@picta - yes, I think this is where we are.  Shorter cable does not work at all - same issue.  I suspect I will return and try a different model.  Any recommendations?     @pete_c - No chase unfortunately - makes life a bit more challenging to be sure.  Would much rather have everything central...

Hi all, my family room is located on the main level with a TV installed over the gas fireplace. There is an existing HDMI cable, coax cable and CAT6 cable run through the walls to this location from the lower level. There are in ceiling speakers installed also run to the lower level (Didn't...

SO.... I have reconnected the devices per #2.  Everything seems stable but somewhere along the way my internet speed has been capped at just below 100Mbps averaging about 95-96.  This is in contrast to almost 325Mbps download speed available prior.  Any ideas what I may have done?    Happy...

Thanks fellas for the info.  I am thinking then that I have two choices with my current gear (and a third if I were to get a new managed larger switch). Set up VLANS in the RV320 and have all SONOS equipment (include HT equipment etc.) on one VLAN (use it's own SG-100-24 switch), computers etc...

Rather than start a new thread I thought I would re-open this one as they are related.    I recently suffered a network failure due in part or in whole to my Sonos system. I have 12 Sonos components spread over a fairly large house (over several floors) and as such have elected to hardwire...

Well just to close the loop here - the WAP371 has been up on the wall for over a week now and I am pretty satisfied.  We have very good signal on both bands throughout most of the house though the 2.4 band reaches farther as one would expect.  I cannot really compare to a horizontal mounting (as...

Hi, quick question - any downside to mounting a WAP on a wall.  The 371 comes with a bracket to do just that and from what I can tell the signal is supposed to be omnidirectional.  I have read one signal strength issue on line where a Cisco rep suggested moving the WAP from the wall to a...

@pvrfan - Actually - not so bad.  I am actually on a tier below that 250/20 so "only" about $88 after my discount.  No fibre to my house though it is 350 down and 350 up (stated spec).  It just seems that everyone on the 250/20 plan is getting 325/20 .......Some think it is in anticipation of...

Hi Pete - it is Rogers (Canada) Hi-Speed Cable service.  In front of the router is their Hitron CGN3 modem/router combo placed in Bridge mode.   As an update, the updated firmware did nothing to increase the upload speed.  Reading a bit in the Rogers support forums it may be that the modem was...

@RAL - Thanks yes I had found that but frankly I cold not figure out the utility for the alternate method. @Bill - was very worried about that in fact.  I was actually trying to resolve upload speed (not getting what I should).   In any case, I did find something which worked so I will share for...

I tried to upgrade my RV320 Router's Firmware today - did not go well.  I am left with a router with a Solid DIAG light and a flashing PWR light.  This condition is described in the release notes for the upgrade as a corrupted bin file.    The solution is to rest the router and use a tftp put...

Actually this is something I am working on.  I am supposed to have 25 up but it seems to be a router issue.  I started a new thread for my router specific issue I am now having.

Thanks again fellas.  @Work2Play - we have pretty decent internet here:   325Mbps Down and 10+Mbps Up   Still not sure we are saturating the LAN in the manner you describe.  I am also not certain but pretty sure the SG100-24 switches do not allow for aggregation in any case.   I think I have...

Hi Pete - thanks again for the input.  Up to 3 IP phones, though generally just one or two at any one time.  But almost always one IP phone along with a video conference system (a Magor HiDef video Conf System if you are familiar) along with the VPN connection.  I agree these are the most...

Hi Pete - yes the RV320 is indeed designed for SOHO set-ups which is applicable here.  Bill raises some interesting points here as well.  The network traffic is pretty evenly split between day office centric (IP telephones, video conferencing and internet use both internal and VPN'd to the main...
