    Why do you use ASUSWRT-Merlin?

    I bought the N66U router just last week but am suing whatever FW that is on the router. To use the Merlin firmware, do I just download and use the router to pick up the Merlin FW and that is it? Rgds

    2.4Ghz and/or 5Ghz?

    2.4Ghz and/or 5Ghz?

    QNAP TS-210 vs ReadyNAS Duo

    Hi 1st time post. I basically narrowed down to these 2 NASes. Mainly to stream video, music, pictures via my NMT eGreat M34 and backup. They are similar in price range and possibly similar in features and functions. I understand the ReadyNAS is hot-swappable. I've looked at the...

    Looking for Router with Parental Control

    I'm actually looking for a router to replace my wpn824 (Netgear). Preferrably with QOS for VOIP but most importantly good parental control. I don't seem to be able to find a router that would restrict (scheduled) or block Instant Messenger programs (i.e. msn). There was a Zyxel HW100...
