Any GOOD things about the WRT300N?????

I understand that these forums are good sources of information for solving problems. However, ALL I can find are problems with the WRT300N.
I just bought one and I plan on installing tomorrow to support a new wireless 11g printer I bought and to give me more headroom for gaming.
All the posts cite connections dropping, poor performance, and lack of range. Is anyone "pleased" with this router???
Should I just put it back without even trying to install and get my money back????
Thanks.

Jag,
I've only owned the 300N for a few days, but it's been stable and an easy connection with a Windows Vista machine. I struggled with an older NetFear router with a new Vista machine and gave up after 4 days of stress and frustration and bought the 300N with the USB300 series adapter on a whim while shopping.
I've been getting 4-5 bars and according to Vista's connection information, averaging 210-250 mbps. The wireless PC is located upstairs on the second floor and the wireless router is on the first floor in my audio room. Just take note, there are not any "G" devices on the network.
I had 2 issues with the router which I will explain.
I contacted Linksys's level 1 tech support to deal with these 2 issues The security light light on the router was not lit and I asked why considering I had all security features enabled. MAC filtering, blocking SSID and encryption. The tech told me that if you use the Easy Link software the security light will not light. To activate the security light, you need to use the Linksys Wireless Network Monitor software to activate the security light. Unfortunately, Vista does not support this software, so if using Vista, according to the tech, it will never light until they have a fix, if they create one at all.
The other issue I had was not broadcasting the SSID. When I disengaged the broadcast function, I could not connect to the network. I tried various methods and I initially looked for the Wireless network monitor software, but it was/is not available with the Vista firmware. To connect to the router with the broadcast of the SSID off, she had me delete the current profile, create another manually adding the network SSID, encryption type, etc., and now I can connect to the network with not broadcasting the SSID.
Perhaps my situation is an anomaly, but I have not dropped a connection yet, speed has been 5 X my NetFear "G" connection speed and I receive 4-5 bars for signal strength. I did notice that when I changed the Network Mode to "N" band only and changed a few other settings following the manual, the signal dropped to 3 bars. I just switched back to the "Mixed" mode and default settings and the signal went back to normal.
I'm not a complete neophyte with wireless, but generally once it's secure (if there i such a thing) and connected, I never touch it again except to change the network name, router password, etc every few months. That is my experience.
Much luck, Charles

Is There ANY Good News About The Update To iOS5 ?

So I haven't updated my iPhone 4 to iOS5 yet. Before I do, I went to read about how it is working for others, and JESUS !!! What a nightmare it looks like.
So now I am completely nervous to do it and may want to wait. So I ask if I should and if indeed these nightmares are valid and universal to everyone ? Or is anyone out there actually experiencing no problems with the update ? So therefore is it "hit and miss" with these issues I am reading about ?
Please help with some advice, as I would love to be "up to date", but hate quirky bugs and glitches, etc...
Currently on a 16GB iPhone 4 (not a S) with iOS 4.3.5
Thanks in advance for your advice -

Most have no issues.
I have never had an issue nor has anyone I personally know.
Every single update, without exception, is met with some complaints. Just as a hospital is full of sick people, this support forum is full of people who need support.
The majority of users have no isse and therefore do not post on the internet or in support forums.

Are there ANY compatibility issues with Itunes 12.0.1 and Mavericks? Don't want to download Yosemite. Not hearing good things about it. I'm on Mavericks 10.9.5.

one obstacle, quickly removed. thank you.
nomenclature aside for a moment, 10.6.8 is correct but maybe more is necessary about the MacBook Pro: it is 'old': Identifier: 1.2, Intel Core Duo, 2.16 GHz, 1 Processor, L2 2 MB, RAM 2 GB.
i hope that is enough to get an answer to this: is it unadvisable to update its OS; in other words, if i update to 10.9, will the machine be able to handle it, 'speedwise'?

I am hearing some not-so-good things about Verizon.

I am hearing some not-so-good things about Verizon. Why aren't I hearing about the new pricing from you? If I have to pay more than I am now, I will switch providers in December when my contract is up. I have put my phone as a priority and food on the back burner!!!!!!!!! Let's hear it from the horse's mouth!!!!

I want information...from Verizon...do you work for them? I also want to hear from other people about their opinions/questions on the subject...I watch Robyn Meade in the morning and on that news program, they were talking about AT&T and Verizon increasing their charges for data...T-Mobil and Sprint won't be doing that. They were just warning us...their info is pretty reliable. I just want to hear it from the horse's mouth and know the truth about what is coming up. I have found that I have to check on things and double check, so I don't get "half" the info I need to make a good decision. I am not wealthy, and need to protect my priorities. I have been satisfied with Verizon service so far...just don't want any surprises. My contract is due to expire in Dec. so I need to make a decision about what service to use. I tried using the "chat" this morning and didn't get an answer, just a "link", so I am using all the avenues I can think of to
get the info I need.

Do you have any more information about the Lightroom Mobile for tablet? [was:Information]

Hey just doing a check. In. Do you have any more information about the Lightroom app for tablet? Like when it is coming out, what features will it have? Because I can't Waite. Especially for editing a raw file on a tablet. Excited.
I do have a Few questions. 1. Will the app have a library mode that allows the photographer to display the raw files on the app like how photo shop touch does. Example. When your import a photo from the iPad it shows up in the photo app that Apple makes. But when you take that photo into photo shop and save it as a psdx file, the project or photo does not show up in the original photo app by apple.
2. Will the app use the smart previews when you import a raw file on to the iPad the same as you do with a computer?
3. Do you have to Waite to go home to edit a raw file or can you edit on the tablet once you import the photo from camera to iPad? Instead of going home import to computer into Lightroom 5, then to adobe cloud, then to iPad.
4. Will the app display catalog, book, etc modes like Lightroom 5 has?

