Around the Linksys EA6500v2 Wireless Router

Preface: Life is endless, toss more than

Since 678+288rmb bought EA6500 v2+WUSB6300 of last year's 678+288rmb (the original home router department that Cisco sold), the toss around the EA6500 v2 can no longer stop...

The whole picture is on the top and the word is on the bottom.

I. Preparation:

After buying it back, I tried it briefly and it was pretty good. Some of the functions were basically there, but I was eager to download the Thunder and started the tossing trip. From DD-WRT to Advanced Tomato (UI is best viewed), I finally brushed. KoolShare Merlin revision firmware is really powerful.

As for the EA6500 v2 unpacking, testing, teardown, the original interface, please use the top search (thanks to their authors)

Second, to achieve the function:

Note: The brackets are the equipment needed in addition to EA6500 v2. To achieve the same function, the same equipment is not necessarily needed (you can certainly buy more expensive, including EA6500 v2)

Do not recommend buying this EA6500V2 Linksys, it is recommended to buy ASUS or Netgear router, how much money to buy that price just fine, you can go to the forum to see that you can brush firmware, the following functions are the same, because the brush Meilin revision firmware.

Also I do not recommend buying Wusb6300, because it does not support the common 149 channels in the 5GHz and so on.

i, 2.4Ghz full coverage, 5Ghz coverage from the study to the restaurant (WDS: TPLink WR2041N ver3.0)

Strongly do not recommend this router, although the signal is good, but now basically buy the V3 version later, castration is very serious, nothing can not brush ...

Although the EA6500 v2 is powerful, it is also an old product in 2012. The signal is not very strong and the signal on the upstairs is very weak. Therefore, WDS is used to expand the wireless coverage.

Our home is a dual structure, EA6500 v2 on a layer of study, TP on the second floor of the study, TP settings directly in the wWDS search just fine, turn off the TP DHCP to let the EA6500 v2 command global, unified SSID to let Family mobile devices seamlessly switch routers, even the toilet can have a stable connection (only 2.4GHZ can be extended)

About the signal, in the router advanced settings - wireless network - Site Survey can see the detailed information of the WIFI signal around the router, through the reference channel distribution, can modify the appropriate channel, such as our home around 2.4GHz are basically in 1 , 6 channels, so I modified to 8 channels, the signal has changed a lot. Note that the channel should not choose 11 or more to avoid some devices incompatible.

Ii. Family Easy NAS, Storage, AV Sharing, Thunder Download, Photo Backup (HDD: Western Digital WD Elements 1TB HDD)

This can be a hard disk, there are higher requirements either on the disk drive bay, or directly on the standard NAS

Why not use NAS because it is poor

Poor people have their own way, Merlin comes with many features

What the NAS can achieve, this little router is basically implemented.

AiDisk is a private cloud-like service launched by ASUS, but it can be replaced by other functions. It is of little significance. I don't use it much.

Server Center provides UPnP, iTunes Server, FTP, NFS, and Network Neighborhood Sharing (Samba) functions, which basically implement file sharing within the LAN. The Upnp service also provides protection for media streaming. A typical internet-enabled TV or TV box can use this service to capture photos, music, and videos from a mobile hard drive. Of course, there are many boxes that support SMB services and FTP.

A network printer connects an ordinary printer to a router, and the router is sharing in the LAN. (not tried)

3G/4G uses the USB network card as the WAN to provide wireless services. (not tried)

Time Machine If you're an Apple MAC user, I don't have to talk about it. If you're not, I don't even have to talk about it... (No MAC)

The last one is Downloads Master . As the name implies, it is an ASUA downloader. It is relatively stable and not fast. Because Thunder can be installed, it is not used much.

Next is the Thunder download

The remote Thunder official website has stopped updating its Xware. This software is not very stable because no one is going to maintain it, but I think it is still much better than it is.

Remote Thunder can be downloaded from the router Software Centre. After the user is bound, it can be downloaded remotely.

Then this should be the IP address resolution provided by Thunder. It can be used to manage download tasks in any network environment (you can use external networks, can use mobile phones, and does not require DDNS). It is very practical.

TIPS: With the above FTP, TV boxes, Thunder can be found at work to find movie resources, remote download, go home to watch on TV or iPad or mobile phone

iPhone and iPad use nPlayer, this player is basically in a small position in the list, as long as it is a media file, you can play, what DTS, other players do not support the life and death of this pressure, for Upnp, FTP, SMB, etc. are very friendly and can automatically search for SMB devices like computers, which is a bit more expensive.

Photo Backup (IOS: PhotoSync As for Android... I don't have an Android phone or tablet... )

Envy Group's automatic backup photo video? Needless to say, PhotoSync can fully implement this advanced feature.

Home, the upper right corner is manual and fast transfer

A variety of synchronization methods, to give you a look, but I only use FTP this one

This is FTP configuration, let's take a quick look

After the FTP server is configured, the quick transfer is the red button. The automatic transmission is automatically backed up. The IOS is used to locate the geofence, so after opening, a geofence symbol will appear.

