The issue I'm having in particular is maintaining a connection to a remote computer in order to stream videos via iTunes to an Apple TV. Since the computers are on different subnets the Apple TV cannot find the computer.

The idea is that a user at their primary location has mapped network drives and would like those same drives accessible at a remote location without any IP address reconfiguration.

Could you elaborate please?

Hey fellas, I've been trying to get two locations to operate on the same subnet to provide a seamless transition from site-to-site (accessing NAS, local devices, etc.). What is the best method to do this? If this is not possible do I have to manually connect to the different subnet every time I...

Just to clarify, were these units the newest models? MC414AM/A

Hey fellas, I'm planning a large wifi deployment and I'm still on the fence on wether I'll be using Unifi's or Airport Expresses. I'm partial to the AE because of the 5Ghz band but I'm not very confident in their ability to seamlessly transition between themselves - whereas the Unifi's do quite...

I've seen this issue on another Mac Pro, never got down to the root of it but it seems to be a common issue among them.

:P

Something on your PC is saturating your connection, could be a virus, background applications, or perhaps a faulty NIC. Try connecting your PC via WiFi, if the issue still occurs its software related...if not, get a new NIC. *Also disable QoS on your router.

By the time this reaches the consumer level we'll all be 6 feet under. :p

Truthfully, I dont think the amp will fix anything based on your signal levels. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try though since you are experiencing other issues on your tuner card.

Strange because your numbers look great, especially your downstream power levels (almost too perfect). What type of coax cabling do you have in your home? Are all the end connections compression fittings or crimp on? If you do buy a splitter, buy this...

Sounds pretty normal, when your upload connection is fully saturated it makes it impossible for your modem to send out any other data. Typically it wont cause a complete disconnect but it will make things come to a complete halt. Might just be best to limit your upload speed and see if that...

Try eliminating the last splitter, does your modem function as a router as well? If so, throw it in bridge mode and direct connect to it. If your connection stills drops its an issue with your ISP.

How direct is your incoming line to your modem? (eg. how many splitters?) Could just a be a modem on its way out as well.

This is assuming how many hours of total work and what length of cable per drop?

Hey fellas, What would a competitive quote be to complete 70 cat5e drops in a 4500 sq ft office with drywall and a dropped ceiling for easy access? Thanks in advance.

Microsoft security essentials is all the protection we have. Would a software solution be better then hardware for 3-4 PC's?

Hey fellas, looking to equip the office with a hardware firewall. Just want to confirm its ability of fending of viruses before getting to the end user and/or spreading once there. Currently looking at some of ZyXEL's solutions, any other recommendations would be appreciated. Had an issue with...

I decided to try another router I had lying around (DIR-655) and surprisingly enough it reached 255 Mbps! I'm still confused as to why the E3200 couldn't.... any ideas?

I've tried it with factory settings, disabled wifi, disabled spi, dmz, and dd-wrt. All result in with the same 110mbps ceiling. DD-WRT actually can't break 75 mbps. I think it just comes down to the routers inability to handle those speeds.

I have. Gigabit iMac --> Modem = 250mbps dl Gigabit iMac --> E3200 --> Modem = 110mbps dl

Speeds are being tested via speedtest.net/ISP speedtest/actual download rates. All of them correspond so I know for sure the router is bottlenecking the connection.

I'm looking for a consumer-grade router to be honest.

Strange, even when reset to factory defaults speeds never exceed 110mbps. Direct connection to the modem yields 250mbps every time. Is there any particular setting I should be looking at? P.s. there are no additional switches or breaks in the line.

Hey guys, just upgraded my internet to 150/10 but with speedboost DL speeds hit 250 mbps. I currently have a e3200 and it tends to max out at 110mbps, any router recommendations that will support the full 250? Thanks in advance!

Thanks I'll give it a shot. No, unfortunately no static IP. But my server is using Synology's DDNS so it shouldn't be an issue right?

Hey Fellas, Having a hard time hosting my email service on my DS212J. To be I honest, I have no idea where to start. Info: IP Address using Synology DDNS: example.synology.me Domain: example.ca

Bump!

Hey fellas, so lets say the main line coming into the house is split using a 2-way 5-1000 mhz splitter. Would this render all high frequency TV channels unreadable? I'm asking because I tend to use 5-1000 mhz splitters since internet modems never see anything higher then that. Thanks in advance.

1. Take direct cable line and put a dual 3.5db splitter (ideal, bgi, or monster brand). - Direct one of those lines directly to your modem, the other line should go to a 5 way splitter or whatever is needed to hookup the remaining TV's in your home. (Don't leave any empty sockets, put caps on...

I've been using a E3200 and E4200 at my boss' for the past year, not a single hiccup when used as a DHCP server. You can get them pretty cheap as well.

Only install an amp after the modem connection IF you need it. If you're only connecting 3-4 more tv's depending on your signal an amp in all honestly is useless. http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Booster-484095-001-00-Bi-Directional-Amplifier/dp/B000066E6Y

The filter is typically installed by your cable provider, I've never heard of being able to buy one. They are typically installed to block tv channels, you can remove it if you'd like... you might even get a few more channels; but that would be against the law :p

Do these values seem about right? I've been experimenting with different splitter/cable setups to reduce redundancy and just wanted some feedback. Thanks!

APC XS-1300, typical running load is about 27W... so I get about 110-120 mins of runtime.
