Yeah good points ive had to do that many times. By the way I changed my mind on that router I linked. Turns out it seems to be a rebranded tenda w268r which sells for $20. Theres a whole thread on amazon about possibly fake reviews for it.
[Networking] AtoZ0to9:
Man I'll just be honest, when I was doing phone support for comcast, and I asked what router they had, and I was told tenda, or medialink, the headset immediately got flipped around so I could laugh my @$$ off... just seems be more issues with cheaper brands, such as having to powercycle more often, or you won't get your full bandwidth, also, they're smaller companies, so support with firmware updates won't be as good... The best router I ever owned was a Cisco E1000... an older model, but Wireless-N... It's still going, just at my sister's house, I had to upgrade due to a bandwidth increase with my internet and I needed a 5ghz side as well, to accommodate it over wifi... I saw a refurb E1000 on amazon earlier for 19.99 but I didn't post it just because I'm not a fan of refurbs... and yea, the guy earlier said he a WRT54g with DD-WRT custom firmware loaded, and thats great and all, but G? Seriously?? You'll want an N router, and have enough customization in its interface to limit its radio to G/N or possibly N-only if everything is Wireless-N... I'll help you setup whatever you buy if you want...
[Networking] Reilly1812:
+1. Right on point. Cheap means you can replace it more often. Stick with a name brand.

[Networking] kbreese:
Thanks man. I was hoping to spend less but was considering the Linksys E3200 here:

http://www.amazon.com/E3200-High-Pe...&qid=1346283467&sr=1-2&keywords=linksys+e3200

What do you think? Seems reviews are mixed on ALL the routers, including all the name brand ones. They all have a decent share of bad reviews which makes it really hard to chose one! I mean for example the one above has 196 reviews that are 4-5 stars but 94 reviews that are 1-3 stars. Call me crazy but in 1 out of 3 are not too happy with it, I don't see that as a good thing, but this is actually one of the better reviewed ones! lol
[Networking] Reilly1812:
Used Linksys (Cisco), DLink and Netgear. Linksys has lasted the longest but they all work.

[Networking] AtoZ0to9:
That's a good router man... It's part of last years lineup and is one shy of that lineup's top model the E4500... The people who rated it badly probably didn't have the basic skills it takes to get it working properly... It's dual band so you if your phone supports 5ghz wireless you'll get better bandwidth with that... Also, Cisco routers are extremely manageable with the router's web interface, not to mention they are current leader in wireless networking, although few would argue that the new Asus AC routers are better... but who has an AC WiFi card in their laptop?

Basically when it comes to a wireless router, the equation more money equals a better router actually holds true... You don't need to go any better than that, you only have one PC, that will be hardwired, and it can handle plenty of wireless connections on both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz networks...

That's your buy right there if you don't mind paying for it... The only other router that comes to mind is the Cisco EA2700, which is part of their new lineup, and is at Best Buy for I think 80... I returned it for the EA4500 though, which is $175... You don't need anything that good, I needed it because I have 105Mbps internet, and custom built everything to actually do 105Mbps over WiFi... Plus we have like 4 wireless computers, and a wireless bridge with a TV, BluRay, and Xbox360 on it...
[Networking] kbreese:
Thanks for the feedback. Last night i actually pulled the trigger on an asus rt-n56u. Was$108 with free extended warranty on newegg.. more than I wanted to spend but it had really good reviews on the net. My cable connection is optonline boost which is supposed to be a 50/8 connection but last night I did a speedtest and it was only 11/2. Not sure if maybe that is because I use an older modem & router or what...
[Networking] AtoZ0to9:
Well that's something you're going to want to check on.... Cable internet at that speed requires a Docsis 3.0 compliant modem, and to be properly provisioned for that service by the provider... The older router can decrease your speeds, but you won't know unless you bypass it... That's a nice router, once you're getting your full bandwidth, it won't have any problems putting all 50 out on the 5Ghz side... Glad you went with a good choice...
[Networking] kbreese:
Yeah I will probably have cablevision swap it out for a new modem and see what happens. One other question...since my computer will likely remain a hardwired connection will the router performance not matter in terms of just my computer?
[Networking] AtoZ0to9:
DEFINATELY have your provider replace your current modem with a D3 modem because you need that... and there should be ZERO charge for that service call... I don't know their supported devices, but I recommend a Motorola SB6120, SB6121, or a Zoom 5341J... With Comcast, the SB6121 has F/W issues, and I don't recommend it, the F/W is developed by Motorola and then tweaked by your ISP... The benefit of the Zoom is it's capable of 8 x 4 bonded channels, both of the Motorolas only 4 x 4 bonded channels, so with the Zoom you'll be guaranteed a modem you can use for years... You'll want a modem with a Gigabit ethernet port... Your Asus router has all Gigabit ethernet ports... So your hardconnected PC will get it's FULL bandwidth... If you upgraded to say 105Mbps, and the computer only has a 100Mbps ethernet slot, you'll see about 80 down, not the full 105...

