Summary of Findings
1. Based on the design requirements and decisions that have been made, what routers would you
recommend for Klamath? Do some Internet research to find a router that will meet Klamaths
needs and write two or three paragraphs about the product and why you chose it.
The router I would recommend is the Asus RT-N66U. PC World in 2013 found that this
was the best router for both the home and home office. This router is compatible with the
802.11n standard. The reviewers found that it is the fastest 802.11n router. Furthermore, the
Quality of Service (QoS) feature has three different modes. The router can be configured to set
priorities for specific types of network traffic. In addition, the encryption includes WPA2 and
WPS, as well as WPA2 Enterprise and support for RADIUS authentication server (Brown, 2013).
With the compatibility features to 802.11 ac routers, its low price, its support of
videoconferencing, and good bandwidth, this router would meet the needs of Klamath. Its
performance on the 2.4GHz frequency band was well above any other competitor. Another
article reviewing this router states that It provides 2.4GHz- and 5GHz-band Wi-Fi concurrently
(Unsworth, 2016). The router also allows users to connect to the Internet in different ways. The
available bandwidth of this router also makes it ideal for bandwidth hungry tasks like 3D HD
video streaming and multiplayer gaming, while at the same time still enabling you to surf the
web and download/share files. It's also jam-packed with features such as a built in VPN server, a
firewall that you can customize, QoS and IPv6 support (Mohr, 2013).
3. Klamath doesnt seem too concerned about security. This should concern you. Write a
proposal for Klamath that discusses a security project that you would like to do for Klamath to
4. Research a Metro Ethernet service that is offered by a vendor in your country (or another
country if your country doesnt have Metro Ethernet). Write a one-page paper that describes the
service in technical terms. Also, include pricing information if it is available.
