Salt Peanuts Posted December 8, 2013 Report Posted December 8, 2013 But it really is a PITA to get this thing to play perfectly nice with the Verizon FiOS router. How so? Is it as simple as putting it in a bridge mode like the previous models?
The Monkey Posted December 8, 2013 Report Posted December 8, 2013 Yeah, that part is dead simple, but I don't like bridge mode, mainly because I don't like the damn Actiontec. But I also don't want to go through putting the AEBS in front of the Actiontec. But I guess it's working for plenty of other people, so it should be good enough for chumps like me.Anyone know any MAJOR downsides to bridge mode? One thing that confuses me is how DNS servers are handled.
grawk Posted December 8, 2013 Report Posted December 8, 2013 you lose the ability to reference other systems on your network with .local
HeadphoneAddict Posted December 9, 2013 Report Posted December 9, 2013 Comcast home service, at home. Slightly faster now, a year later.
Dusty Chalk Posted March 10, 2014 Report Posted March 10, 2014 I'm tempted to get faster -- I've been working from home a lot, and I do a lot of virtual machining -- It's been mostly ssh for now, but it'll soon be full images and whatnot, downloading disk images, etc.
mikeymad Posted March 11, 2014 Report Posted March 11, 2014 Grahame... You should just post in Slower Forum... So I got an offer in the mail today 25Mbps.. so I thought I would check. Guess I don't need to pay Comcast any more money Gets a little better over time....
Grahame Posted March 11, 2014 Report Posted March 11, 2014 Almost a Year Later, some more data points or a lower ping server
Grand Enigma Posted March 11, 2014 Report Posted March 11, 2014 Was paying $80 for 30mb... Decided I didn't need it so dropped to 15mb... A year later I am getting this (reading over wifi from phone)
Dusty Chalk Posted March 11, 2014 Report Posted March 11, 2014 So I should get it and discontinue it?
Grand Enigma Posted March 11, 2014 Report Posted March 11, 2014 So I should get it and discontinue it? Also worked for my cable TV that I had for free for 2years in our first apartment. Either lazy or not cost-effective to send out tech to swap out or remove filters
MexicanDragon Posted March 12, 2014 Report Posted March 12, 2014 I need to jack into my gigabit to see what I'm getting hardwired. **BRENT**
Pars Posted March 12, 2014 Report Posted March 12, 2014 This was a month ago, wifi on a 5th gen Airport Extreme: And tonight, same setup:
grawk Posted March 12, 2014 Report Posted March 12, 2014 I pay for 6/1.5 from comcast business. Still pricey, but no caps, none of their consumer bullshit.
Grahame Posted March 13, 2014 Report Posted March 13, 2014 I really like FiOS... Who are the other 4% in IS, and what speeds are they getting? ...
spritzer Posted March 13, 2014 Report Posted March 13, 2014 200mb's+ I can get those plans too but this one is about 50$ a month for 200GB of foreign download so why spend more.
Dusty Chalk Posted March 13, 2014 Report Posted March 13, 2014 Yeah, well, Comcast want $250 connection fee for checking the health status of my connection so I think I will stick with 'Blast!'.Sent from mah phone-blet via Tapatalk
Augsburger Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 Using Chrome Using IE 11.0 I am leaning towards always using IE 11.0 for the 1 MS ping advantage, I just wish the download results went to four decimal places to determine if the IE 11.0 download speed advantage of .05 Mb/s is significant enough over Chrome.
MexicanDragon Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 Bah. Stupid router. I need to fix the settings. (Wifi, btw. I still need to do hardwired.) **BRENT**
Salt Peanuts Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) ^ That looks plenty fast to me. Edited March 14, 2014 by Salt Peanuts
