I haven't used anything mikrotik, but the ubiquiti long range stuff is pretty amazing.

>>57933331
I want to get a new router but I have my desktop hooked up on Ethernet and the only thing I'd get is better WiFi on the shitter

Mikrotik for routing. Ubiquiti or other for wireless.

>>57933486
you do realize a router does not need WiFi right? It all about handling packets

>>57933516
I'm saying that's the only real advantage id get out of upgrading

>>57933550
you would upgrade a AP then why would you use a shitty combo router/ap

>>57933562
>why would you use a shitty combo router/ap
Because there are decent such combos e.g. the WRT line.

This running pfsense. Then get some ubiquit AP for wireless and some switch capable of VLAN tagging.

>>57933696
Why the fuck does a router have audio ports?

>>57933730
cause it a NUC with more Ethernet ports,upgradable ram to be able to run pfsens

>>57933514
this

>>57933768
that's not a nuc, that's a shitty, shitty inefficient non-free mini computer that's not open source and it does not respect your freedoms

>>57933730
It is more of a computer that can be used as a router.
>>57933331
Was thinking of buying one of these for fun / intercepting traffic of people who are at my house. Need to still wire up my house with CAT 6 though so I should probably do that first.

>>57933836
you can install any os on it thus is can respect your freedoms

>>57933331
I fell for the mikro. It is not entry level. You will be swimming in network config shit you didn't know existed. Gave up after about 6 months and bought a fancy Asus. No ragrets.

>>57934195
It is entry into the world of enterprise.

which mikro did you get?

>>57933730
It's an embedded fanless computer platform allowing various hardware configurations like DIN-rail mounting, 4 GB Ethernet ports, LTE and so on. It only draws around 4-10W. I choose to get the version with 3 extra Ethernet ports and installed pfsense on it. Works great to forward IPTV and IP telephony while securing my network.

The alternative is to use my ISP provided router (if I want that IPTV and telephony) that they have remote backdoor access to.

>>57933768
It's actually running a AMD A10 Micro-6700T SoC.

>>57933836
Why do you care? You are browsing 4chan on a hardware device that don't fully respect your freedums. Because face it you don't have access to the CPU's microcode.

>>57933331
Anyone here run an OpenVPN server on a hEX? I heard it support hardware accelerated encryption so I was wondering about performance.

what is the best non-NSA botnet router with ac wifi and gigabit ports? does one even exist?

it was part of the snowden leaks. im not going your google search for you faget

>>57934431
Dirty cow affects 99% of routers currently and there are probably more unpublished exploits.

Those people working at NSA got a man on the moon 40 years ago while the average /g/ poster (you) wouldn't have any ideas where to start even if you have all the resources in the world. I wouldn't rule out backdoors.

Question /g/ :
I'm living with normies that are fucking up the connection with their fucking streams and I have to use the router/box/garbage-device that my ISP is giving us.
Would getting a router connected to this thing help handling packets better and limiting their wifi connection ?

>>57934465
Post source faggot.
Snowden leaks showed that NSA intercepted Cisco shipments and flashed backdoored firmwares on their routers/switch.
That's a very different things than what you are saying.

>>57934514
That's not an hardware backdoor faggot.
I am asking you to provide sauce on backdoors implemented at hardware level, not some bug in the linux kernel or whatnot.

>>57934514
>Those people working at NSA got a man on the moon 40 years ago
10/10

>>57934572
They wouldn't be backdoors if you know there were backdoors. Cut the bullshit questions for a second, it sounds like you're more interested in being "right" than about the actual topic.

>>57934413
You complained about muh freedums. You are a hypocrite because if you were a true believer you wouldn't be able to use any modern computing appliance. I'm quite happy with the device I bought because it allows serial console access to both bios and pfsense.

>>57934652
I am stating facts while you are spewing shit not even the most paranoid thinfoil hat would even consider possible.
I will repeat it for you: there is not a single evidence of hardware backdoors actually being used to exploit shit.
The faggot at the FBI even had trouble cracking the encryption of a stone age old iphone they had in their own hands.
You are saying that those very same faggots that can't crack a phone actually use backdoors implanted in CPU microcode to exploit shit remotely.

>>57933486

Same here.

