Home 100% uptime?

Question

Computer networks

Dear habravchan, please tell me a way to organize 100% Internet uptime at home, in Moscow, in the budget of 2kr per month and 5kr at the start.
The thickness of the channel is not so important, the traffic is also.
Perhaps there are any budgetary ways to organize an instant reconnection to another wire when the current one breaks?

Answer 1

linksys has routers with two wan ports. But they cost more than 5kr.
And so - any system manager, search on Habré on the topic of balancing two channels in Linux =)

Answer 2

Even if there are two channels, it will not save if the house loses electricity.

Answer 3

From a cheap ancient laptop and Linux, you can make an excellent router with channel balancing, a proxy server, hosting, a torrent downloader, a media player, blackjack and whores.
and if it also has a slightly lively battery, then saving on an uninterruptible power supply.
The only problem is that you need to be able to set it all up.

Answer 4

Well, 100% will not work, but close to that it is quite and very simple.
Ok, we need two providers. One is any wired, the other is one of our favorite wireless operators with 3G or wimax or CDMA.
We buy a modern router Asus RT-N16 (4000 rubles) or NETGEAR WRNL3500L (3000 rubles).
We install the firmware from enthusiasts from the wl500g.info
forum Now you can put, for example, a 3G ZTE MF626 modem (800 rubles) or WIMAX Samsung SWC-U200 (1800 rubles) into the USB port of the router.
All adventures on setting up a router on the same forum.
For those who are especially paranoid, you can look for a simple UPS like CyberPower (1300 rubles), it will be able to provide half an hour of autonomy for the router.

Answer 5

We are looking for Dir-320 on sale (once I took a couple for 1300r, now they sell them for 3000r), download the firmware for Yota from the offsite (dlink.ru), buy the Yotovsky modem. We plug a cable from the ethernet provider you like into the WAN port, and a modem into the USB. Auto-switching is implemented regularly, in native firmware.

Answer 6

A couple of additional tips and generalizations:
1. Install UPS on the router, and it should ONLY serve the router, and mb - the modem in the load. The reason is banal
: some thread of a server is able to take out a battery in 20 minutes, and electricians in our country can get there for two hours ...
.
I’ll explain why: stupidly, wired providers have routers in the entrance, as a result, when the light goes out, there is a chance that they will also get it ... And wireless and ADSL are located far from home and there is a chance that they will fall - only if the whole area or city is covered!
3. ADSL, although slower, is better as a reserve: MGTS has a tariff “for a backup channel” - 20 easy rubles per month + according to the number of days on which you activated this channel.
The channel is via WiMax, 3G or WiFi - you have to pay constantly, whether you use it or not, because. activation of "daily" tariffs they have in manual mode!
4. If you decide to use not a router for routing, but a server, it’s better to take something like a simple laptop: in Linux, in terminal mode, the old EEE 701 was pulled out on your native account up to 12 hours of autonomy !!!

Answer 7

If everything goes through the gateway on Windows, then try Kerio. He can. We use just the mode you need. You will quickly understand the settings.

Answer 8

Why still not hosting or renting in a data center?

Answer 9

if the telephone line is good and fast uptime is not required, then ADSL will be a very good choice. either a computer with two network cards, or a router with two WAN ports. as an option also WiMAX, if the coverage is stable. The same Yota whistle can be plugged into a router, powered by UPS - and now there are two channels, a Yota router and DSL.
