Increase Upload Torrent Speed Fios Router G1100

	Member 2017-Dec-23 2:00 am [Networking] Budget Router Recommendations for FIOS Gigabit? Thinking well-nigh switching from Spectrum/TWC to FIOS Gigabit and would like to avoid the $ten monthly router rental if I can find a reasonably priced alternative. Pocket-sized 2BR flat, volition be streaming Boob tube/Movies on Amazon Prime, and also a fair bit of Torrent/Usenet utilize. Wired connectedness for Idiot box and Computer and WiFi for two phones, iPad, and Nintendo Switch. Thanks in advance for whatsoever suggestions you can offer!

(Software) pfSense	Budget router and Gigabit don't actually get together if you lot desire full line speed routing. My Netgear R7000 that was $200 at the time I bought it could only route at around 700 - 800Mbps. I just dropped $400 on a custom PfSense router and I get full line speed. The FiOS router isn't horrible and yous can buy it for $140 if y'all desire to avoid the rental. Information technology is capable of full line speed routing.

They're routers only, so you need a divide access signal or more for wireless, just they practise have cheaper options for Wi-Fi if you don't care about wireless throughput. You tin can too build a pfsense/IPFire box for a fairly low cost, and that won't be any more difficult to configure, possibly less. The linked article compares how a diy router stacks upward confronting some commercial offerings. »arstechnica.com/gadgets/ ··· etition/

	to NuMystic Notice an AC68U or R model, flash with newest Shibby Tomato, and be sure to enable "CTF" in options, for hardware NAT. Mine will practise 900+Mbit/sec in each management, backside a G1100. Perchance it would perform even better if it were the principal router.


llafsroh join:2012-06-15 Boston, MA	to NuMystic I bought an ASUS RT-AC55U two speed wireless router/mini-server from Microcenter for $70. It worx keen. 2 USB network access ports work well.

johnm304 join:2002-07-22 Wood Hill, Doctor	to sd70mac I simply installed a Ubiquiti Edgerouter Calorie-free 3 (ERL3). I paid less than $100. It handles gigabit connection with ease. But I practice agree with your comments... it does take some tinkering to get upwardly and running. I similar doing that kind of stuff, just it'south clearly not for your average consumer. I also installed a Ubiquiti WAP. Coverage is crawly. Simply it takes some configuring to get it up and running. (Full costs for the router and WAP was about $230 from Amazon, but it is a significant upgrade to me over my G1110 router that had issues with 5Ghz.) I should mention that I'g using Fios TV, but I do not own a single Fios STB. I recollect if you are using a FIOS STB, your option becomes fairly limited.

	Having a STB changes zilch. I have STBs and oasis't used the fios router in years, except during the initial activation. Once the box is activated, you don't always have to see that matter again.

Ryan Premium Member join:2001-03-03 Boston, MA	to NuMystic I highly advise anyone with a gigabit connexion and utilizes UDP services (gamers, VOIP) to stay AWAY from ERL. In that location has been a long standing effect with udp reordering that can cause performance issues (IE rubber banding in games, loss of audio quality in VOIP, etc..) The reason I stress gigabit is actually the issue is when you turn on hardware dispatch which is necessary to really handle gigabit connections. They FINALLY fixed the issue in the latest alpha release, simply this has been a pretty critical outcome that has gone on for FAR FAR FAR also long. I basically stay away from their products now. Currently rolling a QOTOM Q355G4 due west/pfsense installed and a tplink re650 access point, not exactly inexpensive, but holy hell it is prissy! For more info on the UDP Issues: »community.ubnt.com/t5/Ed ··· /1343012

(Software) pfSense	Mine is similar to to the Qotom, just a different manufacturer. It wasn't cheap, simply you get what you lot pay for. Routes gig with about zero buffer bloat and plenty of CPU to spare.

