    RT-N66U or two RT-N53 as APs?

    I'm trying to upgrade my home network and wireless. The wi-fi clients are a MacBook Pro with Broadcom 802.111ac adaptor, various iPhones and iPads. I've definitely seen some dropouts in audio/video streaming via wi-fi from my old DIR-655. I also use a Slingbox 500 to stream video to my...

    New Router/AP to pair with 2013 Retina MBP

    I would have agreed with you a short while ago when my old laptop had gigabit ethernet and firewire. However, since wireless will be a main connection to my external hard drives with my new MBP anything that boosts the speed is high on my list of "needs". If you know of some 802.11ac access...

    New Router/AP to pair with 2013 Retina MBP

    the wireless perfect match Since I've been running a DIR-655 for five years I guess that I'm not chasing every upgrade that comes along. That router was a good match for my recently retired Late 2008 Macbook Pro. I'm trying to find the current router that would make a similarly good match...

    New Router/AP to pair with 2013 Retina MBP

    I'm also not in the mood to drop $100 on an ac "experiment". I'm ready to upgrade my DIR-655 to gain the benefits of 5GHz and dual band. I want the router to be quality. even if it's not the most current standard. I'll try the router price vs. value tool to see what looks like a good value...

    New Router/AP to pair with 2013 Retina MBP

    New Airport Extreme 802.11ac disapoints Like the OP I'm also a new MBP owner looking for a fast wireless connection to my NAS. I'm upgrading from a 5+ year old DIR-655 that has started having intermittent problems in the last few months. (Do routers actually wear out?) I bought the new...

    Fast Ethernet vLAN (802.1Q) switches

    ProSafe Plus I spent a couple of hours online and talking to Netgear pre-sales tech support. They couldn't tell me how many VLAN the new switches support. I'm a Mac user but I could run emulation software to configure the switch. My bigger concern is that I have seen reports online of very...

    Fast Ethernet vLAN (802.1Q) switches

    I need to segment my office building into a bunch of vLANs. Right now I need about 20 vLANs for the office this could grow to as many as 35 in the future. These switches will only carry traffic to and from our router/gateway with a 22Mbps connection. There shouldn't be any local device to device...

    VLAN router advice

    No Linksys solution? I've ready all the SNB reviews for Linksys devices that support VLAN but can't find anything but the RSV4000 that doesn't seem fast enough for our connection. Does anyone know a Linksys product that would work for us?

    Router with built in free web content filtering and exclusion policy

    Open source content filtering The open source firewall Untangle may do what you want. The lite version has very rich feature set but you would have to have a surplus Intel box to run it on.

    VLAN router advice

    I'm the owner of a small (30-suite) office building; I provide internet connectivity to my tenants as one of our building's services. I need a good router that will play nice (802.1q) with a smart or managed switch and let me have separate VLANs and separate DHCP pools for each office suite...
