Q. i currently have a linksys e2000 with ddwrt firmware overclocked to 480MHZ. This router still cant handle all the devices i have in the house. I have over 30 computers/devices and 2 servers in the house. what is a good router that i can get to meet the demand.
A. Sounds like you are trotting on some heavy hardware needs. For cost effectiveness, you can simply add another e2000 router and bridge. If still not enough you may think about multiple Cisco 1040 series access points with a wireless controller which can easily handle 7000 clients!
But hardware cost big bucks, try another e2000 and good luck.

Best VPN Server for Linksys E2000 Router?
Q. I have used hidemyass.com and they coudln't tell me how to set up my router.
I have a Linksys E2000 DD WRT BIG Firmware
I woudl like to know if anyone else out there has the same setup as myself and has got this to work, plus has got a good deal on VPN.
I am also looking for a VPN server that will handle requests for Philippines. My girlfriend is from there and she has one of my E2000 routers and I would like to setup VPN on her router so she can watch Netflix on her computer and HTC EVO phone.
Setting up VPN will allow her to assume the Identity of a secured IP address thus allowing her to assume the identity of someone from the United States and not the Philippines.
Some VPN servers allow you to spoof your IP address so that websites can't find you. Very useful if you are using torrents.

Cisco Linksys E2000 Wireless Router question?
Q. I am not familiar with routers so I do not know what all these stats mean. For example: "Selectable Dual-Band (2.4 or 5 GHz), 4-Port Gigabit Router DD-WRT/Tomato Compatible" What do these mean and is this compatible with a cable modem since I am currently using a cable modem for internet? Thank you very much.
and how good is the signal length for this?
and how good is the signal length for this?
A. There are 2 types of Dual-Band N Routers; Selectable and Simultaneous. Always get a Simultaneous DBN Router. The E2000 is a Selectable,
With Dual-Band, there are 2 separate radio frequencies being broadcast, 2.4ghz and 5ghz. Overlapping the 2 signals increases the range and signal in Wireless N Routers, but most people forget (or don't know) that they also need to set their network adapters on their PC's or other devices to match the Router's wireless settings.
Selectable Routers only let you select either 2.4ghz or 5ghz for your wireless bands, leaving the other band useless for anything else but overall signal and range performance. Simultaneous Routers allow you to use both wireless bands at the same time, essentially giving you 2 wireless networks in one Router. What this means is that you can use one frequency band for media streaming, gaming, etc., while using the other band for PC traffic.
For example, I use my 5ghz band for all of my business, media, and gaming data streams; I route all other traffic (family use) over the 2.4ghz band. Since the bands are independent, they don't interfere with each other.
Bottom line is that if you want to get the most out of a DBN Router, get a Simultaneous Dual-Band so you can use both bands at the same time. The Linksys E2000 and E2100L are Selectable Routers; the E3000 and the new 4200 are Simultaneous Routers. The 4200 is the latest step up, with averages approaching 450mbps, and is designed for high speed media streaming.
Keep in mind that speed is determined by the slowest network device, so even if you have an N Router, and your other devices are Wireless G, they'll still only connect to the Router at G speeds, i.e., 54mbps. To get N speeds, both the Router and the adapters on your PC's and other networked devices must also be Wireless N.
DD-WRT/Tomato just means it's compatible with the DD-WRT and Tomato firmware upgrades, which most average users don't care about. 4-port means it has 4 Ethernet (hardwire) ports;Gigabit means it's capable of processing at Gigabit speeds, but you'll never see it unless you've got a T3 or comparable connection.
All Routers are compatible with cable modems.

Need help getting an open nat on three xboxes!?
Q. We have three xboxes on the same internet connection. After port range triggering the first console to connect gets an open NAT but everyone else still gets moderate. but that didn't help the case. I've tried just enabling uPnP, but that didn't work. We have two connecting wirelessly, and one via ethernet cord. Any ideas? We're using an E2000 linksys router. All the ideas would be very much appreciated.
Currently Hope this helps.

A. Did you try enabling UPnP without having port triggering enabled?
Have you updated the firmware on your router? If you haven't, you should. The E2000 should be multi-NAT compatible.
After making a change to the port-triggering and/or UPnP, make sure you reset everything on your network, including your 360's before running a network test.
