Where'd you get that graph on your Vigor router?

haha i have same questions but some forumers replied me so far no media player at malaysia selling compatible with pps.

Cannot say like this one worr... If say like this I must download youtube video to watch, not stream directly?? Because streaming store the video temporarily and then delete it from temporary files.
PPS also same idea... And hor... sometimes the files downloaded are not up to satisfactory also delete one mah

ok, now i change my mind and expectation for Asus RT-N16 to "IT'S SUCK!" for "ITS LOOKS PROMISING!"

i just dump 2 torrent to it download manager, hibernate my PC and went shopping. 4hrs later i come back, for no reason i found that my PC had be waken up from hibernation, and my PC cant connect to the internet. I tried to ping to all valid external IPs, it can reply... my BT is still running, but the status of the Asus GUI shown Disconnected, but the light with the globe is on.

OK, did say i can ping to IPs, but I can't ping to URL!!! it will return the IP of 10.0.0.1 to what so ever site!!!

Hey, is this really the firmware problem or because of the torrent running on the background?? I never faced this problem even once with my DIR-615, which is being 24/7 for more than 3 months.  and today it's the 2nd of router rebooting being perform!!

I do understand I will get a degraded through put if all the function is being, as this is a pro and cons for most of the higher ATM product as well, but to the extend of what I am facing is more than ridiculous!

and today is just the 2nd of my usage of ASUS RT-N16 and I had already had a very had experience on it.

I will give it a week for it to stable down, and if I am still no satisfy with it i will sell it off and get TP-LINK instead.

My intention of getting this router is because it have the function to do simple downloading without my PC on. I don't really need a NAS as i already had a media player and getting a NAS is too costly for me.

as for the router, actually i don't have much complain on DIR-615 till recently it giving some weird problem where I will be kicked out from bnet server when I have my DL and UL running on the max. I don't faced this during the first installation of UNIFI, and after I changed it to Asus RT-N16. Draytek is too costly, and I rarely gonna use a single function in there, that's why I will change to TPlink or just remain default to DIR-615.

** I am not that rich, as the router also i bought from a forumer after he claimed a 1-1 warranty, consider 2nd hand? and i will sell it out and get a TPlink which i might as save up a bit of my $. Anyway let see how it goes first.

Added on January 7, 2012, 11:22 amholy crap.. it's really crap!! now some of my download files gone missing from the Ext HDD!! WTF this asus rt-n16..

and after reboot this unit just cant get connected till i manual OFF and ON the connection..

no need to apologize about it. gonna sell the router once i am back from my in-law house and setup a low end PC for downloading rather than getting this crap out of the buck that i paid.

Could have a look at a NAS like Synology Disktation if you do a lot of Torrent downloads etc. will use less electricity than a low end PC too I guess

You can also install Usenet client on it if you use that,  but to be honest it's no good for extracting large RAR archives 

I have no problem flashing a router, but I want something stable. I had the TP Link before, and whilst it was better than the DIR-615 provided still not great.
Now using the Draytek 2130N, for NAS I use DS211J, and no problems at all - all stable and reliable

Shame that HDDs are so expensive, at first I had it setup on mirror RAID (RAID 1) to make 2x2tb mirrored, but now set to 4tb total as I was running out of space.

Hopefully the prices come down soon so I can upgrade this

Thailand flood, 3.5" HDD price shoot up like crazy. Haiz...

Not just 3.5" HDD, all HDD shoot up in price .. only SSD not affected

err... what the price of the NAS? Not gonna get a HDD at this momment since the price double up after thailand flood.
by the way, the asuswrt is an official firmware which had been release by asus which can be download from their official site, hence it's not a hacked firmware like what you had claim.

as for those hacked firmware, they still can default back to their original firmware to claim for warranty. I am not here to argue about hacked or non-hacked firmware.. but just wanna get the best out of the buck that come out from my pocket.

for me, drayteck is definitely a big NO from me at the moment when looking at the price, I will jump up and down, which i will prefer taking mikrotik.. but again, i won't take mikrotik as I am just using is as a home base and i don't need to have those function which is more the a small enterprise, that is why Asus router come to my mind at first when looking at is price and features.

since I got no choice at the moment, i might go to NAS.. but hey, right now my asus seem to be stable up for a day, but just wait for a week before i really make up my decision. I might write a mail to KLSEET seeking his help on this matter since he got a wide range of contact.

thanks/

thanks for your help. I just send an email to klseet seeking his help. Actually I don't really like a box with too many powerful feature as it will degrade the performance of the box itself. It's the same as the argument of getting a 3-1 modem router wireless, or just getting 1 pure modem, 1 pure router and 1 pure AP router... well there's pros and cons as well...

for the asus firmware, it should be a stable version as i downloaded it from it official site without the word "beta", finger crossed!

from the scenerio that i faced, i can only conclude it as
1. hardware problem
2. firmware problem
3. BT download from the box cause the chaos that i faced.

so what the price of synology that will fit into my environment. any link of reference so that i can read up more on the product.

Anyone stumble this article? Sorry if its slowpoke. WPA is not secure anymore :\

Oh... So what they limit is the upload storage.
FTTH or VDSL?
Anyway, you need a 4-socket extension for all the devices. Plan clearly how they're going to lay the cables and remember to get the slip after they complete the installation
It's not that easy to crack. At least I'm not that free to crack them. I check device connected to the router through wifi from time to time. If anything wrong, unknown device connected, I reset everything and set a new password  I don't think the very same fellow will keep trying on the very same network everytime I change wifi password. I think...

"Your window is Window XP so canot connect to your new Unifi Wifi..must use Window7" - Heard this statement from Unifi person who install unifi services at my relatives house.

Wonder can Unifi personal be trusted or not.

Then I ask them to use Lan cable connection..he say  RM0.70/meter..after calculate it's RM50..I was in office or else I'll blast him out.

Don't be surprised that some of the UniFi installers are degree holders. Though not necessarily in CS. On a side note, all the techs at my wife's company are degree holders, CS & Eng, and they do go around installing routers too.

Hiding SSID is the best method for me.
Offcourse the best method is to only allow MAC address that is approved to access the WiFi network. However, this method is a lot more complicated then hiding the SSID.

I've been using Streamyx for 5 years before I move to UNiFi for almost a year now.
And I've never put any encryption on my WiFi and the WiFi SSiD is still the same for this 6 years.

I just hid my SSID then when any of my friends or relatives came over to my house and wanted to access my WiFi, I just have to tell them my SSID, that's all.

Believe it or not, through all this 6 years the only devices that connected to my WiFi is the devices that belongs to me, my friends & my relatives.
This is why I pick hidden SSID without encryption. Without encryption, I don't have to remember the password and the WiFi is still working at the speed of Wireless N.

Yes, I know I've been lucky all these past years. Thank you for your suggestion.

However I still have the ability to block their MAC address should if they were succesful in accessing my network.
I always check my router to see if there's an unknown MAC address accessing my network.

I'm still happy with my choice.
