Re: [Internet] Best Routers for Bridged Networks 5Ghz radio seems to be localized to our iPad's only, and after doing either streaming from the web or Media server. PC that is 5Ghz doesn't use the Media server and rarely streams stuff off the web.
Actually I'm surprised the iPad's (V2 and 3) have 5Ghz capability? They do see the radio and connect and appear to be stronger on that than the 2.4Ghz. I thought the iPad's were 2.4Ghz only? I didn't realize they could see a 5Ghz radio until we were traveling and saw a 5Ghz radio. Came home and we can connect to ours.
I've moved the iPad's back to 2.4Ghz and this takes care of the 'problem'.

Florida | Irv,
I have two iPad 3's and 1 iPad 2 all running on the 5 GHz radio. I have been streaming YouTube all day with no issues using latest firmware. Strange how the same configuration results in different results  .
Every few days a video will stop. It looks like the iPad dropped off the network. I go to settings and turn Wifi off then on and all is good. If this is the problem you are seeing then I just never paid much attention to it. Just accepted it as a glitch.
My wife works from home quite often and uses the 5 GHz radio to access a VPN. She has seen no problems. Actually before I installed the ASUS RT-N56U she complained about the crappy WiFi from the Ubee. Now she is happy 
Did you see this problem on earlier builds also? |

No, this started on .025 and continued on .026, .018 worked fine. Worst situation is when I run on the iPad3 a Media Player to play video files off of the USB drive attached to the N56U. What usually 'breaks it' is when I try to move forward on a video. I use AIR AV or ACE PLAYER to view the video's. It doesn't move, just freezes. The iPad2 will also 'hang' as my wife plays some streaming apps. It isn't really a connection drop. Both can be reconnected the WiFi without problems and it works again, that is you can access the Internet and all, but I find I need to switch which app I used the access the media player as the one that hung doesn't work. Switching to the 2.4 channel, no problems and both apps work fine as does my wife's iPad. We're staying on the 2.4 channel now and I'll check every drop to see if it is fixed.

Irv this really isn't the place for this...if you are having problems then you need to report them to Padavan like we do. Have you done that yet? I am not seeing anything as you described at all...not even one instance. You should also report it with the App maker since there is likely something there as well.

| Gary, I've been using the SMALL BUILDER NET, like this one, »forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showt···&page=15 to report problems. It seems someone from the Padavan team is watching this and answering. I'd report it on the normal website but I never see any resolution there. Only comments from others, such as the one I put here above.

IRV!!! (face in Palms)....please...there appears to be two branches of Padavan folks...post your errors on the Padavan site directly in the format they ask you. Post your App issues on the App devs site. There is a reason why they have the issues area on the main site and who knows who the other guy is on smallnetbuilder.
One thing for sure I don't want to see it here until you have actually posted an issue notification there and then shared it with us. Reason is simple...posting such things here only does no good...I am not entering your issue fix request for you and honestly I cannot concur with your findings despite my best effort to break this firmware it just hasn't happened as you described for me or others and I have ever piece of equipment you do.
Going forward so as not to confuse anyone if you encounter a problem with the firmware or an App post the approriate support requests on each of involved parties and then share with us the link where you have done this so we can watch how it develops (if it does).
If in fact you find something that is duplicatable I will confirm it, and also file the appropriate support request or add mine to yours or vice versa but I am not going to chase red herring issues without the proper support backup. Thanks

| Quick question for you guys. Is there anyway to limit the bandwith on a particular IP addy with this router? I cannot for the life of me find a QOS option. I'm still on firmware .18. Should I upgrade to the latest .26? |

No there is no bandwidth limiting or QoS that is machine specific. |
|
| Really? Well that sucks. I was hoping to do some tests with Call of Duty Black Ops 2 by limiting the bandwith on the xbox down to 250kbs/s. Guess I'll just load up a torrent and do it that way. |

I'm currently testing the v1 version of 027 (look in downloads top file). Just loaded it yesterday so no opinion yet. |

| so after checking some of this out. is it safe to say that these ubee modem/routers are poopy?
i still can't figure out what is wrong with my connection. my speeds and everything are fine from what i'm told from support. it's my connected devices (computer, ps3, xbox, etc) that are suffering.
i'm going to try and use my old router i was using when i had the modem and the basic package. i didn't have this much latency before, which doesn't make sense.
if the ubee's are poopy, then i might spring for this asus you guys are talking about. |

This isnt the thread for specific modem issues...open a new thread (direct prefered since I will need your IP address) and I'll take a look at whats going on. The bottom line is no the Ubees are just fine.

Quick question...
I have a D-Link DIR-655 sitting here that I used with my previous ISP before moving to my current place. Is it worth bridging the DDW3611 so that I can use the DIR-655 or should I just stick with the DDW3611?

Gary, the Padavan Official site's issue link shows 2 issues with a version not available, 033. Both reports, 657 and 658 are from different users and are 3 days old. Was a new drop released and removed fast or are they now available from a different source? Have you ever seen that 033 drop?
I ask as I've been having problems with 027 and have to re-boot the router often. Yes, I know, report it there, and I would if I could pin it down to the flash and if I ever saw a result posted on any issue.
What we've been seeing is 'slowdown' on inet access randomly on both the computers and the iPad's, but not at the same time. Either power off and on the device or re-booting the router solves the problem. For instance, I can be surfing the web with fast page loads yet Laraine is quite slow. Sometimes it is the other way around or we're both slow as. Same with the iPads. Re-booting router or the device clears it. 5Ghz signal doesn't see to go as far for the iPad's either on this drop. Can't quantify that either, just less, and can't imagine how the flash would effect that? I'd report these if I was sure it was flash.
For what it is worth, we both are on W8 now, and there are some issues we have to work through using W8 and drivers might need replacement. She's been on it for a month, me a few days. I'm still messing with my NIC driver, it has boot problems, but once enabled the connection seems fine. My comment above about slowness was when I was on W7 and Laraine W8, but now since we're both on W8 we're still seeing this so I doubt it was W8 alone.