So in a nutshell, have your ISP replace yours with D3 modem that has a gigabit ethernet slot... You'll see full bandwidth on the PC, and also on anything connected to the Asus 5Ghz network... the 2.4Ghz will top out at about 30 - 40... Other factors determine that such as number of networks on the same channel detectable, as well as the laptop's built-in WiFi card...
[Networking] kbreese:
Thanks for another thorough response. Here is the modem I have right now:

http://optimum.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2329/~/modems:-scientific-atlanta-dpx2203

Just tested again today and getting 15/5 on speedtest.net
[Networking] AtoZ0to9:
That's an Docsis2 eMTA... very old school... It's EOL with Comcast, and wouldn't surprise me if it were with your provider as well... Do you also have phone service with them? If so, try to get this eMTA...
[Networking] kbreese:
Yes, I have phone service that runs through the same modem...

emta?
[Networking] AtoZ0to9:
Yes, EMTA stands for Embedded Multimedia Terminal Adapter, it does both the phone and internet... I've edited my last post, I linked you to a 4-line EMTA, try to get this one, it's a 2 line EMTA capable of 8 x 4 bonded channels, and has a gigabit ethernet slot...

You're not getting your proper speeds because you have an End-of-life D2 EMTA, very old, and it's not provisioned properly... Can't provision a D2 device with D3 service... You're next call should be to setup a service call to get the proper EMTA... Can't install it yourself, the tech has to provision the phone service to it...
[Networking] kbreese:
You are saying I can't install that modem myself?

yeah right now when my girlfriend is on the phone it lags or drops me when I am playing games
[Networking] kbreese:
Oh and what's D2 and D3??
[Networking] AtoZ0to9:
No you need a tech to come out and replace it, to provision the phone service to the new EMTA and make the necessary changes in the VoIP soft-switch ... And with everything you've posted so far, it needs a 2-line D3 EMTA, preferably the Arris TM822G...

Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS) is an international telecommunications standard that permits the addition of high-speed data transfer to an existing cable TV (CATV) system. It is employed by many cable television operators to provide Internet access over their existing hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) infrastructure.

[Networking] Reilly1812:
Thank you for an excellent walk through and explanation.

