the switch and doesn't really touch the router's CPU.

Again, assuming a modern, well designed router. Although you'd likely have to be using some seriously old or seriously cheap hardware for the switch to be THAT tied in with the CPU

I have a Linksys 320N that I bought refurb for $45 running DD-WRT. I have 2 8port Gb switches on it with about 12 hard wired computers/devices and 6-7 wireless on it at any given time. Handles everything fine.

DD-WRT also has very tunable QoS, so you can give priority to certain types of packets, or even just to certain machines on the network.

I used it to replace a DIR-655. The 655 did not like my Atrix wifi at all (constant router lockups), and for some reason capped my upload to 1.5Mb instead of the 5Mb I get now.

I'll never buy another router that doesn't support open firmwares.

Yes, LAN-LAN traffic does 100Mb/s fine because the hardware switch handled it. It is only WAN-LAN and LAN-WAN traffic that is limitted by the CPU.

Jetster · Jul 30, 2011, 06:28 AM

I have the same Router WRT54GL and switched from Tomato to DD-WRT and it has been running 24/7 without and issue for over a year now. Did you try DD-WRT?

Wow. And I thought I was over the top with 4 cpus, 3 other wired devices and 3 wireless devices. The geekiness is strong with this one.

I have one of the buffalo AirStation gigabit routers and I think it's quite good. You can go the easy set up route and once you learn more about it can get into things like QoS. They also have a solid reputation.

I was looking for more ways to compare routers and I found this:
Router charts

I ended up buying the RT-N16 over the DIR-655 (as a solution to my Scenario A) despite it having a lower WAN-LAN. The reasons are:
1) The DIR-655 has only 16MB RAM, which simply isn't enough for seven torrent happy students.
2) The WAN-LAN speed is still 4x faster than the WAN connection.

johnspack · Jul 30, 2011, 08:59 PM

I'm going to try dd-wrt. From research I've seen, I can just flash straight across?

BUCK NASTY · Jul 30, 2011, 09:21 PM

Try this:

johnspack · Jul 30, 2011, 09:26 PM

I flashed straight to dd-wrt, I'm running it right now! Very easy....
Edit: seems to be faster.. and you can oc the cpu with a mouse click! no telneting......

johnspack · Jul 30, 2011, 09:49 PM

Well, preliminary tests seem to indicate much decreased latency. I think dd-wrt is going to work for me!

Jetster · Jul 30, 2011, 10:03 PM

At least DD-WRT will let you know if its a hardware issue. But really that router is still a viable router at long as it in good health.

johnspack · Jul 30, 2011, 10:27 PM

Yes, I just gave it good test with my rise of flight sim, which is the one that was bitching the most about it, and no more latency issues. If fact network throughput almost seems faster through the router now! Wish I'd tried dd-wrt before now.

johnspack · Jul 30, 2011, 10:37 PM

Does anyone know if the newer beta is better, or safe? I'm running sp2 build 13064, is 14896 safe?
Edit: haven't tried beta yet, but this dd-wrt is seriously better than tomato. I highly recommend avoiding tomato
and going straight to dd-wrt!

LAN_deRf_HA · Jul 30, 2011, 10:58 PM

Interesting that DD-WRT is working better for you. I remember seeing an old benchmark showing tomato gave higher bandwidth.

johnspack · Jul 30, 2011, 11:01 PM

test:

much lower latency overall, much better throughput, much more stable. what can i say?
Edit: check the distance I used....
Love it! :

LAN_deRf_HA · Jul 30, 2011, 11:54 PM

I was surprised you had any issues at all with the GL, just noticed the tmobile version of the GL I have has twice the ram and flash. These variants are hard to keep track of.

might want to hide your ip?

johnspack · Jul 31, 2011, 01:39 AM

bah, i change it all the time anyways, and what would someone want with a personal isp from nelson bc canada in the middle of nowhere with nothing on it but a couple of folding boxes...

johnspack · Jul 31, 2011, 03:13 AM

Okay, no, doesn't fix it. Still have the latency issue. Oh well, guess I'll just have to buy a real router......

johnspack · Aug 1, 2011, 12:00 AM

I went off a bit quick there. Did some tweaks in dd-wrt, and spent a couple hours in my sim with zero issues. I should probably know better... Let's stay tuned for my continued results!

newtekie1 · Aug 1, 2011, 03:48 AM

If you are having latency issues, pingtest.net might be a better test to run than speedtest.net.

johnspack · Aug 1, 2011, 04:56 PM

Ouch, okay, I think I'm seeing a problem here....

Edit: and this adds more weirdness to the mix:

Could it just be my isp's gateway or something?

johnspack · Aug 1, 2011, 07:48 PM

Well, I think my old router was nice for years, but it's probably time for a newer, faster router. My router was never designed for upto 27mbps connection, which I've seen recently on my connection. Oh well, it was a nice try, and the router was cheap.. $39.
Edit: meaning I didn't own it for years, but it was popular for many years. Maybe RIP nice old router?

Edit: and this adds more weirdness to the mix: Could it just be my isp's gateway or something? __________________ Heatware: http://www.heatware.com/eval.php?id=73875 Clan !!

Canada Posts: 3,750 (1.80/day) Thanks: 283 Thanked 754 Times in 519 Posts System Specs	Well, I think my old router was nice for years, but it's probably time for a newer, faster router. My router was never designed for upto 27mbps connection, which I've seen recently on my connection. Oh well, it was a nice try, and the router was cheap.. $39. Edit: meaning I didn't own it for years, but it was popular for many years. Maybe RIP nice old router? __________________ Heatware: http://www.heatware.com/eval.php?id=73875 Clan !!
