DGL-4300 – the current all-all-end router to get? [decent money] [wireless connections]

admin / March 3rd, 2011/ Posted in Networking / No Comments »

Q: Ive had it with crappy low-end routers.

I like a to spend on online gaming, torrents, stable LAN connectivity (b / n wireless / wired devices connected to the router), etc. .

This router is very stable and not spontaneously reboot, wireless drop, slow ride , etc. .

Near as I can tell, the DGL-4300 is the king moment.

Let me know if you disagree, and why. .

Also, no router “break-throughs” come when I must wait?

Clueless as to what you just said, so I did a quick search on these. I'll be danged.

So, let me get this straight, an old computer (say a Dell 433 celeron) with a couple of 10/100 network cards running Linux plus a good switch could function better than an out-of-the-box router?

Tell me more!

I run 69 different users through a smoothwall box, P3 450, 256MB memory. Haven't rebooted it in months (UPS) until I got a kernal update in the last round of patches, and decided to reboot it.

think about it….comptuer, with dedicated, 450Mhz proc, 256MB memory, versus a router with what…120Mhz CPU, and 16 or 32 MB memory.

Hrrm..how do you manage wireless, though? Do you have to have a third device – a wireless access point, as well?

I have never actually used a wireless router as a router, only as an AP…
