V26 already nice!

My bad, apologies.

What's the default username & password for the DIR-850L?

Thanks nyme & jack, can you discern any pattern to the default passwords as set by TM? Like for RGX4400, it's Opr@XXXX (XXX=last 4 chars of MAC address.)

What's the password on the sticker? Mine is admin@ztfs

I wonder if it's the same for all 850Ls or if it depends on the contractor.

What I have on the sticker are:
Wifi SSIDs
dlink-xxxx
dlink-xxxx-5GHz
(xxxx=last 4 MAC characters)
Wifi Password: ztfsj25665
User Password: admin@ztfs

Why the regret? Though I may understand why. It seems slow.

The TM silk screened one that I have now is FW: v2.06 HW: B1. First thing that hits me is that web interface is really slow. Haven't really tested the 850L but for now I feel the RGX4400 is a better choice. I've been using the RGX4400 at a nearby coffee shop almost everyday. It's really fast. It can handle 20-30 typical kopi shop users with no probs at all.

I wonder how the 850L holds up.

Thanks, that's DLink's default right? I guess somewhere along the way TM had the stickers printed and routers reconfigured.

The best thing about DLink is the free ddns and not just any ddns, it's hosted by dyndns.org which is quite reputable.

For sure, get the TRG212M changed. I'm officially, as far as TM is concerned, still using my DIR-615, one of these days I will put it back online and complain about the slowness.

That's true, it's got a really nice web interface. Free dlinkddns from dyndns is always my favourite feature of DLink routers. The QoS by device look very simple to use.

Built-in AP mode selection is good for those just want to use it as an additional AP.

Shareport is very easy to setup but no FTP. It's webdav right? Must try it one day.

Lastly, they don't attempt to hide the PPPoE password. It's there when you need it.

Things I don't like about it so far. 1 x USB2 port, no FTP, no SNMP, no telnet, no SSH (but most ppl won't need the last 3), cannot change Admin username.

One day will test it to see how many connections it can take before dying. it has 128mb RAM but not sure how much of that is free.

Edit: No link lights for the ethernet ports. Why?

When you first got it, did you use it? Can it handle bittorrent well? I'm wondering how much free ram and hence connections that it can take.

If not anything else, it'll be useful as a dual-band AP. I mean it's free right?

I'll snap pics of it tomorrow but RGX4400 looks exactly the same as the RG4332 with additional one USB3 and one USB2 port at the back. It's the standard Innacomm silver box. I bought one from a forumer for RM50 but the one I've been using most is the one at the coffee shop. I'm so damn impressed with its performance. It doesn't have fancy features but it has SSH, telnet, FTP and even snmp. Not sure if it has SMB. Almost 90MB free ram on boot. The web interface is really fast. Basic looking but quite complete. Even has an ARP table. It reminds me of a Mikrotik. Maybe that's why I like it so much.

I know I keep on harping about snmp but I use it to monitor some routers and servers.

Most routers above are Mikrotiks. The one with only a few status box are not. They either don't have snmp or have snmp that don't work.

What's your speedtest like?

The RGX4400 that I use is at a coffee shop. I'm usually there lunch or dinner so consider peak time. About 20-30 devices. Performance still very good. They're on 100mbps, I guess that helps. As far as the router is concerned, it's on default config. The only setting that I can see that might affect performance is QOS. Currently it's set to "fair competition."

Can't say about the disconnection. Haven't really noticed it since I'm on a notebook when I'm there.

If LAN ok and WiFi slow then definitely should be looking into placement of RGX4400, wifi configuration or perhaps interference from neighbours. Not that much you can do but try a different place to put the router (or higher/lower), changing channels or using different channel widths. Do you use 5Ghz or 2.4GHz?

I'm on 5GHz Wifi at the coffee shop. It's a new row of shops so very little interference. I can get full 100/50mbps speedtest on my phone on 5GHz AC. The layout is quite open so there's nothing blocking the wifi signal. A house or apartment would be quite different.

Funny you should ask this, I was just testing bt.

Anyway...

RGX4400 bittorrent test at my local coffee shop, Unifibiz 100mbps.

<hey Siri, insert mac screenshot here.>

4 well seeded torrents. Centos DVD, Everything, Live & Minimal. Can't get it to go above 80mbps before I ran out of battery. May be better or worse if I waited a bit longer. BT set to 5000 connections. Incoming port auto-forwarded via uPnP.

nmap says 15 devices connected including my phone and macbook. Not too busy a night. Browsing on my phone to LYN during the test seems smooth. Maybe relatively slight delay. Router QoS set to "fair competition", whatever that means.

SSH has noticeable lag. Router at 50MB mem free (usually 90MB free on startup), bt connections about 1000.

Overall not too bad, quite good actually, for a free router.

No need, green means incoming port is already forwarded, usually via upnp if you didn't forward it yourself.

It's also ok to use mbps. No one, unless they're noob, ignorant or OCD, is going to mistake the m, in the context of mbps, for something other than mega. Nonetheless they're are not wrong.

Well, when someone talks about 100mbps, I highly doubt they mean 100 millibits per second. Maybe in quantum computing but that's way out of my league.

So from now on, everybody referring to UniFi Pro 100 must use 100Mbps or 1000000000000000000000000mbps™*.

*Number of zeroes for illustrative purposes only and may not reflect actual food served or portion size.

Speed of bt depends on your torrent. Go download Centos and see what you get. In my test, I used 4 torrents, Centos DVD, Everything, Live & Minimal. All at the same time.

Probly not a cable problem. You get 800000000000000000000000mbps™ to 1000000000000000000000000mbps™ when you do a speedtest?

Not true, it's only recently in 2011 that MilliBit was unofficially used. Since I'm not in the financial sector, I can't say for sure but it's probably still in use now. Especially since the rate is so much higher now.

OK, here in Sungai Long. Server: MYREN.

That's really good speed. 10 megs a sec! Wish I had Pro 100. 10 times as fast as my relative's office LAN which is still on 10BaseT. So definitely not your cable problem.

Only in the morning? You think it could be density problem? House or condo? DSL or Fibre?

Weird that it doesn't work with Google DNS. What's you DNS configuration?

Sadly no experience with that so can't help you.
