Apple Time Capsule/Apple Airport Extreme with latest firmware works great

I was told by CamC to put the router down on this list. He just helped me get my Sim up and running tonight. I wouldn't have done it without him. Very smart. So now back to business. This NetGear router works well. To be honest we were thinking maybe it wasn't working. But we had put a wrong IP in the port forwarding setting. We put the External IP address in the area where the Internal one goes. So remember that when you are setting up your port forwarding. The name exact on this router is: NetGear RP614v4. It is actually very low in price. I forget what I paid for it. It might have been refurbished for maybe 15.00. Something very reasonable. Let me go look up what you can get this on Amazon for brb.....okay on Amazon you can get a used one from somebody for 11.50. Or new from 30.00. So figure 40 bucks delivered. Maybe kick around a used one. People just want an upgrade and the things still work. So for 11.50 that might do it.

But to quickly elaborate on how simple it is to set up your port forwarding it really is very simple. I was talking about port forwarding before we did it tonight like it was working on the space shuttle with the complexity of the highest degree. Believe me wannabe sim serving people getting these things up on this grid is really pretty simple. What needs to be done is some good tutorials. Or maybe a few video tutorials. It was just a few hours ago I felt the same way you may be feeling how this may never happen for you and it is just too difficult. Well have confidence because you can do it.

So order your NetGear RP614v4 today and good luck!!

Scientific Atlanta 2320 Router works properly with the software OpenSimulator. Easy setup. Currently working 10 regions without any problem.

I've used two routers successfully in setting up the OpenSim grid I'm developing: Netgear FR114P ProSafe Firewall (wired router) and Linksys WRT54GL v1.1. The Netgear FR114P is fairly old; I've had it for probably ten years.

I use both routers in my home system, which includes computers in the main house and in my home office in an adjacent building. I wanted to use the Linksys WRT54GLfor my OpenSim server, but at first I found it challenging to set up, so I used the Netgear FR114P, which was fairly easy to set up after some experimenting.

The FR114P worked well, but for logistical reasons in my house, I needed to use the WRT54GL, however I had trouble configuring it for OpenSim with the official Linksys firmware. I got it to work with OpenSim, but it had conflicts with another device on my network. I solved the problem last night by installing Tomato firmware. With Tomato, the WRT54GL became a breeze to set up. It just took minutes.

You can learn more about Tomato at http://www.polarcloud.com/tomatofaq and at http://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?forums/tomato-firmware.33 .

If problems develop with the Tomato firmware, I'll post again about it, but so far it's been up for 12 hours and my users have had no problem accessing my world.

Netgear N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem Router DGND3700
Very easy to set up and works well.
My new one's been up for two weeks now and not dropped out once.

How to set it...

Routerlogin.net
Attached devices
Device IP 192.***.*.*
Port forwarding/port triggering
Add custom server
Name (OSGrid)
TCP/UDP 9000/9000
Server IP 192.***.*.*
Apply

That's it.

My cable modem has a wifi router built in. The brand name is ubee however the interface page says 'Ambit Broadband'.

It works fine, now..... but only after port forwarding.

I set up the port forwarding using the tutorial at http://portforward.com/ and use their free tools to verify that the UDP ports were open. They also have a free static IP tool. I logged into the router settings using the 192.***.** and used the login name and password provided by my cable company. Currently running 6 regions, and upgraded to 7.4 today.


My router info :
ubee
u10c022.01 LF
Ports forwarded 9000 - 9010 I went ahead and opened /forwarded a block of ports for my existing regions and for future expansion (both udp and tcp).

the Ubiquti AirRouters do after following that link (changing IP Tables)

Dlink dir 825 ( a good router)
installed DD-WRT sp2 v24 firmware latest version brainwalker 03/19/12
work like a charm! (serving region through wifi)
just you need to add command for enable loopback

in administration/commands add as firewall rule

insmod ipt_mark
insmod xt_mark
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i ! `get_wanface` -d `nvram get wan_ipaddr` -j MARK --set-mark 0xd001
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -m mark --mark 0xd001 -j MASQUERADE

D-Link DIR655 Hardwareversion A4, Firmware Version 1,35 EU works for me, a range of ports can be put in the section portforwarding, such as 9000-9008 for the static IP
the server runs on, and another entry for the range 9100-910x for Http_listener_port for this same IP. Static IP's , using DHCP or not, using reserved Static Ip's, all seems to work well .
So, one expects if somebody buys a DIR-655 and asks for help that it should be very simple to have all setup and go within 10 minutes.
But, unfortunally the DIR-655 Hardwareversion B1 , Firmware 2,00 NA, ( new router but old? firmware dated may 2010!!), and upgraded to B1, FW 2,03 NA aren't capable of proper portforwarding, although the website portforwarding.com tells us another story.
We did not try the latest firmware (B1, FW 2,07) since the Doc file describing all the firmwareversions didn't give me much hope solving the problem would be possible using this latest firmware.
At first portforwarding seemed to work, since residents could TP to the region, and even the owner could TP to the region, and whas authorized and registered as incoming client from the server pc , and also while using another PC within the same local network.
Also the owner was seen by the serverconsole while landing on a nearby region out there ...for a few seconds.
But,for some reason the 9000 range of ports were closed after a few seconds for the owner, at local side , and a TP to the region was possible, but before the cloud was rezzed the viewer gets closed, and the progress bar from the viewer at login stops at region handshake ,and all you see is a message about not beeing able to go there, and watch existing IM or chat.
Server console shows 1 red line " The Operation has timed out at System.net HttpWebRequest.GetRequestStream (TransportContext&Context) ".
Using static IP's only, or static with DHCP, or with and reserved adress for the server, or static only outside the 100 to 199 range, with SPI on and off, Upnp on and off ,DNS relay QoS ,well just nothing seemed to work. Also the loopback adapter for WIN or the http://sprd.simplaza.net/UDProxy/ did not work.
Finally the only option that worked whas using virtual server instead and forget about portforwarding.
In the virtual server list open entries for each 900x port you want for your regions and set to " both", for the static IP the server works at ,and you're done.
So, DIR-655 HardwareVersion A4, Firmware Version 1,35 EU, works as you expect , shown by portforwarding.com.
DIR-655 HardwareVersion B1, Firmware Version 2,00 NA or 2,03 NA does not work as expected and virtual server has to be used instead.

Netgear N600 DGND3700v2 Modem/Router

This is what Garry Beaumont recommended..however I got in a terrible pickle with it, even thinking the v2 version was no longer loopback compatible...but it was just me fuddling it and I worked out next day when I was more clear headed....Here are dummies instructions in case somebody else has same experience!




It's a very swish looking thing and has prolly more goodies than I'll ever use on it...it's fibre optic compatible too.
