Ah, got it, thanks for the explanation!

So if I'm understanding you correctly, the ac66 actually has worse range than the E3200? I guess that surprises me given the external vs internal antennas. If true that's good to know

Is the beam-forming only with the AC68U, or would a router like the N66U also have it? The N66U is a bit cheaper than the AC68U, and I don't have any other AC devices at the moment. Not sure if the AC68U is worth it if the N66U has enough range, etc.

Yup, if cabling was an option I would have already run it :) The chromecast is a wireless only device, unfortunately.

Thanks for the quick reply. Did you get a chance to compare the wireless range of the AC66U to the E3200 at all?

Hi All, I'm starting to look for a replacement for my E3000 router, and was hoping for some advice. First, an explanation of why I'm looking to replace it: I haven't really placed a great deal of emphasis on wireless performance in the past (almost all of my clients are wired with the...

dual gigabit Will the Ultra Plus models finally support full link aggregation out of the box?

I agree with HDClown, dual NICs should be sufficient. Just curious: How much data are you going to be using the NAS for? The theoretical maximum for a single gigabit link is 125 MB/sec, and for a single 10GbE link is 1250 MB/sec. Do you really need that level of throughput right now? Do you...

The only unit I am aware of that has that capability is the N7700Pro/N7700+ from Thecus.

I've heard good things about MoCA, but was put off by the price. Last time I checked the Netgear kit cost about $200.

Just wondering if there was any new cards of this type since this thread was started. I know this is an old thread, but always better to reply to existing threads than create new.

Interesting. It was in stock yesterday on Amazon when I was checking prices. However you are correct, it is definitely out of stock everywhere now. Well, looks like I have some more time to make my decision :)

I've asked a similar question in another thread and gotten no response. I'm guessing the DS411+ will also be delayed. Just a guess though.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I'm currently leaning towards the DS411+ because of the D510 that it includes for almost the same price as the Ultra4. One remaining question I have is about how the DS411+ stacks up against the N4200 from Thecus (if this needs to be a question for a new...

This may be a stupid question, but does ext4 improve NAS performance? I know it allows for larger volumes/file sizes, but was unaware of any performance improvements.
