    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

    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...

    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...

    PoE, could somebody explain something to me?

    Hi guys, I've never worked with Power over Ethernet (PoE), but I must say I find the technology intriguing. I might use this for some IP cameras around the house. But there's something I'm wondering. I know that with 100 mbit networks, not all eight wires in the UTP cable are used. So it...

    Some switch advice needed...

    Hi guys, I need some quick 'n dirty switch advice... I want to setup a LAN. The router I'll be using will be the Draytek Vigor 2820n. Great router, with lots of features, but with only one downside... it's switch only comes with ONE gigabit port, the other three ports are 100 Mbit. I'm...

    Ethernet cabling...

    Hi, As some of might have read on that other post I made on the subject, I'm going to put Cat 6 ethernet in a lot of the walls of my new house. Now I'm wondering. Can I just use plain Cat 6 ethernet cable which I buy at the shops, or do I need to use a special kind of cat 6 cabling since...

    Please help me choose the right switch!

    Hi Guys, I’m going to start building a house this year. I will implement a lot of home automation into this house. The home automation software I have chose is very open and IP based. So essentially all home automation commands and data, ranging from light buttons, power outlets...

    Login idle time

    Tim, I've noticed this forum does not allow a logged in user to remain inactive for a long period of time. After ten or fifteen minutes or so, the user automatically gets logged out. This happens often to me because I usually read these forums at work, where something unexpected can...

    Different Google Ads box?

    The current Google ads box to the right of the forums is way too wide. It narrows the forums down to an uncomfortable width. Could this Google ads box be replaced with a Tower model or something? Cheers!

    Windows Home Server, Yay or nay?

    In my case, it's nay! Not the way it functions right now anyway. The culprit in my opinion is the Drive Extender feature, which is a feature especially designed to make the life of the WHS user easier. Too bad it really kills performance once you start using more than one drive (which is...
