  1. 1. what router brand do you have..??



Recommended Posts

I use a d-link dir-655. I upgraded from my old linksys wrt54g(the router everyone and their dog has had) because i wanted both wireless n support as well as wired gigabit. Works great and doesn't need restarted anywhere near as often as that damn linksys did(which was annoying).

Cisco at home, it's dud, need to have it repalced under warranty.

Netgear at home as a bridge. Has stopped working. Another dud.

Linksys at work. Awesome, but the one I used to have at home died. Dud.

I have a bad habbit of buying duds.

2 FiOS Actiontec routers acting as MoCA bridges to split coax tv signal and internet signal. Buffalo HP N300 (DDWRT) router is connected to the internet serving Actiontec.

I have a 2nd internet connection which is a docsis 3.0 cable modem with an old D-Link DGL-4300 router.

Asus RT-N16 running Tomato. I upgraded to this router as it supports well over 100mbps throughput, so will be perfect for when Virgin upgrade us later this year.

IPV6 and a VPN server was also very easy to setup thanks to Tomato :)

I like how extreme has no votes and no one has said anything about them... mainly considering extreme doesn't manufacturer routers... only switches.

sssshhh!!! ;-)

    • Anthropic accuses Alibaba of using 25,000 fake accounts to copy Claude's capabilities by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic has accused Alibaba of using nearly 25,000 fraudulent accounts to extract capabilities from Claude on a huge scale. According to a report from Reuters, Anthropic told US lawmakers that operators linked to Alibaba and the company’s Qwen AI team generated 28.8 million exchanges with Claude between April 22 and June 5, 2026. That is a lot of Claude conversations, but Anthropic says this was not ordinary chatbot use. The company believes the accounts were part of a coordinated effort to collect answers that could help train or improve rival AI systems. The alleged campaign reportedly focused on some of Claude’s most valuable skills, including software development, multi-step reasoning, and agentic tasks. In practical terms, that means getting an AI model to plan and complete work across several stages rather than simply answering a single question. This is called 'distillation,' where AI companies use outputs from a larger model to train a smaller and cheaper one. The smaller model learns to imitate useful parts of the more capable system without needing the same amount of computing power. The distillation process isn't automatically suspicious, but the problem comes when one company gathers another provider's outputs without permission and at an industrial scale. Also, this does not mean Alibaba obtained Claude’s source code, model weights, or original training data. Instead, Anthropic claims the accounts repeatedly asked Claude carefully designed questions and collected the answers. Those answers could then be used as training material for another model. Anthropic has made similar accusations against DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax earlier this year. As Neowin previously reported, Anthropic said those three companies collectively generated more than 16 million Claude exchanges through roughly 24,000 accounts. Anthropic says the new campaign produced almost twice as many exchanges in a matter of weeks. Anthropic reportedly told lawmakers that the campaign could help Chinese AI developers approach the capabilities of its Mythos Preview model. Mythos is focused on advanced cybersecurity work, including finding and exploiting complex software vulnerabilities. via Reuters | Photo via DepositPhotos.com
    • An Indian manufacturer that assembles roughly one-third of Apple's iPhones and supplies semiconductor components to Tesla confirmed Monday that attackers had stolen and publicly published a 630-gigabyte cache of confidential files — including engineering blueprints stamped "TRADE SECRET," a 52-page quality inspection document for iPhone circuit board components, and cryptographic certificates that security experts say could be weaponized in follow-on attacks. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319019/20260624/apple-tesla-supplier-tata-electronics-confirms-630-gb-data-theft-iphone-specs-dark-web.htm
    • I don't think it was ever a big question. In fact, I don't think anyone ever asked about how clocks work on Mars.
    • I don't know what the price difference is between a 5GbE and a 10GbE part, but it seems that putting a 10GbE port in might be a bit more 'standard'.
