I've replaced #1 with a Linksys E1000 v1 running DD-WRT v24. I want
it to be as fast as possible<br>
and only N. <br>

Iperf on my Samsung S4 back to my desktop over Ethernet is reporting
35+mbps. That is nice.<br>
<br>
One issue I'm running into is that my 3DS XL will only negotiate
with the attic AP. It is complaining about the key on the router.
It can connect just fine to my Samsung S4 and the S4 uses the same
encryption method. I can only imagine this may be a DD-WRT issues
since both run the same encryption type.<br>
<br>
My questions simplifies down to these:<br>
<br>
1. I wanted to replace the D-Link because yesterday I added more
devices via a Dish Hopper and Joeys that I bridged. I noticed that
I was losing my ethernet connection to the D-Link constantly after
these additions. That router is circa 2006(?). I had an E1000
v1. Is there a router I can buy at Frys today that can do the job
well?<br>
<br>
2. I want more visibility and QoS options on the router. For
example I want my SSH sessions to take priority over EVERYTHING
else. I work from home and can have multiple xterms running. This
is not a problem until school vacation if you know what I mean. :)
Does the E1000 fit the bill?<br>
<br>
3. I would like to have 300mbps capability. We have 3 Android
phones, 2 Android Tablets, Xbox 360, Wii, 3DS, 3 Laptops, 1 desktop
PC and Dish Hopper that are all wireless!!! After I tweaked the
hopper install the tablets could be running the Sling client for one
daughter that did not get a Joey. I only have 4 devices that use
Ethernet. The AP in the attic is wired back to the router via
CAT-5.<br>
<br>
4. One that supports ADSL2+ would allow me to replace my G-Duo,
circa 2003(?), that has issues with many connections.<br>
<br>
5. The Attic router was to provide signal across the whole house
and reach areas where the Dlink could not. I've noticed the E1000
has better signal so I may could get away with not having an attic
router anymore. <br>
<br>
I'm thinking I need to buy something created this year. The E1000
was made in 2009. I do not even use DHCP on my router anymore since
I have many custom DHCP rules for devices around here. I have one
rule that assigns a range to a certain hardware prefix. This is my
work related stuff. <br>
<br>
Another unrelated question I have is running MASQ over an alias
interface. I tried this back in 199 and ran into issues. I'd like
to assign a subnet on my desktop to eth0:1 and then assign all the
childrens devices to that subnet with my desktop being the router
between <a href="http://192.168.1.0/24" target="_blank">192.168.1.0/24</a> and <a href="http://192.168.2.0/24" target="_blank">192.168.2.0/24</a>. This allows me
visibility with what they are doing. I could add a USB adaptor,
but I only have 4 ports on the E1000 and I need to keep devices down
to a minimum. I'm a ham radio op and power supplies create noise.<br>
