Re: [WISPA] Router suggestions
Yeah... But when the MT config gets accidentally misconfigured, its not easy to walk the customer through reprogramming it, as it is with a linksys. Its a double edge sword. But, we've been thinking about using the MT as a home gateway simply because the Linksys's crap out so often, and because the MT can double up as a wireless repeater, for the neighbor homes. But had a question Using Linksys type SOHOs doing NAT is really easy, because things like PPTP and IPSEC passthrus, FTP compatibilty, and XBOX LIVE security, works right out of the box with a click of a checkbox. Historically, with Linux, NAT (or IP MAsqerading) is a pain in the neck, because Active FTP and PPTP dont simply work by default. It requires addition of some syntax complicated IPTables configs to allow it. Or atleast some helper modules that load at boot time. So my questions is How easy is it to solve those problems with Mikrotik OS, to support the above common compatibilty things? So a rookie techs can configure the MT in just minutes during install, equivellent to a Linksys? Does someone have a common default config to sahre that they just load everytime by default, before modifying end user specific config? Or is it easy enough, to do it from scratch each time? Or are those things fixed by default?

[WISPA] Router suggestions
I'm looking for suggestions on an 802.11 router with multiple LAN ports where I can disable the NAT capability... making it a bridge. I used to use the TrendNet TEW-452BRP, but it's EOL and the TEW-633GR is too expensive ($100). I'm looking for something in the $30 - $45 area. No Linksys, I don't want to tarnish my name. :-p - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] Router suggestions
Not with multiple lan and at 50 bucks. Why not Linksys? You can always put third party firmware on it if you want. I use DD-WRT on them when I have use one. I've even taken a few of them out of the factory case and put them in other boxes with the CPE. At 55 bucks, they are certainly cheap and with the DD-WRT, they are much more configurable.

Re: [WISPA] Router suggestions
I view the money for Mikrotik gear as a sound investment, due to its versatility. I don't mind paying a bit more for it rather than dlink, netgear, trend etc... Also - the RB750 can't be reset by typical user pushing the reset button - I hate that. Oh, it doesn't work lets hit reset button then they say they didn't touch it. Further more, the additional built in tools and flexibility make it an easy buy for me. I have thrown away loads of linksys, dlink etc gear that starts acting up or craps out. I have never thrown away a MT for acting up or crapping out from normal use through the years.

That's why I change the firmware. I have 2 hotels running a bunch of Linksys 160n's with dd-wrt for the past 4 years with no issues. At the time, was the cheapest solution and it's paid off for me.

Re: [WISPA] Router suggestions
WRT54G post Cisco buyout, yes, major major problems. One of the things I tell our customers when we sell them the WRT54GL is: We've been in this business and been through a lot of different routers and these WRT54GL's have the best proven track record in our experience. There may be other products from all kinds of vendors that may work just as well, but we have experience with these and KNOW they work well. These are routers we purchase and keep in stock on all of our trucks and at our office to sell, we don't load any custom firmware on them, and rarely do we have to walk someone through upgrading the firmware. I have had a few problems with customers having FTP issues though, the quick fix is to update the firmware in the router, if that fails we always have DD-WRT or Tomato. -Kevin On Sun, Sep 20, 2009 at 4:11 PM, Mike Hammett wispawirel...@ics-il.netwrote: Something like 80% of the time I've been to a network had Linksys, it's been broken. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -- From: Robert West robert.w...@just-micro.com Sent: Sunday, September 20, 2009 5:08 PM To: 'WISPA General List' wireless@wispa.org Subject: Re: [WISPA] Router suggestions Not with multiple lan and at 50 bucks.

Re: [WISPA] Router suggestions
We're a Linksys dealer but the new routers suck, in my opinion. Better than the belkin or netgear though so for home use, they are fine. We keep stock firmware on the home users and the new ones don't support DD-WRT for the most part anyhow. And yeah, it's easy to walk them through things over the phone with the Linksys, the netgears are a nightmare with their auto-config crap. -Original Message- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Kevin Neal Sent: Sunday, September 20, 2009 11:04 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Router suggestions WRT54G post Cisco buyout, yes, major major problems. One of the things I tell our customers when we sell them the WRT54GL is: We've been in this business and been through a lot of different routers and these WRT54GL's have the best proven track record in our experience. There may be other products from all kinds of vendors that may work just as well, but we have experience with these and KNOW they work well. These are routers we purchase and keep in stock on all of our trucks and at our office to sell, we don't load any custom firmware on them, and rarely do we have to walk someone through upgrading the firmware. I have had a few problems with customers having FTP issues though, the quick fix is to update the firmware in the router, if that fails we always have DD-WRT or Tomato. -Kevin On Sun, Sep 20, 2009 at 4:11 PM, Mike Hammett wispawirel...@ics-il.netwrote: Something like 80% of the time I've been to a network had Linksys, it's been broken. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -- From: Robert West robert.w...@just-micro.com Sent: Sunday, September 20, 2009 5:08 PM To: 'WISPA General List' wireless@wispa.org Subject: Re: [WISPA] Router suggestions Not with multiple lan and at 50 bucks. Why not Linksys? You can always put third party firmware on it if you want. I use DD-WRT on them when I have use one. I've even taken a few of them out of the factory case and put them in other boxes with the CPE. At 55 bucks, they are certainly cheap and with the DD-WRT, they are much more configurable.

I used to use the TrendNet TEW-452BRP, but it's EOL and the TEW-633GR is too expensive ($100). I'm looking for something in the $30 - $45 area. No Linksys, I don't want to tarnish my name. :-p - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com WISPA Wants You!