My Arris router/modem combo sucks by /g/ standards but the wifi covers my whole house and I run my desktop PC wired anyway and get my full speed from ISP. Really cannot justify spending $100+ on some fancy equipment for practically zero improvement. I haven't speed tested wifi, but I can stream porn while on the shitter no problem.

What exactly should I be looking for in a router? Furthermore, how would I go about learning the ins and outs of setting up a router, software wise?

>>57934981
>I replied because I had 30 minutes to waste and the bullshit you wrote was hilarious.
Do enlighten me what was so hilarious and false. The ISP do have a backdoor to the router which is implemented as a root account that I can't disable or change the password for. It's not a secret that they have it. They use it to provide remote support that I don't want. They also promise they don't use it for nerfarious reasons. The very though of a second root account on my router with login details stored in a central database scares me.

And for the freedum part it's true that you and the libreboot troll browses 4chan on a device that doesn't respect your freedums. To respect your freedums you need to be able to flash your own microcode to the CPU.

>>57935057

Is there a /g/-recommended cheap decent ADSL modem/router/AP combo device?

I know all you autists who just got their CCNA and think they're big networking boys now will cry anathema about combo devices, but fuck you. I don't care.

>>57934981
>Or most likely they were able to exploit some software bug in the turd that ios is.
Then why ask applel in the first place? I see the following scenarios to access the encryption keys:

1. They shaved off the plastic on TPM chip or whatever apple uses and used an electron microscope to extract the encryption keys. Why no one never should trust TPM like solutions. Intel's management engine is particularly fishy.

2. They used a hardware backdoor to extract the encryption keys or unlock the phone

3. They used one of the NSA programs to force Apple's hand by having them hand over backup encryption keys and access to iCloud. This allowed Apple to save face by still cooperating with a three letter agency.

>>57935210
I agree with you that having remote shell for the ISP to fiddle with every customer's router is a huge security risk.
The solution to that problem is fairly trivial tho: attach a second router you own and put it in DMZ.
Now even if your ISP/NSA/whoever the fuck implant some shit into the software backdoored router they still can't see anything more than what they alredy had.
Even in that case we are still talking of software backdoor, I repeat it for you: software, not hardware.

>>57935288
well then we can't recommend you a device, because none of them are good. Go do what you will, since you don't care. Actually, if you know what we're going to say, reject that answer, and say you don't care, why did you even ask?

Or I just roll my own pfsense box and do the trivial VLAN splitting for IPTV and telephony. It also allows me to route my IPTV to my cabin over VPN when I go there for relaxing (another fiber provider). Which shouldn't be possible according to my ISP since it's locked to them. Well jokes on them it works fine.

I also run other things in jails like sftp server, sabnzb and file server. Tell me an off the shelf router that can do that.

>Now even if your ISP/NSA/whoever the fuck implant some shit into the software backdoored router they still can't see anything more than what they alredy had.
>Even in that case we are still talking of software backdoor, I repeat it for you: software, not hardware.
Are you fucking retarded? I have not talked about any fucking CPU hardware backdoor you fucking cockmongler. My very concern in the first place was that ISP have potential full access to my private network. And in extension anyone that have access through some means to their login database.

I could be a little retard like you and buy a second router to fix the issue. Or I could just be smarter than you and eliminate something I don't need.

>>57935485

>10/100
fucking trash m8 please don't tell me your internet is actually slower than 100Mbit because that's just even more pathetic

My merlin router is connected to a public WiFi and I have a VPN set up to encrypt the connection. The problem is that sometimes the VPN fails to resolve the address and fails to connect.

What I've observed is:
-udp vpn connections gets dropped after a while. Loading Google (with the VPN connected) has a delay.

-tcp vpn connections definitely stays up longer. There's a delay as well.

-connecting to a proxy causes the connection to be ultra fast and flawless

-the vpn doesn't drop if I connect to a proxy beforehand, udp or tcp

The ideal scenario would be to set my router to connect to a https proxy THEN connect to the vpn. But I don't know how.

Anyone know what technology might be causing this? Some sort of deep packet inspection or intelligent packet dropping or something?

Not a bad choice but I've seen some complaints that the throughput is quite bad. If you only have 100Mbit connection that won't be a problem though.

