I have several routers in my setep. I have a WRT300N as the main router and DHCP server. I have a few WRT54G routers set as wireless APs with DHCP turned off. I currently have QoS set on the main router only. Do I also need to set QoS on the WRT54G WAPs? or would that serve no purpose since...

unfortunately I can't afford to set up a linux box as the router. Can someone please tell me the ports that I should set to higher priority?

Well i had QoS set up on my computer but I want it to be a global setting. Instead of setting it up based on my IP should i instead set QoS for 'Applications?' The only apps in there by default are Skype, MSN messenger and Yahoo messenger...I dont care about any of these... I want the...

What about using the Sveasoft Talisman firmware? I was looking at their features and it seems like they have some bandwidth limiting tools. Does anyone have experience with this?

I just checked out limewire and I blocked the default port but I saw some options in there where is just listens on a different port to get around firewalls... Any ideas?

I am switching to a 7Mbs Cox business cable line this week.. I spoke w someone from covad regarding a T1 and they tried to convince me that for 40 users a T1 is better than a cable line... can someone please confirm that im not crazy and that the cox line will be much better? They said the...

This is in a fraternity house, there are no such policies...and as you can probably imagine its near impossible to police the computers... Also since my network uses only switches will WireShark not work? Is there any other way to identify who is using the bandwidth? Im suprised that...

How would a proxy server help me? Also is my WRT300N robust enough for this many users? I also have a BEFSX41, should I return the WRT and just use that since im not using the wireless on the WRT?

I have a LAN w 40 users sharing a T1 and I am having a problem with the internet slowing down due to certain users downloading too much on their computers. Unfortunately there is no way for me to easily check their computers for P2P programs running and anything else that could be sucking up...

Ok, back on topic. The problems persist. It takes a long time for users to get a DHCP IP from the router somtimes. My mail client will only connect to the servers every once in a while. The network seems slow. Should I replace the router? I was thinking of avoiding another home office...

I have the T-1 modem then the BEFSX41 acting as the DHCP server giving out 192.168.168.1XX addresses to the clients. I have two 24 port netgear switches and a 8port switch connected to the BEFSX41. all of the cat5 ethernet connects to the switches to the clients... The network was a mess so...

i dont see those options in my setup page on my router.. any ideas

does it matter that I am using a befsx41 and not a wrt54g?

any other thoughts?

well do you think this is what is causing the network slowdown? I dont want to upgrade unless I know that the router is the bottleneck
