    Home office / home enterprise router recommendation

    Greetings, I’m in the market for a new router. I’ve already got two access points, one broadcasting our 2.4GHz 802.11n (300mbit) wireless (D-Link DAP-2553) and one broadcasting our 5.0GHz 802.11n (450mbit) wireless (Apple TimeCapsule) so it doesn’t need to feature any wireless capabilities...

    Cisco RV220W Wireless Network Security Firewall Reviewed

    DHCP / IP-reservations? Is it just me, or does the Cisco RV220W indeed miss the option for DHCP reservation / IP-reservation in the firmware? With the latest 1.0.3.5 firmware I can't seem to figure out anyway to set IP-reservations for the DHCP in the router firmware. I could always just...

    Upgrading to three stream wireless network

    I ended up trying out the new Apple TimeCapsule / AirPort Extreme as I was afraid that the antenna design of the WNDR4000 is much like the one in WNDR3700v1 which was very hard for me to place for proper coverage of our house, and because there have been lots of bad reports about the E4200...

    Upgrading to three stream wireless network

    I'm not aiming at getting better coverage at all. What I want is a three stream capable router / access point that got at least the same coverage and range as my current DAP-2553 provides when running 5GHz@40Hz mode.

    Upgrading to three stream wireless network

    With three notebooks featuring 3x3 stream (450mbps) capable network cards (two of them being MacBook Pro's) I'm going to replace one of my current access points in order to utilise the extra potential. Currently I'm using a Netgear WNDR3700v1 for 2.4GHz N-only access point and a D-Link...

    My QNap TS-459 Pro have just gone through RMA and as an lucky Norwegian with our outstanding government laws I can freely pick an replacement from the store I bought it from as long as it's the same price or cheaper, or I could go more expensive and simply pay for the difference in the pricing...

    Cisco RV220W Wireless Network Security Firewall Reviewed

    Great review! I have ordered one myself but these wont show up in Norway for at least one month or so.. I'm really hoping this might be that one rock solid router that I can live with for a few years, after dropping the WNDR3700 because of it's firmware I was dwelling between the Linksys...

    Cisco Linksys E4200 Maximum Performance Wireless-N Router Reviewed

    I'm holding of until we see something 3x3 from Asus, and hopefully it will get third-party firmware support because I do not trust Asus stock firmware any more than I trust Linksys / Cisco firmware from experience. We've got Asus RT-N16 at work and the Asus firmware wasn't much to write home...

    Cisco Linksys E4200 Maximum Performance Wireless-N Router Reviewed

    I don't like the sound of this, why can't anyone just release a high performance router that actually manage to work for extended periods of time without any hiccups? Has Linksys / Cisco released any firmware updates as of yet or are you still running stock firmware? Stock firmware never seem...

    802.11n Adapter roundup

    Anyone know how the new Intel Centrino WiFi 6205 (referred to as Taylor Peak by Lenovo and Rainbow Peak by Wikipedia) is compared to the Intel Centrino WiFi 6300 "Ultimate-N" (referred to as Puma Peak by both Lenovo and Wikipedia)? Upon purchasing the new Lenovo ThinkPad X220 series you get...

    Cisco Linksys E4200 Maximum Performance Wireless-N Router Reviewed

    So the conclusion is that from a wireless performance perspective there is a slight improvement in regards of 802.11n 2.4GHz average performance compared to the leading wireless performing products like DIR-685 and WNDR3700? And in regards of 802.11n 5.0GHz performance things aren't really...

    Okay, so my configuration goes as follows: ISP --> Netgear SRX5308 --> Port4 / DMZ (DHCP activated) --> HP ProCurve 1810 Switch --> 3x File servers. My problem is none of my file serves gets any Internet connections going? Every computer on Port 1-3 (non-DMZ) gets Internet connection...

    NETGEAR WNDR3700v2 N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router Reviewed

    Is there any improvement on the wireless part with these new @ 2011 devices? When you say WNDR3700v2 have decreased in 5GHz performance I can't do nothing than bang my head against the wall. Currently I've been so lucky that D-Link has borrowed me one D-Link DAP-2553 Access Points which I...

    DIR-655 vs. E3000 vs WNDR3700

    That's some really interesting things your mentioning.. Can't figure why higher throughput comes for the sacrifice of stability, what's the point with higher throughput if it lacks stability? I guess enabling "video network" over 5GHz doesn't really do anything to prevent this from happening...

    DIR-655 vs. E3000 vs WNDR3700

    That's some really interesting reading! Because is there one thing bugging me with the Netgear WNDR3700 at the moment it's the wireless capabilities. I've just got my hands on a rev4 board WNDR3700 / WNDR37AV, I've been around v1.0.4.55, v1.0.4.68, v1.0.4.68_Traffic_Meter_Test and the latest...

    Two routers in one network? How to "bypass" the first one?

    In my local network I'm forced to use this D-Link DVG-5802S which tends to have some slight issues when it comes to handling several simultaneous connections at once and when double routing it seems like hosting game sessions is literary impossible even though I try to run forwarding through...

    How much routing power does the Netgear WNDR3700 posses?

    Do you have any router you could recommend me? Something that can handle 100mbps connection with ease, and be rock solid even when tossing quite a few simultanious connections at it? Doesn't need to be wireless, just have to feature 1x Giganit WAN, atleast 2x Gigabit Lan and sone stable and...

    How much routing power does the Netgear WNDR3700 posses?

    I'm about to get a dedicated fiber optic link connected to my house in the next couple of weeks, providing me with a 85/85mbps connection! The big question is, whether I want to go for the provided D-Link DVG-5802S Gateway, use my NetGear WNDR3700 or the self-built DD-WRT router I'll be...
