Sorry to necro this thread, but Trendnet now has a Powerline PoE product as well: http://www.trendnet.com/products/powerline/poe-powerline

I'm not sure of your network topology. I assume your cable model is connected to the AC66U router. I also assume you have one MoCA adapter connected to the router and the coax. And you have a second MoCA adapter connected to coax on the 1st floor, and into a network switch so you can share...

Well I had a mix of ECB6000 (non-bonded) and ECB6200 (bonded) MoCA adapters. Even though my FiOS G1100 router does NOT support bonding. Decided to replace all the 6000 units with 6200, and so far no disconnects. Been a few days and everything seems stable. Hopefully this solves the problem...

Yup, I've done that too. The thing is, the problem is so intermittent. I went on vacation for a week, leaving all MoCA adapters on and connected PCs/devices on. It stayed up for a whole week. When I returned, it went offline within 24 hours. It can stay stable for 2 hours or 48 hours. I've tried...

So I have Verizon FiOS, and my ONT connects to my Verizon Quantum Gateway/router via coax. I have Actiontec MoCA 2.0 adapters throughout the house, as I didn't want to run ethernet cables between the router and my other computers. This setup has worked well for a few years. Then recently, I...

Sorry to resurrect an old thread. But isn't it weird that the TVS-471's RAID 10 speed is slower than its RAID 5 speed? I had thought RAID 10 would be faster since no parity involved?

Tim, I enjoy reading your NAS reviews, but was hoping you could comment on RAID rebuild times. QNAP seems to be moving away from Intel Core processors and instead outfitting their SMB/SOHO/home lines with Atom processors. Since I doubt QNAP uses a dedicated RAID controller, that means all...

Because then my 1st floor Wi-Fi coverage would suffer and I would be in the same boat :D

Hi all! I need some advice on how to extend my Wi-Fi network. My problem is that my router is on the 1st floor, and I get spotty Wi-Fi reception on the 2nd floor of my house. Here is my current (and complicated) setup: 1. Verizon FiOS broadband 2. MoCA connection from the ODN to my...

True, there are many considerations and enterprise drives do have a lot going for them. But here are my thoughts: 1. My TS-509 is on 24/7 but not actively used 24/7, meaning that when I go to bed the drives are usually in sleep mode. It is mostly used for backups, archiving, and serving...

Agreed that Shadowprotect is more solid, but it is also more expensive. There are also nifty tools that come packaged with Acronis, including disk cloning and secure wiping.

Simple, these boards are small, and do not have a lot of slots for add-in boards to upgrade. Manufacturers figure that users would rather use slots for other add-ins (TV tuner card, dedicated graphics card, etc) and thus tried to integrate as many features onto the mainboard as possible.

I myself am running Acronis TrueImage 2010 with their Plus Pack and have had no problems with scheduled backups other than one hitch. Sometimes during a scheduled backup it'll report a disk error on the destination drive (my NAS) - I think this is related to the NAS drives being in sleep mode...

Have you looked at a DROBO? http://www.drobo.com/products/index.php There is an eSATA unit that I think can plug directly into the Dune base, and there is a unit with a Gigabit connection for network storage. They are fault-tolerant to 2 drive failures.

Since you work in a Windows environment, have you thought about a Windows Home Server for your backup needs? Example (but you can build your own if desired): http://www.hp.com/united-states/campaigns/mediasmart-server/ With WHS you can automatically schedule backups of your client...
