    0-10K Poor man's download rig!

    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.

    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

    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 ?

    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

    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...