This is an automatic backup. The status bar hollow positioning mark is a geofence mark.

However, I think automatic backup is not practical. After all, not every photo needs to be backed up immediately. Generally speaking, after traveling, photos are selected on the mobile phone, manually synchronized, the software helps to automatically name, and at the same time take advantage of the home network at 5GHz. (In the iPhone 5s 5 GHz, the internal network is at 150 Mbps, which is a theoretical speed of 18.75 MB/s.) The photos can be synchronized quickly and the video is faster.

PC-side mapping network driver uses the removable hard disk mounted on the router as a local storage disk


like this

TIPS: iPhone and iPad recommended to use Filza to manage files after jailbreak. It is also very friendly to SMB and FTP. I think this is expected to surpass iFiles as the best file browser for IOS.

Iii、 Remotely wake up the computer and remotely control it (DDNS and Xiaomi Smart Patch Panel)

 


In fact, this can also be replaced by an ordinary patch panel, but the price is not much


Everyone should be familiar with DDNS. With it, I can have a private server, open remote access, management, private cloud disk, WOL, VPN server, etc. I use a free DDNS 3322, of course you can use other Instead of.

Here only a practical example using DDNS, remote wake-up computer, and remote control (IOS: RD Client, Android should have similar software)

First of all need these points to prepare work (reach the party point here)

1. The power supply of the host, monitor, etc. is all plugged into the millet patch panel

2. Motherboard BIOS opens support for WOL

3, Windows system in the network card properties open support for WOL

4, the router fixed in the network IP address (DHCP static address) of the computer you need to remote control, for example, I fixed to 192.168.1.100

5. Port 3389 to 3389 (this is the port of Microsoft Remote Desktop) for forwarding the computer's static address

TIPS: It is possible that the card will not turn on after the BIOS has just been restarted. At this time, the motherboard should be completely powered off for 5 minutes and then powered on. This is purely a matter of experience.

step

1, mobile device Mijia APP, open the power strip

2, the browser opens the router background advanced settings - network tools - wake up through the network (LAN)

3, mobile terminal RD Client control

This is just an example. There are many other usages of DDNS. For example, you can use any browser to log in to FTP as a simple private network disk. Some people in the forum have put OwnCloud into the router, and the security factor and UI are even better.

Iv, ss

Make use of the SS plugin in Merlin's firmware to go to some of the world's non-existent websites...

Yes, you are not mistaken is the address of the iss, because I do not use this function, but only occasionally look at the assessment abroad......

Patriotic, professional, honest, friendly!

v. To advertise (mainly video ads)

This Merlin is not as good as DDwrt and Openwrt. There is ADM in the Software Centre, but there is no Adbyby. ADM is not stable in Merlin's firmware, and the effect is not good either. So I have been using a Hosts file in a forum to advertise.

However, this file is not friendly to the PC side, Youku, etc. can detect it, invalid for the TV, but also will lead to Baidu advertising, Taobao promotion can not open, you can modify the Hosts file, remove Baidu and Taobao part.

Vi, VPN

This function of VPN is of little practical significance to ordinary users. In particular, the multi-function and DDNS overlap, and the access to the VPN server must have DDNS, which may be more useful for large companies, but it is better than nothing.

Support is still very comprehensive, the map has it, there are servers and clients (to the world's non-existent website another new posture), and even TOR, but I'm not a Snowden-class figure, I also use Less than...

The measured mobile phone can be linked to its own VPN in any network state.

Vii, other

There are some basic functions of the router, you look like it, basically no big difference with other routers

Third, summary

Said to be EA6500 v2, Merlin is actually changing the firmware toss, in fact, the router is not a computer loaded with Linux Well, the computer can achieve what he will be able to achieve ah ... ...

Value is not worth buying

I think that millet smart socket is still worth, after all, only 70 dollars, the Bulls have 40 + it

The router should buy the ASUS home, the router should buy the ASUS home, and the router should buy the ASUS home, to repeat three. EA6500 v2 heat, Jinan summer bare metal CPU at 90 degrees, open the fan about 65 degrees, although the Internet said Cisco's router is very stable, but hot, how to do the bombing

TP's can also, but I think buying RMB150 or less is good for three or four years. There is no need to buy a 200+ like me. I also have a very good route 3, and the signal is good, but I haven't tried anything else.

WUSB6300 should not be bought, not much use, although the wireless 1300Mps> 1Gps Gigabit network, but the delay is large, more than 10ms, is not friendly to the game, watching the progress of the video in the router will still be card ... ... decoration time If you think about it, it's good to leave the line buried in the wall.

Mobile hard disk worth buying, the price is not high, read and write speeds can reach 110MB/s in the USB3.0 to the computer, routing computer can reach 40MB/s in the gigabit network. The speed is greatly reduced. I guess it is related to router performance. When copying a movie, the CPU and memory usage are all above 95%.
