kickass audio Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I have had 0 problems with my router. I really think it will work great for you and not give you any problems. The administrative features of it are amazing as well as the speeds since both the Lan and WAN are 1gbps ports.

Redremedy Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Have you ever tried to upgrade the firmware on that D-Link? Have that same router, never had it disconnect me. Streaming Netflix on the Wii and/or the PS3(don't game online with the PS3), two phones, one desktop, and two laptops on wireless. Gaming desktop wired(but don't play much anymore), but somebody is always online. I try to reset once a month but it does go longer from time to time. That Asus router does look pretty sick though.

8ight Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Steve, your issue is bandwidth on your wireless network. None of those "black boxes" you can buy at Best Buy will really cut it alone, you need your router directly connected to a gigabit switch with enough wireless access points connected to that switch to cover the area you are looking to. You can eliminate the need to run more than one wire to any wireless access point by purchasing a PoE enabled switch and PoE enabled access points. Have a networking guy you trust do the job, you won't regret doing it right. Quote I'm gonna hate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have enough wifi devices hooked up at one time that i probably could fry an egg if i put it in the right spot in the house LOL. 1 Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel!

kickass audio Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 It was not his network, it was a hardware problem with the old router/ap. I have taken CCNA 1-4 2 times back to back (no cert as of yet, still have some commands to memorize and am teaching myself some faster ways to subnet) and his problem is not network bandwidth. If that was the case it would just be lagging not dropping devices off in mid air and then making it so he reboots the devices it will re-authenticate and keep the connection up for a little while before it becomes bogged down from all that traffic and runs out of memory and kicks off devices again. Trust me i had the exact same problem with my home router twice before i upgraded to a firmware that was smaller in size and allowed me to kick up the clock rate of the router as well as increase the memory on the router to handle more traffic streams. My new one has one badass processor and memory layout on it and barely gets warm and i have a good amount of traffic that goes in and out of the router. I like that i can get the DDWRT firmware for it right out of the box and perform CLI configurations. Since i have taken CCNA i prefer command driven device programming to get my desired results. I think its more fun to setup that way. and n8, i also have not had the best of luck with d-link. Whether it was for wireless adapters, ap's or anything else they always seem to fail too fast and their quality in my opinion is poor.
