Are there any important differences between cheap and more expensive routers that I should be aware of, provided the case that there is always only one machine connected by cable and - at the same time - several laptops connected by WIFI?
There are differences, of course. Important or not, depends. Mine has 4 gigabit ports, for instance, instead of the typical 100 MB/s ports, IPv6, VPN. It is an ADSL router mainly, but it can use an USB dongle to connect to a cellular network instead, or to another router via eth0 (that is, one of the internal network ports changes to be external network port, which as another of your questions).
At this moment, I don't remember what was the deciding factor for me. Gigabit was one.
Like, for example, the strength of the antenna signal (operating distance)? Or...???
With three antennas, I understand, the radiation pattern is more flat and thus adequate for apartments.
Hi If you have a lot of clients, it may be best to get a router between say 10 wss and daisy chain them. There are access points and amplifiers too but they work out more expensive than real routers. Then they start talking about bandwidth and stuff. From experience, I know that you can't run a proper network on movistar routers but they're fine for Internet. You need cables and switches or loadsa money. Anyway, why are we talking about this? It's Chile-Spain tomorrow. Love, L x
There is the wired desktop and max. 3 laptops/wifi-phones at the same time. The telefonica router does (did?) it's job good enough for me. However, there's a friend moving house in a few days and then I can try if my problem persists using his router/cable... and then I look further... I'll let the list know. Meanwhile I'll train my social skills, just in case. Happy to have Chile-Spain tomorrow, because there's space in the street cafés and my usual male competitors sit in the restaurants in front of a screen forgetting even the nicest minifaldas close to them - my advantage... :-) Daniel -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona professional photography: http://www.daniel-bauer.com google+: https://plus.google.com/109534388657020287386 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
