Ok, thanks Tim derek

Thanks guys, Tim, So how should one interrupt the results from each with regard to picking a router? Since there is no router from the rev7 list in the rev8 list, and assuming one would pick from the top 3, which method should we use to pick a router, or does it matter and and if not why? Is...

I was looking to buy a new router and staying at approx $100. House is small, so is number of clients, have comcast 100Mbps, and hence looking at the AC1200 routers. I had decided on the ASUS AC56U which tops the rev7 tested routers, when I noticed that none of the rev 7 tested routers are on...

wow, lots good v. good point there. L&LD , you seem to be on my wavelength... yes I have a server, whs2011, (probably will replace with a "NAS" as whs2011 is dead!) that I'd like to be able to access if the router/switch combo goes down. Which would require dedicated switch connected to the...

Thanks for the response, that really helps to eliminate the different class options One other question, I've been reading that its a good idea to separate the routing duties from the wireless duties by having one router with its wifi disabled to act as a router and another for only wifi duties...

So after a lot of reading of the charts/ranking reviews I actually understand now what most of the terminology is. I should have done that first. Can I take this opportunity to rephrase what I'm looking for and ask for suggestions on the type of router rather than a router model itself. Given...

Thanks, yes.. regarding ethernet cables, I'll make several drops per room, 4-8, I suppose depending on the room, (vs 2 drops and utilize multiple small switches) I think maybe what I'll do is make one purchase first, either replace the 655 with a better router and re-purpose it as an AP, or...

also, any suggestion on a switch or brand name for a switch would be appreciated also thanks

I think I might entertain both options, however from reading, it seems the consensus might be to not mix router brands, but I may be wrong on this.

Hi all, I have a dlink dir 655 (about 2 yrs old) that has wired connection issues on occasion when streaming netflix and its wifi range in my house is poor (1-2 rooms). I was thinking of using the opportunity of replacing it with a new router (disabling its wifi) and getting another one routers...

thanks for the detail, good usage info, let me mull it over

Thanks stevech, I had another think about what I’m trying to do and realized that I should have first decided on the setup I needed and then found the appropriate hardware (PC/NAS/WHS) to solve it rather than narrowing it down to certain products first. Along with wanting client backup with...

Hi all, I've done so much reading on NAS's and windows home server 2011, and the more I read the more confused I get. I'd really appreciate some feedback on pros/cons of each systems so that I can make an informed decision. My needs are basic enough, -current storage is 500GB and will...

Thanks, so I suppose when drive fills its just easier to add a new drive, if there's a free bay or buy bigger-bay NAS, (sorry wasn't thinking at all on that one), .. in which case.. -if I filled the drive in a single bay NAS, and bought a multi-bay NAS from the same company, can I can...

Thanks a lot for the response, see my responses and some more Q's below what happens when I fill the NAS -sorry, phrased that Q badly, what I meant was, how easy is it to port the full disk's data onto the new larger drive? other Q's -so is the main reason for people using a NAS over...
