Re: When your Extreme router is too slow... (5N)

[Chuck Miller via 4D_Tech]

I am using an Asus router and am very happy with it. There is a third party 
guru who is always patching and fixing. I am not on a gig network but 
constantly get wireless speeds close to what my sip (RCN) provides

Regards

Chuck

After the last big company router stopped getting software and security 
updates, I switched to using routers that support pfSense. It is a highly 
regarded open source router implementation which includes OpenVPN. Lots of 
hardware options are available including running it on your own. Here is a 
place to start. Just be sure to ask which hardware options support gigabit WAN. 
I know the lowest end option they have maxes out well below 1000 Mbs.

Robert, Check out the Cisco RV routers. The RV042 has both OoS and VPN.

When your Extreme router is too slow... (5N)

[Robert ListMail via 4D_Tech]

Sam, 

I upgraded my home/office to Gigabit internet today and quickly discovered that 
the WAN to LAN routing performance of my 5th generation Apple AirPort Extreme 
is lacking in a big way. I can get as high as 941 Mbps downstream directly 
connected to my SB-8200. When I go through AirPort Extreme router, I’m getting 
552 Mbps at best. Can you recommend a high-performance internet router for the 
modern age? Also, the Apple router was always lacking in features such as: no 
QOS and no VPN. So, I’m interested in more of a full featured product. What 
router has the most street-cred?  :)   Just, kidding, so, what router should I 
consider that you’ve been happy with where you’ve had a WAN capable of Gigabit 
speeds?

Thanks,

Robert
