    Synology availability?

    Okay, I am a bit dense. I didn't know that the DS1817+ was discontinued. I now how to talk "The Boss" (AKA the wife) into allowing me to buy a different model of Synology. She is intelligent enough to know think that a different model # might mean I am trying to pull a fast one.

    Synology availability?

    I just went to Amazon.com to buy a DS1517+ and there really isn't much available at the moment compared to a few months ago - 3 sellers, all used or extremely overpriced in comparison to the list; I used to see new ones for <$700 and now the cheapest new one is going for almost $1000. Is...

    Back with Netgear R7800 after home burglary and need advice

    House is about 3000 sq feet but is made with concrete. Walls are 12 to 18 inches thick so that is why I have signal problems. I guess it is time to get a "mesh" system.

    Back with Netgear R7800 after home burglary and need advice

    I previously posted about the home burglary so I am not going to revisit that issue; my issues is what I should do with my network. I got a replacement R7800 and am using Netgear firmware on it - V1.0.2.46. It seems to work fine and hasn't had any issues other than range in the new house...

    "Best" custom firmware for a R7000 that will work with NordVPN?

    What firmware would you recommend to put on a R7000 that will work with NordVPN? We need to setup a router to connect directly to them instead of on the individual systems.

    GoFundMe fundraiser suggestions?

    We cancelled it for a short time so we could bring my wife's homeless mom down from Alaska before winter hit. We have a fixed income so we were pretty much forced to cancel insurance and a few other things to pull it off. It came back to bite us.

    GoFundMe fundraiser suggestions?

    I am NOT asking you for $. I am asking for BRAINSTORMING. Notice - there is no link to the GoFundMe. If you want to see it, PM me and I will send you the link. A friend of ours (Playboy's Miss February 1969) has started a GoFundMe for us. We had our house burglarized on Thanksgiving. The...

    Mesh network for 24 apartment complex...

    I came across an issue for a customer that looks like a no-win situation for them. They reported having frequent disconnects or extremely low speed when they are able to connect. Here is what I found: Everyone has their own ISP service in the complex, all are using their own routers and it...

    Qnap Rounds Out 9-Bay NAS Series With Kaby Lake-Based TS-951X

    Just bought the TS-932X-2G model on Amazon. It will be a great device with all the 8TB drives I have shucked from WD Easystore enclosures. :) Well, 5 8TB drives and I am now going to look for the largest 2.5 inch drives to go into the 4 2.5 drive bays.

    Something to use in place of an Amplifi Mesh Point?

    No, it was just a very large property. BTW, I was able to get a Amplifi Mesh Point HD and added it as a network extender on 2 different Orbi systems. It actually was straight forward and easy to do.

    Something to use in place of an Amplifi Mesh Point?

    I was under the impression that you could use one of those to act with another router system such as the Orbi. Glad I couldn't find it then. :)

    Something to use in place of an Amplifi Mesh Point?

    I was all set to get an Amplifi Mesh Point and went onto Amazon.com to get one today when I found it is out of stock and the delivery date is 3 to 6 months. I cannot wait that long. Newegg.com didn't have it in stock either. I do not want to use an Asus product. This needs to work with an...

    Looking for solutions...

    I have just been "volunteered" by my Mom to fly back to the US and help solve a network issue for a mobile veterinary clinic and I really do not have a great solution in mind. I am turning to you all to see if there is any possible way that you can think of doing something other than the...

    Sponsored: A Better Way To Mesh

    The experience was so bad that I will never touch an Asus product again. That laptop was a "let's give them another chance" after bad customer support experiences in the past with Asus - motherboards and video card issues in the past too. When someone I know insists on buying Asus, I tell them...

    I bought a top-of-the-line Asus laptop for over $4k directly from Asus. Within 2 weeks I had it fail on me due to overheating. I sent it in. I was told that it would take a week to get it fixed. A week comes along, didn't get it. I called back. Told it would be another week. Another week...

    Any mesh firmware out there for Netgear Nighthawk routers?

    I saw Asus is allowing people to use AIMesh to make their routers be able to act in a mesh capacity. Is there any custom firmware out for Netgear Nighthawks that can do the same?

    Are there any other routers manufacturers other than Asus that are doing this? I will never buy another Asus product in my life after something they pulled with me over a laptop I sent in for repair.
