Wired plus Wireless campus dormitory cross-floor network combat

For the school network, we face most of the situation is the same floor, then if the students on different floors to achieve wireless interconnection, it means that the need for more reasonable networking, more appropriate placement and performance of more powerful products.

Below, we take the combination of K8 and GR55 as an example to give you a brief introduction.

The advantage of K8 is that the processor is strong and can withstand a large number of connections and bandwidth usage. This is because: K8 is designed to meet the needs of campus networking and home networking, especially the use of High-performance MIPS processor, superior performance, simple configuration. AFR-K8 High Performance Broadband routers provide a wide range of management functions, such as system, DHCP server, virtual server, DMZ host, firewall and static routing table management. AFR-K8 high-performance Broadband Router has a full Chinese configuration interface, simple configuration, easy to operate. The Quick Configuration Wizard makes it easy for you to achieve network connectivity and management. The full "help" function, at each step of your operation, have a clear and detailed "help" description, so that you easily master the complex network configuration.

And GR55 is a superior performance of the wireless router, inexpensive, features more, with QoS, WDS and other more advanced features. Set of wireless router and wireless AP function in one, provides a 10m/100m Ethernet (WAN) interface, can connect xDSL modem/cabmodem/ethernet, internal integrated four-port switch, provide four 10/100m Ethernet (LAN) interface. In addition, AFW-GR55 can also be used as a network switch, and has remote management, support SSID broadcast control and access control based on MAC address, personalized customized point-to-point communication software client, firewall and other functions. Simple and crisp light, so that users of the AFW-GR55 operating state at a glance.

Now let's take a look at how to group Internet cafes:

Can see, we only need to use a network cable will the upper and lower layers of K8 and GR55 connection, the GR55 Internet mode set to automatically obtain IP, and then, the following floor of the students can use wireless or wired to the Internet or and upstairs with the classmate online battle! Of course, if the number of small, a GR55 is enough, but a few dormitories, two floors together, we still put the K8 as a better dial-up routing, in the speed and stability have a better guarantee!

After the net, we tested the signal between upstairs and downstairs:

Using NetIQChariot5.4 for performance testing:

Chariot is one of the top network business and performance testing software that can simulate numerous commercial applications such as HTTP, FTP, AD, Exchange, SQL, Oracle, and SAP.

Chariot is the world's only recognized application layer of IP network and network equipment testing software, can provide end-to-end, multiple operating systems, multi-protocol testing, multiple application simulation test, its application range includes wired, wireless, local area, wide area network and network equipment, can be network fault location, user complaints analysis, System evaluation, network optimization and so on. Test network or network parameters (throughput, response time, latency, jitter, packet loss, etc.) from the user's point of view.

Chariot working principle:

Chariot and the general network management system and some online monitoring systems are essentially different. The network management system and some on-line monitoring systems adopt passive monitoring, while the chariot adopts active monitoring and measurement, and the network management system and some on-line monitoring systems provide qualitative measurement, while chariot take quantitative measurements.

The chariot test principle is to test the performance of network devices or network systems in real-world environments by generating simulated real traffic and using end-end method. Can be widely used in switch,router,wireless,qos,multicasting and network and other aspects of functional and performance testing.

The basic components of chariot include chariot consoles and endpoint. Chariot console can run on various Windows platforms in Microsoft. A variety of possible test topologies and test business types can be defined on the chariot console. Endpoint can run on virtually all operating systems that are currently prevalent. Chariot endpoint can take full advantage of the resources running the host, perform the script commands issued by the chariot console, and complete the required tests.

Although it is upstairs downstairs wireless transmission, but the combination of K8 and GR55 performance is very good. And can meet whether the desktop or notebook networking requirements, to bring great convenience to students.

Summarize:

The combination of K8 and GR55, Wired plus wireless, has been able to meet the needs of more than 20 machines online. Especially for the upper and lower floors of the network sharing, K8 of the strong-effect processor, plus GR55 powerful wireless capabilities. GR55 also to a certain extent to reduce the burden of K8, but also reduce the very troublesome wiring or disorderly pull. If you want to expand to a larger range, you can also take advantage of the GR55 WDS feature, with several GR55 to form a large distributed wireless network!
