本文详细介绍了如何通过添加Netgear N600无线双频千兆路由器来提升家庭无线网络的覆盖和性能。作者原先的网络存在信号不稳定和速度慢的问题，通过将新路由器与现有FIOS路由器配合使用，解决了这些问题。新路由器提供了2.4GHz和5.0GHz两个独立频段，大大增强了无线覆盖范围，使得设备连接更加稳定，尤其对于802.11n设备来说，提高了无线速度和连接质量。
A few months ago I added a second wireless access point (AP) to my existing network in order to get better wireless coverage. We have a house that's kind of spread out and we were getting really spotty 802.11g around the house. Laptops we getting one or two bars, or worse yet, they were constantly negotiating network speeds and never getting a decent one. The iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, etc) would barely get any signal in certain rooms. It was certainly irritating.
几个月前，我在现有网络中添加了第二个无线接入点(AP)，以获得更好的无线覆盖范围。 我们有一所散布的房屋，并且房屋周围的802.11g参差不齐。 笔记本电脑我们得到一两个标准，或更糟糕的是，他们一直在协商网络速度，却从未获得过像样的速度。 iOS设备(iPhone，iPad等)在某些房间几乎不会收到任何信号。 这肯定很烦人。
So, I added a second identical AP with the same SSID upstairs so we could move between floors without trouble. However, this AP (some crappy standard one that came with the FIOS service) was/is really inconsistent. While the network architecture is solid, as is the idea behind my "add a second AP" post, the implementation using these 5 year old crappy routers was flaky at best.
因此，我在楼上添加了另一个具有相同SSID的相同AP，这样我们就可以在各个楼层之间移动而不会遇到麻烦。 但是，此AP( FIOS服务随附的一些糟糕的标准)确实是/不一致的。 尽管网络体系结构是可靠的，但正如我“添加第二个AP ”帖子背后的想法一样，使用这些使用了5年的cr脚的路由器的实现充其量只是轻而易举。
Techie Background: I have FIOS optical internet service, and have for the last 3 years. It's upgraded from 15Mbs to 35Mbs recently. The house is Gigabit Ethernet (all CAT6, see the related links below). All the wired devices are running through a Netgear GS724T-300 24-port Gigabit Smart Switch and all of the wireless devices are at least 2.4Ghz 802.11g, and some are 802.11n, with one being 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz.
技术背景：我拥有FIOS光学互联网服务，并且已经使用了三年。 最近它已从15Mbs升级到35Mbs。 房屋是千兆以太网(所有CAT6，请参见下面的相关链接)。 所有有线设备都通过Netgear GS724T-300 24端口千兆智能交换机运行，所有无线设备至少为2.4Ghz 802.11g，有些为802.11n，其中一个为2.4Ghz或5Ghz。
Since I have a home office, meaning I literally work at home 90% of the time for my living, having flaky wireless is a problem. I decided to start researching a better solution. I decided to add a new wireless router. I figured that it was insane for one house to have to APs and that surely if a cell phone could work over miles that a freaking wireless network router could cover a single house. I found the solution in the Netgear N600 Gigabit.
由于我有家庭办公室，这意味着我几乎90％的时间都在家工作，因此无线网络不稳定是一个问题。 我决定开始研究更好的解决方案。 我决定添加一个新的无线路由器。 我认为，一所房子必须要有AP，这真是太疯狂了，而且可以肯定的是，如果一部手机可以工作数英里，那么一个破旧的无线网络路由器就可以覆盖一所房子。 我在Netgear N600千兆位中找到了解决方案。
Here's the idea:
这是想法：
However, there are some important notes when adding a new wireless router to an existing system that is already performing these functions
但是，将新的无线路由器添加到已经执行了这些功能的现有系统时，有一些重要注意事项
- Passing out IP addresses via HDCP通过HDCP传递IP地址
- Acting as a wireless access point with lots of existing clients充当具有许多现有客户端的无线访问点
- Has existing static IP leases setup, existing quality of service (QoS) settings 具有现有的静态IP租约设置，现有的服务质量(QoS)设置
Stated differently, my existing router is nicely and intricately configured for my house. It works fine and I like it fine, except it has crappy wireless. I want to add a new wireless router without disturbing what already works. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
换句话说，我现有的路由器是为我的房子精心配置的。 它工作正常，我喜欢它，但无线功能很差。 我想添加一个新的无线路由器而不打扰已有的工作。 如果没有损坏，请不要修复。
I picked up a Netgear N600 Wireless Gigabit Router. Note that there are two versions of this, one with a large bright LED on the outside and one without. The one without has 4 Gigabit LAN ports, and that's the better router.
我拿起了Netgear N600无线千兆路由器。 请注意，有两种版本，一种在外部带有大亮度LED，而另一种则没有。 一个没有4个千兆LAN端口的路由器，那是更好的路由器。
Let me tell you that this router is awesome. I figured I'd be moving from a 3-5 year old crappy router to some better router, sure, but not a totally awesome Swiss Army Knife. Networking has come a long way since 2005 or whenever my stock router was made.