>Wondering how many of the AP's I need to cover a 3000sqft two story house with basement.
Depends on how many walls there are. I'd say the minimum is one per floor. Also remember that you need the ubiquiti software to run at all time for the APs because I don't think the router runs it. You can solve it cheaply with a rpi3 though.

Not cheap either. $330ish + RAM and storage. At least it ships with a power supply.

One question I have which I couldn't verify is if it has AES-NI instruction set?

Are there any advantages to VLANs in SOHO environments? Like what would be a typical practical example of VLAN use

>>57938093
>Are there any advantages to VLANs in SOHO environments?
guest network

>>57938210
that makes sense. I didn't think about this because my AP handles it from the frontend.

>>57938202
Their modem acts as a gateway, a modem and router. And even though you are given the option to open ports, they aren't actually open.

>>57938222
you can also use it for printers, or internet of things.

Don't want appliance shit getting comprimised and then fucking with the production network.

>>57938202
I have comcast and I don't have any of their shit at all. Sure they tried to get me to pay eight bucks a month to rent some piece of trash from them, but I told them no and said I already had one of the supported cable modems and my own router. They post a list of said modems on their website.

>>57938157
Put it in bridge mode and connect it to a proper router then. It should still let you do that.

what is the point of routers with 300mb/s wifi and only 100mb ethernet ports?

>>57938038
What brand is this? I thought about making a pfsense box with an AMD 5350+ intel nic. $45 for cpu, $50 for mitx board, $40 for psu, $40 ish for used intel nic. I have ram and a case already.

>>57938290
Marketing with big numbers duh.

It also won't reach 300 mbit even under lab conditions, but don't tell that anyone.

>>57938239
>Their modem acts as a gateway, a modem and router
Yes I know. that's the default function =

you used to be able to bridge the all-in-one and disable all routing function (I had this done) that way it only acts as a modem

Then you control the routing and ports


Not sure if they disabled this feature. Knowing cuntcast they probably did. I dropped them like a cancer when they started threatening caps. Switched to a smaller ISP with a cheaper price and better speed

should i use dd-wrt, tomato, gargoyle, or something else for my router os

>>57938246
Another good point. I'm going to do this with all the less trusted garbage on my network like the network printer

that's all fine and dandy but the power usage is the killer. The idea of these little 'appliances' is that they draw a fraction of the power as a full system. Even low power desktop chips are over 15w. Add on all the other stuff, and you are at least in the 40w range

>but after reading about it, it supposedly runs VERY hot.
I got the updated revision that use the entire case as a heatsink. I also got a part that adds bigger cooling fins to the case.
>Also, AMD. Ugh.
It benches better than comparable Atoms but at 1/4 the power requirements.
>Not cheap either. $330ish + RAM and storage. At least it ships with a power supply.
Yeah not cheap but I'm a long time user of their Mintbox products. Quite satisfied with great 5 year warranty and there is never an issue to RMA anything.
>One question I have which I couldn't verify is if it has AES-NI instruction set?
It has an AES instruction set. I assume it's AES-NI since it's a piledriver version and listed as AES-NI capable on wikipedia.

>>57938296
Already posted but they are greatest ally based compulab/fit-pc. They make the Mintbox product line and contributes 5% of the sales to the Linux Mint foundation. All or most of their devices are fanless and use the case as a heatsink so they can run quite hot on the surface.

Their devices are quite a bit more expensive that a homebuilt solution. I get their products because their stuff is small and fanless. My network central is located in the breaker cabinet so it only fits a small device and the fitlet is really small.

>>57938404
If you want wireless that doesn't suck ass your only options as a consumer is a ubiquiti AP or a top of the line router breaking your wallet from linksys or asus. If you have large areas to cover requiring several APs then Ubiquiti is prefererad. I find that most routers have too few ports so I might as well get a switch to wire up the 30 cables in the house.

Not very hard to do. Just keep Googling. Lots of tutorials+Mikrotik wiki/forums are quite helpful.
But why would you need so many public IPs? Use OpenVPN/destination NAT.

If you got the edgerouter X then it'll power the 24v stuff but only if you replace the power supply with a 12v one. The one it ships with cant' power the poe stuff unless your doing passthru.

