    RT-N56U or R6250 for routing

    I own both of these routers. I would like to find the best setup for routing, wireless n/ac, and network security. I currently don't have any ac clients in the network, so the R6250 would only be used in n, until I have the need for ac. I have an older 54G AP handling a couple of G clients...

    (hopefully) Building a low cost/performance PC-based NAS

    Now that you point that out... The NAS was connected to a WGR614 access point, that was connected to a zyxel powerline PLA4225 adapter, that was connected to the other PC. That may be what slowed it down (assuming it wasn't the IDE hdd). Looking back, I have no idea why I connected them this...

    (hopefully) Building a low cost/performance PC-based NAS

    I installed the NIC last night and transfered about 75GB worth of music files. It ran a constant 8.5MB/s, and took just over a couple hours. That was with the single IDE drive. I'm interested to see how video files play, I may get to that this weekend. Knowing my bottlenecks, I'm going to...

    (hopefully) Building a low cost/performance PC-based NAS

    Wow, thanks. That's exactly what I needed to know. A few questions: Did you perform your test using a PCI SATA controller or through SATA connectors on your motherboard? How much are you selling the Intel NIC for, and what is the model number? This is the controller I believe I'll be using...

    (hopefully) Building a low cost/performance PC-based NAS

    I have an elderly Dell Dimension B110 desktop and would like to turn it into a media storage/backup machine. I've built/customized a few Windows PCs (3.1 to win7), but this is my first step outside the box. I plan to use NAS4Free, unless there is a better software choice. It only has IDE on...
