    How We Test Wireless Travel Routers

    I find the same. Most hospitality networks are 2.4Ghz and 11g. The request for the additional test data is born purely from experience of using a travel router almost daily for the last few years in hotels, guest houses, AirBNBs, cafes, coworking spaces and even at home. The HooToo HT-TM01...

    How We Test Wireless Travel Routers

    I'm starting this thread since I couldn't find it and wanted to comment on this post: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-howto/32361-how-we-test-wireless-travel-routers I appreciate needing separate criteria for testing travel routers and I think these are a good start. As...

    Router with native EXT4 support for USB attached storage?

    I've found a few threads referencing ext4 and @RMerlin's firmware, which does seem to support ext4. I considered putting that on my AC68. Here though I was hoping for native support from a new router. Looks like the Linksys WRT1900AC supports ext3 but not ext4. Asus has a table here...

    RT-AC87U, Merlin's Firmware, & a 5TB HDD

    How is the 5TB drive formated? NTFS or EXT4?

    Router with native EXT4 support for USB attached storage?

    I'm having trouble finding this info. Most routers report support FAT/NTFS and the Airports HFS+, but do any support EXT out of the box? In the past I've run dd-wrt which obviously supports that, but looking for an AC router now that I wouldn't need to run custom firmware on and which I could...

    Apple's New AirPort Extreme Offers No Innovation

    Usb 2 I used to lament USB 2 on 11ac routers, but I have yet to see a router with enough CPU performance to saturate USB 2. Therefore I don't quite see what the problem with USB 2 is at this point, USB 3 isn't going to be any faster. Further the post seems to just be a long winded setup so...

    Are there any 2.5" NASs around?

    Personally I've just had 3 Momentous XT 750GB drives fail (SMART failure due to excessive bad blocks) over the course of 6 months. So... I wouldn't personally put those in a NAS, but obviously that's just one person (me) and it could be something unique to my setup (2011 MBP) so I wouldn't...

    Are there any 2.5" NASs around?

    Thank you for responding, but longevity of the drives isn't at a all a concern for my use case.

    Are there any 2.5" NASs around?

    I'd like to add some network storage (mostly for time machine), but power consumption is VERY important to me (I live off grid so every watt matters). Could anyone recommend a 2.5" drive based NAS? Googling I came across the Buffalo LinkStation Mini, but it looks like maybe it's old and...
