I connected my external hdd. My computers are able to see the drive. When I go to genie app on my phone and navigate to "my media", then "r7000", it keeps saying "loading my media" and freezes. On my smart DVD player when I am in the dlna option, "r7000" shows up as the server, but when I click...

On netgear nighthawk r7000 and/or motorola sb6141? I want to get both and have missed out on combo deal from newegg on both for $219. I've looked around even chatted with a few places if they have any Labor Day sales and there really aren't on these two items? Thanks

Are the devices connecting to your wifi all same chipset rating? For example...b,g,n, ac? If one device is on older or slower chipset, then your wireless signal will pull the slower speed. Can you give more detail on what devices you're using for wifi?

maybe nets around you are using up the same frequencies. I have not tried but will look into ampedwireless.com to get a free version of inSSIDer to scan around you which channels/frequencies are used so you can use an uncommon one. When you say results are terrible, what are you getting? What...

I only have the comcast provided modem so that I can compare their speed to the modem I will buy. If I get above 25 with their equipment, I am expecting the same if not minimally better with the motorola. I did read to buy the white retail packaging modem as well. I would rather spend more on...

Yes, Pretty much all the devices in the house have n rated wireless chips. I do not expect to have exactly 28.8mbps wirelessly, but close to 25 would be pretty sweet in comparison to 19.6 at the moment. Thanks!

So I just had Comcast installed at my house. I have the 25mpbs plan. When I connected my laptop directly to the ubee modem(provided by Comcast), i obtain speeds of 28.6mpbs. This is great. I am in the process of getting my own modem(Motorola 6141) and leaning toward getting the netgear...

Thank you for all the information. Maybe, Ill hold off for the nighthawk or give in :), hahaha

No biggie on the question. I saw pricing for the routers i was looking and it seems like they can be gotten for under $160, i know for another $20 i would be really set but if i can get the nighthawk for $150, im all over it (miraculous labor day special fingers crossed) :)

Thanks. I do not want to spend more than $160 on a router. I like the linksys parameters. To me it's neck and neck with linksys and asus. It might come down to price for me. I hope I just plug it in and never really have to reboot it.

Thanks. I've heard that a lot of people are satisfied with the asus. Obviously structures in the house contribute if a signal reaches a device or not. What is this new beamform technology or whatever it is called? Anyone else on input?

Hi, Just like the title states. Wondering what opinions people have for my home office. The house is split level and I am switching to Comcast(most likely). I've had basic netgear ($45) routers in the past with no issues. I want AC as I know we will have AC based devices within 6 months...
