I've pushed over 240mbit/s on my D-Link DIR-655 N "router" (which I use as nothing more than an AP) and an Intel 5300 NIC. You don't have to run dual frequency, but that was with a double (40MHz) channel. I know that the dd-wrt project is quite popular, but for router and/or firewall duties, think

The airport extreme is actually very nice, esp for the price. A lot of N routers/APs don't even give you Gig ports. Why bother if the Wifi can do 300Mbit and the wired is only 100. On Sun, May 09, 2010 at 09:41:04PM -0700, maccrawj wrote: > Make sure you read up on it vs. the linksys WRT610's! >

The apple extreme router (imho) is a terrible product. Apple has some winners, but their routers are not amongst them. Configuration is ridiculous, support is bad and performance is not very good. Just a bad combination. Sent via BlackBerry -Original Message- From: maccrawj Date: Su

Well don't have experience with the d-link but real happy with the WRT610N V1 & DD-WRT here. Dunno if the V2's are better or worse but they are also supported. On 5/8/2010 2:29 AM, Naushad, Zulfiqar wrote: I recommend the WNDR 3700. I have one and it rocks!

5.9 sounds like the HDD speed bringing you down. My now aging Q6600 gives me that much, with the rest of the system rating 7.1. It's been awhile since I've transcoded DVD but 27min sounds on the high side unless the GPU is not playing a role. On 5/9/2010 3:18 PM, Stan Zaske wrote: Well, I go

I just looked quickly and did not find a definitive answer as to which conductor carries the signal. Neutral being tied to earth ground at the SE would likely eat the signal IMO. From what I've seen over the past 30 years with X10 "carrier current operated switches" they have the Achilles heel

Well, I got my 1055T yesterday and with the latest Gigabyte BIOS it was recognized just fine and Vista gives me a 5.9 on performance. CoolNQuiet is enabled and AMD Turbo Core may or may not work as I've not placed that big a load on it yet. I'm crunching down a 7.5 gig DVD movie to 700 MB's and

Yeah, but some of the other routers seem to offer much higher performance in this area. Backups aren't the only thing...moving files and share files are other good reasons to have a cheap USB drive on the router. On 5/9/2010 1:37 AM, Naushad Zulfiqar wrote: Aside from small files yes, the us
