  based on users experience ok naman daw internet. but sa stress testing ko using youtube, mabilis internet kapag ang PC connected to the router, continuose ang playing ng video.

  
  
  ok naman pala so no real problems? that throughput is better for the pc connected directly to the router should be expected since walang intervening devices/long cables and consequently less contention for bandwidth.
  
  note also that the switch/es is of the inexpensive type, medyo mabagal ang switching throughput nyan so all connected pcs are contending for the packet switching capabilities of the switches, kahit hindi lahat ng packets na dumadaan sa switches ay destined for the internet, makakaapekto pa rin

  @onapathtonowhere,
  
  ok naman, na-compare ko lang ung difference.
  
  siguro, we'll also try to connect the core switch directly to the router and see if there's improvement in terms of youtube streaming :D
  
  thanks.

  good day, anyone could answer me the best,
  
  need to set up a network, i have a wi fi signal coming from access point, what do i need to have it network again in my 3rd floor using wireless connection?

  what brand will i use that is easy to configure'? i will replace also my access point unit seems it has a poor signal to me.

  Good day mga Master!
  
  Newbie po sa topic and may mga questions po regarding networking.
  Ganito po yung existing setup ng network.
  
  ISP (PLDT 4.5mbps) --> Wireless Router (Linksys e1200) --> Switch TP-LINK (TLSG1024) --> Web Server (Ubuntu 12.04), Windows Server (2008 R2) and 20 Clients (Windows 7).
  
  Plans for upgrade:
  1. Additional ISP Eastern Telecom.
  2. Replace Wireless Router to Dual Wan Router.
  3. Additional TP-LINK (TLSG1024) for additional 20 clients.
  
  Questions:
  1. Okay po ba service ng Eastern Telecom?
  2. What po magandang Dual Wan Router sa budget na max 20k?
  3. Pag po ba naka Dual WAN nagpasasama nya ung speed ng dalawang ISP. May iba kasi na nagsasabi na magksama daw, ung iba naman sabi once na down ung isang ISP automatic up ung isang ISP?
  4. Okay lang po ba na isang router lang sa 50 clients user?
  5. Baka po may suggestions kayo na network setup para po pag nagdagdag pa ng client. Mga 70 estimated number of users in the future.
  
  Thanks po in advance.

  @scientifik
  
  I suggest routers with Repeater mode built-in on stock like Asus they have a Universal Repeater mode.
  Another way is using WDS since you're buying new routers anyway might as well get identical models with high gain antennas.
  Currently testing an Asus RT N12 HP @200mw tx power + 9dbi antenna kaso sobrang mahal 3k.
  Step by step... depends sa model so refer na lang sa manual, foolproof naman mga manual ngayon sir.
  
  I'd say just avoid the linksys, mahal ang high end nila and their low end has poor signal, well justified because walang external antenna cost savings siguro nila.
  
  

  3. Pag po ba naka Dual WAN nagpasasama nya ung speed ng dalawang ISP. May iba kasi na nagsasabi na magksama daw, ung iba naman sabi once na down ung isang ISP automatic up ung isang ISP?
  4. Okay lang po ba na isang router lang sa 50 clients user?
  5. Baka po may suggestions kayo na network setup para po pag nagdagdag pa ng client. Mga 70 estimated number of users in the future.

  
  
  3. yes and no - load balancing, hindi niya pagsasamahin yung speed pero i-distribute niya yung usage sa dalawang internet mo.
  Hindi siya 1+1 = 2 bale 1+1 = 1+1 pa rin. if you have two youtube sessions 1 will go to WAN 1 and the other will go to WAN 2.
  Torrent can utilize both well because by design.
  
  4 I suggest replace the router with something more powerful, the Linksys E1200 uses a weak CPU; something along the lines of a WDR 3600/E2500 onwards/RT-N16u onwards or maybe a pfsense server will serve better. wala ako alam sa PFsense pero may pfsense thread naman tayo,
  
  5 Dagdag ka na lang ng Switches going to main router okay naman yung topology mo.

  @Blu3martini
  
  Thanks sa mabilis na sagot. Hanap nlng ako ng magandang dual wan router.
  Sana may masuggest po ung iba. Try ko din pag-aralan ung pfsense. Thanks!

  Napagana ko na din yung TPLink WR740N with Zyxel P600
  
  The problem? Luma na yung P600 ko (black)
  Inarbor ko yung P600 ni gf (white, yung bago ng PLDT ata) ayun gumana..
  
  Sa firmware lang ata nagkatalo..
  
  Malamang naman siguro gagana na ito sa ASUS RT-N10U B (na balak ko sana ibenta na agad <2 hours old> kasi di rin gumana sa luma kong modem) di ko lang talaga maintindihan yung QoS nya at panu ko lilimitahan yung bandwidth..
