Buy the newest device and let all the shitskins use your wifi for free goy

does it run openwrt?

>>970312

1) >>970312

2) Who cares? Ethernet is better and I don't care about cables running in my house.

>>970317

Whoops, the first link was supposed to be OP.

>>970303 (OP)

routers are a meme. they are products worse than webdev. just put a wireless card into an old box.

>paying more than $50 for a router

am i on /g/? and why would you use wifi for gaymen? the site you linked is some gaymen shit

>>970305

oh yes, there is a jewish conspiracy which caused all 10 of these guys to run open wifi

>>970337

Lady Gaga????

Insult me if this question is stupid, but couldn't you connect a wire from the antenna jack from your wifi router to the side of a metal skyscraper/building to turn the entire building into an antenna and provide wifi for the whole building?

>>970382

Antennas should be tuned to their required frequencies, which is why there are different types of antennas for AM radio, FM radio, wifi, etc. Additionally, one router connected to a building-sized steel antenna probably won't have enough power for a decent signal to noise ratio.

>>970429

It depends on the frequency of the wave. A very low frequency device actually could peirce the noise floor at moderate levels of power for a skyscrapper type building. Actually you can bounce waves off metal objects and achieve similar results with wifi going super long distance if the modem is modded to excess power specs of 802.*

>>970312

Tomato firmware is way better.

>970303

TFW the overpriced router meme became real because normies think a $200 router is that much better than a $50 one.

>>970478

Are you retarded? It's proprietary.

>>970323

If you put a sticker that says "for gay men" on something there are retards who will flock to dump all their life savings on it.

N just werks but.

>>970793

But...?

>>970303 (OP)

>11,000 Mbps

thats twice as fast as sata.

for what purpose

to get top speeds off the 10G fiber line running to your house?

>>970937

I run OpenWRT on my router and it allows me to arbitrarily set transmission power, with no regard to legal limits.

>>971211

Won't the electronics get fried at some point? Do you have a way to measure whether it actually does allow you to get whatever power you want, or is there a silent cutoff point?

>>970801

Yeah, sorry, I'm retarded remembered it being proprietary and kikepedia confirmed, so I shitposted. Anyway, are there really stuck on 2.6?

>>971213

I don't have a way to measure it, but if I increase it the router does heat up more.

>>971363

2.6 has been maintained and is up to date because anything newer sucks for embedded use.

>>971628

But it's not. The oldest one still maintained us 3.16 unless you're talking about currypatched ones from RH. Also, there are a great number of improvement in the latest versions (especially bufferbloat mitigation).

No, it's shit. Especially the 'muh gayman' button that purports to 'reduce lag' and doesn't even explain how it works.

No CFW, no WPA3 (will allegedly allow per-client credentials), EAP-PWD (allows per-client username and password with no CA needed), no buy.

Also wifi is more shit than ever thanks to FCC retards throwing a fit. Manufacturers obviously took the lazy way out by locking down their already pozzed firmware and hardcoding available channels and transmit powers. So if you're in the American continent but outside Burgerland, get fucked.

leddit spacing

I just wonder why the fuck there are no good QoS controls anywhere to stop bufferbloat. I wonder whether it's intentional on the part of (((consumer networking manufacturers))). I mean, a simple HTB qdisc, a few HTB classes, some fq_pie or fq_codel leaf qdiscs, and a few filters to classify flows would be enough for most people. Instead we get these shit opaque 'exclusive super gaymen qos' without any configurability or extendibility.

>>970804

11 Gbps is the COMBINED THEORETICAL MAXIMUM BANDWIDTH of the THREE BANDS (you can only use 1 at a time). Actual performance won't ever come close to that number. They don't even specify the backplane speed the incorporated switch has (i.e. how much data per second it can actually handle) or the PPS (how many 64-byte packets can it pass). Then there's the routing speed (how much fucking bandwidth can it get from one network to another).

leddit spacing

Besides, if you use your router like that you will get more dropped packets than dropouts in college. Also your neighbors will hate you for using 160 MHz channel width (takes up 8 channels).

>>971642

3 is bloat, 2.4 will always be the god-tier kernel revision. 2.6 is still maintained as you say.

>>970478

oh yay

I can go and try to find a specific router now so I can try tomato because Tomato won't run on the routers that I have laying around...just so I can try out tomato would be nice though

too much effort right now and you're a faggot now for getting my mind latched onto this.

so I found my router's source code. it's likely on zip or tarball.

will i be able to disassemble the code and flash my router into a better firmware? it's a lte router and as far as I know there isn't any lte capable openwrt aside from bridging the lte usb dongle into the router's usb port which should give a terrible throughput.

should I go for the project?

>>972072

If you can restore, definitely

https://invidio.us/watch?v=dXo54Au9x2Q

So excited for this paperweight. So much gay porn to download.

>>970303 (OP)

The AC band on my laptop is limited at 300.

The wifi is at 433.

I get 250 at the right spots so I just added a range extender that has the 5Ghz bands and changed my ISP's plan to a 300 line from the 1gig.

1 of ram gig even enough for 1/10th of a terabyte though?

>>973302

>falling for the wifi extender meme

hopefully you're running a wire to it to use it as an AP. Otherwise enjoy your halved data rate.

>>970937

>big time routers

It's a residential router

>>973983

What the fuck IS a big time router, anyways?

>>975329

>no per-user credentials

>no one-time passwords for guests

INTO THE TRASH IT GOES

Why the fuck would anyone want to use this when you can have per-user credentials with WPA2-Enterprise with EAP-PWD? I swear wifi standard bodies are doing this shit on purpose. I am beyond mad.

