What router is used in internet cafes

As the people of the Earth know, Internet cafes are a very complicated place.

Internet cafes every day to face a variety of people, there are "rookie" also have a master, rookie is a nuisance, in addition to constantly looking for network management to ask three explore, and sometimes the random deletion of the program, Chaos Point virus. Master is also terrible, often will study this way, in the home, the company is not afraid to study, in the Internet café can be a big kick, the matter has nothing to do. In addition to these users, there are some of the three level of indecent sites, and so on, these are the network management do not want to see things.

So how can you effectively stop these things from happening?

In normal circumstances, each client in the Internet café is equipped with a Restore Wizard (software) and restore card (hardware) or similar functions of the Restore tool, whenever the computer shutdown or restart, it will revert to the state of the original computer settings. This means that you can restore all folders to their original state, even though you have deleted or formatted the hard drive and then restarted it. Some friends may ask, then have a restore card can be completely safe? Is it okay to infect all the viruses? may have been, but now is not safe, according to the author recently learned that some viruses, it can destroy software, hardware restoration, but also through the network to spread the virus, occupy bandwidth, resulting in network paralysis.

Security seems to be the Internet café owners concerned about things, restore card unreliable, hardware firewall can not afford to buy, install anti-virus software and fear of accounting for computer resources to slow down the computer, in the end how to better solve the security problem? It seems that so far there is no reliable and cost-effective solution, can only do is the prevention of work. In addition to installing anti-virus software, the router itself has some basic firewall functions, to make good use of.

In the prevention of bad Web pages, many router devices are equipped with these shielding functions, there is for the web address, there are IP address shielding, some according to the common port. Security equipment filtering function has URL filtering, MAC address filtering, content filtering, anti-network attacks, ignoring WAN ping, etc., these functions can only play a general preventive role, can be said to be against the gentleman, the villain is still difficult to prevent.

In addition to the general security features, the router that adapts to Internet cafes should also have QoS features, line backup functions, MAC address bindings, detailed logging, and so on.

As a result of the use of each person in the Internet café is different, some like QQ video chat, some like online games, and some like to download movies, songs and so on. Online video and download will be very much in the broadband resources, especially the Thunder, BT and other download software, it will be unrestricted to occupy all broadband, how much it can eat. As a result, many network management personnel are trying to solve this problem, and some use such as "Terminator" and other Third-party software to control the flow, but the author tried this software, feel less ideal. The most effective solution should be the QoS function within the router. Here to explain to us, most of the market with QoS routers have the policy bar limit, more than 10 to hundreds of, meaning that the number of policies in the bandwidth management, such as Client 1 to 10 set to 50K Web browsing area, we set a policy. The client 11 to 30 is set to XX traffic, which is designated as the net transfer area, and is divided into a QoS policy mechanism. If you need to divide the number of bars too much, the router may not support so many, so you must ask when the purchase should be clear.
MAC address binding can prevent customers from modifying IP, such as the IP, QoS, and other restrictions will not be able to function. This functionality is already available for routers with QoS features in general.

The role of logging is very important, the more detailed the record the better. When an exception occurs in the network, log records to find the source of the problem, such as the IP address of the attack, each computer has abnormal operation.

There are many common functions of routers, Internet cafes are also used for multiple WAN access, FTP, virtual servers and so on, are commonly used in Internet cafes, here is not described in detail.

Next continue to talk about the stability of the router, we must not think that the router performance is high, fast is good, in fact, the key to the router is stable.

For example, the Internet café computers are high configuration, broadband is enough, is it cool? But a few times a day to break the net, it is estimated that the business of the Internet café will not be good to go there. Therefore, the choice of the router should be stable.

When it comes to disconnection, because the telecommunications broadband line is basically 1-2 days a break, now multiple WAN routers provide a line backup function, can solve this problem, this function is when the preferred line is interrupted, another backup line can do the back-up function of the interruption line.

In addition to the telecommunications factors, the poor routers will also have a broken network, often a day will break several times, and maintain a long time to reconnect, and even need to restart the power. Internet cafes broken Net is the Internet café owners do not want to see things, but to prevent such things happen does not seem easy, broken nets can only be avoided as far as possible.

Choose a good router is to prevent the basic network, and a good router is mainly the importance of software writing, the current router hardware chip is basically the same, not the CPU has changed is memory. Software is good or bad depends on the technical strength of the manufacturers, so we recommend that you buy a router when the preferred brand, and then look at the routing performance and functionality. An internet café can have hundreds of computers, but the router is only one, why save this little bit and very critical cost?
