DrayTek Vigor 2750Vn Dual-Band VDSL Wireless Fibre...

As anyone used this router before?, While reading up on it, It as the VDSL modem built in so you can get rid of the openreach modem and bt hub and just used this...
Just wondering as anyone delt with this company and use this router with BT infinity as it makes alot of sense of just getting rid two items and just having router doing everything which takes up less space

Hi
I have a Draytek2850. It is the base model without wireless.
It is a sturdy box and it does away with the Openreach + HH3 which can clutter up the desk.
Connection is good and comes up faster than the HH3.
There is only one slight drawback in that my Draytek syncs slightly lower than the Openreach modem. This tends to give a drop of about 1-2mbits on the download. Not an issue if you get a really good speed if you are sitting on top of the cabinet!
Hope that helps

Dual band n wireless router optimization

Just configured a new wireless router. Would like to input on optimizing for ATV2.
It is 5 and 2.4ghz simultaneous bands. Router will be within 30 feet of Atv2.
Where should i begin?

My set up is this with the same dual band set up..
I have the 5 ghz looking at all of my atvs(3)of them plus the channels are set higher than my neighbors.
All other laptops in my house are looking at the 2.4 ghz Connection and not the 5 ghz.
So I have split the signals so the atvs run on a dedicated line without problems.
Are the atvs on the 5ghz band set on n band only? Besides channel settings any other. Do you have wmm enabled.
Thanks.

Draytek Vigor 2750VN BT blocking access on port 21

Hi all
Just bought one of these as it seemed the ideal solution to allow me to share some files when required.
It has USB external drives ports and I have a 1.5Tb connected with a test folder and file.
If you type in ftp://webaddress.co.uk you get to log in and access the file.
This also works with Filezilla.
I thought I had cracked this but when testing on another computer elsewhere I found that you can't get to the files or even the server part of this router.
Many hours have been spent chasing my own tail on this problem.
It now seems that BT are somehow stopping this from working from their end.
NICE!
I called BT who told me I have to ring their 0800 328 8344 number and pay someone to tell me if this can be made to work.
I also tried mapping other ports like 12345 to 21 to see if that would get around the problem. It didn't.
So is there a solution to this??
I am using dyndns.org and I see they ofer a web hop service to get around issues like these.
Will it work????
I guess I will have to try.
For anyone thinking of buying this great router for the external hard drive and file sharing features, you might need to think again.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi
Yes, sorry, I am using the BT connection to set this up and then for testing I just swap the connection to my HTC phone.
Using the phone for the internet connection all that happens with Filezilla is the domain is resolved then it says "connecting to IP address" the IP address is shown correctly and then "waiting for welcome message"
Using the browsers all you get is the website is taking too long to respond.
Earlier we set up a port forward for 443 and I can access the router control panel from the web on my phone.
**bleep**, I can't see the rest of the posts in this thread now, forgotten the other points.
Yes we have tried port forwarding for 20 and 21, in fact without the port forwarding for 21 set up I can't access the FTP using my lan connection either.
It really is odd.
I have looked carefully at the Firewall options as well without seeing anything obvious.
Thanks for your replies. Much appreciated.

How can I get Wireless N 5MHZ Capabilities Dual Band up to 300MHZ on my DV7 Laptop?

