    Locating the WAP in a new house

    All, We're building a house this fall and I have the opportunity to locate the ethernet port where the WAP will go (ASUS Black Diamond). It's a fairly standard 50' x 25' plan, two stories, so my thought is to locate the WAP basically dead center of that plan which would be the kitchen pantry...

    thanks for the advice - I was leaning toward just any crappy $20 item that popped up on slickdeals but I think you guys steered me away from that. as for the wired ports, it's a fixed option with the builder - I'll just tell them to wire every room and then I can take care of the tech side of...

    I'm looking at 56 not the 66. 66 is well outside what I would consider spending on a router. just personal preference.

    Thanks - will bookmark this for if and when the house gets built. For right now, my chief concern is getting a wireless router for my Comcast installation in a couple weeks. Plus my head is just SWIMMING with new house construction details so there's no room for anything else in there right now :)

    This is just leading me back to the Black Diamond router :) sigh... :) Prime Instant Video is Amazon - not sure why I didn't say that the first time. for size of house I currently have a split level where the wireless router is literally all the way on one side of the house and where...

    Information Overload - Help Needed

    clarification : 99% of our video watching is from Prime Instant Video to one of the iDevices. The other 1% is me watching movies from the WD MyBook Live (Not WD Live TV) to the TV - both wired devices. Based on your comments I am considering stepping off the dual band bandwagon and...

    Information Overload - Help Needed

    I feel really dumb right now. I'm actually fairly well versed in tech compared to my peers but I did the recommended reading and I am more confused than when I started. I'm looking at this link : http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/lanwan/router-charts/bar/76-total-simul What benchmark should I...
