Dual Wan Gigabit 802.11G Router
-
I've got both DSL and Cable Modem service in my house. I was hoping to find a nice router with dual wan ports so I could easily use both connections. Additionally I would like for the router to support 802.11G and gigabit ethernet I have lots of devices using the home network for video applications and it is not uncommon to have unsifficient bandwidth when several things are playing. I've found such a router made by Hawking technologies. But I've got something against that name brand. Does any one know of such a device by any company other than Hawking Technologies? Joel Johnson BTW:In case some one is wondering why I have two internet service providers there are two reasons. I prefer the cable modem connection. It has higher bandwidth than the DSL and it makes a significant difference when I am running certain applications that must communicate with some other service over a VPN (and operation that takes 10 minutes on DSL only takes 5-6 on the cable modem). Unfortunately the cable modem connection is not of utility reliability. It goes down every day between 10:30am and 11:00am and stays down for the next 1 to 4 hours.

Is that planned by the provider? Or is that the result of some coaxial connector going through thermal expansion as the day warms up? Marc Pensieve Functional Entanglement vs. Code Entanglement Static Classes Make For Rigid Architectures

1-4 hours? Get onto them and get it sorted out! The tigress is here :-D

It's unexplained. I've called the provider on the problem well more than 15 times with no resolution. They've only been able to do their "Standard diagnostics" such as checking my siggnal strength and so on (which I can do myself; the utility is built into the modem). I would drop them if it were not for the significantly lower transfer speed of the DSL connection. I don't know if thermal expansion plays a role. :confused: I can't say that I've ever observed any relationship between temperature or change in temperature and the internet connection reliability.

Tried it. I managed to get a 60% discount on the internet connection for the next six months, but that does not really solve the problem.

I think it has something to do with the Linda Lovelace router he uses. Michael Martin Australia "I controlled my laughter and simple said "No,I am very busy,so I can't write any code for you". The moment they heard this all the smiling face turned into a sad looking face and one of them farted. So I had to leave the place as soon as possible." - Mr.Prakash 24/04/2004

If you feel like playing hard ball get your own cable modem, have a structured wiring specialist check your RG-6 all the way to the service box. If either of those 2 things fixes the problem you win. Send them the bill.

Reminds me of a friend, an electronics engineer, he was checking why a customers piece of kit always failed at a certain time. No one could figure it out, neither could he, but as he was a train spotter he went out side to see one of the new high sped electric trains go past. And guess what? The kit failed just then! The local transformer was not pushing out enough power!

A custom linux router will probably do the job :)
