    More MoCA woes. Heh.

    I'm having some similar problems to what you've had and curious about how you obtained and loaded new firmware for the ECB6200, and then how you manipulated the band and channel it is using. I was unable to find any documentation or downloads at all for this device. Thanks. Basically, the...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    A bit more investigation. I went to the cable box to see what is coming into the house. The main line comes into two Antronix 4 way splitters - CMC2004H. These are 5-1002Mhz. I am wondering if I replaced them with a couple of these 5-2400Mhz splitters if that would help the situation...

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    OK, after a little more investigation, I can get the 6200s to work on two jacks downstairs, but not from 1st to 2nd floor the way the 2200s were working. I can get upstairs to connect with a 6200 downstairs and 2200 upstairs. Any ideas how I can get this to work?

    MoCA 2.0 Actiontech ECB6000

    I just tried replacing two ECB2200s with ECB6200s on my home network and the new ones are connecting. I get the power light but Coax never lights. Any ideas on why this might be happening and what I could do to troubleshoot? They are both plugged into coax wall jacks in my house, just like...

    Anybody using a cloud service to backup their QNAP NAS?

    If you only have 250G of stuff to backup, I think I'd sync it to the computer you have online and then back that up to something free like Google Drive. You could get it to the cloud for free if you did that.

    Having a problem with Airport Express bandwidth

    I just switched the Express from "802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)" to "802.11n (802.11a compatible)" and now I'm getting 30mbps down, 10mbps up, just like the base (Airport Extreme). I'm guessing there is some old wifi device somewhere here in my house that is slowing down the network. This...

    Having a problem with Airport Express bandwidth

    I'm not opposed to using non-Apple gear... just easy to configure it all through the Airport Utility. The thing is that this was working fine at one point. I have to of the Airport Express and just swapped it out and still has the low bandwidth. I think I'm going to take it down and connect...

    Having a problem with Airport Express bandwidth

    By the way, on the Airport Express, there is only one ethernet port, and it is labeled <-->.

    Having a problem with Airport Express bandwidth

    Although that tech note doesn't match the menus on the Airport Extreme, I am definitely in bridge mode on the express and its able to get to the internet, so assuming the upside is sharing the internet connection.

    Having a problem with Airport Express bandwidth

    I have a home network that includes a cable modem coming into an Apple Airport Extreme. I also have a gigabit switch connecting the Airport Extreme to local devices and a MOCA network to get to some hard to access places, including the upstairs of my house. Upstairs, I have an Airport Express...

    Which set-up is better for me?

    I kind of agree with tipstir... I used to have a big tower computer with a bunch of drives in it running a free NAS OS. It was big, loud, and consumed a lot of power. It also lacked many of the features of the modern NAS boxes. I migrated to a bunch of small 1 drive NAS boxes and liked the...

    Hard Drive backup for DS413 suggestion

    For 6-8TB, you can't just throw a single drive backup up... no drives that big. I tried doing something similar with my QNAP 6 bay unit by having several external drives setup to backup different shares. I first tried by configuring them as NTFS so that if the QNAP died, I could easily...

    Windows moving to Mac - home network planning

    You absolutely don't need to do everything Apple to do what you want to do. I have done basically the same thing and now have almost all my computers in the house as Macs... in fact I have the following: Macbook Air with Thunderbolt Display Mac Mini iPad iPad Mini iPhone 4 3 x iPhone 4s...

    Apple Airport Extreme Gen 5 Reviewed

    I just decided to go for one of these, and though I love Apple products I'm not opposed to using other stuff. I tried a Netgear WNDR3700 for a while, but had to reboot it too often for problems, and for some reason its not started clipping my upstream bandwidth. I would have never guessed it...

    Diary Of My Switch To Internet TV

    While you've listed some of the options for viewing without cable, you have not considered the fact that you can combine all of these things to create a content rich environment. People with cable watch what is available on cable. For some reason, there is a perception that the only acceptable...

    Diary Of My Switch To Internet TV

    One thing I believe you have to do if you are planning to "cut the cord" is be open to new content. There are always going to be some programs that you will probably give up in this type of move, but the reality is that there is a LOT of other content out there. What if you moved to another...

    First time NAS buyer

    Remember that RAID on the NAS is not a backup solution, but an availability solution. Whatever device you pick, you need to have a way to back it up. Most NAS boxes support USB drives as backup, or you can use another NAS. If you are backing up business data, you probably need offsite backup...

    What's the largest size USB enclosure that I can use to backup a NAS?

    I have a new QNAP TS-659 and one of the things I have been trying to work out is a good "hands off" backup strategy for it. I had originally assumed I'd use the 5 USB ports to attach a few USB drives for now and setup backup jobs to take care of it. Then I discovered QNAP will only let you...

    Quiet 2 bay NAS?

    One thing to keep an eye on is the noise of the drives. I just replaced a four year old Netgear NAS with one from QNAP. The new one is much quieter than my old NAS, however, the drives in the new NAS are much, much louder. The new ones are Hitachi 2TB and the old ones were Seagate Barracuda...

    DS1010+ vs QNAP 459 Pro

    When I tried it with an NTFS formatted drive, it just said it failed... no other information. I was working through the web interface. I didn't spend a lot of time trying to figure it out because I saw other reports of problems on their forum. I will go back and try it again at some point...
