Tim, a thought on a VM test for the TS-x51
Yes, I can see how that would work too. But on the other hand, would you really want to use this hardware for such a purpose? (x51 series I mean) Even if you are on a tight budget, this is probably going to frustrate you. The fact that the x53 series uses a quad core CPU as compared to a... -

Tim, a thought on a VM test for the TS-x51
Indeed! To be honest, It was actually that article that made me realize I had already asked you that very same question (and had forgotten to check for the answer :rolleyes:) , and if I'm not mistaken, asked Tim if he could test that out too. I'm glad he did, but indeed, it's not very hard to... -

Tim, a thought on a VM test for the TS-x51
@wchpitt: sorry for the tardy response, I lost track of this thread... :( But I glad I found it back, because the info you provide is once again very informative and could be of very good use to me. Thank you! -

Tim, a thought on a VM test for the TS-x51
@wchpitt: thanks for your posts, they are very infomative. I've been wondering, did you swap your x51 for a x53 now, and did you already try Sophos UTM with it? Very curious to see how that pans out. Also thanks for pointing me towards the fact that Qnap doesn't seem to have alternative... -

Tim, a thought on a VM test for the TS-x51
Very interesting path to follow. Who knows, one day a NAS may also be able to replace the router (pfSense in a VM?). The way I understand it, is currently the x51 series is limited to one VM running at a time, but it's also a sort of "first generation product", so I'm guessing this will... -

Qnap TS-451 or Synology DS415play
You follow about the same reasoning as I do. The QNAP seems to do everything the Synology does, plus a few extras like virtualisation. And it comes with faster hardware as well. I don't plan on on buying a NAS very often, so it's supposed to last a couple of years. Bearing that in mind, I'd... -

Qnap TS-451 or Synology DS415play
Thanks Tim. Do I really need such a beefy NAS? Well, what is needing? I don't own a business, I'm a home owner. But I am a home owner who doens't like to wait, so... :) The Synology DTS issue concerns the not playing of transcoded files if they contain a DTS audio track (because of lack... -

Qnap TS-451 or Synology DS415play
I've been looking at the Synology DS415play, but it seems to have some drawbacks. For one, its main feature, the transcoding of video, doesn't seem to work when there's DTS involved. Then there's Qnap with their new TS-451 NAS. It seems to hold all the cards, even capable of running... -

R7000 with DD-WRT - thinking of replacing
OK, update. I've just done some tweaks to my browser which have made a lot of difference! So it seems my router wasn't at fault at all. :rolleyes: I've still got the idea that my wired connection with my DIR-655 was faster, but with these tweaks its very workable able so the annoyance...- Bart

R7000 with DD-WRT - thinking of replacing
I'll try with a different system first then. To be honest, my windows 8 install is now a few years old, and it was an upgrade from a Windows 7 install to begin with. So maybe it's time to do a completely fresh setup... I've been meaning to try Ubuntu for a while now, maybe this is a good...- Bart

R7000 with DD-WRT - thinking of replacing
Can you get single SSID and 'roaming' features with multiple routers converted to AP using WDS? How do you do that? Also, you claim that Ubiquity doesn't score high on the reliability chain? That's a first for me. Usually everybody has very high praise for this brand. This is probably the...- Bart

R7000 with DD-WRT - thinking of replacing
I'm using a Core i7 PC with 16GB RAM, SSD and Windows 8.1 with all the latest drivers. Using both FireFox and Chrome. My laptop is a Core i5 model with 8 GB ram, SSD and Windows 7. For a tablet I'm using iPad Air and also iPhone 5. So you see, this is all very recent hardware. The problem...- Bart

R7000 with DD-WRT - thinking of replacing
6 months ago, I bought a Netgear R7000 to replace my ageing D-link DIR-655. The D-link was still going strong, but the problem was it's WiFi didn't cover the entire house. So after reading some reviews, I bought an R7000. The stock firmware was reasonably good, but I wanted good VPN...- Bart

Please help me understand my LAN / router / switch problem
Sorry for the tardy response, I've just haven't had the extra time to put into this problem. Your suggestion is a good one though. I'll see if I can set this up asap and will report back here about it. -

Please help me understand my LAN / router / switch problem
:) Thanks! I've just looked at the LED of the Procurve (the Netgear isn't installed anymore), and it says Gigabite (which it clearly isn't) I've found a temporary solution though. As said I'm using a patch panel. This is one of those cases where it comes in handy. I've now connected the... -

Please help me understand my LAN / router / switch problem
Hi all, Today, I stumbled onto the weirdest problem, and I have no answer for it. This is my home network (only the wired parts, the wireless is not important here) 1 D-Link DIR-655 router (with 4 gigabit LAN ports) 1 HP Procurve 1400 24-port switch (all gigabit) 1 24 port patch panel... -

Should I buy a 'real' AP, or just another router?
Ok, so converting a router it is! Just to be sure: all that would take is me buying a second router, disabling its DHCP server and putting a cable from the LAN to LAN interface (ignoring the WAN on the new router). Then, set the SSID of both routers to the same name. That's it, right? Also... -

Should I buy a 'real' AP, or just another router?
Hi all, I want to expand the coverage of my wireless network. My router is a d-link DIR-655, which has been working fine for a couple of years now. I've recently moved to a new house, and in this building, the second floor only gets very poor WiFi reception. So I'm guessing I've got...
