I'd check your router logs and see if your router is receiving any data for ports 8080 or 22 then see what it did with it (refused, etc.).
AIRLINK101 WIRELESS ROUTER AR680W UPDATE
Perhaps there is a time period before it updates, they don't tell you, you have no idea but I'd assume it should update immediately if you set it so apparently this is a flaw or poor firmware writing from my perspective. Then went to to see if my dynamic IP address had updated. I set the Airlink AR680W's DYNDNS setting and waited a while. If you have a really high speed fiber connection or superfast cable, I'd probably go with a gigabit N router from another manufacturer.ĭid anyone get ar680w to work with dyndns? I'm able to get apache to work on port 80 over dyndsn, but I have no luck on getting tomcat and ssh to run on port 8080 and 22 respectively. For slower DSL/Cable connections, say under 10mbps or 15mbps, the Airlink N is probably a good economical choice. The real issue with N is if you are streaming media through your local LAN network (which I do). If you mainly surf the net, you won't get great speeds anyway if you're using DSL or regular speed cable which usually enters your home at 10mbps at the modem. So far, I'm glad I did.ġ95mbps, if I measured it correctly, is not bad at all for this low priced product line. Airlink N was on sale big time so I went ahead and bought that brand. When I went to Frys to buy, they had the Trendnet N router but not any NICs to go with it. However, when I found out the IEEE had postponed the final N specifications until 2009, I went ahead and purchased. I had been waiting to buy any N products and Trendnet draft 2 was on the top of my list. If the AR680W was a gigabit router, LAN speeds might be better than they are but 195 is good enough for me for the low prices I paid for these products.
Not bad and right at the 200mbps mark that draft 2 N wireless routers are supposed to meet.
I haven't gotten around to measuring the throughput on a PCI Airlink N NIC which might fare better with it's 3 external antennas. Connections are reliable and steady.ĭespite all my Airlink client NICs claiming to connect at 300mbps or 270mbps, I'm measuring throughput at around 195mbps using a USB nic (no external antennas might be lowering the speed some). The chipset in the AR680W N router is from RaLink, a small Taiwan based chip maker with offices in Cupertino, CA (Reviews for Airlink products are virtually non-existent because RaLink (chip maker) and Airlink (brand name) are both very small players in the router market with most Airlink sales coming from and it's sister web site, Īs far as ease of setup, connections, etc., I give pretty high marks to the AR680W router and it's NIC clients (I use PCI, USB and PCMCIA in my home, all from Airlink N).
