• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

You could just give it the same settings. Just change the host name of the new router to the same one, set the mtu, and anything else and it will work. Unless they just registered the mac, then all you have to do is set the new router to clone that mac LOL. It's impossible for them to lock you down to the one they gave you. IMPOSSIBLE. Unless you have a modem/router combo like my DSL modem, then you're ****ed.
 
You CAN use them as strictly modems. It varies from model to model though, so you'd have to do a little more research into the topic.
 


ya i found the info thanks! and as of right now i'm not broadcasting my SSID untill i get home to reconfig the router with the new firmware. but i'm still throwing linux back on this beesch to **** with the guy back
 
Confusingboat do you have a patch panel you've wired into or just putting RJ-45 plugs on everything and having all your ports live ?

I've been wanting to do this myself. I'd at least like to get an Ethernet port in all the bedrooms.

I seriously just LOL'd. When dealing with a microscopic LAN such as yours, latency is usually a non-issue. Pretty sure adding < 1ms latency isn't gonna cause any problems.

There still is no point, their box does everything i need. It just does it slower.

It also uses more power.

Are you going to tell me 3 W isn't enough to care about? :D

I have all the rooms coming down to patch panels in the basement and I have 2ft cat6 patch cables going from the patch panels to my DGS-1224T.

3w is nothing in the grand scheme of your electric bill. And what does the modem do slower? If it's the wifi, just disable it and attach a wireless router as an access point and you'll be golden.

i'm using a punchdown switch myself its pretty simple. in the house my parents and i wired (where they currently live) we ran cat5e runs to two sides of every room and stabbed all of them down.

wired is where its at. wifi is irritating :th_thumb-down:
 
There's no such thing as a punch down switch........if you're running strictly patch panels and have no actual switch or hub (there's a huge difference) then you did it all wrong. No two ports should be directly connected to each other.

And wifi is only irritating if you don't set it up the right way. I have no problems with any of the WLANs at my house (yeah I have like 5).
 
sorry your right. i misspoke. i have my switch sitting on the punch down. and my house is just patch cables to each location
