    Review Suggestion Netgear GS108T-200 (Version 2)

    I asked Netgear UK when it was likely to be avilable and they said "We can't give a date as this will [be]come available when all the 100-EUS models have been sold." So it seems they are waiting until all the old models have sold out, which is rather an odd strategy to adopt after you've...

    Review Suggestion Netgear GS108T-200 (Version 2)

    Does anyone know where to find one of these IN STOCK online in the US? I have a friend travelling there in 2 weeks time and would like to have them bring me back one. Second question.... can anyone (beisser?) confirm that the power-brick for the US-model is dual-voltage?

    Strongest Wireless N Signal Router

    Don't know about QoS functionality, but for high transmit power, have you looked at some of the Ubiquiti range, e.g. the Bullet M series? http://ubnt.com/bulletm PS - I haven't used them, they just seem pretty cool to me....

    Review Suggestion Netgear GS108T-200 (Version 2)

    @beisser - seeing as you have one perhaps you could write us a mini-review then :-) :-) What kind of network (how many machines, what kind of use it's getting) are you using it with? Which of it's functions/features are you using, for what purpose, and how do you have it set up? I'm just...

    Review Suggestion Netgear GS108T-200 (Version 2)

    Wow... that looks very nice indeed. I prefer the new case design too. Personally I'd prefer to have the cables at the back and LEDs on the front, though I realise the way it is is preferred in rack situations. Seems if you want it the other way around you are stuck with consumer-level unmanaged...

    Help on choosing a router

    I don't think so yet... I'd also like to see it... there's a thread here: http://www.linksysinfo.org/forums/showthread.php?t=62935

    pfSense Modem/Router/Firewall/Server PC

    It would not fulfil all of your requirements, but given your low-power request, was just wondering whether you'd considered something like this... http://www.fit-pc.com/web/fit-pc2/fit-pc2i-specifications/

    Time to upgrade network

    Sorry, not from me, I'm still uncertain what to buy too.... :-) If you need gigabit for wired devices on your local network, you can just buy a Gigabit switch and plug any router (100M or 1000M) into that... which may open up more choices to you.

    How does the newer Linksys WRT610N v2 (also known as E3000) compare to the WNDR3700?

    Slightly off-topic, but.... what kind of throughput were you getting for the MacBook Pro / 5GHz / 40MHz setup? Also, did you ever try to connect from the MacBook Pro to either router at 2.4Ghz / 40Mhz? Reason I'm asking is this thread... Thanks...

    Can my MacBook use 40MHz bandwidth?

    OK, fair enough, I was talking about something else though. You were referring to this situation: 1. Any card > Apple Router: 2.4Ghz/40Mhz impossible, 5Ghz/40Mhz possible (assuming Apple router is one that does 5Ghz) I was talking about this situation: 2. Apple card > Non-Apple Router...

    Can my MacBook use 40MHz bandwidth?

    So to sum up, if you're using an Apple airport card... Apple will prevent using 40Mhz bandwidth on 2.4Ghz, you need a router running at 5Ghz to take advantage of 40Mhz. That's useful, thanks all....

    Can my MacBook use 40MHz bandwidth?

    What router is that N network you're showing - and is it in 5Ghz / 40mhz mode? I don't yet have an N wireless router yet, I'm asking the questions to see how much it's worth me upgrading, and what device I should get... If Apple isn't supporting 40Mhz channels in their laptop cards, there's not...

    Can my MacBook use 40MHz bandwidth?

    Sorry to raise this thread from the dead.... I have an Early 2009 MacBook Pro with the following wireless card: Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x8D) Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.91.27) From above in this thread, it's indicated that Apple "locks out using 40 MHz...

    Upgrading to N and gigabit, this is my setup. What would you get?

    Thanks for the replies Tim... The router runs as an OpenVPN server giving me superb remote-access to my LAN which I am very happy with, plus great QoS, and generally just a great easy-to-use but full-featured interface... I use Tomato not DD-WRT, but that's beside the point. I realise it...

    This company seems to make some quite good looking high-power/long-range wifi gear. I'd be interested to see a review of this: http://ubnt.com/powerapn also this: http://ubnt.com/bullet EDIT: Sorry, on further reading it seems the PowerAP N isn't actually out until summer, sorry....

    Upgrading to N and gigabit, this is my setup. What would you get?

    I'm in a similar situation.... I'm currently using an Asus WL-500GPv2 with Tomato firmware. Everything works perfectly, the problem is I need to add fast N-Wireless as I've started to do backups over Wifi (Apple Time Machine) from two MacBook Pros to a QNAP TS-239 Pro II NAS. All wired...
