not sure, if ur e4200 WAN port connect to ur pc lan port can get 1gbps then probably zhone is sensitive detecting the cable. happen to mine before.

i am connecting my desktop to LAN port of E4200 and E4200 WAN port to zhone port 1.

one question, so if i change router next time do i need to clone mac address again?

sorry, wat i meant is test connect the e4200 wan port to ur pc lan port and see if is the link speed is at 1gbps.

yes, this will be ur WAN mac through out the time on VQ, or u can always email to VQ NOC to update, but will take some time for them to update. the 1st option is always faster

i am using my PC mac address for the E4200 mac clone, so u mean if i change motherboard i got to use back my old motherboard network mac address also...wow thats pretty troublesome

only if u are going back to direct pc to zhone, else not need to change motherboard mac address

but my situation now is i swap a router from asus to this linksys and it cannot work so is it becoz of dd-wrt firmware? default E4200 firmware from linksys should be plug and play right? I don't have to mess with the cloning of mac address right?

it can work, all u need is to set the WAN mac address, is like your key to the internet

sorry am confuse about your answer, i was just wondering if i bought any new router now, i can't just plug in and expect it to have internet? I need to do the extra step?

@toshiro_sg

Keep everything simple, use the zhone as router and set the rt-n66u/e4200 as ap. The zhone is a decent router, just not strong in wireless coverage.

Fully agreed. This is what I am going right now. Enjoying the best of both world.

 

[zer0ne]

Funny thing is that rt-n66u wan lan thruput is above 600mbps and he cant hit 300.... Dun tlell me he got a lemon set?

so i guess i need to ask VQ to change the zhone to router mode? disable the dhcp on the asus and configure it for just wifi only?

ur VQ ip is tied to the PC mac address
1. whenever u change a new router, clone the same mac address to ur new router WAN mac address
2. email to VQ NOC to update the new router WAN mac address

or if u can request to use zhone as router and any other router as AP, if u dun mind the limited function of zhone like dhcp for LAN

i still prefer asus as the router

Thanks edwin and guys for the help

usually 2mths if ur signature/thumbprint is ok, usually much faster if ur giro form is prevalidated by your bank.

u can go to their office to make payment also

Tat one not suitable for normal user...but funny that your rt-n66u has abt 700-800mbps wan lan thruoghput...how cone cannot go above 250mbps when zhone in bridge mode??

your config screwed up..

my n66 can go above 300. peak was 330..

disable firewall and QOS.

btw, check your cables too.. im on full cat 6

Hi Antons can give any info on what brand routers & firmwares you help troubleshoot ?
So ppl like me know which to buy

Sorry, but most of the time we get headaches with third party routers on high speed plans. So far for wired speed the Zhone beats all routers with 930+mbps WAN to LAN throughput, tested myself with speedtest.net and iperf.

ViewQwest, over at ViewQwest - Fibernet - Modem under the network management section, there is mention of traffic shaping. Can I confirm if you are now shaping traffic on your network?

No, we still do not do any shaping on our network at this time and hopefully will never need to. We mention it just in case we need to do it in the future if we get abusers affecting other customers(it would be done on case by case basis, never for the whole network).
