Hi, I've been a long standing fan of this site and have found the reviews, advice and discussions on it valuable info. In fact, I dont think there's a piece of kit I have bought in the last 2/3 years, which I havent checked out on here first before parting with my hard won cash... Till now...

Hi all, I've got a small problem and need to pick your collective brains for a solution. I am trying to setup an SSL VPN connection to my SOHO network from out on the road (hotels mainly). But have run into an issue. My ISP. I bought a Netgear SRXN3205 which seemed to offer all the...

Hi phizzman, I've just done what your trying to do and you'll be OK with what you propose. Once you have copied your valuable data across to the NAS from your "old" drive you can install it into the NAS and setup a RAID 1 (mirrored) configuration and "Yes" the old drive will be reconfigured but...

Hi! so it is true console access then, aimed at the 'modders'. I did have one further thought, it could of been part of integrating the surveillance package into the product. The Synology VS60 has a vga port for plugging a screen in to watch the output from ip cameras [only found that out...

Console access ? So we are wondering into the world of "servers" then.:rolleyes: On a piece of equipment meant for the SOHO/Home I cant understand what the point of this is? It surely adds to the production costs. [I am making an assumption here though, that console access means a black...

So what's the point of the VGA port? Is it so you can plug your Telly into it and use it as a media centre? In which case HDMI would be the way to go. Is it transgressing into the world of "servers" then ? [Why]. I don't understand what it's for..:confused: Can anyone enlighten me?

Many thanks for the feedback Mr. thiggins, I guess I should of re-read the review as I forgot you tested USB throughput.;) I'm a little gutted that 10/11MB/s is max speed.:confused: Anyway, I do have one small bit of new info. "...Write speed was 11.4 MB/s and read measured 9.8 MB/s—not...

Gents, Has anyone tested the throughput (performance) of a connected Hard Disk (via USB 2) to this router? I know that's quite a subjective question, but I'm trying to get a feel on my setup. I've got a Maxtor (Seagate) drive attached and don't seem to be able to get more than 10MB/s throughput...

Thanks for your feedback thiggins, is there no way of routing such a request through the device's LAN port(s) [and therefore off to the live gateway] rather than pointing it at the WAN port ? Sill question coming up: what do you think would happen if I linked the WAN port to one of the LAN...

Hi ! Can anyone help me with a small issue I have with my WNDR3700, I use it as an AP, but it constantly shows the wrong date & time (Jan 2000!!). I've looked through the setup menus and cannot find any manual settings to set the date & time and the user manual only states that the device...

+1 ! It's the ability to import real world representations of the equipment [as supplied by all major vendors] which makes your diagram(s) mean more with less error in interpretation. That's why Visio is considered the best IMO.

Tamarin, Mr. Thiggins, this is a very good point. I'd like to share an experience I had this month. I configured my 2 GS108T switches (which are connected via and uplink) to segregate my SO and Home (entertainment/internet) traffic using the 802.1Q functionality within the switches. As soon as...

thanks for your reply - I've had a little time now to test the issue against a number of other machines. Lucky enough it looks like I found a fair comparison from which to do some testing. To explain, my laptop (running windows Vista [32bit]) has a Marvell Yukon PCIe NIC [88E8055] and my wife's...

Hi, Can anyone please help me to solve a puzzle I have discovered, when testing my 209+ ? I have a 209+ with a single 1.5TB Seagate drive connected to a Netgear GS108T (with JF enabled), which in turn is connected to a laptop with a PCIe gigabit NIC. During upload testing to the...