How can I get Wireless N 5MHZ Capabilities Dual Band up to 300MHZ on my DV7 Laptop?
Question for 4/18 experts ...
Or specifically, how can I replace my wireless card on a DV7-6B32US and upgrade to Intel Centrino 6230?
I have a relatively new DV7-6B32US puchased on 11/2011. Still under warranty. purchased 2 of the laptops. (also own 3 hp desktops and 1 HP All in One)
Existing card is wireless N but does not support 5GHZ or dual band. It is Broadcom 4313 wifi card and I am just realizing that the Broadcom card does not do the dual band 5GHZ wireless N. I have Linksys e4200 router which supports 5GHZ and dual band speeds up to 300 Mbps.
I called tech support and with their help identified Intel Centrino 6230 as the correct upgrade, and with their help ordered 631956-001. In the Maintenance Manual for DV7 laptop, this part number was listed for Intel Centrino 6230. Turns out HP sends an Intel Wireless N 1030 card, which is no better than my existing card. I called HP and they acknowledged that some manuals use part number 631956-001 for Centrino 6230 and some use 631956-001 for INtel 1030. So HP support said they would give refund but case manager was of no help in solving the upgrade problem. Said it was unavailable but here is your money back.
So after more searching, I see others have used part number 636672-001 to order Intel Centrino 6230, specifically for HP ProBook 4530s, 4230s, 4730s. And if I use part number 636672-001 and go thru parts store at HP, I can purchase it.
But will it work??
First, will the Intel Centrino 6230 with part number 636672-001 from HP parts, work in my HP DV7-6B32US, even though the part number is NOT listed in the Maintenance and Service Guide for my specific laptop. I see postings about whitelists and changing bios, etc, and am hoping someone can provide some guidance. I have been thru 2 tech support calls and one case manager and have gotten 3 different feedback from HP, from yes it will work and ordering the part, to buy it on amazon, to it will not work and here is your money back.
Second, I see some postings about Centrino 6230 and multiple antenna's. When I replaced the Broadcom 4313 with the Intel 1030 card, I simply unattached 2 wires and reattached the wires. And it worked. I am wondering if the reason HP doesn't list the 6230 card for DV7 is that DV7 does not have the antennas required to support 6230. Does the Centrino 6230 require 3 antennas?
Thanks for any suggestions. The existing cards do work but I paid extra for the Linksys e4200 Router and just assumed a winter 2011 $700 laptop from HP would use the latest wireless n technology, otherwise I would just keep existing cards.

I have went thru the exact same problems trying to upgrade the wireless card in my DV7. It is very frustrating that the wireless card can't be upgrade to one that supports 5Ghz. Here is my post from the network forum. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Wireless-Internet-Home/Unsupported-Wireless-LAN-6230/td-p/1419595 Doesn't sound like it is possible to upgrade to the Centrino 6230 without it being added the the "white list". Sound like HP doesn't update the list after shipping the notebook. I feel your pain. HP needs to help out the consumer in upgrading the wireless cards. I see we are not the only ones that have had this problem.

Dual-band wireless question

Hi again: I am new to this dual-band wireless stuff in TC having just replaced my AE with a new TC. I have a few questions regarding wireless setup.
1. When selecting the "Radio Mode" you are presented with options like "802.11a/n - 802.11b/g". Does this setting mean that the primary wireless will be a/n wile the guest wireless will be restricted to b/g ?
2. If you Option-click on the Radio-Mode pick list you can select multiple other settings. On of which is 802.11n (5 ghz) - 802.11a/b. Give question 1 does this restrict the main wireless to 5 ghz n only? (I highly doubt this as I can still connect to the "n network" with my iphone which only supports b/g.)
3. Under "Wireless Options" you can select a "5 ghz" network. Is this different than the option detailed in Question 2?
4. Finally, where can I find a manual for TC ?
Thanks for the help, Chris.

So is my assumption that the hyphen in the selection is the differentiation between the two networks?
Also, when I activate the "5 ghz" setting under options I actually see three networks, "Network1 (5 Ghz), Network1, and Network2 in my naming system. Does this mean that Network1 (5 Ghz) in the N only while Network1 is a standard N (with backwards compatibility to b/g)? I think this is the case as my iPhone does connect to Network1 while Network1 (5 Ghz) is not detected.
Thanks for the help, Chris.

How to set-up a DUAL BAND wireless network.

