Thanks for the input and advice. I'll just stay with a model that has a single LAN port then. I don't want to make things more complicated than they need to be.:D
One more question, what can a 2nd lan port be used for? I'm deciding between the Synology 214 play and the 214+. The play has 1 lan port while the + has 2.
Thanks
Thanks Canna for that suggestion! I just ordered the switch you linked and I will definitely
follow your suggestion to run all pc's / NAS off the switch.
Thanks so much for the replies.
I found this switch:

What do you think? Is auto-negotiation the same as auto-sensing?
Thanks
I'm planning on adding a NAS to my home network. Currently I am running 3 wired pc's off my Asus router: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320215. I was planning to add a 4th wired pc in the not too distant future.
The problem is I only have 4 RJ45 ports on the rear...
I saw this deal yesterday and ordered one. Returned the same drive I picked up at BB for $50 that cost about $50 more out the door for me (tax). BHphoto has been great for me. In stock stuff ships fast and prices are very good.
Taiyo Yuden; Falcon currently my favorites in terms of failure rate and longevity.
Sony and Phillips - pretty good write failure rate; can't comment on longevity (haven't been using them long enough to test this out).
Currently using some HP -DVR that are CMC Mags. So far so good.
I'd...
Sorry if this is the wrong forum to post my little rant against Asus and their rebates
Back in March I purchased an Asus Blu ray burner from Tigerdirect. Within a week of receiving the drive, I submitted my rebate online and received a "tracking number". Two months goes by and I went online...
Thanks all! Will just use the 670 FTW that I have. I fought off the major upgrade bug with your assistance. Just aren't looking forward to switching over to Nvidia from AMD. Have to clear out all remnants of the AMD drivers 1st and then install Nvidia. Or should I just do a clean reinstall...
no luck for me either. Went to local Staples with Ipad in hand showing BB ad. They would only price match if they had the SSD in stock. They didn't so no love for me....
Budget is $400 ish so I'm looking at 770 4gb card. My needs are relatively modest - single monitor, gaming COD Black Ops, resolution 1920. I realize that 4gb is overkill but I'm looking towards the future. $600 ish for a Gpu is way too much for me!
Cool! Thx for all your replies! Now to decide how to explain to the wife why I "need" to upgrade my Gpu! Hmmm.... Maybe I'll unplug the power cable to the card and then when she turns on the PC and sees a black screen.......:)
Thanks for your replies. My main gaming now is Call of Duty Black ops. No problems playing. Just got the upgrade bug. If I pony up for a 770 or 780 (doubt), my hardware will support it ? How much performance increase would a 770 give over a 670?
Thx
Currently running an I7 2600k stock along with an HD 6850 2gb. I've got the upgrade bug now. What's the best Nvidia Gpu upgrade I can go for. I game but don't plan on multiple monitors. I do have an EVGA 670 FTW 2gb sitting around that I'll either sell or keep depending feedback I receive...
I'm currently running a 2600k along with an HD 6950 2 gb card. I have an EVGA 670 FTW 2gb laying around. Wondering if I should sell it and get a newer card or just keep it? If sell it, what's a good upgrade? I game a bit and use a 24" monitor capable of 1080( ? Since I'm in hospital now and...
I'm currently running a Netgear 3700 v2 as my wireless router. It's been running fine for about 3 months. However, I've been hearing some reports of these things starting to act up after about a year. I was planning on getting another as a backup since our household will "die (think teenage...
damn u falling ssd prices! These deals are quickly becoming addictive to me like a "new" coffee blend or the latest and greatest fishing lure! In for one. Thanks for the link!!
Be glad UPS ground isn't delivering to you. They dropped the ball on me. Supposed to be delivered 6/6/12. End of today, still no drive. UPS site says "out for delivery". Called again today and they said must be lost! Rebate ended yesterday. Had to file claim with Newegg to get refund. Went...
bit on one of these after UPS lost my freakin Plextor 240gb G3! By the time replacement comes to me after filing claim, the rebate expires (actually expired yesterday).
ADDENDUM: ordered this in the nick of time. Price now up to $233!!
been refreshing like a woodpecker myself. No luck so I bit the bullet and ordered from Ewiz. Ended up paying about $20 ish more bucks after using $10 off code. Tired of waiting for the Egg to get them back in stock. Ordered from Ewiz today and just got my tracking number from Ewiz - it's...
I received my TOP from Amazon last week and after reading all these reports of issues, it's going back unopened. Too bad, I really wanted the Asus due to the quiet cooling solution, but I don't want to have to deal with Asus for warranty repairs.
