    Do Insight devices support web brower management?

    The Insight range is interesting. I'm looking at the GC728X model: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/GC728X.aspx But their information on the Insight plans is utterly confusing: https://kb.netgear.com/000053256/What-Insight-subscription-plans-are-available...

    SFP module for Netgear GS110TP?

    Hi, I have a GS110TPv2 switch acting as my main switch, with two GS108Tv2 switches in other rooms powered by POE. All computers are connected via Cat5E. Everything works perfectly, it's a great switch. I'd like to experiment with using the SFP capability to connect to one Mac Mini from the...

    "Accelerated" file transfer software over poor WANs, e.g. via UDP

    I regularly have to send image and video files, ranging from 1MB to 200MB half way around the world, and currently we use FTP. Files are sent over a variety of internet connections including internet cafes, 3G and satellite. Sometimes the connections are congested (e.g. overloaded cell towers)...

    E3000 + GS108Tv2: Jumbo frames with mixed devices

    I'm upgrading my network and have a Cisco E3000 router and Netgear GS108Tv2 switch on the way. I plan to flash the E3000 with Tomato firmware. My understanding is the gigabit switch in the E3000 doesn't support jumbo frames, but the GS108Tv2 does. The devices I'll be connecting are - [JF] means...

    TS-239 Pro II - use RAID-0 or JBOD? EXT3 or EXT4?

    So I bit the bullet and ordered a QNAP TS-239 Pro II, which am going to use with 2 x 2TB WD20EADS drives. I've read there's some problems with some Green drives, although QNAP say this particular model is OK, but will try anyway. The drives will be storing mainly movies, music, and Time...

    Hi, I just bought a QNAP TS-239 Pro II NAS, to be used with 2 x 2TB WD20EADS in a JBOD or Raid-0 setup, which hasn't arrived yet, but am already thinking how I need to optimise my home network to get the best out of it. I'm thinking particularly about trying to use Jumbo frames and Link...

    Need a quiet 2-Bay high-performance NAS... QNAP TS-239 Pro II?

    Hi, I've been looking at NASes for seemingly ages, and never seem to get around to getting a new one. I have a Stardom SL-3620 and it's awful - very basic firmware, slow transfers, and what I consider to be an extremely loud fan - so loud that I basically don't use it anymore. I do realise...
