I need a Wi-Fi access point, I don’t understand at all at access points, and even more so on the Internet.
Now there is a D-link DIR-300, Internet 2 Mbit / s. Everything suits, for almost 2 years I have never even remembered about him.
Now from the first day the Internet will be 36 Mbit / s. Everything would be fine, but they told me that my router would not give such speed.
Well, firstly, is it true?
And secondly, what then buy a router? It is necessary that the same as with dir. Set up and forget, no flashing. Only stable operation and speed of 36 Mbit / s. Well, respectively, not expensive. While looking only at D-link DIR-615.

Alex93,
I bought Netgear WNR3500L for myself, I have 30 Mbit / s + IPTV internet, it copes well ...
Still it is possible to consider Linksys WRT160NL ...



Rep: (241)
Alex93,
who said that? 300 even 150 Mbit on an optical fiber pulls out. Well, not complete 150: blush:

They are almost identical on boards. That's only at 615, the signal for the wafer is stronger and that's all.



Rep: (910)
Nemezis-87,
Well, not complete, well, it does not pull out, and if two computers with a torrent, and a couple of devices on the wafer ... have already been swimming ...



Rep: (163)
Thank.
Nemezis-87 @ 03/15/2011, 20:11*
who said that?

Local Internet provider, even tsiferki resulted. My like 12 Mbit / s can give, and 615th to 68 Mbit / s, although there were doubts that they understand more than mine.

The scheme of use will be such. The main computer with torrents, downloads and all the rest. The laptop, which is basically just climbing on the Internet, YouTube, small downloads of megs of 10. 3-4 units of mobile equipment in the form of smart phones / players.



Rep: (241)
Alex93,
Download speed on 100 Mbps line, maximum 12 Mbps, and not higher than 11. So, it will pull out 100 Mbits.
My Cisco WRT 615N pulls out 2 desktops and one netbook, + 4KPK and does not choke.

Linksys WRT160NL ..

In general, really, or NETGEAR or Linksys. Original Cisco from 1000 green, bite: D



Rep: (170)
I ask for help in choosing between 2 devices.
I decided to replace my D-Link DIR-300. Eye on the D-Link DIR-825 and Asus RT-N16. I also considered a variant in the form of the DIR-855 (it is TOO expensive, I lose my speechlessness)), DIR-655 (relatively weak iron and little memory, but it is quite cheap).

What do you like about D-Link:
Support 5 GHz with simultaneous operation from 2.4 GHz (and I need it in order to get rid of interference).
A more powerful Atheros 680 MHz processor (Asus has a Broadcomm 480 MHz) - theoretically, the traffic performance margin is more ...
“Familiarity” with D-Link in general (there was a DWL-G700AP, DIR-300 - Asus never happened)
Cheaper (3800r., While Asus costs 4900r.)!

What do you like about Asus:
The power of the transmitter is 19.5dBM and 3 antennas (for D-Link 17dBM and 2 antennas) - in theory, the coverage area should be wider!
2 USB (important enough)
RAM / flash lot (128Mb / 32Mb)

I am interested in the opinions of people who dealt with such routers. Glitches, non-glitches, performance, ease of configuration, functionality.Work with pppoe is very important..

Good morning everyone!
I have an internet connection via internet cable. There are many wi fi devices (PDA, netbook, xbox). Speed ​​3mb / s. I would like a router without a big speed cut. At the moment I have a d-link DIR-320 but something like that is slow, and I was steaming with the setting.



Rep: (1118)
Dedokrus,
You're so vain about the DIR-320, at the moment it's probably the best router D-Link has released. And the best-selling router, has a lot of firmware for any use cases, is reliable. It is inferior only Asus WL-500gp Premium.
So if you search, then look for the Asus WL-500gp Premium V2. It is possible and V1 the difference is not great.
About the differenceV1 and V2 read here

And what is the most optimal firmware for it? and how to reduce speed cuts

Well, for starters, you should upgrade to the latest official firmware.http://www.dlink.ru/ru/products/5/786.html
If everything is also not to arrange, then it is worth digginghereandherethere are a bunch of firmware specialists.

PS And how do you determine that it cuts the speed?



Rep: (85)
measured speed. No load on direct connection and through the router



Rep: (1118)
Dedokrus,
Firmware updated?



Rep: (85)
what about



Rep: (1118)
Dedokrus @ 04/04/2011, 06:13*
what about

Well then you have two options:
1. Play around with tweaking your DIR-320. Does not help, see point 2: D
2. Asus WL-500gp Premium V2. Better him, only he himself.

PS And how much does your DIR-320 reduce speed?
If less than 10% so you can not bathe. Any redundant device will make small adjustments to the transfer rate.
He also needs time to process the signal, etc.



Rep: (85)
more than 10%



Rep: (1118)
Dedokrus @ 04/04/2011, 18:52*
more than 10%

then option number 2



Rep: (1)
Dedokrus,
Buy zyxel kinetic, for your money an excellent choice, a good combination and a wide selection out of the box. I was pleased with it when I tested it, although dir-320 is at home



Rep: (7)
Dedokrus,
Do not even think about itbuy trendnet tew 432, even if it will be sent as a router recommended by the provider (he bought it himself, although it was for dir 320). This is a complete UG.



Rep: (745)

By the way, yes. Another option is to buy linksys 160NL from the same price category.
Unfortunately, all the Dlink that I saw, almost die on a set of Wi-Fi TCP connections. About WPA2-PSK with AES, I generally keep quiet.