>>970303 (OP)

>ax

OpenBSD doesn't even have ac yet.

http://archive.is/91Muw

First 802.11ax router came out, not gay ming shit though.

>>978610

Israel backdoored router, fuck yeah retard!

>>970303 (OP)

Does anyone ITT actually have a justification or spending 700$ on a fucking wireless router? Is there even a justification for this? If you need range wouldn't you be farther ahead to set up a multi router system with some cheap routers that can run the firmware you want instead of blowing enough cash to actually build a competent desktop?

Are we just /g/ niggers now buying the most """high end""" shit because jamal gots to have his sheet lookin dank?

>>979081

here is how stupid consumerfags are:

>the LCD 80 -- the world's first 18 inch LCD with a simple, one step, Automatic Set-up System.

>Carrying an estimated street price of $2,999, the new monitor takes the expense and fear out of purchasing and installing this advanced desktop technology.

>Featuring a distortion-free TFT active matrix screen, the new LCD 80 offers a contrast ratio of 230:1, and a brightness rating of 180 cd/m2, providing increased color clarity and crystal-clear flicker-free images.

<look at that big contrast ratio goy, CRTs dont even have contrast ratios!

<its flicker-free goy

that's right, an 18" LCD for $3000USD in 1999

>Auto Adjustment -- On occasion, in LCD technology, some clock phase `drift' occurs due to the computer video graphics card. When this happens, images lose their initial sharpness and contrast. To eliminate this problem, Mitsubishi has equipped the LCD 80 with an automatic `drift' checker. This unique auto adjustment feature monitors the clock phase every 30 minutes and resets the LCD if any drift has occurred. Everything happens automatically and is transparent to the end-user.

<it solves advanced problems goy

and yes businessfags in charge of buying shit are also consumerfags

https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Mitsubishi+Display+Products+Brings+World%27s+First+18+inch+LCD+Monitor...-a053497549

and now you have a new fad of gsync, 240Hz, curved ultra wide and all kinds of new niggershit making LCDs cost thousands of dollars once again for the first time in 20 years

only good goyim use wifi, enjoy your brainfog and lowered testosterone

>>979172

found another interesting one

http://web.archive.org/web/20021001142139/http://www.necmitsubishi.com:80/products/home/ProductDetail.cfm?product_id=159&division=NEC

$3800 for a 21" 1600x1200 LCD made before 2003

and it's likely to come with dead pixels:

correct me if im wrong, but this sounds like source available, not OSS.

>>979844

i imagine they have terrible contrast, viewing angles, pixel density, and pixel response. i'd like to find some bigger 4:3/5:4 montitors though. the best i have are 19" from the mid 2000s. for CRTs it seems hard to get better than 20" viewable. i have some 20" IPS/PVA LCDs too but they have terrible input lag and pixel response and one even drops frames, and they all have grainy surfaces over the screen

>>983896

Thanks! I went with ubiquiti.

Wew

It's out, goyim!

>>985719

Ruckus is better.

everyone who uses wifi is a good fucking goyim, enjoy becoming a soyboy

>>971659

Good post, have an unboat.

>>979172

>every 30 minutes

At that rate I could just adjust this shit myself.

>>997135

Ruckus.

>>970304

Aren't you worried about CP packets?

>2018.936986301369863

>caring about wifi speed

>dysfunctional toy router

>not the internet quality

Shig.

If I were you I'd surely spend those on the upcoming 5G tech

>100W signal boost 8x8 Massive MIMO.

>potential 80 Gigabit with carrier aggression.

>potential 150+ Gigabit through multiple modems.

Either you get the SIM exploit or phreak some shit.

Imagine just modifying your packets can already grant you access on anywhere assuming you found the IP ranges not blocked by the ISP, or the TTL trick with a SIM plan, even roaming hacks are a thing but I don't know that yet.

>>970478

>>970801

So the shibby fork is somehow "official tomato" now?

>>979884

Tomato forks cannot fix the KRACK because of relying on the proprietary Broadcom blobs.

>>974476

Do you have to hold at least triple CCIE these days to be let anywhere near those (given that CCENT is done in kindergarden, CCNA in grades school, and CCNP in high school these days by anyone who hopes for a career in networking)?

What is a worthy successor to >>970326?

(Is it viable to still use it these days, or will it inevitably be taken over by local skids who will consider any old shitbox advertising 54Mbps max speed as an old vulnerable shitbox and therefore an easy target?)

>>1006672

How old are you? 14?

>>1006688

Go look through networking job ads. "CCNP minimum, CCIE desired" is a recurring motif you'll keep stumbling upon.

Why do routers have to look so goddamn stupid nowadays.

>>1006735

Because the only people buying routers that aren't provided by the telecom service providers are gaymers.

>>1007041

tools are the same way, manufacturers spend all their money trying to make a piece of shit look like a transformer so that idiots buy it regardless of its performance or longevity. luckily unlike tools it's exceedingly easy to make a router which is A) better than any consumer router you can buy, B) will last you for ever, and C) is super cheap. Just buy a really nice wireless card put it in a garbage old computer and then install either one of the distro's made to turn a old PC into a router or do it yourself using openbsd or some other *nix derivative.

>>1007057

Except that a regular WLAN card is not optimized to function as an access point.

>>1007077

If you mean the wireless cards that come by default in a pc then yes, otherwise no. Just go on Wikidevi look for whatever router you want, look at the wireless chip it uses and 9 times out of 10 the wireless chip it uses is available in a pcie form factor.
