difference between ADSLfiber and fiberfiber when both are @xs4all.

TP Link ER5120 limitations: lacking and disturbing features

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/03/18

Mikrotik have statistics and way more features. The most lacking or disturbing features on the TP-LINK (none of which are mentioned in their documentation):

The documentation mentions you can enable Enable Bandwidth Based Balance Routing then select the WAN connections to combine but that doesn’t work at all, even if you follow the bandwidth steps carefully.
Balanced Routing work when you perform these steps as mentioned at time point 457 in this video https://youtu.be/YDUfP8a5zNY
- Enable Application Optimized Routing
- Enable Bandwidth Based Balance Routing
Virtual-Server table can only handle 32 incoming port redirects; you get the message “Cannot add more than 32 Virtual Server entries” like in the picture below.
No IPv6 support
No way to show any statistics as graphs.
Every once in a while the web interface becomes really really slow which only a reboot can resolve.
You cannot have one of the WAN connections have multiple IP addresses.
Local DHCP clients are not added to the DNS proxy which means you cannot resolve them by name.
TCP Sequence Prediction: Difficulty=0 (Trivial joke)
You cannot configure how often to check WAN connections

On the other hand: when you do balanced routing indeed bundles all the WAN connections, configured Virtual Servers do work well and WAN specific routing settings to what they need to.

Source: Gigabit Load Balance Broadband Router TL-ER5120 – Welcome to TP-LINK

Verdict: fine for home use, not good for real multi-WAN use.

Fiber to Fiber speed beats Cable to Fiber speed by a factor 2 (all three internet connections are in the same house)

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/10/05

I’ve two fiber connections, one cable connection and one ADSL connection at home.

This is a traceroute from one fiber connection to the other over the outside network:

traceroute to snip.xs4all.nl (80.100.143.119), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets

This is the same but from my third connection (that will go away sooner than later): Cable.

Finally there is ADSL (which will go even sooner):

 5  snip.xs4all.nl (80.100.143.119)(N!)  15.914 ms (N!)  16.171 ms (N!)  15.710 ms

Cable is about twice as slow than Fiber.

ADSL is about three times as slow than Fiber.

http://169.254.1.1 trick for Opening UI of the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater 1750E – via: AVM International

Posted by jpluimers on 2015/08/24

Because http://fritz.box points to my Fritz!BOX router, it cannot be used to get to my Fritz!WLAN Repeater. I just learned about the http://169.254.1.1 trick does.

Which saves me from remembering the repeater IP-address or name.

Some Mikrotik and RouterOS Links to get it running on ESXi for experimental purposes.

Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/27

RouterOS runs on many kinds of hardware. Of course on the MikroTik hardware itself (which always comes with a license), but also on x86 hardware, even virtualized systems.

In that respect, it looks a bit like pfSense, or Endian, but on steroids and closed source.

Here are some links focused on MikroTik on ESXi (which is great for experimental purposes):

I can t setup mikrotik on VMware ESXi 5 | VMware Communities, mentions IDE devices over SCSI, points to Setup Mikrotik on VMware vSphere Hypervisor ESXi 510 x86 64 – YouTube.
MikroTik RouterOS • View topic – Production router with ESXi ? (a few notes like: requires IDE drives, seems to work best with e1000 ethernet cards, might favour x86 over x64).
MikroTik RouterOS • View topic – ESXI+Mikrotik+VLAN.
MikroTik RouterOS • View topic – Bridge not forwarding traffic on ESXi host (always turn on Promiscious mode on vSwitches, there might be issues with broadcasts when you have multiple physical NICs (pNics) on the same vSwitch);
MikroTik RouterOS • View topic – RouteOS v6 vlan’s dont’t works in ESXI [SOLVED] (VLAN might not work with e1000?).
MikroTik RouterOS • View topic – MT on ESXi as a gateway ?! (success story).
