    One R7000 nighthawk- weak signal- add another R7000 or 2 new ubiquiti ap vs ?

    I have a R7000 nighthawk router-used in AP mode. I have a seperate router from my fiber provider (CSPIRE- 1GBPS fiber service) so I don't need the router service of the R7000. Most of my house is wired with cat5e gigabyte network, but of course we still have some wireless devices (ipads...

    Getting Fiber 1 Gbps- network recommendations?

    Ok thanks for all the advice. Just to update you- the service install went GREAT-the guys were very helpful (3 guys worked for ~4 hours setting it all up). They were already gonna run cat6 to 2 outlets, so I paid $90x2=180 to have them add 2 extra outlets. So no more wireless worries! Now my...

    Getting Fiber 1 Gbps- network recommendations?

    So up until this point my home network has always been significantly faster than my internet connection. I'm in a new house now and am getting fiber installed on friday (C-spire), bumping my 50 Mbps cable internet speeds to 1000 Mbps. I'm not too excited to run ethernet cable throughout the...

    switches- does it matter for home?

The zyxel 16 port GS1100-16 is on sale for $50. There is a netgear gs116na for about $100 after rebate, and a cisco sg100-16...

    WNDR3700 vs. linksys wrt610/e3000- varied review results?

    I do trust smallnetbuilder's reviews more- you guys go very in depth in your review and really try to be as scientific as possible- but I also like toms hardware reviews in general so I was just suprised at the discrepancy

    WNDR3700 vs. linksys wrt610/e3000- varied review results?

    so what is that review site? I'm just suprised that toms hardware gave the wndr3700 such a poor review when compared to the wrt610 (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/802.11n-wireless-router-access-point,2605.html)

    WNDR3700 vs. linksys wrt610/e3000- varied review results?

    so on tomshardware they 'declare' the wrt610 the winner in their most recent router review (april 2010)- it appears to really beat most other routers pretty handily (including the wndr3700) in 2.4/5ghz and at different ranges. Before this review I was really preparing to get the 3700 since in...
