Hey guys I have a Netgear N300 WNR3500Lv1 and I just got Tomato installed on here and I really like how everything looks and how smooth it is but I am just confised about the settings for QoS. I have a 30/5 connection with Time Warner and I do a lot of Netflix and Gaming on my 360 and general surfing on my laptops. What recommendations would you guys suggest to get the most out of my network? Thanks :)

Why don't you be a bit more specific...the most out of your network....

Let me ask you this, this is similar to what you are asking but in terms most will understand, I like every food out there what will taste the best for me? You have no clue what my tastes are like, you have no clue what doesn't agree with me, but I have stated such a broad statement that pertains to really nothing that you can make an educated opinion on so anything that you say will have little to no meaning.

Back to what you are asking, are you doing everything at the same time? Are you noticing speed issues? Are you having issues whatso ever? If not, dont screw with it. I stream on my Ipad, stream on my xbox, play games on my computer as well as torrent pretty much at the same time and have not noticed one ounce of slowdown. Everyone's opinion is going to be different, but mine is don't fix what isn't broken. QoS isn't needed until there is an issue especially in your environment. If it were a business and they have data and voice over the same line, voice would have to take priority and QoS configuration would be absolutely needed to maintain quality of the call.

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
