what is the diff? Ultimately you will still need to power up at least 1 more device.

homeline is holding me back.. expensive router is holding me back. hub discount is hold me back.. i guess u cannot have the best of both world..

what i could not understand is that if i purchase a G5402SP it will work with 56u and N5402SP will not.

What is wrong with 3rd party firmware? Even Asus sg mentions they will gladly support an N56U on 3rd party firmware.

Your chances of getting voice to work is highest with the latest padavan firmware in an ONT>N56U>N5402SP config at the moment since the padavan firmware now has full VLAN/PRIO/Tagging capabilities.

Up to you to explore the relevant settings though.

Sorry peeps need advise here, jus gotten my 100 Mbps fiber, the router is in my living room but my pc is in my room, right now I using dlink USB to connect, when I open my door the speed is like 20, when I close my door it drop to 4 only.

Any advise how to get better connection? Should I call SH?

If I ask to roll cable to my room how much will it charge?

If possible, run cable, else get a good dual channel router so that you can utilized the 5Ghz channel.

My case similar as you, what I did : ONT > Dlink > TPlink(Samknows) > ABES > NAS

Below are the results from my iMac in study room about 6-7M away with a wall blockage from my AEBS

5Ghz wireless channel (SGIX Host) - typically, it's in the range to 70+ to 90+Mbps with door closed



2.4Ghz wireless channel (SGIX Host) - typically, it's in the range to 20+ to 40+Mbps with door closed

 

[EquinOoX]

whats the BT speed u guys normally get ?

Do you access your NAS outside? am i right to say that port forward must be done? i.e dlink 192.168.1.1 / 56u 192.168.2.1 / nas 192.168.2.222. therefore i have to port forward say port 1234 from dlink ip to 56u ip and 56u port forward to nas ip?

 

[Gribber]

2-4MB/s

on 100Mbps plan

yes.
yes.
yes, if not you can always do DMZ on your bridging router to your other router if the NAS is connected at the other router..

thank you.

@stilnox : believe Gribber has help answered your question.

@Gribber : Thank you.

@EquinOoX : My BT speed typically around 1.5-2MB/s using Transmission.

Anyway, here's another speedtest of my 5Ghz wireless channel at night.
