    Logitech Harmony Home Hub Reviewed

    After having good luck with the Logitech Harmony series I decided it was time to move into the big leagues with the Harmony Ultimate Home bundle, the Home Hub plus remote plus IOS app. Bought one for myself and one for a client who needed a new universal remote. My problem was that I have a...

    Lantronix xPrintServer Reviewed

    I was also pretty disappointed with the xPrintServer, though I bought the original model. The premise, plug it in and you can print from iThings, and the implementation (find it with bonjour, really plug and play) is stellar. I bought one for our office and it worked so well I started...

    Axis M1011-W Reviewed

    Yeah, but just reading the release notes gives me the feeling that they don't have any quality, or any control. I've reported a few bugs to them over the years, and the hard part is getting them to understand the problem. Once they understand it they'll usually whip up a hacked firmware just...

    Axis M1011-W Reviewed

    Anything too complicated wedges them I've got mine: Writing an image to an FTP server every 10 seconds Writing an image once a second during motion detection Updating "IP Camera Viewer" on a couple of Macs Occasionally opening a web browser on the main camera page Occasionally calling it...

    Axis M1011-W Reviewed

    While the hardware build of the Axis M1011 is indeed quite solid, they have outsourced their firmware to Elbonia, and I've had to write code to reboot the camera by power-cycling it up to six times a day. Their 209MFD and M3114 cameras are better, but these lowend ones aren't any good if you...

    Cisco SG500-28P Gigabit Stackable Managed Switch Reviewed

    A couple of details about the above article: The Cisco documentation is incredibly opaque and contradictory on their Sxn00-nn(P) switches, but AFAICT: 500 series switches support 802.3af (15W) and 802.3at (30W) Power Over Ethernet. [The 300 series switches only support 802.3af (15W) PoE.]...

    Bye Bye 40 MHz Mode in 2.4 GHz

    I certainly hope none of the 3rd-party firmwares will allow "Trash Your Neighbor" mode!

    Bye Bye 40 MHz Mode in 2.4 GHz

    So it's only applicable to 5GHz?

    Bye Bye 40 MHz Mode in 2.4 GHz

    I'll be extremely interested to know what it's actual behavior is in each mode. 8*) Thanks!

    Bye Bye 40 MHz Mode in 2.4 GHz

    Dunno Doesn't seem to distinguish between them. Just sez: Use Wide Channels Wide channels provide higher throughput in your network, but might interfere with nearby networks. It's under: <Pick an Airport> Manual Setup Airport Wireless Wireless Network Options I always disable...

    Bye Bye 40 MHz Mode in 2.4 GHz

    Apple Airport Extreme Base Stations (and Time Capsules) at the latest firmware (V7.6.1) come OOB in "Use Wide Channels" mode. You can't access the setting from "Airport Utility", you must use "Airport Utility 5.6", a separate download.

    The Dirty Little Secret of Today's Networks

    What will you pay? Of course it can, but will you happily double your monthly cost to have a week instead of a day of backup power? And how unhappy will you be when the power's out for 10 days? How often has the power been out for more than an hour? Anything can be done, but it's going...

    Smart Switch How To Series

    DHCP Server? In your article you mentioned that you won't get separate subnets, as your DHCP server will only hand out addresses from a single subnet. If devices are not on the same VLAN as the DHCP server, will they even get an IP address? I've got some Linksys SRW and SLM switches in a...
