Re: Best router for Gargoyle

1.4.7 does have ACC on Download. I've set it on to see what the impact is and how the system performs. I'm not sure about the ping target as 1.4.7 does not allow me to change to a non standard ping target.

Re: Huge Decrease in Bandwidth!!!

Agree with mix. I have my 3700v2 running at 98Mbits with no QoS. If you introduce QoS you get a bit hit but the best I could get on my 1043nd with no QoS was about 55, 70 if you shut down all reporting. Gargoyle is great but all that great reporting takes CPU horsepower. The 1043nd just does not hav...

Re: Country Code and Channels 12 & 13

Great about the "agreement". Bring on 1.4.8, or will it be in 1.5.5 first?

Country Code and Channels 12 & 13

Hi, I noticed when looking at dmesg that my country code was US and not AU. I ended up changing this by using UCI set command but thought that perhaps in the next version of gargoyle, there should be a way of setting or checking the country code from the interface. In addition, we are allowed access...

Re: TP-Link G and N Performance

One thing I did find out... All of my laptops have Atheros chipsets that only support 1 stream, single band, so that means 150 Mbps. Specifically, the chip ends with 1ND whereas it needs to end with 2ND to allow 300 Mbps. Problem solved. So when looking for a laptop you need to check if it's wireles...

Re: Best router for Gargoyle

I'm all ears, so what's the difference between 1.4.7 and 1.5.4? Does it make sense to upgrade? I do not use 5.4 GHz, only 2.4 and I don't use the USB for shared disk, I have a SAN for that. So is it worthwhile to upgrade, or just wait to 1.4.8? BTW, how stable is EXPERIMENTAL? I have the wife to thi...

Re: TP-Link G and N Performance

One final question. Does anyone in the Gargoyle community have a laptop connecting to their router at speeds greater than 150 Mbps? I have a desktop with two antennas that connects at 150 but my n class laptops all connect at 130 and I've never seen more than 150.

So, anyone have greater than 150?

Re: Best router for Gargoyle

Sorry tals, didn't see your message. I get about a 45% hit. With QoS turned off speedtest.net runs at 98MBits during quiet times on my cable service from Optus. As soon as I turn QoS Upload and Download on, it drops to 55MBits. However, with all the VoIP calls I make there is no stutter and the voic...

Is it the acc? What's acc?

Re: Best router for Gargoyle

What I don't know is whether qos is really required at these types of speeds - until Internet requirements start pushing the faster lines. I have VoIP. I can probably turn QoS off and see how it goes but sometimes it can turn out that voice can get choppy with other activity. I am surprised at the ...
