I am building myself a home router using IPcop as the main OS, i have many switches around the house with a total of 9 devices sharing a gigabit network with a home server hosting videos, files, music, and host to both my Minecraft and Teamspeak servers. My primary is no longer handling the load, i wired this network with CAT6 Gigabit Ethernet cables and figured that the Gigabit Ethernet would be more reliable than a Wifi network, it was until we expanded from 5 devices to 9.
Here's a Diagram of the network:
I bought the DIR-655 because it shared many of the same components the DGL-4500 had and after my DGL-4500's power supply went faulty and i ruined it with a FW flash i figured it would be wise to get the DIR-655, which it has worked well until devices were piled on by Roommate 4. After this i bought the ASUS RT-N65U which was great! everything ran smooth! until one major downfall, no matter what i did, it refused to allow my servers to be accessed by friends and players of Minecraft and Teamspeak.
Now i'm having frequent losses of connectivity when games are updating or tv shows are downloading, whenever there is high traffic there is nearly NO connectivity, i looked into mainstream solutions and they all are roughly neutral in pro's and con's the ONLY router i saw that was almost all hype was the ASUS RT-N66U but after the sour taste in my mouth from the useless RT-N65U, i'm not using ASUS for anything more than soundcards and motherboards.
What i need to know is this:
What is the bare minimum a home made router needs in its CPU, i am upgrading my server and using the leftovers for the router.
If you wouldn't mind joining me in my teamspeak 3 server that would be much appreciated, i sometimes have a hard time reading peoples moods or tone of voice when just in text but in voice i can tell whether or not you're serious or sarcastic.
