    D-Link AC2600 (dir-882) used as an access point

    I just got a DIR-878 and can verify it works as an access point. Just ignore the "Internet Disconnected" message.

    D-Link AC2600 (dir-882) used as an access point

    Well, the router firmware allows you to disable DHCP and assign a fixed IP, so I don't understand why he says it "isn't supported". Also, he doesn't seem to know how to spell 'their'.

    Nighthawk X6S - Costco black friday

    Does anyone know how the Nighthawk X6S AC3000 Tri-Band WiFi Router (R7900P), on black Friday sale [$130] at Costco, compares to the Netgear R7800 Nighthawk X4S Smart WiFi Gaming Router ? Would it have equivalent wireless throughput? How about the NIGHTHAWK AC2600 Model: R7450? It's $100 at...

    Looking for advice on upgrading from N router

    I'd appreciate advice about using 2 or 3 ac routers configured as access points, and using my cable provider's gateway as the DHCP router. They would be placed around the house and connect through my Ethernet cabling. Would there be a problem with interference among the multiple radios? Is this...

    Backup to Buffalo LS-XHL NAS

    I have a couple of Buffalo LS-XHL NAS's and would like to use them for backup. Are there any NAS brands (other than Buffalo) that will perform a scheduled backup to them? I believe they run rsync for their own backups, but don't know if a different brand can back up to them. Synology says that...

    The LinkStation Gets its Mojo Back: Buffalo Linkstation Pro XHL Reviewed

    Another power management problem Another problem is the XHL's inability to wake up another XHL. I bought 2 of them so I could use one for automatically backing up the other. Unfortunately, the source drive can't wake up the target drive to run a scheduled backup. So the only options are: a...

    How To Set Up Switch Link Aggregation

    Do both switches have to support link aggregation I have 2 gigabit switches connected to each other. One is a managed switch (Linksys SLM2008) I can configure to aggregate links. But the other is an unmanaged switch (Netgear GS108). Can I get the benefits of link aggregation with this setup?

    How To Back Up NAS to NAS

    Warning about Buffalo Linkstations As a practical matter, when you use a Buffalo Linkstation for automatically backing up another Linkstation you are going to waste electricity. That's because a Linkstation cannot "wake up" it's identical twin (referring to the Pro LS-XHL). You cannot set...

    The LinkStation Gets its Mojo Back: Buffalo Linkstation Pro XHL Reviewed

    DLNA server but devices can't make Linkstation spin down I'm using the DLNA server feature, and it works well with one exception. You can't power the Linkstation up or down with your DLNA device. So you have to either have the disk spinning 24/7 or manually switch the Linkstation on/off. In...

    Linkstation XHL or ReadyNAS Duo?

    Thanks for taking the time to help me on this. BTW, SmallNetBuilder is great and the reviews are amazingly thorough. I've read both Linkstation and ReadyNAS reviews several times now. So to backup a Linkstation to a PC, I'd just install a run-of-the-mill backup application on that machine...

    Linkstation XHL or ReadyNAS Duo?

    Which is the better choice: A. Two identical Buffalo Linkstation XHLs - one of them as a media server, the other for backing up the media server. B. One Netgear ReadyNAS Duo with a single drive used as a media server. Plus, an additional large capacity hard drive in an HTPC for backing up...
