    Would you use a QNAP NAS in this environment?

    Hi. I need a NAS (for Win client backup storage), simple SMTP server for limited outbound mail usage, and also to possibly to act as a Radius server for Enterprise Wifi auth. I also need a fairly entry level Win Server (Such as Essentials 2012) to be a file server, AD, DHCP, WSUS. Nothing...

    RT-AC68u - access point mode question

    If this router is set to access point mode, do the guest network features still work the same? In particular the ability to restrict access to the LAN (Intranet, as Asus calls it) for one of the secondary SSIDs? The Netgear R7000 does what all previous Netgear routers have done when set to...

    Deploying WPA2 Enterprise (Radius) inexpensively and reliably..

    So, I'm charged with deploying an 802.11n network in a two floor office with a staff of about 150 (only about 40 in office daily). Actual number of wifi devices online at any given time are 20 laptops and 30 phones/tablets. Looking at using Ubiquiti 2.4Ghz LR AP's (probably 2 per floor...

    Zyxel NWA3160N/3560N business access points

    Tim In the recent past you reviewed Cisco and Netgear's newer business AP's. Of particular notice is the Cisco dual band/single radio WAP321 with its multi SSIDs, VLAN support and Captive Portal. You also mentioned in your review how these APs do not offer centralized admin. That would mean...

    Tim, any chance to update RT-N66U review based on current firmware?

    Tim, There's been 3 new fw releases since the 3.1.0.3.90 version you tested. Seems that many complaints may be addressed and I'm keenly interested to see if someone can get the PPTP VPN server up and running. And if so, what kind of throughput is possible over PPTP.... Since this router...

    Drobo B1200i - time to start midnetbuilder.com?

    Tim $3K for 12 x 2TB Enterprise disks at retail. Where does the next $7K come from? They've got a :)purdy:) premium on their hardware.

    Ruckus 7363 review possibilities?

    Tim I'm fairly certain you've seen this. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/wi-fi-performance,2985.html I would like to see a review of the Ruckus 7363. I get its $600 list price is a showstopper for many SNB visitors, but there's plenty who come to SNB looking for solutions for larger...

    New To The Charts: NETGEAR ReadyNAS Pro 4

    Tim You mentioned the Ultra4 has an Atom D410 CPU - single core 1.67Ghz. You also mentioned the Pro4 has an Atom D510 CPU - dual core 1.67Ghz. You did not mention the Ultra4Plus which has the same (more limited) feature set as the Ultra4 but has the dual core D510 like the Pro2. The...

    New To The Charts: NETGEAR ReadyNAS Pro 2

    Tim In your performance review test you identified one of the CONS to be "Fast USB 3.0 backup only to EXT3 format". Later in your review you discussed backup tests runs and your comments were as follows: What you don't see in the Benchmark Summary are the results of my backup tests using a WD...

    Zyxel Zywall USG20 Review

    Tim Where did you get info that the USG20 LAN ports can be reassigned to be WAN ports? I am of the understanding that the USG20 is single WAN only. USG50/100 is dual WAN. USG200 is dual WAN with a single LAN port that can be reassigned (thus making the USG200 triple WAN). Am I behind on my...

    Sonicwall TZ100W review

    Tim Great review. One thing i didn't see in your pricing discussion are the support options. Most users will want to know up front that Sonicwall will cease to provide free firmware updates 90 days after registering the unit. For the first time Sonicwall isn't charging thieving rates for...

    Iomega StorCenter ix4-200d

    Tim Great review. I wonder why Iomega chose to use XFS file system. Maybe they hired a few engineers from the now defunct SGI?? When you discuss price comparisons, please keep in mind that the Readynas NVX 2TB (2 x 1TB Seagate ES2 drives) is $999 at Amazon, Eaegis.com and a couple other...

    An Old Standby Reborn: NETGEAR FVS318G Reviewed

    Tim That is some lousy IPSec VPN throughput. My 2+ year old Zywall 2+ has 3x better performance with IPSec VPN and also a bit better performance with basic Firewall throughput. If it wasn't for the Gigabit LAN ports, the Netgear would be a complete waste of time. Wait, with that level of...

    Netgear WNDR3700 shipping

    According to Yoh-Dah from Netgear Readynas support, this new dual band router just began shipping. See here: http://www.readynas.com/?p=2907 Appears to be another Atheros 9002 and 7161 CPU setup like the DIR-825 B1. I say that because they advertise 680Mhz and I know the 7161 CPU is...

    Tim I'm surprised you reached out to test this model. Competition is always good, but I have a hard time believing that Lucky Goldstar will take this seriously. My 2 cents.