让我告诉你，这个路由器很棒。 我以为我会从3-5年的router脚router刀改成更好的router刀，但绝对不是一件很棒的瑞士军刀。 自2005年以来，或者在制造我的备用路由器时，联网已经走了很长一段路。
This Netgear is awesome because of these features:
由于以下功能，该Netgear很棒：
- Two separate bands for wireless, each with 300Mbs of independent bandwidth. There's 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz frequencies. Nice for copying VMs over wireless. I made a "HANSELMAN" and "HANSELMAN-N" network. 两个单独的无线频段，每个频段具有300Mb的独立带宽。 有2.4GHz和5.0GHz频率。 非常适合通过无线复制VM。 我制作了一个“ HANSELMAN”和“ HANSELMAN-N”网络。
- Four Gigabit Ethernet points. Not needed for me, but it's nice to have four more Gigabit ports. 四个千兆以太网点。 对我来说不是必需的，但是再增加四个千兆端口真是太好了。
Eight internal antennas - Seriously, this thing has insane range. I had already added an external antenna to my FIOS router and still had bad range. This little Netgear covers 3500+ square feet and more. I'm thrilled with the range. I don't need two routers anymore. Adding this router totally achieved my goal.
八个内置天线-说真的，这个东西的范围很疯狂。 我已经在FIOS路由器中添加了一个外部天线，但范围仍然很差。 这个小小的Netgear占地3500平方英尺以上。 我对范围感到兴奋。 我不再需要两个路由器。 添加此路由器完全实现了我的目标。
There were a few gotchas. I still need my ISP's router because it's the bridge to the ISP and the Optical Network Terminal (ONT) they installed on the house. It's also totally configured as I like.
有一些陷阱。 我仍然需要ISP的路由器，因为它是通向ISP和他们安装在房屋内的光网络终端(ONT)的桥梁。 我也完全配置了它。
Here's the steps I took:
这是我采取的步骤：
Logged into the FIOS ActionTec at http://192.168.1.1 and disabled the wireless interface. I confirmed that the "HANSELMAN" network was no longer showing up.
登录http://192.168.1.1的FIOS ActionTec并禁用无线接口。 我确认“ HANSELMAN”网络不再出现。
Plugged the Netgear directly into my laptop and visited it's default IP of http://10.0.0.1. I disabled the new router's DHCP (this is crucial).
将Netgear直接插入我的笔记本电脑，并访问其默认IP http://10.0.0.1 。 我禁用了新路由器的DHCP(这很关键)。
Important Trick: I temporarily plugged the new Netgear's yellow "external network" directly into the FIOs ActionTec so the Netgear could update its firmware the first time and get the initial setup wizard would stop nagging me. The router expects to be hooked up in this way at least initially, so you need to satisfy its setup.
重要窍门：我暂时将新的Netgear的黄色“外部网络”直接插入FIO ActionTec中，以便Netgear可以第一次更新其固件并获得初始设置向导，从而不再困扰我。 路由器至少应该以这种方式连接，因此您需要满足其设置要求。
After the Netgear is configured, now unplug the yellow external LAN wire and instead plug into one of the standard four ethernet ports into either your switch (that's what I did, gigabit to gigabit) or directly into your ISP's router. We want the new router to get an IP address from our existing router and route traffic and DHCP requests to the ISP's router. To be clear: Setting up your new router in this way will leave the yellow upstream external network port empty, despite what the documentation says.
配置完Netgear之后，现在拔下黄色的外部LAN线，而是将标准的四个以太网端口之一插入您的交换机(这就是我所做的，从千兆位到千兆位)或直接插入到ISP的路由器中。 我们希望新路由器从现有路由器获取IP地址，并将流量和DHCP请求路由到ISP的路由器。 需要说明的是：尽管文档中有说明，以这种方式设置新路由器会将黄色的上游外部网络端口留空。
On the new router, setup the 2.4GHz wireless network with your SSID, and the 5GHz wireless network with something like YOURSSID-N. Here's what I did:
在新路由器上，使用您的SSID设置2.4GHz无线网络，并使用YOURSSID-N等设置5GHz无线网络。 这是我所做的：
Now I've got 192.x.x.x addresses being handed out on two wireless networks. My Wireless-N network is getting 300Mbs throughput on my Lenovo, as its Intel Wireless LAN does 5Ghz 802.11n. Also, my iOS devices are using 2.4Ghz 802.11n and are suddenly a LOT snappier on large downloads and email.
现在，我已经在两个无线网络上分发了192.xxx个地址。 我的Wireless-N网络在我的Lenovo上获得了300Mbs的吞吐量，因为它的Intel Wireless LAN具有5Ghz 802.11n。 另外，我的iOS设备正在使用2.4Ghz 802.11n，突然在大量下载和电子邮件中成为很多抢手。
I'm absolutely thrilled with the a Netgear N600 Wireless Gigabit Router. It's the top of the line for the house, definitely a "prosumer" router and a really nice upgrade to any existing system if you know a little about setting up your network. Totally recommended.
我对Netgear N600无线千兆路由器感到非常兴奋。 如果您对设置网络有所了解的话，它就是这家公司的顶级产品，绝对是“生产型”路由器，并且可以很好地升级到任何现有系统。 完全推荐。
