Hi,
I am after some advice, I have a small home office network;
ADSL 2+ area
Wired:
1x desktop
1x server
1x printer
1x voip phone
Wifi:
2x laptop
2x iphone
1x ipad
1x apple airport express for music sharing
I currently have a Linksys WAG160N, was great until recently, the Wifi kept dropping the connected devices, and have to disable/enable the network connection to reconnect.
Now LAN traffic seams to be on the go-slow, mySQL connections, SVN, AFP/SMB/VNC all slow, wired or wireless.
I stopped using the 4 10/100 ports on the wag160n and am using a 5port 10/100/1000 switch, which has helped to a degree, but not overall.
I have now disabled the wireless on the linksys after trying different channels and configurations, only to find others with the exact same issue.
I am after a setup, that will;
1) maintain a reliable DSL connection
2) configurable firewall / port redirection for various services
3) allow a fair degree of both inbound/outbound and internal traffic
Can anyone suggest a single unit or multiple unit solution ?