>>57942025
I think that's only for the Routerboards. i have a CAP from Mikrotik for 2.4 Ghz because it was cheap enough. Ubiquiti is expensive, atleast in my region.

I run pfsense and ubiquiti (using their poe managed switch and wifi only) at home and at work. It's god tier.

I recently bought a HooToo Nano to use as a portable VPN client.

So far I flashed to 15.05.1 and configured everything via ethernet.

Now I am running into an issue when I plug an ethernet cable from my router to the HooToo I get internet but cannot access the router interface via browser or ssh. But can access the interface if it is just powered on with no ethernet connection running to it.

I disabled DHCP and made a static ip outside the range of my home router.

Any suggestions?

Ok, lads, I'm asking for some insight.

My current modem (circa 2000s) has a maximum downstream rate of 38Mbps. My ISP (Charter Spectrum) advertises a maximum downstream rate of 60Mbps. Daily torrenting has shown that I usually achieve a maximum average downstream of 1.75MBps = 14Mbps. This is less than half the rated speed of the modem, so I am not sure if my ISP is cucking me or my modem really is this shitty. The computer I use for torrenting is behind a WRT54Gv2 router/AP (b/g) combo, connected via 100Mbps ethernet. I also use a few wireless devices, all capable of 802.11n.

Should I buy a new modem? There is a list of modems approved by my ISP here: http://www.charter.net/support/internet/compliant-modems-charter-network but I am not sure which one I would purchase. Obviously, I would not use a combo modem.

As for a new router, I appreciate the simplicity of a router/AP combo, but I am also interested in using my computer as a router and running a separate AP. Range is not very important as I live in quite a small house, but I do want 802.11ac.
Side-note: if I were to use my computer as a router, would I need two (2) ethernet ports, or could I use the gigabit switch I already have to connect modem, computer, and AP together?

Thoughts?

I've got a gigabyte J1900 itx board running pfsense, mainly because the board had 2 integrated NIC's
it didn't like pfsense at first but I eventually got it to work and now it just keeps working flawlessly
also got a ubiquiti frisbee for wifi and I've had 0 problems with it whatsoever
it's nice having a network that just werks and doesn't require you to 30/30/30 the router every day because it's a piece of shit broadcom

>Side-note: if I were to use my computer as a router, would I need two (2) ethernet ports, or could I use the gigabit switch I already have to connect modem, computer, and AP together?
yes
a computer functioning as a router requires at a minimum 2 ethernet ports, one for a LAN connection and one for the modem

you probably should get a new modem
what do you have currently?

>>57943302
yeah, i've been thinking so, but since i'm not actually getting downstream near 38Mbps i'm not so sure... some people on forums said they experienced similar poor performance and upgraded their modem for much higher throughput, however
SB5120 version 4 (DOCSIS 1)
of the modems that are provided in the list i linked, do you know if any of them are /g/ approved?

>>57943332
>docsis 1
there's your problem
any of the docis 3 surfboards are decent

Assuming 12 cents per kWh, that'd make it 0.6 cents per hour.

>he actually did the research to refute the other person's blatantly retarded claim

I have the Ubiquity Edgerouter X SFP with an Unifi AP AC Long range. Pretty stable, and range everywhere in my apartment.

>>57946784
Just to point out the actual proportions of it's retardedness. As it turns out, it costs about $1 to run such a router a non-stop for a week, so for his $5 you could run it for well over a month.

Is Linksys WRT1200AC good? How about TP-Link Archer C7? Both support OpenWRT.

This sort of shit is why I ended up going with a pfsense box. The commercial companies aren't invested enough in security to try and stay on top of things, so your pretty much forced to go to third party.

No sane person would run a file server and all that shit on a fucking router.
You are probably a 16 years old know it all poorfaggot who can't afford multiple devices and just use a single piece of shit hacked up shitpile running pfsense as a file server and whatnot.
You also lack any kind of reading comprehension since you can clearly see that I am not the one who started the hardware backdoor argument, I just replied to some other faggot.

Hey Terry you need to go back working on Temple OS and take your meds or CIA is going to take you.

>>57948665
If you wanted security you should have used OpenBSD for the router.

Can Ubiquity or MikroTik routers log visited urls?