Still Charged Up
[Networking] kbreese:
Thanks man but it looks like 2 & 3 are the same speeds...whats the benefit of the additional "channels"...not sure what the channels mean in this particular application
[Networking] AtoZ0to9:
They're not the same speed... 1 channel can do 38Mbps whether it be up or down... Think of channels like lanes on a road... D2 is a two lane road and can't be expanded... It's only capable of having one upstream and one downstream channel, so it tops out at 38Mbps up and down... D3 is huge superhighway that can be expanded as you need... it's capable of 8 downstream channels and 4 upstream channels giving it a theoretical maximum throughput of 304Mbps down, and 108Mbps up... I saw it all the time man... People having a D2 modem with D3 service, and wondering why they can't get the speeds they pay for... It's not the customer's job to know everything about their service and equipment, so when you upgraded to 50/8, someone up there should have had the common sense to look and see what equipment you had...
[Networking] kbreese:
Ahh, that makes sense. Thanks again for the great explanation. Will report back after I get my new modem and router setup. :good:
[Networking] kbreese:
I just thought of something...with a sweet new router and cable modem, am I going to be limited by the connection in my motherboard? my mb is a gigabyte 790XTA-UD4...computer is a few years old...
[Networking] AtoZ0to9:
Nah... That MB has 1 x Realtek 8111D chip (10/100/1000 Mbit) which is a gigabit connection... Plus you only have 50Mbps internet, so even if it were 100Mbps ethernet slot, you would still get your full bandwidth... Having Gigabit everything is a plus, and also you have a nice router... So you'll a lot of expand-ability with your network... So if you had an HD movie on the computer, and wanted to stream it to a TV, especially if the TV is hard-wired also, you would have no lag at all... That's what I focused primarily on when I built my network... Local network speed for streaming, and also, I want the full bandwidth over WiFi... $350 later, I have that... LOL
[Networking] kbreese:
Cool, thanks. My cable company now offers 100mb service...so I may be headed in that direction!
[Networking] AtoZ0to9:
I'd be talking with billing to get a refund for all the time you had 50Mbps internet with the wrong EMTA.... someone dropped the ball with that one and it wasn't you...
[Networking] kbreese:
Well as of now I only have "boost" which is a 30Mbps connection...is my old modem capable of that? They offer, regular, boost, boost plus (50/8) and ultra or something like that which is 100mbps. I will upgrade to boost plus if not ultra.

Btw, I just connected new modem and now got 28/8 which is right on par with the service i have. Seems my old linksys router was bottle necking me! And my GF and I just connected our SG3 phones to the Wifi....SWEET! so fast!
[Networking] kbreese:
One thing though...For the wifi with our phones how do I know if I am 2.4ghz or 5.0ghz? and how do I switch between them??
[Networking] AtoZ0to9:
Docsis 2.0 can handle 30Mbps... it's thereotical top speed is like 42Mbps I believe, I'd have to look back at the chart... So you can continue to use that EMTA, but if you upgrade, you need the better one... You mean you connected your new router? Yea routers over time will need a factory reset... old linksys models are known for cutting your speed over time and requiring a reset....

Sweet man, I'm glad you're happy with the new router... Connect your S3 to the 5ghz side, and it'll top out just like the computer...

[Networking] AtoZ0to9:
You have a 2.4 Ghz and a 5Ghz network.... 2 seperate networks, that should have 2 seperate names...

You just so happen to have a router I've never setup before... But it's just like setting up any router... It'll have a default IP address, usually http://192.168.1.1 to log into it's interface and change things.... also it'll have a default username and password... it varies by brand... I'll have to do some google searching to figure out your Asus... If you want me to set it up over Teamviewer, PM me... but I'll need to find the info specific to it, and I would need you hard-wired with the computer...

One other question, there is something on my phone that says wifi calling is now active and that it may or many not count toward my minute useage. What is this??
[Networking] AtoZ0to9:
Might want to consider using WPA2 encryption as well...

---------- Post added at 03:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 PM ----------

WiFi calling is for configuring it to use you WiFi and Google Voice or other compatible service to make calls...
[Networking] AtoZ0to9:
WPA Authentication will limit your link speed to router to 54Mbs, WPA2 will use what the router is capable of, either 300Mbps or 450Mbps... With your current setup it's not critical you change that, but if you ever have the need for a wireless device, like a laptop, to communicate with the router at it's full bandwidth, in a local situtation, or if you upgrade to the 100, change it to WPA2...
[Networking] kbreese:
Is WPA2 less secure and does it still auto connect after you put in your initial passwrod? I ask because the current setting says "auto" in it but I dont think it says that with the WPA2...
[Networking] AtoZ0to9:
its more secure actually...
[Networking] AtoZ0to9:
Yea, it'll auto-connect, the AUTO was for detecting the wireless clients highest capable authentication method...
[Networking] MrObvious:
WPA is a protocol developed by the guys who manage this stuff (I can't remember if it's the IEEE or what but Wikipedia can shead more light). Basically it is designed to be more secure than WEP (which can be cracked in a minute) and uses AES encryption (which is fast but strong). WPA2 is the second generaton of WPA with some more enhancements. Basically you want to use WPA2 because you don't want Neighbor Joe Bob downloading illegal crap on your Wi-Fi or using your bandwidth for his torrents or whatever and you don't want him running a packet scanner so he can see your password for like XDA, etc.

