Re: SB6120 Blue light?

HOLY CRAP!!! UPSTREAM BONDING!!!

Can we get some shots of the "Configuration" and "Help" pages?

1) Would like to see the firmware & date and boot version.

2) Would like to see status of IP Mode, wondering if it is now at IPv6.

P.S. If your router's uplink port is gigabit capable, you should also get a blue light on ETHERNET. I have found that due to overhead, even a Fast Ethernet (100Mbps) port can create a bottleneck for data throughput depending on the manufacturer, where as Gigabit Ethernet provides sufficient overhead.

I believe this is a first here!

Now I'll be anxiously waiting to see if it hits here, and if there is any associated increase in the provisioned upstream...

I have no trouble getting a blue light on the uplink (Airport Extreme) ... now I want the Blue on the OTHER side!

I hope we are close!

We are supposed to have D3 here by sometime this summer, we'll see I guess.

Ah, I've been wondering when we were going to get it. I'm using a WRT54GL router, so all green here.

OP: Post some speedtests, I want to see what your upstream hits .

Well, that's what tech support told me last week, of course, take it with a boulder of salt lol Here is a speed test, my Uploads never go above 2 Mbps, no Powerboost on the Uploads here-

Generally I fould that a business router does the job. I'm using a Cisco RVS4000 small business router, gigabit wan and lan, and that makes the difference. I found when coupling this with a SB6120 which has a gigabit port, its good to go. If you don't want to go with the RVS4000 and want wireless, I'd recommend the
D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router. It has the gigabit wan and lan and wireless N.
