    How ISPs work?

    I am afraid that is not going to be enough. If you are going to do it cheap as described by "dpandey" then you should be quite good with networking and linux, or hire somebody to do it for you. I personally feel rather than the technology hurdles, it is the distribution that is going to be an...

    0-20k Last upgrade in 2011 so what is required now?

    Moving your frequently used programs and data to an SSD would result in better performance.Saw plextor M5 Pro in amazon lightning deals a few days back. The CM Extreme Plus is a not so good power supply (noisy and lots of ripple), it is better to change it for a good unit like Seasonic S12-II 520.

    From 3 ft away with a dell lattitude with intel 5300 wifi adapter I get 5.8 MB/s when transferring a 100 MB file from a usb drive connected to my WDR4300.

    TP Link 1043ND + DD-WRT: Very slow upload

    The TP-Link routers are well supported in Openwrt. Why not give it a try ? Make sure you download the appropriate firmware for your router hardware version. Better revert to stock firmware and flash the "factory" image

    TP-LINK 1043ND vs TPLINK 8970

    I was going to ask you about that, yes that is the maximum you get from an external hdd connected to the usb port of your router. I am getting the same only. This is the irrespective of getting connected via wired / wireless. I have a Banana Pro (similar to Raspberry Pi) in which I have...

    TP-LINK 1043ND vs TPLINK 8970

    Will check the wifi speeds for file-transfer from NAS in the evening and let you know. There is something wrong with your setup if your are getting only 300-500 KBps over wifi. Can you check with encryption off, if you have enabled in the router ?

    TP-LINK 1043ND vs TPLINK 8970

    I checked my wife's laptop downstairs, it connects at 54 Mbps (Atheros 2427) has 3 bars for signal strenth (out of five) connecting to my WDR4300. I checked speedtest and it easily saturated my internet connection. I could not do a file download test from NAS.

    TP-LINK 1043ND vs TPLINK 8970

    How are you measuring the transfer speed ? What is the connection speed reported by the wireless adapter in windows ? Which is the wireless card in your laptop ? Before we get into replacing the routers, let us analyze the problem at hand step by step

    TP-LINK 1043ND vs TPLINK 8970

    Yes the WDR4300 has 3 x 5 dbi antenna I dont think adding the 8968 in the same location and disabling ADSL in the 8970 will help at all. What might work is to terminate the adsl with 8968 in the place of 8970. Then move the 8970 to a centre and elevated position (away from walls) of your house...

    TP-LINK 1043ND vs TPLINK 8970

    My AP is always on, without it my wife's laptop downstairs (20 ft separated by 1 wall) cant get internet. With the AP there is no issue inside the house, and even outside to around 15 ft. I will try to do some measurements today and let you know.

    TP-LINK 1043ND vs TPLINK 8970

    I havent really tested the transfer speeds across wireless in my setup. The wireless transfer speed depends on several factors like distance between the nodes, the wireless capabilities of each node, encryption etc. I dont think any brand has a significant advantage in this case. I suggested an...

    TP-LINK 1043ND vs TPLINK 8970

    Since you have already purchased the 8970 and if the wireless range is not upto expectations, configure an accesspoint (wired) at the desired location. You dont need a very expensive router for setting up an AP, a TP-Link 841N would do nicely. I have a TP-Link 4300 router as my gateway in my...
