Hello Everyone,

A brief intro about my Gaming Cafe,
1. # of PC's I am currently running a gaming cafe with 100 computers.
2. ISP 100mb Fiber Optic DSL connection
3. Switches 5x 24 pin "unmanaged switches" from Cisco (SG100-24)
4. Router E4200 Linksys-Cisco
5. Cables Cat6
6. Ethernet port Built in motherboard (GigaB P67A-UD3) - (ASUS P8P67-LE)

Problems we face are usually major lags in League of Legends especially. Also the shop sometimes faces internet disconnections. It might not be the router but i want to cancel the probability of the router being a cause.

kindly inform me which is the best suitable "wired router" as wireless is not needed, for the cafe.
my plan is to change the switch to management and configure the routers with portforwarding(QOS) by game category.

your cooperation is extremely appreciated.

thanks !
 
Lets start with this. You say you have fiber DSL, why is this only a 100mg output?

You need to try and change it to a 1gig.

You also say you have a E4200 router, why? Are you using it as a switch or a router and is it a 10/100 or a 1 gig?

Also the SG100's are only 10/100.

With 100 gaming computers, you need every thing running at 1gig.

I also run a very large system with a ton of traffic and this is what I use:

LevelOne Global - GSW-2457 24-Port Gigabit Switch


I also have DSL modem that has 1gig output to a 8 port 1gig switch that 6 of the above switchs are connected to as the 24 port switches do not have pass thru ablity.

I have been using this system for over three years with no problems.

The above switch is much cheaper then Cisco and just as solid.

If you have problems finding them contact me.
