    Netgear WNDR4700 CENTRIA Review

    I finally read the review, impressive. Darn near an all-in-one device (router/nas/DLNA). One thing I can't find is the DLNA specs. What media type (MKV, MP4, MP3, etc.) of media will it serve? Does it transcode on the fly, or straight stream (let the final device figure it out)? I'm really...

    Windows embedded routers?

    One thing I've noticed lately with manufacturers offering routers with USB ports simulating NAS, is that they really have a hard time dealing with NTFS formatted drives. Mainly because they are running Linux with reversed engineered NTFS drivers (Paragon, LinuxNTFS, Tuxera, etc). Let alone...

    Wiping the firmware and settings clean off?

    I've been experimenting around with different firmware (Official, Beta, Custom) for my RT-N56U. One thing I've just recently noticed is that going back and forth between them, several times the configuration is retained. Example: Have the official firmware loaded and configured. Load a custom...
