Re: Fibre speeds, Langford BC
Thank you! Yes, I’m currently considering a Netgear wired router to optimize my internet speed while keeping my business VPN network separate from my family’s network. I’m trying to determine the best setup for this. In the near future, I’ll need two 10Gb ports for my LAN network (one for my server and one for my computer). However, my computer will also be pulling information from the web. My main dilemma is whether it’s worth investing in a Netgate 6100 router, which has two 10Gb ports—allowing me to potentially bypass a switch for now and expand later. This could help with future-proofing my network. Alternatively, I could opt for a less expensive 2.5Gb router and instead purchase a 10Gb managed switch for my LAN. However, I also need to factor in VPN capabilities, ensuring the router can handle my business VPN efficiently. Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!1.5KViews0likes1CommentRe: Fibre speeds, Langford BC
Thanks for the heads-up! I’ve read about this and currently plan to port forward through the FXA5000 router (assuming that’s the model provided upon installation) and connect it via LAN to my home business router/network. Right now, I’m researching a new router that can handle high traffic loads. I’m also debating whether it’s worth future-proofing for higher speeds, or if I should hold off since Telus may take time to upgrade their fiber speeds.1.6KViews0likes3CommentsFibre speeds, Langford BC
I'm a resident of Langford, BC, and I'm interested in any updates regarding potential speed enhancements to TELUS's PureFibre internet service in our area. Specifically, are there plans to increase speeds to 5 Gbps or higher? Back in June of last year, there were media announcements about TELUS's commitment to enhancing wireless connectivity and expanding the PureFibre network to more homes and businesses in this area. I'm curious if these initiatives include upgrading existing PureFibre connections in Langford to higher speeds or just expanding the existing fibre network. Thank you for any information or guidance anyone can provide.1.7KViews0likes5Comments