Lots of people are reporting problems caused by replacing an existing wireless network with the new Airport Extreme 802.11n base station.
* Xbox360 compatibility.
* Airtunes issues
* 802.11n slowed down by 802.11g devices
One workaround is to set-up a dual-band network. Your old 802.11g base station looks after the older "g" devices. And the new Airport Extreme looks after the 802.11n devices.
There are a number of benefits to this solution.
* Everything that did work, carries on working. No reconfiguring needed.
* Everything works at its fastest possible speed. You can use the full 270Mb 5Ghz band for n devices.
* 802.11g traffic does not interfere with 802.11n traffic at all.
* It's easy to set up.
The downside is
* There are two boxes. I want one.
This is the diagram (again)
Note that in this configuration, the new Airport Extreme base station is set-up in Bridging Mode.
Glyn

I've done some testing and here are my findings:
- 2 Computers, 1 C2D N enabled and iMac G only in 2 diff rooms
- 2 AX to stream music
- Transfer of a 446 Mb avi file from Airdisk to C2D
- 2 Wifi Networks: 1) G only from a Netopia 2) Depending from settings from AE(n), Both Base Station are placed aside. When G network is available both AX are connected.
- With or No airtunes means a stream to the 2 AX from iMac while transferring the 446 Mb file to the C2D.
446 MB / AE(n) 5 Ghz N / No Airtunes / Netopia Off / 2:47
446 MB / AE(n) 2.4 Ghz N Only / Auto Ch / No Airtunes / Netopia Off / 2:13
446 MB / AE(n) 5 Ghz N / No Airtunes / Netopia On / 3:14
446 MB / AE(n) 5 Ghz N / With Airtunes / Netopia On / 3:20
446 MB / AE(n) 2.4 Ghz N Only / Auto Ch/ No Airtunes / Netopia On / 2:29
446 MB / AE(n) 2.4 Ghz N Only / Auto Ch / With Airt / Netopia On / Unusable
446 MB / AE(n) 2.4 Ghz Mixed / Auto Ch / No Airtunes / Netopia Off / 2:17
446 MB / AE(n) 2.4 Ghz Mixed / Auto Ch / With Airtunes / Netopia Off / 3:03
Here are the findings:
- Without any G network (meaning no Airtunes possible) the 2.4 Ghz N Only performs much better than the 5 Ghz N
- While streaming Music the 2.4 Ghz Mixed performs better then the 5 Ghz N (Dual Band Network)!
These are my findings with my settings, it could be different, but I'm pretty sure you will find the same behavior on your side. And BTW, the theoretical thru-put means nothing, only real life usage testing is worth something. So on my side I'm going for a single mixed network.
Hope this sheds light for some of you.

Dual Band (5ghz and 2.4 ghz) Wireless Network Config and Dropped Connection

Hi, I have an Airport Extreme (802.11N) and a Motorola WR850G (802.11A/B/G) that I'm trying to connect in a dual band setup - but something in my setup is causing the Airport to drop it's connection (before the connection is dropped - everything works great). After I lose connectivity, both routers show up in my list of wireless networks, the light stays green, but I don't have local or internet access. When I try to reconnect, the log on times out. Also, the Airport isn't displayed in the Airport Utility (light is green on the airport itself though). Unplugging and resetting the Airport Allows all computers on the network to connect locally and to the internet for a few hours until the connection drops again. While it is up and running, I have no problems streaming movies off the connected Airdisk, navigating the internet, and connecting both N and G devices to the network.
I'd love to hear from you if you've gotten a similar setup to work, and if possible, have you provide the settings you used to make this work. I've looked around quite a bit and haven't seen a detailed description of the process (even from the Apple documentation). Also, advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated since my wireless networking knowledge is pretty basic.
My configuration:
Time Warner cable modem connected to the Airport's WAN port. WR850G connected by LAN port to Airport's LAN port. Bridge Mode check box selected on WR850G. Airport setup for 802.11n (5Ghz). Unique SSIDs to determine which network is 'N'. Same password for both networks. My Firmware and utilities are up to date.
Computers/Devices on Network:
Two Macs with Airport Extreme N cards. A Vista PC with a D-link N card (only compatible with 2.4 Ghz so it connects to the G network). A Vista PC with a GB ethernet card connected to the Airport Extreme. Various other G devices like iPod touches and an old iBook. Airdisk connected to the Airport Extreme.
Thanks,

