 Posted: Sun, 7th Aug 2011 16:13 Post subject: Wireless router @ cable modem. how and which? |
|
 |
Hey, so I have a wired cable modem from my cable provider. It has one ethernet output.
I want to surf with my notebook and computer at the same time. So I thought about getting a wireless router with LAN ports. The computer will be connected via LAN cable and the notebook wireless.
Which type of router do I need for that and what would you recommend? Any special setup I have to keep in mind? 
*don't want to spend tooooo much on the router either... <50€ possible?*

I heard that routher with internal modem won't work and that is the problem here  I just want the router to route and not connect to the net. I have three different wireless routers here from telekom and none of them seem to work

I would suggest Linksys WRT54GL as well. Drop a DDWRT or Tomato custom firmwares, and you have a pretty amazing capabilities.

Yeah, you seem to be able to add an ad slot too. Crazy stuff.
And I realized that I don't have USB 3.0 on my motherboard and will get the 1TB USB 2.0 HD

I am looking for a N router that would offer same greatness as the WRT54GL... So far no go.

Thanks guys, I ordered the 1 TB HD and the Linksys
And no siber seski taym (for now  ) I actually wanted to have a nice webcam for two purposes:
1. Skype
2. FacetrackNoIr
Cam can wait until I decide which one is the best for both *MS HD-5000 looks good and cheap *

Why not just use the phone? Hook it up and find a software that emulates webcam HID?

that
The wrt54g(l)(s) is a good choice.
The cheapest choice is a DIR300 from ebay for ~10€ - works with dd-wrt, too. great as repeater if you need one one day.

Wait what? I had such software for my nokia 6630 but there is nothing useful for android as far as I know... Not much need for it when webcams with 720p cost 25€

Fucking WRT54GL. Constantly capping my speeds!
this is my result when I attach my cisco directly to my pc.
and with the wrt54gl connected via lan, I have incredible 20mbit/s download speed. Fucking piece of shit. I will install tomato just to give it a last chance and if it doesn't work, I'll go to alternate and grab the next best whatever, because that can't be as shitty as this pos.

Updated from firmware 4.30.14 to 4.30.16 and it went from 20 mbit/s to 43mbit/s.
Strangely I always had like 40mbit/s and just recently it dropped. Will also try tomato.
