    Synology DS415+ and cloud backup

    We want to replace our aging server at work and thinking of getting Dell PowerEdge T110 II server and Synology DS415+ NAS for our storage. Our current server (which is also a storage) is being backed up to Carbonite cloud storage ($60 a year plan). But it looks like Carbonite wants $270 a year...

    New Router: what to buy

    I finally bought ASUS RT-AC87U, installed the latest firmware 3.0.0.4.376.2769. I noticed connecting with WPS (push button) works only with 2.4 Ghz band, 5 Ghz is not supported? Now I want to connect my DAP-1522 bridge to 5 Ghz band. How do I do that?

    New Router: what to buy

    Thanks a lot L&LD My current router (D-link DIR-655 N300) can do 2.4Ghz only. And strangely the best speed I've seen is on channel 4 (tried channels 1, 6, 11 and they're worse) What is the realistic speed that D-link DAP-1522 can achieve on 5Ghz band? It is N300 2.4/5Ghz. On 2.4Ghz the...

    New Router: what to buy

    Thanks, The router will sit on the mid shelf of this desk. I have the same desk: http://www3.telus.net/zipspeed/computer02-small.jpg The space is not very cramped, the height is restricted tough. I don't wanna "test" the routers and firmwares for weeks, just don't have the time for that...

    New Router: what to buy

    Wow, RT-AC68U is more than 12" tall? I think it will not fit between my shelves. There are 4 devices connected to the bridge: TV, BluRay player, WDTV media player and AV receiver. They're used one at a time. Currently 1080p Netflix needs the most bandwidth and that is handled fine most of the...

    New Router: what to buy

    Thanks, Currently it is not possible to connect the equipment with a wire. The router is on third floor and the entertainment center is on second. My bridge can connect to either 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz bands. But my current router does only 2.4Ghz. So I'm thinking if I get a dual band router and...

    New Router: what to buy

    Thanks, DAP-1522 is in bridge mode. And it is used in entertainment center to connect the devices that don't have wifi. Even if I connect these devices with a wire the speed is max 100 Mbps. So if the bridge can deliver 100 Mbps I'll be happy.

    New Router: what to buy

    I'd like to get a newer and better router. Budget is $300-ish. Was considering R-8000, R-7500 or RT-AC87U(R). But it looks like the firmwares of these routers are still in development. So I'd like something solid and stable (even if it's "older" model), dual band N/AC (2.4GHz band is severely...