Ryan Premium Member join:2001-03-03 Boston, MA	to NuMystic The ER4 was also just released and looks like an interesting option. Basically 75% faster then the pro for only 199 dollars. Not certain if the UDP bug was specific to the cavium cpu in the erl or cavium cpu's in general so this bug MAY be present with that device as well (at least until 1.ten is released anyhow). Information technology is unfortunate considering spec wise that is a fantastic looking router, merely I can't help but feel burned by ubiquiti. Honestly ii+ years to fix a issues that should exist a CORE office of the product you are selling. Could you imagine selling ovens and non have the stove top work for that long?. Too the fact that users noticed the issue and it even fabricated it out to product release is heed extraordinary.

	to Ryan said past Ryan: I highly advise anyone with a gigabit connection and utilizes UDP services (gamers, VOIP) to stay Abroad from ERL. At that place has been a long standing issue with udp reordering that tin cause functioning issues (IE prophylactic banding in games, loss of audio quality in VOIP, etc..) For completeness: • The nature of UDP is that datagrams may or may not even accomplish their destination, let alone make it in order. Applications are expected to handle this properly or otherwise apply TCP if reliable delivery is required. • Simply specific services, such equally VOIP, may be impacted and non all services have any problems. In fact well-nigh do not. • This affects all routers based on the aforementioned SoC generation, which includes MikroTik and many others, including consumer-oriented devices. • The underlying effect was with the Cavium (SoC vendor) SDK, hence the particular above. As well the reason why UBNT (and whatsoever other vendor) have been unable to correct this themselves. • UBNT provided a workaround that avoids the consequence quite some time ago. Of those that had provided feedback at that place was no detrimental impact to performance with this workaround. This includes those with Gigabit service or otherwise with explicit gigabit-throughput testing. • The SoC vendor has finally released an SDK with what they believe is a set, and the current beta releases of EdgeOS for the ERs utilize this updated SDK. The issue has thus far indeed been confirmed to be resolved with the current beta firmwares.

I've likewise used a couple in AP mode along with a couple of the RT-N65U units in AP manner Although I recently removed my two N56U units in AP mode and replaced them with two Asus RT-ACRH13 routers that I use in AP mode for wireless Air conditioning Admission Points.

The RT-ACRH13 units are working so well and provide so much coverage, that I might try removing my two N65U units and run into how but the two RT-ACRH13 units work with both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz WiFi with my dozens of devices.

(Software) pfSense	What's your buffer bloat like? If you lot're on Windows, you can open a command prompt and type: ping Google.com -t . That will practise a continuous ping. Take note of the ping times. While that'due south running, do a speed test and note what the ping times increase to. (Control+C will terminate the continuous ping when you're done). A good router will only have an increment of a few milliseconds.

Take annotation of the ping times. While that'due south running, do a speed test and note what the ping times increase to. (Control+C will cease the continuous ping when you lot're done). A good router will only accept an increase of a few milliseconds. That is so limited in scope that it isn't relevant. In that location are many factors that come into play. To start with FiOS gigabit is provided via GPON which (like the entire internet) is a shared service. Typically 16 or even 32 households can share a unmarried GPON port which provides 2Gb downstream (provider -> clients) and 1Gb upstream (clients -> provider). Utilise by others on your split up combined with GPON profiles volition have a considerable impact beyond your router. Each routing point between you and your ping destination (google.com in this example?) volition farther potentially impact latentencies and potential buffer-bloat. And for what information technology is worth, buffer-bloat is far over-emphasized. I've seen those spending days of countless attempt to heighten their artificial speed-examination grade from an 'A' to an 'A+' when they weren't even seeing any result with even a 'B' grade. Speed tests and the like are intended to be used every bit a diagnostic utility to help when problems are seen. And for what it is worth, if "device a" is meeting the end-user's needs just fine then why should irrelevant artificial tests be introduced as a comparison? Each person's needs are different and at that place is no single solution that suits for everyone.

Yes that is the unabridged nature of UDP, merely to the degree this was happening tin can and did (for me) cause bug with diverse games and for others VOIP services. I realize the issue was with Cavium, only Ubiquiti likewise decided to utilise that cpu in their product and sell it. They're responsible for making sure their product works every bit advertised including the components they decided to integrate. The issue should accept been worked out with Cavium a lot faster or recalls/refunds should have been made to those impacted and more sensation/communication about the effect should accept been done. 2+ years we are talking on a production they continued to sell and market place without piddling advert most UDP basically being broken.. The workaround y'all mention was to basically disable the other CPU if I recall, which severely limits the advertised performance. They're honestly lucky they weren't hit with a grade activity..