I removed the second router (Moto wr850g) and everything seems to be working smoothly. It must be some settings on that one that are causing the problem, but I haven't been able to get it configured correctly. I noticed there were some IP conflicts with my wireless wanting to use the old Moto router IP and trying to assign my Mac an IP from that router. Does anyone know specifically what needs to be disabled on a router in bridge mode? Since I have a third party router there aren't any handy wizards that can configure it for me.
Thanks again

Time Capsule 2TB vs. Netgear WNDR3300 RangeMax Dual Band Wireless Router

Hey everyone, I just bought the Time Capsule 2TB since I was running out of space at home and wanted a solution for both PC and MAC machines. Upon installation I learned that the TC can actually be my Wireless Router! Right? For some reason I never knew it could do this - I thought it could just be a wireless harddrive.
Ok, so I already had a wireless router (the Netgear WNDR3300 RangeMax Dual Band Wireless Router). So my questions are the following:
1) Is the TC a completely safe and equal replacement for the Netgear Wireless Router that I have?
2) Currently the TC is setup as a wireless HD on my network (where the Netgear is the router) and the transfer speeds I am seeing are pretty darn slow! I am assuming it is because the data needs to go from LAPTOP -> Router -> TC. Right? So my question is, if the TC is setup as the actual wireless router, then would the data transfers be faster? Since I would only have to go from LAPTOP -> TC to store the data.
One more side question regarding the TC and connecting a printer:
3) If the printer has scanning capabilities, then where does this scanned document file go when the printer is connected to the TC ?
Thanks for your help!
John

John, welcome to the discussions!
I can provide a few thoughts and hopefully, others will as well.
"1) Is the TC a completely safe and equal replacement for the Netgear Wireless Router that I have?"
It appears to offer essentially the same features and performance at a glance. If you are using ethernet devices, the TC has 3 LAN ports, while there are 4 on the Netgear.
"So my question is, if the TC is setup as the actual wireless router, then would the data transfers be faster?"
I think it will be about the same. You could of course hook up the TC and try it, but I doubt that you would notice any measurable difference.
"3) If the printer has scanning capabilities, then where does this scanned document file go when the printer is connected to the TC ?"
Assuming that your printer is compatible with the TC you will be able to print, but advanced functions such as copying, scanning, maintenance, etc. will not work. You will need to connect your all-in-one directly to your computer if you need these other services.

Wireless HP Printer on Dual Band Airport Extreme Base Station

I'm looking to upgrade my router to the dual band AEBS. I'll end up with some n machines and some g machines, including a wireless HP printer. Will my n-enabled machines be able to print to the g wireless printer on the g network?
Thanks,
JD

+Will my n-enabled machines be able to print to the g wireless printer on the g network?+
Yes. All devices will receive an IP address from the AirPort Extreme, so they will all be on the same network and will be able to communicate with each other. This is true even if you have a wired only computer connected to the AirPort Extreme. It will be able to print to the printer.
But, if you enable the Guest network features, computers on this network will not be able to "see" other computers or connect to any devices on the main network.

Adding Wireless-N-ONLY Time Capsule to Dual-Band Airport Extreme Network?

I have a dual-band airport extreme which I have configured to create both a wireless-a/b/g/n SSID on my network, as well as a second SSID which is Wireless-N-ONLY (meant to be used with my Time Capsule so that all backups to the Time Capsule via Time Machine are only ever done via Wireless-N).
My Airport Extreme is already configured, and now I just have to configure my Time Capsule on my network...
Can someone briefly run through the "assist me" steps in the Airport Utility that I'd want to follow to configure my Time Capsule so that it's available on my dual-band base station's wireless-N-ONLY network and so that it's not transmitting or receiving any other wireless protocol other than wireless-N?
Thanks!

