    NETGEAR Announces DIY Orbi Extender

    It is more to do with things that I have noticed with triple band products in general, 1 radio will be restricted to the lower channels while the other radio will be limited to the upper channels. Why not allow both radios to have access to the same channels?

    NETGEAR Announces DIY Orbi Extender

    I wonder, why can't they just allow both of the 5GHz radios have full access to all available channels in the range. Any chance Netgeat will allow that so that people can choose which channels they want to use?

    LOL - crazy wifi

    I just don't get why if left on auto, routers from Netgear, tp-link, and linksys can't figure out how to get 40MHz mode working, while verizon's poorly made firmware was able to get that aspect right.

    WD Announces New MyCloud NASes

    I am still using an old Toshiba canvio home personal cloud 2TB NAS as a backup NAS for media streaming when my main NAS is busy with other tasks. Mainly got it since a while back the 2TB NAS contains a HDS5C3020BLE630, and was selling for a little less than the bare drive :). It got a ton of...

    LOL - crazy wifi

    In my area, we have a modest number of APs, though if left on auto, the router will periodically switch channels, though they do seem to largely stick with 1,6, and 11 (Left the WiFi analytics tool running for around 5 minutes. I enabled the WiFi on my verizon fios G1100 router to see what it...

    Linksys Re-launches WRT32X Gaming router

    I wonder why the netgear GUI is so slow to load some pages, as when viewing the CPU usage, it is still very low while loading a page. Is there just some kind of scripted delay, or is there some other reason behind it? Anyway, with the WRT1900acs, I find the UI to be horrible, it is confusing...

    R7800 – problem with Verizon FIOS upload speeds

    I currently use the R7800 as my primary router connected to the verizon fios ONT via Ethernet. The verizon router is then connected to the R7800 in a LAN to LAN config, and its DHCP server is turned off, and its LAN IP was changed to a different IP (192.168.1.10) so I could still access its web...

    Linksys Re-launches WRT32X Gaming router

    The problem with the gaming market is that you are dealing with a wide range of customers, including console gamers,where if you can get someone to pay for a service like xbox live or the PlayStation stuff, then you can get then to overpay for a "gaming" headset where they spend $150 for...

    Linksys Re-launches WRT32X Gaming router

    Are you trying to say that an overpriced router won't open a wormhole leading to the server you want to connect to, and place your packets directly on the same network that the server is on?

    Thecus N2350 Home/SOHO NAS Reviewed

    I wonder, how will the performance compare to the Thecus N4350 that goes for $200? it is a pretty decent price, though the pricing is really close to the 4 bay Thecus N4350.

    Broadcom Takes The 4x4 Road For 802.11ax

    I wish they would stop overcharging for the 10GbE cards. An Ethernet adapter is not like a CPU where they need to recover the R&D within a year as well as turn a profit there is no need to charge $100, when they could probably sell the adapter for $15- $20 and make a smaller profit that will add...

    Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.34SF

    I will try a USB 3 enclosure and see if the performance improves. I was using an old USB 2 based enclosure that offered eSATA (sata3) interface. I have a USB 3 enclosure also, but it is one of the vertical mounting one, and thus takes more physical space. Stock firmware: Read 70-80MB/s...

    Custom firmware build for R7800 v. 1.0.2.34SF

    With this firmware, is anyone experiencing slow write speeds over eSATA based storage (NTFS formatted drive)? (Read speeds in the 90MB/s+ range, but writes are in the 20-30MB/s range).

    Latest TP-Link Firmware Update Adds AV, New Alexa and IFTTT Skills

    I don't get it either, there doesn't seem to be too many differences between the versions. They should be able to better support both versions of the router. I wonder if we will ever see an article delving into the support routers receive. Imagine spending $150+ on a router, only to have it...

    Latest TP-Link Firmware Update Adds AV, New Alexa and IFTTT Skills

    It seems it is only for the C3150 V2 and not the V1, other than that, I wonder why they skipped the AD7200? Beyond that, what is weird is that those features do not rely on anything unique in the V2 of those routers to function.

    Luma Launches Subscription Security Service

    Seems like they are putting some features that many routers offer for free, behind a pay wall. Beyond that, the features are very limited, such as being limited to use only their VPN service.

    Need recommendation on router and two access points

    In that case, wouldn't it be better for the OP to just get a Synology RT-AC2600? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N5MPTG1/?tag=snbforums-20 After that, get 2 AC1200 or better access points

    NETGEAR Nighthawk X6S; Adds MU-MIMO, Alexa Support

    I wonder why we still don't have at least smartphones making use of 160MHz channel width on the 5GHz band? If they aren't going to give then 3-4 stream WiFi radios, they should at least expand the channel width.

    Would You Want A Wi-Fi Certified Home?

    For the cost of getting someone from one of the various overpriced companies to set up an AP for you, you could likely buy enough equipment to but an AP in each room, along with an outdoor unit installed in the bathroom. The overall issue is that most companies have such a high fee for pretty...

    Would You Want A Wi-Fi Certified Home?

    It seems like it will be an overly expensive way of setting up WiFi in a home. Typically when you get a company to come and set up networking equipment for you, they are likely to price gouge for many times the cost of the equipment, all while not taking the same care a home user would in order...
