    Help Setting Up Wired and Wireless Network

    Change the DHCP lease time to something like a day to see if that helps. The number of physical ports on your router should be no issue unless you have devices plugged into them and have more things to plug in (in which case buying a switch should solve that problem). The number of wireless...

    Wireless in a HUGE house, criticque my proposed solution

    You mention satellite internet. Do they get TV from the same source? If the house is wired for TV viewing, and all the runs go to the basement, perhaps you can find one that isn't being used and disconnect it from the TV network to use for a MoCA bridge. They might even have two pulls of coax if...

    NETGEAR WNHDB3004 3DHD Wireless Home Theater Networking Kit Review

    Though I don't have this kit, I've found that on my network I would get better throughput with the lower channels (the ones around the 40s) vs the higher ones (150s) but only at closer range.

    Replacing a Failed Notebook Wireless Radio

    According to the manual for your laptop (found here) it uses a Mini PCIe wireless card. If you're not really looking for an upgrade in speed, it may be better to just replace the card inside the machine. It's under the memory cover so can be easily swapped out with another one. I was able to...

    Simultaneous dualband (2,4GHz and 5GHz), 40MHz, 400ns in Wireless Charts

    This would be similar to calling an 8 port gigabit switch a switch capable of 8-Gigabits links. You might be able to hook your one computer to all 8 ports and bond them somehow, but people normally do not do this. Similarly, there are two radios in those routers, but you'd only connect to one...
