Re: [Internet] Best Routers for Bridged Networks

reply to FTBoomer
Okay....kind of expected it this weekend....will get it loaded and let everyone know by tomorrow night.

Gary, suggestion, maybe 'we' could just have a PADAVAN thread only? We'd post to it when there is something pertaining to the flash, good, bad, or just a new release rather than intermingling it here?

Gary I'm thinking about buying a ASUS RT-N56U , I know you love this model. Wanting to replace my old Dlink DIR-655 that's used as a second wired Router. Is this where everyone gets the padavan firmware at ?
»code.google.com/p/rt-n56u/
Is the RT-N56U better then a dlink DIR-655 in a hard wired environment ?

yes and yes

The main Router is asus rt-n66u with a 192.168.1.1
I'm assuming the asus rt-n56u also has a 192.168.1.1
Will it be easy to change the router IP to something like 192.168.0.1 and a DHCP IP Address Range: of 192.168.0.100-192.168.0.199
to avoid IP conflict ?

Once you bridge the modem it won't matter but if you want either can be changed...

reply to FTBoomer
Okay go for it

I'm so excited i ordered the asus rt-n56u from newegg it should be here tomorrow. First thing i'm going to do is put that new padavan firmware on it. The Benchmarks for this router are pretty amazing

Why not Amazon...think it's cheaper. Oh wait you're in California you pay tax anyway lol (another reason not to live there lol).

Ok My new ASUS RT-N56U is all connected so far i updated to the latest padavan firmware and configured everything the way I like.
a Few things I need to ask you, in the LAN>Ethernet Switch I have Disabled "Green Ethernet" when ever I see "green" or "power save" I think of Slow performance , I want everything fast. Was that good to Disable Green Ethernet ? One last thing I see no QOS settings In the Menu , I liked to Keep QOS disabled. Where is the QOS in the menu in the GUI. Thanks

There is no QoS with that router and firmware....it isn't needed

Gary I'm starting to love this Router it already feels alot more powerful then my old DIR-655 Dlink. Please tell me what this
"Green Ethernet" is , is it some kind of silly power saving thingy?

Green ethernet powers down the ethernet ports (sorta) if they are not in use... I don't use it..

Ok Thanks Gary So Far I'm very impressed with this beast of a router.
Got my beast Lightning 60/5 Motorola SB6141 Connected to my beast Router RT-N66U in charge of wifi devices, and my VOIP phone adapter, then I have a LAN cord running to my Bedroom Thats connected to my new RT-N56U , and i got My bedroom computer hooked up to it and my brothers bedroom computer hooked up to it , then I have my LG blu ray player that streams netflix hooked up to it. All the important devices are connected with CAT 6 LAN Cords. Speeds look good. If I see an issue I will report back Thanks

I upgraded to Padavan .045 and see no issues. Has anyone upgraded and if so, do you see any problems?

reply to FTBoomer
Yep no issues here...