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your earlier feedback. I now have a dual band TC and the previous dual band EABS and I'm tearing my hair out trying to get these things to play nice! Maybe you can provide some assistance:
1) The TC upstairs is connected to the comcast modem and is the main 'router' in my network. In addition, I'm using the "create wireless network" option on this router to set up both a 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz wireless environment.
2) The AEBS downstairs on the opposite end of the house is connected by ethernet - whole house is wired so I'm feeding from the TC upstairs through a switch in the disti box down to an outlet where I have the AEBS. The cat-5 cable is connected to a LAN port on the back of the AEBS.
3) I have the AEBS set up to extend the wireless network. When I do this it only gives me the ability to select one wireless network (I have the TC configured to call the 5 GHz network something different) - In essence doesn't appear to want to let me extend both bands of the wireless network.
The problem seems to be that once I get all the configurations set I have no connectivity and if I try to open the configuration via Airport Utility, its just a spinning gear and will never open to show the settings. This happens to with both the TC and the AEBS. It's like it's in a loop or something.
I immediately disconnect the AEBS from the network and suddenly all is well again.
I know this seems like a rant, but this has been kicking my a** for two days!! I've just about had it with the constant 'hard reset' of the routers and starting over with configuration. If you have any specific things I should do, or settings that are key to set up both devices to extend my wireless network throughout the house I would be so thankful!!
Thanks,
Don

Cisco Wireless - N E2500 Dual Band Router and Hide SSID

Hi,
I have tried to hide my SSID by dis-enabling The SSID broadcasts of first one then the other band.
Once I dis-enabled the SSID broadcast of the last band my laptop, which has the wireless card, would lose connection to the internet on reboot.
I have read somewhere but now cannot find the article, that one can hide ones SSID but that it requires some work to connect to a network that is no longer broadcasting.
Anyone have knowledge on how to go about this or maybe they could point me to a resource that discusses how to set this up....thanks.
Tom.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks Exotic Fish ... Do you no anything about the Dual Band.
I understand that we can only use one band at a time ... that is great ....so I have the 2.4Ghz connecting automatically.
When does the 5Ghz kick in ... if it does ... or do you have to manually connect to it?
Thanks.
Tom.

Wireless Expander WRE54G and Dual Band router WRT610N

I used to have a band G-type network with a Linksys Router and a Wireless Expander WRE54G. It worked fine.
Now I have a WRT610 N Dual Band router. I am trying to connect the WRE54G to the netowrk (using the G-band of course) but it doesn't work. Runnig the Setup utility from the CD (og the Range Expander) ends in a "Site survey" which terminates with an error "Site survey fail". Maybe the installation program is not able to handle the WRT610N.
Any suggestions?

Press and hold the reset button on WRE for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your Expander, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...
Connect your Expander to a computer, click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>> Network Connections - Right click on the icon for Local area connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select 'Use the following IP address'- Provide IP Address - 192.168.1.5, Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0...Click on Ok button to Save and Click on "Close" on main Properties window...
Now open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.240. Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...It should open your Expander set-up...
Once you get to the set-up page,change the Expander Settings...While changing the Expander settings you have to make sure that the Wireless Settings(SSID/Network Name and WEP/WPA Key) are identical on both the devices(Router and Expander)...Also make sure to change the Expander's default IP to match your network and Gateway Address should be your Router's address...ex.Expander's IP Address : 192.168.1.240(assuming your router's default IP Address is 192.168.1.1),Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1...
After configuring the Expander you should disconnect it from the Computer and go into Local Area Connection TCP/IP Properties and set it back to Obtain IP Address Automatically...Disconnect the Expander from the computer and power cycle both the devices(Expander and Router) ...Your Expander should be configured...