My work just gave me 5 old 2801 routers for free. Not sure what the fuck to do with them. Originally planned to use them in lab for CCNA but I've lost motivation at this point and figure it'd pry be better just to use packet tracer since I have several different version installers from school still.

I dunno. Any ideas what to do with a bunch of old 2801 routers?

They all came with a serial card or two, but they are 10/100. They gave me some other networking stuff too, the most valued of which were three 3Com 48 port managed gigabit switches, but one's fried and I can't get it open to fix the PSU and still preserve the integrity of the case.

Fack. TL;DR - What do with 5 old 2801 routers with like 7 or 8 serial cards and maybe an FXO or FXS card? (Don't remember specifically what they had in them)

One of them had Adv. IP Services on it (V 12 though but still) so I was probably going to copy that image to all the others with shittier images.) Is it possible to run a non-IOS image on Cisco boxes? Aren't they just gimped Linux boxes?

>>57949677
Also hey me here again,

I live with my parents (surprise surprise) and we have a Telco-provided ZTE router. We get fiber into our house and it goes through a media converted back near the sump pump then ethernet to where our router is.

Currently there is no switch in my network, nor WAPs, the router does it all.

There are no complaints that I know of about speed or reliability, worst we have is maybe a reboot once a year or something, but that in mind, is there any reason to upgrade or replace the router? I'd like to improve things for my parents, but also keep in mind that when I move out I would not expect to downgrade their network so I don't want to invest hundreds into cool ass shit when I'm just going to move out eventually.

Untangle...?

>>57949653
All *nix operating systems logs everything

so i'm aware i can install distributions like pfsense onto a machine and utilize that machine as a router, but how could i do this on a machine that already has a linux distribution installed just by installing some additional software?

at the moment im using a "ubiquiti erl 3 " works like a charm got some vlans on it and it performs well

Hey can anyone help me wtf is going on with my mikrotik?

Almost every night after like 11pm my wifi goes dumb and clogs up the whole network. My wired PC browsing starts lagging, even minimal websites like 4chan take a long time, or just plain time-out.

The only thing's using the wifi is my mom's iphone and my phone and wii-u, but she's asleep at that point. And it's not like our phones are downloading huge updates everynight for hours, it makes no sense.

If i turn-off wifi it works 100% fine, so it's not the modem/isp either.

Is there anyways to limit wifi-bandwidth or something?

On a mikrotik the best you can do is run a transparent proxy with logging... Not the greatest but its okay. Cisco meraki does amazing usage statistics/reporting

NSA does this with everything from TVs to laptops.

It sure makes you wonder about ordering things on the Internet, specially if you order from abroad and it gets stuck in customs. If you walk into a store and grab a box with a laptop or router then chances are much lower thst they specifically tampered with that one.

That FBI story was just bait to pretend there was a problem. Emails released by wikileaks have Apple admitting that they copy everything off iphones and give FBI information daily.

Hi, /g/ I recently switched to twc for my internet. I'm able to connect all my devices, phones, tvs and consoles without a problem. However, my wife's surface tablet will not connect at all. I've tried looking into the routers settings but I'm pretty tech illiterate. From what I can see though, is that it looks like the router is denying access to the tablet.

Any help, /g/? This is driving me nuts.

I still have some 10baseT ISA nics laying around in a bin. Which reminds me that I still have a ton of what Linksys popular back in the day the ln100tx I think? PCI cards. Besides the wrt54g that is what linky used to make cheap 10-20 dollar nics that worked well. Now they're shit.

Anyone ever have any experience using one of these? I was thinking about getting the new RV50X and throwing one of my "unlimited" LTE plans onto it , and using that as my home connection.. The specs on it are supposedly:
>RV50X
>CAT6
>LTE-A (D: 300Mbps U: 50Mbps)
> LTEbands:1,2,3,4,5,7,8,12,13,20,25,26,29,41
(all the ones I need, and then some.)
>external antennas
>Ethernet
>Duel Sim
>network wide openVPN routing

This thing should work out for a home network right? I can see the LTE tower from my house, and I get full bars.


Also, a side question... If I have a cell phone running android 6.0.1 how do I make it route my "hotspot" network through the VPN it is connected to? I have see people do it on older versions of android , but I guess they restructured the system network tools.. anyone know how to do it in 6.0.1 + ?
