Because I am using my 2 Zyxel PLA407s to connect my primary wireless router to a second router/AP, the homeplugs never enter power saving mode as the ethernet connection is always active. This is because the secondary router/ap is always powered up. How significant is the power consumption...

I just installed a Linksys EA2700 N600 wireless router with gigabit ethernet ports. I connected one of the ports to a Zyxel 200 Mbps powerline networking adapter. My tests show that I am getting 100Mbps at the other end of the powerline adapater. My expectation was that I would get the full...

Tim, you're quite likely correct on the broken IE. The "flashing" website is one of the strangest things I have ever seen. I'm reluctant to restore because I'm up for a refresh soon anyway. If my vendor wrote his code to work with other browsers, I wouldn't even be considering complaining...

...a little more info. Sometimes IE8 will not open a site without www., while other times it will. Also the vendor site that I require IE for, although it will not open the site, if I hit the browser's back button, I can see the site I am trying to get to flash by me. It is as if IE tries...

No. I thought maybe there was some filtering going on at the router, but that wouldn't explain other users not having a problem, and me not having any problems with other browsers. Now the other users are running IE6 and me IE8, but I backed down to IE6 for testing and still had a problem...

Thanks, Tim. That's one of the first things I checked. I believe I checked all the "usual suspects", but the fact that it works everywhere but on my office LAN, puzzles me. Wish I could find a wireless node on my office LAN to test there, but I'm not sure where in the building they have it...

My work laptop fails to find certain sites in IE8. This is only when connected by the ethernet adapter on the office network. When running wirelessly from anywhere publicly or when connected through the ethernet adapter to my home network, it does not have a problem. Back at the office...

I'm looking for ideas on transmitting video from internet broadcasts to my TV. Currently, I bring a wireless laptop over to the TV and connect with an S-Video cable. The upstairs desktop PC has the benefit of a better processor and operating system as well as the wired networking. What's the...

Updating: close proximity to the antenna gets me about 7Mbps. Still, it's good to correct the throughput problem I was having to the wired PC (up to arount 17 - 18 Mbps now).

I would think the 802.11g wireless router could provide 54Mbps in wireless mode, thereby defaulting to 14Mbps, the incoming capacity?

I got around to switching the positions of my old Linksys and newer Netgear routers, dumbing down the Linksys to just a 4-port switch. I had good news and bad news. With the new arrangement I increased my pipe to the wired PC from 5Mbps to 14Mbps but the wireless devices are only pulling 6+...

Thanks, first I'll bypass it altogether and run everything through the Netgear then based on my results, I will bring it back inline as a "dumb" AP/switch. I will just reverse the roles that the Linksys and Netgear are playing now. The Netgear is a 54G device. Sound like a plan?

I measure 18Mbps coming from my cable modem at the patch cord entering my Linksys router's WAN port. However, any patch cord coming out of the router seems to be clamped down right around 6Mbps. Yes this is a BEFW11S4 old wireless 802.11b router, but I'm only talking of wired connections here...

I am trying to run some cable between my 2nd floor where the router(s) are and a need on the 1st floor. It is convenient for me to use a patch cord from the router over to a point in a 2nd floor wall where I could put in a box and drill below to the location I need it on the 1st floor. I'll...
