I fixed (found) the issue at our shops internet! I unplugged EVERY internet crap cord/router/wireless.


I went DIRECTLY from our Qwest router to the front computer...internet is FAST like it should be!


SOO...now wtf? I need to get the other 2 computers online though (wirelessly preferred)

Ideas????

Perhaps you've got a shitty router or your signal might be losing strength because you've got to much trying to run. You could get a cable signal booster (I had one years ago) that will help send the signals a little better.

What type of internet access do you have? Cable, DSL, Dialup, lol.

Here is the router I have Rangemax 240 (http://www.netgear.com/Solutions/HomeNetworking/WirelessNetworking/RangeMax240.aspx). Right now I power 3 laptops and 1 desktop computer through it. Many times all 4 on the internet at the same time and I've noticed no difference in speed over just running one computer. Although I had to go from a $50 POS router to a $200 Netgear. Oh ya, and I can be pretty much anywhere with in 1000 feet of my router to pick it up.

Congrats on going the extra mile and being the true genius you are! If this doesn't prove to everyone that ED is modest, nothing will!! :)

Go down to the local [insert name of store] and get yourself a Linksys Wireless router and throw all that other shit out! Linksys is owned by Cisco which is the company that wrote the majority of the IP protocols in the first place. The other brands are generally made in China using ripped off designs (not all) under the lack of copyright protection afforded by a communist government. You will probably pay a couple extra bucks (maybe even $20) for it most likely, but it will work and not cause you grief. And you will be supporting a company that employees at least one of your customers.

Oh ya, and don't go spend thousands to have some computer geek go to your shop to "Set It Up". Just get a friend that has a decent understanding of routers to help ya out. Its not hard.

I've actually had 2 of their routers. 1 wired and 1 wireless. Both did ok but not as good as the Netgear. Plus both died after about a year or so of operations. I've had the Netgear running non stop for almost 4 years.

Linksys is good, don't get me wrong. I've got friends that swear by them. But for me they didn't work to long nor as good.

We'll get things taken care of. Along with what i already sent you I have some other ideas to get you up and running beautifully. You need to get away from the home setup and become a true office network. You like it a lot better, and not have to deal with cheap linksys/netgear routers etc.

and as to why your front computer runs beautifully directly connected...well hmm lets see. maybe because your original setup had the network all going through a POS hub that's wiring went from the dsl modem to the shop computer and then back to the hub and then to the front computer. your last IT guy must've hit the beer before doing the setup ;)

See you saturday.

You need to get away from the home setup and become a true office network.

His bandwidth needs are well within the consumer products capabilities. He really doesn't need to spend the money to move beyond that.

This set-up would be fine for what he needs:
Modem > WRT54G (or Equiv doing the authentication with Qwest) > landline to main boxes (wireless if you really want, but not needed) and wireless to iPhone.

The WRT54G or equiv is totally fine, anything beyond that is overkill. I have this set-up at it is fine and has been for several years.

A. Modem > WRT54G > Family Side of Network (wired and unwired)
B. Modem > WRT54G > Cisco 800 Series (ECT/hardware VPN) > Cisco 7960, Cisco Unified Comm Client, Meetingplace or WebEx.

I have A and B running at the same time 12 hours a day and the little 'ol WRT54G does just fine. That is with a whole other person running over software VPN on the 'Family side'. Considering the load coming from the IP comm end of B and the load of a software VPN client sitting on A, it is good and stable on both ends. My network needs far exceed anything ED could come up with when at work, home is another issue, but given what is on his work boxes (customer data), they shouldn't be doing any P2P sharing anyway for infosec and liability reasons.

If you had any negative Linksys experiences in the past I suspect it is a couple years back and pre-Cisco acquisition and resulting improved quality control.

Syrythius
12-26-2007, 07:14 PM
the comment had nothing to do with bandwidth. It has to do with having an actual network with security, management, firewall, monitoring, etc. The linksys and netgear wireless routers are not what i am knocking. They are not solutions for security withing a company network, they are just your basic wireless modem with some encryption. I am moving him to a setup that has the the cable modem/dsl modem connected to a firewall appliance that just happens to have wireless capabilities. Sonicwall TZ180 wireless

That is what I mean by having an actual company network instead of a home setup.

Ok guys you have gone way beyond what Ed asked for in the first place. Any old router will work just fine for Ed's situation he says he want's to hook up another two computers to his wireless network. A bloody network consisting of three systems doesn't require a commerical Cisco router. That is way beyond over kill. Simple Security practices will provide all of the protection Ed would need. like IE strong passwords, backing up sensitive data off site, not download the interweby pr0nz on work computers -=X It's pretty easy to setup home level routers for a network. If you need help or want some advice about the network send me a PM or e-mail. lol you know how to get ahold of me. Just don't go crazy buying all this crap these guys are talking about.

I disagree, linksys quality has gone down hill and is iffy at best, Netgear is far superior in strenght now. To do it right though cisco all the way, however this will cost you money. We do wireless for all of our warehouses across the states, I will give you a call with some suggestions.

You are correct in all that you have said, however none of us know what kind of "noise" is at the shop and what could be sapping the strength of the device he is using, there could be other networks broadcasting on the same channel canceling or partially blocking his signal, if this is the case he could simply try different channels and see which one provides the strongest signal. The home market signal boosters are crap, telling eric to get one of those is like Tyson telling you chrome valve caps provide counterbalance to the wheel weights on your rims.

