I bought that today for a mere 70β?¬ ... it is considered one of the best routers around... you can also buy the 9108A which is identical but also features Wireless access (802.11b/g) and looks like this :



The package is satisfactory, containign all you can see here :



The product is an ADSL/ADSL2+ router, featuring speeds up to 24Mbps. Firewall enabled using "Stateful Packet Inspection", 4port Ethernet switch, a USB print server etc etc

A good choice for low money, the wireless model costs 110β?¬.. .and i am wireless ready, already so why take that ?

Έχω αγοράσει το 9107a, δυστυχώς όμως δεν έχω καταφέρει να ρυθμίσω τον web server, αλλά ούτε και τον print server της συσκευής. Έχω στείλει email στην US Robotics αναφέροντας τα προβλήματα αυτά. Η απάντησή τους ήταν αντιγραφή του εγχειριδίου!!!! Επειδή διάβασα ότι κατάφερες να τη ρυθμίσεις για εξωτερική πρόσβαση μήπως θα ήταν εύκολο να αναφέρεις τι ακριβώς έχεις κάνει; Έχω χρησιμοποιήσει σαν Web Servers και τον Apache αλλά και το IIS τον Windows.

δεν είναι δύσκολο να δρομολογήσεις την port 80 προς την εσωτερική IP του server σου, έχεις εμπειρία με αυτά ?

έχω δοκιμάσει και την port 80 αλλά και την 8080. παρόλα αυτά όταν προσπαθώ από εξωτερικό υπολογιστή φαίνεται ότι δεν υπάρχει δρομολόγηση. επιπλέον πρέπει να πω ότι χρησιμοποιώ το firewall της mcafee το οποίο επίσης έχω ρυθμίση να έχει ανοιχτή την port 80 ή 8080 ανάλογα ποιά έχω ρυθμίση στο port forward της συσκευής.

για τις δοκιμές σου :

1. ρίξε εντελώς το firewall ώστε να ξέρεις τι γίνεται

2. πας στο USR : Security > Virtual Servers :

Server Name : WEB
External Port Start : 80
External Port End : 80
Protocol : TCP
Internal Port Start : 80
Internal Port End : 80
Server IP Address : η εσωτερική IP του Web Server

Προσοχή: ΔΕΝ θα μπορείς να δείς τον Web Server από μέσα από το δίκτυο σου παρά μόνο από το υπόλοιπο Internet

Αν βρώ χρόνο και δεν έχεις πρόβλημα, μπορώ να συνδεθώ απομακρυσμένα και να το στήσω

Έχω κάνει ακριβώς αυτά που αναφερείς, γι' αυτό και έχω απελπιστεί και αρχίζω να πιστεύω ότι υπάρχει πρόβλημα με την ίδια τη συσκευή.

πάντως από την ώρα που αναβάθμισα την γραμμή σε ADSL2+ (4096/256) αρχίσαν τα προβλήματα...

και μετά από άπειρα restart ( το router μετά από μουλάρια ή uTorrent απλά παγώνει ) και firmware upgrade/downgrades...

διάβασα κι αυτό στο επίσημο eMule forum & ξενέρωσα :

QUOTE(forum.emule-project.net)
Us Robotics 9107/91108/9107a/9108a Sucks Big Time, problems with USR 9107 and 9108



US Robotics 9107/91108/9107A/9108A sucks big time, those two and I believe all newer models than those two are lamest of all routers I tried.
Firstly, maybe those routers are equipped with a good hardware (processor 200-250 MHz) (and medium memory size of 6-12mb), but they are configured for nothing, in my eyes, they are worthless.
They are based on BCM96345 chip, with BusyBox v1.00 and who knows which Linux kernel they used for the engine.

They have problems with every P2P over 120 opened full connections, and they have problems if you use DHT from any torrent with over 300 connection DHT connections, modem will slow-up with extreme lag, and it will kill web-telnet-ssh access or it will gave extreme lag to them, but after some time it will freeze-up, and after some time (from 2-12H modem will freeze-up completely even internet and LAN), in a first case you can free router with simple short restart, but for second big freeze-up, only solution is big or deep restart over 20 seconds.
Who knows maybe they have mem leak or maybe mem size isn't enough for even medium P2P job, or internal firewall identifies lots of connections as some sort of evil attack, which than slows down whole router. This is the LAME as hell.

Second big fook-up is if your ISP Authentication server is down, you can forget about automatic reconnection and automatic re-authorization, stupid fools from US Robotics decided that some of the pppd options should be fitted with culture low settings, options such "persist","holdoff" and "maxfail".
How router will react if Auth.Server is out,
it will try for 3 or 4 times to re-authorization for just 1 or 2 minutes. Which, of course, is not enough even for little server downs.
You can try your US robotics how its set for such action,
first enable system log into the status section of WUI, than when you eneter, click on configure, than click on "enable log", than set to the "local" and than set the log level to "informational", and the display level to "error".
Now you can set wrong user name or password intentionally into the Internet/Wan setup, and edit your current wan connection with wrong user name or password, than when you finish editing, router will restart.
After it restart wait for about 1 or 2 minutes and go to status/system log and look at the log, or refresh log constanlly just to see whats going on, you will see how much time router retries to re-auth. I saw with above mentioned models only 3-4 retries, and let me remand you 10 retries are the almost default on lamest of all routers. 3-4 times could be Lamest of the Lamest's. On normal good routers this value is fitted with 0(zero) value which represent infinitive retries.



Third problem is this routers are very problematic for FTP connections in Active mode if you are using other ports than 21-23, I'm using lots of FTP servers on ports 5794-6001, and I had no luck to set this router to receive the list from the FTP in ACTIVE mode. I tried to forward, to dmz, to virtual port. The moment my friends change the ports 5794 to 21, modem instantly fly's in Active. Again lame and worthless.


Please look what US Robotics said about their routers:
"Regarding the P2P issue, this is not a router designed with intensive P2P usage in mind, but it performs quite well with 50-100 sources. Slowness in the WUI is quite normal when the router is dealing with such number of connections. It is definitely not a P2P oriented router, but it should deliver for most of domestic users."
quoted from Rebollo, Jaime UK US Robotics technical support.

"9107/9108, There's no option for disabling Firewall and NAT (using PPPoE or PPPoA) but neither was there such an option in the 9105/06. However it is possible to disable NAT/Firewall using IPoA or MER. (In the 9105/06 it is possible to disable the NAT/Firewall from telnet, that's true, but as an undocumented feature)"
again quoted from Rebollo, Jaime UK US Robotics technical support.

US Robotics Support is lame and slow, they cant and they want help you.

I strongly advice you to stay away from any US Robotics router, till the moment someone decide to make open source modified firmware which is optimized for advance things.


If you have some ideas please make some suggestions.

Έχω και εγώ ακριβώς το ίδιο πρόβλημα αλλά με το 9108Α.

Έκανα forward την 80 στο pc με τον apache, και προσπελάυνοντας την my_alias.dyndns.org στο οποίο έχω αντιστοιχήσει την ip με πετάει πάντα στο webinterface. Η πλάκα είναι πως απο οποιοδήποτε pc που να είναι στο LAN πας να προσπελάσεις τον ευατό του(127.0.0.1) πάλι θα ανοίξει το webinterface!!!

What to you mean? Shouldn't the port forwarding and disabling the outside access to the webinterface be sufficient?

I can help you if you grant me remote access, but speculating is not my strong point default.wink.gif
