[H] Hardware Firewall
I was wondering if you guys can recommend a hardware based firewall. I have been using an old gateway PC running ClearOS and it works ok, but I am seeing signs the PC is on its last legs. Since I am out of work, money is a concern, but I like having a firewall between me and the DSL connection. Even if the security might be more fiction than fact lol ThanksGary
Re: [H] AC1900: Netgear R7000 (Nighthawk) vs Asus RT-AC68U
Yep, the both have both features (as I understand). Duncan...I found the app useful because it let me print to my printer from my tablets. Beyond that, I don't know if it is useful or not, but do think it allows remote control of router functions, which should be useful. I will likely go with the Asus just based on pure design features. I don't print from tablets much. On 10/2/2013 2:23 PM, DSinc wrote: Zul, Per the MyOpenRouter website, the new R7000 router can/will run both Tomato and DD-WRT f/w's. Now, how well is up for grabs.

Re: [H] AC1900: Netgear R7000 (Nighthawk) vs Asus RT-AC68U
Yeah, they both have a USB 3.0 ports (afaik), but the netgear has it on the front rather than at the back (there is a usb 2.0 port there). I think that is a funky design error.

Which is the overall best? My mine says the ASUS before for some reason I want to go Nighthawk. I guess I just like some of the features in Netgear Genie.
Re: [H] Dropbox deletes local files?
No. The upload to dropbox would not delete the local files. She must have deleted them thinking they would remain on the dropbox machine. It seems lots of people think that files put into the dropbox sync folder are stored on the cloud so it is ok to delete them from the sync folder on the PC. I get this comment all the time.

This is why I keep a sync folder and a data folder for the files going to Dropbox. Hope this clears things up, Yeah, that makes sense. It is a sync, after all. I was thinking she just did the sync and then they deleted, but she probably wasn't describing the issue clearly. Thanks Tim. T

That does not sound even remotely correct. :/ On 2 Oct 2013 15:29, "Thane Sherrington" wrote: > I have a client who claims that she she uploaded to Dropbox were deleted > from her hard drive once the sync completed. Does that sound right? > > T > > >
