This box is running Vista not Win7 so the score only goes up to 5.9 tops.

This stuff ought to be here by Wednesday, so I'll test it out and give a
report in terms of performance.
I certainly don't expect it to be a good as Gb Ethernet, but it cost way
less in a house built in 1988. And my experience with wireless has not

I hate to be a hater...but I seriously don't want to get any more apple

like how they keep it all locked down. And since they got in bed with
ATT and locked me out of an iPhone upgrade, I'm going to become a loyal

All of the wifi bridges I have seen just support one device on the other
end...and I'm not sure it would really solve the problems with wireless
dropping out (I don't know if it is a tivo problem or a wireless
problem, as the tivo will drop while the wireless PC are still
going)...that's half

non-overlapping channel. Same basic concept as dual radio. Point remains
that you can exceed 100mbit on N gear fairly easily.

What's better? pfSENSE or M0n0wall?

1. That's
pfSense was forked from m0n0wall several years ago to provide expanded
features not consistent with m0n0wall's minimalist approach suitable to
smaller, embedded systems. It also uses the (IMO) more robust and less
quirky BSD packet filter (pf) instead of ipfw. They offer a similar
interface and
I see.
Very interesting.
But if I wanted a pfSense box, then that would make my router redundant.
I would have to just use it as an AP right?

Yes. You can use pfSense as an access point I think, but that really isn't
its purpose. It is designed to be a firewall and/or router first and
foremost. If you did implement one, you'd probably want to take any existing
device that you have performing routing/firewall/NAT duties and disable
those
I've used a few a scrapped all of them. Very slooow and intermittently glitchy.
I still have a couple sitting at home somewhere.

will order today. I'm actually lucky to still have them. My house was
broken into last week. We lost jewelry and my laptop and a few other

So sorry to hear of your loss.
This now hardens me to even harder security!

Ah man that's big time fraked up! Probably meth heads on a run for stuff that sells
quick. With any luck the jewelry will lead the police to the pawn shop where they
offload it.
The identity theft thing is major good idea as are rotating any passwords that might
be remembered by the laptop
Well for home use this sounds like overkill especially if it needs more than a little
12W embedded device to run. I do see where a larger setup could benefit from it, but
that's apples to oranges.

OK, did not know that about WEI not that I rely on it as a benchmark.
Just ripped compressed 50% with DVDFAB7, 14min. Of course if were talking handbrake
I found it drags ass for some reason.

I'm still very happy with clearos (was clark). I'm using it on a via epia dual
gigabit board. Stable. Works fine.

Same here, I love it. In fact ClearOS looks a lot more polished than CC and
still runs pretty decent on minimal hardware. For example, I upgraded my little
embedded 4 port box (600MHz celeron) from CC4 to ClearOS. I've got 1GB ram.

ClearOS does look pretty cool, definitely more features and more hand holding
than pfsense but still neat if you need it.
(I use PfSense and it suits me fine, but no kids to censor! :) )

Yeah... it sucks, but what'ya gunna do?! As far as laptops, I have the
old Inspiron 600m in use. HA, thought it was fully retired. It's lost
its power panel and I see the MB below it. Plus, ITS SLOW, needs a
format new install. But it's got me online. I miss my Inspiron 15.