(Software) pfSense	to Shady Bimmer Only saying its irrelevant doesn't make it and then. The routing points between you and Google don't change based on how saturated your "terminal mile" connectedness is. Its absolutely a adept measure of the functioning of your router. Its not the only measure, but is one. Many people live with and are happy with a certain level of performance because they remember that's but how its supposed to be. Better is better no matter what ane's perspective is.

	to Ryan said past Ryan: Deplorable, simply I retrieve your understating the upshot quite a bit. Yes that is the entire nature of UDP, but to the degree this was happening can and did (for me) cause problems with various games and for others VOIP services. I have done a fleck of research on the outcome and empathize it well. No your agreement of the workaround is not correct and it does non disable whatever CPUs which was a common misconception. Every bit a real-world case there are many that take verified they experienced no performance impact using the workaround. In fact, based on my understanding of the issue such a workaround could even improve performance up to a threshold. That threshold was the business concern and to date nobody has been able to actually hit that with this workaround, even on an ERL. UBNT was at the sole mercy of Cavium - they are non the but customer and are only a pocket-size consumer of Cavium sales. Every bit already noted there are many devices that are similarly impacted. In that location are a few threads in the UBNT forums where this was tested with several devices and confirmed, yet nobody ever complained about those other cases. And with respect to those other devices, very few are likely to see a set: MikroTik and UBNT are about the merely ones where this would be expected. And no, UDP is not "cleaved". There are a very large number of WISPs and similar providers using UBNT gear that do non have any problems, nor take their respective clients. Such re-ordering is non uncommon on the internet. The issue hither is that a Cavium-based ER would itself forward enough datagrams out of guild to be noticed past specific services at times. The issue had really existed for years prior (on other devices) without complaint. . . The issue was actually blown out of proportion - non that at that place weren't those that were impacted but it was fabricated out to exist a much bigger deal than information technology really was (is).

Ryan Premium Fellow member join:2001-03-03 Boston, MA	Ryan Premium Member 2017-Dec-28 11:39 pm Guess will agree to disagree.. For me and the mode I use UDP (for online gaming) dealing with condom banding and others having audio cut in and out with voip is the very definition of broken. UDP and the applications that use it are meant to handle this to a certain caste, only for you to put this on the application not handling information technology as it should is absurd. The fact of the matter is I never experienced this with inexpensive routers I've used in the by nor my pfsense box. I spent money for a device with know issues that was and is continued to be sold. I can't speak for other devices that use them, but they too should be responsible for supporting their customer base of operations. Over again if they're at the mercy of cavium so refund those who are affected. There were reasons I didn't practice the workaround, but don't call back exactly what it was. Maybe tomorrow I will dig through the thread again as I could accept sworn in that location were issues resulting from it.. Regardless I concluded up eating the 100 dollars switched to pfsense and chosen it a mean solar day. People who read this can at to the lowest degree make up one's mind if this is acceptable to them prior to purchasing, something I wasn't aware of..

And is very inexpensive. And provides very high throughput over the WAN and LAN. I will continue using mine as long as possible since it has been so stable over the years and has provided fast and reliable speeds.

Rubber banding is typically what is seen with FPS/TPPS when in that location is heavy latency or a lot of packet loss betwixt you and the servers OR other players. UDP is used for this very reason small packet loss may not even noticeable, heavy loss in this case can cause visual discrepancies instead of all out disconnection. Here is an example youtube video of Safety banding. In this example this was due to server performance, only you become the thought. At the end of the video you see the other player "Rubber Band" back to a unlike position. This is caused from discrepancies between either yourself, the other actor, or server. With the ERL this was basically a discrepancy betwixt what you lot are seeing and the residual of the players/server. It wasn't all the fourth dimension either as the nature of UDP makes it resilient, just it would happen a good 3 or 4 times for each hour long session (sometimes more sometimes less). »www.youtube.com/lookout man?five= ··· WdmZNMtA
