    ASUS Announces RT-AC3200 Six Antenna WiFi Router

    I've got Bell Aliant FibreOP and they also use an Actiontec Router. However I've removed it and installed my AC68U. It requires a bit of messing around to get things working with the the television service but it actually improves the speed of the guide and everything. It's worth looking into.

    FARCRY4 performance

    It's playable for me on my gtx660ti at max settings and 1920x1080, however I turned it down to "high" to get a more consistent frame rate.

    PlayStation Now Game-Streaming Service

    I've got a 175Mb connection, yet it still takes half an hour to download 1GB off Sony's servers. Now they're planning to stream games? This should be good.

    Sata power connectors.

    If what you say is correct then the last connector would be essentially unusable due to decreased voltage regardless of the number of hard drives connected. When you're taking about a 12 to 18 inch length of wire, cold resistance is basically negligible at 6.29 milliohms per metre for 22awg.

    Sata power connectors.

    With too many drives connected you could potentially have an issue with the increased current draw. I believe most power supplies use 18ga wire which has a max 'safe' rating of 6 amps. This will give you 72watts max on the 12v and 30watts max on the 5v wire. Further research is required to...

    Computer Store WLAN

    I know I need a switch ( I already have one.) but what I'm trying to ask is this: WIll any off the shelf router work reliably in this situation? I'm thinking that a high number of dhcp and upnp clients will overwhelm a lower end router. However, I might be wrong here.

    Computer Store WLAN

    So lets switch it up for a min, and pretend that he's ditched the wireless completley. (Not really practical due to space and layout constraints.) What would be a good router to use in an application like this? A box with a million and one features never to be used is not a priority. The only...

    Computer Store WLAN

    So, in theory 2 wrt54gl's with dd-wrt/tomato/etc could be used here. With such a small space, do you think the routers will play nice? I mean the workshop area is only about 20' x 20'. Also, how much do you think this will improve speeds? I just had a look at their products and it does look...

    Computer Store WLAN

    This does sound like it could work, however I fear that with them in such close proximity the system won't work as desired. Anyone have any experience with a similar setup? EDIT: What type of AP's would be used in a system like this?

    Computer Store WLAN

    I'm sure that would be an excellent choice, but to be honest 760CAD for an AP is far more then he's willing to spend. I was thinking something decent could be had for like 150ish. :( Am I being unrealistic here? As I said previously,encryption may be looked at in the future, but it's not a...