Wikipedia may not be a bad thing to read if you can understand it. But long story short, WPA2 AES encryption with a long password will keep your Wi-Fi secure.
[Networking] kbreese:
I wonder why it doesnt automatically default to wpa2??
[Networking] AtoZ0to9:
For backwards compatibility with devices that can only do WPA... Set it to WPA2...
[Networking] kbreese:
Done! Set it to "WPA2-Personal" for both the 2.5 and 5ghz. Thanks!
[Networking] AtoZ0to9:

hey there!

I was searching around in different forums, but without success.

I'm seaching for a way to enable nfs-support on my HOX. I'm running MIUI v4 2.8.24 and want to test xbmc with central mysql database.

Upcomig Problem is the missing nfs-support on Android, so nfs-shares cant be used.

Does anybody know if there is already a usable kernel-module to enable nfs support?

Thanks in advance!
[HTC One X] Pippolepippa:
I have an HTC desire, and could enable nfs by compiling the appropriate kernel modules, then using "mount manager" to load them and access the nfs shares.

You obviously will need a rooted phone, and I remember struggling a bit to compile the modules (particularly putting the appropriate version string in the files), but can't remember how I did it, unfortunately. I actually dread the time I'll have to do it again for my next phone :(

My opinion of firefox on the Nexus 7

To me when i first start it up it flies thru pages.. Then i realize its quite clumbsy .. Mis touches often.. Putting in passwords is a pain in the Butt . I find it leaving the password box. jumping from zoom to not zoom. and so on .. It seems if they would slow the ui down just a bit it would work better.. NOW Once your past that it does load pages better . Page rendering seems to be a big faster but it shows things being rendered. With the NEW Chrome they do most of that in the background and you see a micro second or so of lag while its rendered then pushed to you. With firefox you can see the text come into focus..

SO Over all i would say its Much better then there past tries..

my conclusion is . to stick to Chrome and stock browser for sites that do not like chrome.. But keep watching and checking out FIREFOX in the mean time...

Anyone with comments on the above is very welcome . If im the only one with such issues i would like to know .. OHH I USED Thumbs keyboard . stock android keyboard and swift x keyboard there latest one. SWIFT IS VERY BUGGY AT TIMES . SCRAMBLES WORDS AND TEXT . ESPECIALLY in Word processor .. Thumbs most stable ...
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
Why so many versions? I've been on Aurora for a few weeks and really liking it. Only thing I don't like is bookmark access. I just loaded the new one and it does seem a bit faster loading pages. The UI looks identical to Aurora (why 2 versions?). Not sure what the password problem is mentioned, I find it no different than any other browser (I use Swype).

The "Desktop by default" doesn't seem to work most of the time, but that doesn't bother me, I just hit "Desktop" version at the bottom of the mobile page if I want to see it. Most bookmarks that are www. do go to Desktop version. There's a few good extensions that "usually" work, "Always zoom", "TapTapWrap", and Adblock. Has 4 built in search engines, which you can add to the list. I really don't like all the clicks to bookmarks, but I solved that by just having a shortcut folder on my home screen that goes straight to my most used ones.

Sure seems like there should be an "import from Aurora" rather than just from default browser... a little pain getting the new version set up. Seems stupid you need to re-set up sync. I'll convert to FF for a few weeks to see if there's much difference. Plays flash just as well as Aurora.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] SPreston2001:
Seems nice but boat browser does everything it does including flash and is a little easier to navigate IMO.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
I agree, but I use FF at work and home, and the syncing is great (can edit mobile bm folder on PC, rearrange, rename, add folders, and sync!). I do like Chrome a lot, but FF finally seems to work as well (as far as zooming and wrapping). I tend to prefer one browser so I don't get too confused. I do have and like Boat on my Froyo phone.

* Better tabs experience - swipe to close

* Support for SPDY networking protocol v3

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] jarayn:

Honestly I've tried most of them but chrome is so much nicer. Proper tabs with swipe left and right. The misclick thing that pops up to confirm what you really want. The only browser I haven't tried is xscope and I dont think I will since there's no free version.

Swipe to close is just like the normal app close thing. When you are looking at the open tabs you swipe off the one you don't want.
