'An how faust kin it ging?'


« on: August 31, 2011, 10:40:49 AM »

Was thinking yesterday that the transfer rates over my LAN are a bit slow due to the 100Mbps D-Link wireless router I have sitting in the middle of it, so I was looking into alternatives that supported DD-WRT.
Most I looked at were a bit on the steep side since I thought I might as well get one that has a storage USB port on it as well as Gb ethernet ports, so I put it on the backburner.

Got up this morning and it turns out my onboard Gb NIC on the PC has died, so reckoned I might as well hit Priceless in Glasgow for a new PCI one.
Anyhoo, while I was on their site I found this

Hmmm, nice. I popped in here to ask for a reality check on what I'm going to do with my setup. Here's my thought and plan. I bought a Belkin N300 to bridge to a linksys wrt54g, which is fairly bullet proof, but not a speed demon. On the bottom floor and the master bedroom directly above the the belkin, I will have a Roku 2 XS(wired, along with 2 other PCs) and general wireless on the bottom floor with a 2nd Roku XD(wireless) in the master BR. I plan to bridge it to the Linksys and provide wireless to my daughter's room and the spare bedroom on the second floor, where she'll have a Roku HD and/or internet access. All of this will be done @G wireless. I'm fairly certain that it will work because there will only be 2 HD streams at most at all times on the wireless, and those 2 wireless streams will be split between two routers. I will be upgrading to strictly N in the future, but that will be a few months out when we upgrade to phones that can connect at N speeds and not cause everything to slow to G. Until everything connects at G, I see no need to go out and convert the last few pieces to N. Correct me please if I'm wrong as I've not really ever planned out a bridged network with multiple HD streams. As I understand and has proven itself at my current house, G can and does handle @ least 1 stream of HD w/5.1 per router. This will all be done on a 30 Mpbs connection. I am open to some myth busting here and some suggestions. IOW, if I'm full of it, do tell and correct.  smile

Just a quickie..I'll have to read through that, but I'd probably avoid the 5GHz band for 802.11n, stick to 2.4GHz with MIMO.

The surveys I've done recently show that 5GHz is really bad at penetrating and walls thicker than a sheet of paper.