Linksys have proven to me to be the WORST wireless products EVER...from their wireless cards to their routers. My best success is with DLINK wireless stuff. Now I use it at my house and never have disconnects. With the Linksys, I was getting disconnected every 2 minutes.

Is it noise or the fact that his office is in a concrete-walled building?! I'm willing to bet it's a combination of both. I don't have experience with the "signal booster" bullshit but I do know the DLINK wireless router I have has worked so good so far that I rolled up my 100ft Cat5 cable and now my 24" imac rolls on wireless only -- and I'm online every minute that I'm home.

Haha you hit the head of the nail dead square. Concrete = number 1 enemy of any wireless signal. And the higher freqency the worse the the signal will penetrate concrete. But there are ways around that problem like placing the router up in the rafters above the walls -=X

Matt, as long as the wireless appliance, whatever brand is inside the building the RF will stay there as well, Im sure that he has "blind spots" however if the router is centrally located in the the maint. area and the pc by the register stays wired he should have no issues with acquiring and maintaining a signal if there are no other devices providing interference. I have been to your place, when you are in an area such as yours it is hard to get and maintain a signal because of interference, things that contribute to this are microwave ovens, landline phones operating at 1.8 GHz (thus the inflated price of the old 900MHz phones and the new 5.8 GHz phones, other peoples wireless appliances operating on the same channel you are, etc...

No offense intended to anyone (if I do I don't really care) but why wasn't connecting directly to the router the FIRST step tried and not something Eric had to do himself?

Step 1 of teching any issue (networks, computers, bikes, etc.) is to narrow down the possibilities by eliminating variables. Without looking at it, you will need to take it step by step, component by component even to the physical wiring/connectors sometimes.

Argue as much as you guys like but 90% of the components, including the Wifi chip, are the same in most brands. Linksys QC declined after the Cisco acquisition not just because of their component choices but because they tried to shoe horn the Cisco OS into a relatively stable Linksys platform.

Best part is when the IOS bugs show up in competitive products. Greatest form of compliment and all that. I vaugely understand how the bands feel when their stuff comes back in others products. Funniest part is when Cricket went 100% Chinese on their wireless network but somewhere along the line the patches made to the Cisco stuff never made it to the stuff they bought. Course you never hear that stuff.

but because they tried to shoe horn the Cisco OS into a relatively stable Linksys platform.

Unfortunately hiccups happen when you realign products to fit into an overarching product strategy, my understanding was that was a narrow window that has long been since closed, and same could be said for Scientific Atlanta and the whole set-top box piece. Fact is that the interoperability you are going to be seeing over the next two years is pretty frikkin cool, and you won't be seeing it from netgear, dlink, juniper or anyone player in the space, as there really isn't one. The joys of being the Gorilla.

As for ED and his office network, I personally have no idea who set it. Appears to be plenty of network jockies here, sloppy seconds on the website was bad enough, you guys are welcome to that stash. Hopefully the account info has been located so whoever touches the office network won't break the tittering tower of babble. And whoever does, make sure you write all the authentication settings down somewhere and tape. Then text it to ED and email his edrperformance.com address. So it doesn't get lost like all the current stuff.

However, I (and others) were able to find some other issues and get those sorted out (which may have been contributing factors OR symptoms of another problem.

It's easy to stand on the sidelines and throw stones AFTER THE FACT. I'm just glad that they are getting it remedied. I DID offer to come in and redo his wireless and his router. I also offered to install a different router for testing purposes - the problem was trying to schedule a time we could do it. Most of us "tech geeks" have real jobs and it was hard enough just coordinating a time to HELP.

Eric, I'm always here to help as much as I can, and if you need help CALL me... I've been BUSY, but things are FINALLY slowing down and I can come up for air at work. (I've been so busy that I haven't even been on the forums much the last couple weeks.)

BTW... I don't need to say what kind of certs I have or how many servers I manage. I'd rather people DON'T KNOW... because otherwise they all "call me for help" when they can't figure out how to install Java, or "get this weird error message when their computer starts..." LOL!

*jumps on her soap box*

Little boy...I think you need to take a seat and calm the fuck down!

I can assure you that the "chicks" I bring home aren't from Evercrack. You could only dream of what happens in our house! :gasp:

Now take your little "game" and point it elsewhere.

Wow, that added so much to this thread :handclap

I could care less about what happens in your house but do appreciate the personal insults. Nice :)

Again, the issue here is why Eric's network doesn't work to his satisfaction. Who gives a shit about anything else? Focus people!!!!

Uno Mas:

Q: Is the issue resolved to his satisfaction?
A: I did this, that and the other....
Q: Again, did it get resolved?
A: Uhh, no.

I owe YOU nothing of an explanation. Neither do Paul or Mike. My responses in this thread are finished at thi point.
Since you have no fucking CLUE what has been done to all the computers and equipment at EDR to this point, you can STFU and take a back seat in this discussion. There has been ALOT done to fix MANY issues that were symptoms and contributing factors to all of EDR's problems - you just wouldn't know that because you didn't get involved.

Fucking pot stirrers :6:

Eric knows how to reach me and now that I have time available (something I didn't have earlier this year), I will be happy to help Eric as he needs it. My offer stands to redo the wireless and network. All I need (needed this fall to move forward) is the router and the time frame that I can take his business computers offline to make the changes.

Closed because

1. I can (GOD that feels GOOD!)
2. I know all parties and the humor is not getting across on all parts
3. we fixed the system. Seems the wireless router that both Bill and Paul said was defective, was. Hard wired all systems and now i can download porn super fast!
4. Group hug everyone. Even those that work in cubicles for a living... LOL

:D