At this stage, we don't know any more about Lightroom Mobile than Adobe revealed in Sep 2013
http://laurashoe.com/2013/09/09/on-the-adobe-horizon-lightroom-mobile/
Adobe will reveal more when they're good and ready.

The very best thing about the retina display

Do you know what is the best thing about the retina display? the answer is they've solved the issue of the dead and stuck pixels thing you know how because the pixels are very very small so u can't see if it's working or not some day you will walking around holding your new ipad and you don't even know the plenty pixels that are dead and you can't notice them HAHAHA that was a good one LOVE YA APPLE.

I doubt that's the reason Apple spent the money on retina displays, but a good observation.

The system doesn’t recognize or capitalize the word (I) or the first word of every sentence. Another really annoying thing about the integrated mail on your Mac computers is the fact that the system learns the word as you type it more and more instead of highlighting it as incorrectly is this is a word that’s being misspelled. Can Apple fix this bug to make it user friendly as if you were using Office or a Word Document?

You hit the target CT.
It’s only fair that if Apple is going to integrate Mail into Mac PCs, it would be nice if the system does it for you like Office or perhaps Outlook. I just don’t to use Outlook although I have it installed and ready to use, but instead use Mail which comes with Mac OS already.
I hope to make some sense here.

Whats the strangest thing about the Java platform?

Hello All,
In an interview (http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Interviews/bloch_effective_08_qa.html) that I did with Joshua Bloch on java.sun.com, promoting the revised version of “Effective Java”, he discusses generics, enums, annotations, the under-use of Java libraries, the importance of minimizing the accessibility of classes and members and minimizing mutability, and other matters.
To my question: “What’s the strangest thing about the Java platform?” his answer was: “I'm going to say that the strangest thing about the Java platform is that the byte type is signed. I've never heard an explanation for this. It's quite counterintuitive and causes all sorts of errors.”

Can any one explain about the SAP Testing process in Implementation Project

Can any one explain about the SAP Testing process to be carried out by BW Consultant in an Implementation Project which is in Testing Phase..

hi bharat,
Two types of testing is possible in bw
unit testing
integration testing
Integration testing - It is the phase of software testing in which individual software modules are combined and tested as a group. It follows unit testing and precedes system testing.
Integration testing takes as its input modules that have been checked out by unit testing, groups them in larger aggregates, applies tests defined in an Integration test plan to those aggregates, and delivers as its output the integrated system ready for system testing.
Unit testing - One part or the whole part of transfer rules , update rules, etc..
Integration testing - The whole data flow cycle to be tested

I'm reading way to many bad things about the new Lion... is it worth it??

I'm reading way to many bad things about the new Lion... is it worth the upgrade and hassle or will this push me back to Google for e-mail, calendars and contacts? I love my Mobile.Me... Why change whats working for an OS thats not working ?

The more you read these forums the more you'd mistakenly think that Lion is generally a problem.
For every person who comes here with a problem there's many thousands who are running Lion hassle-free, including me.
I've used MobileMe since the beginning and have happily moved to iCloud, There's a couple of things you may miss from MobileMe in the short term but those things like iWeb hosting are going away anyway in June.
I suggest you join the millions of Happy Lion Users. Just back up your data in case you absolutely need to do a clean install back to Snow Leopard.

The thread for good things about Premiere CC

I know that people will use these forums to communicate complaints about the new Preimere CC, or to ask questions about things that have changed and become confusing. People who are happy with the new software, however, may not be inclined to start a new thread to say so. So this thread is specifically for communicating things about Premiere CC that are noticablely better than in earlier versions. I, for one, need this information as much as the criticism in making my decision about whether to upgrade or not.
J. D.

There are lots of things to like about PPro CC. However, I do believe it's important to know of the issues that may affect your particular workflow before you update. You can look at their product page and see all the great new features in action in their tutorial videos, but only in this forum will you hear if they have issues or not. Sometimes looking at a forum like this makes you think that the program is totally screwed...but most forums can make you feel that way. My experience is a fairly positive one but with one big setback.
LOTS TO LIKE:
If you have CS6, I think it depends on your workflow and what you use Premiere for which should determine whether it's wise for you to update at this point. You can always download the trial and see what you think. They made many awesome improvements to the editing "finesse" as they like to call it. Things like through-edits, paste attributes, easily expandable (with one scroll) and solo-able audio tracks are nice combined with bigger features like the added "looks", wider GPU support, and audio clip mixer (although, can you undo if you mess up with that mixer?). Honestly there are so many other little things they tweaked and improved that many go almost unnoticed. Long time FCP7 users like myself really enjoyed many of the updates.
THINGS TO BE AWARE OF:
Three things however, after just one week, stand out to me as either confusing, or completely unacceptible based on my personal experience:
1) Multicam is essentially broken. If it's important to you, I recommend you wait until it's fixed. Sure, you can do it, but be aware of the issue with re-doing any of it before you start. As people have said in previous posts, it's great that you can now stop/pause/forward/rewind without it making a cut on a timeline during a multicam edit. I also like that the audio meters now work while editing multicam. But just know there is a new bigger issue with CC Multicam that, if you are not aware of it, can set you back hours and hours:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1236698?tstart=0
2) Be aware that Encore is not included with the new CC update. It's a bit perplexing why they did this but you can just download (or keep installed) Encore CS6 and all will be fine. Moving away from DVD/Bluray disc creation over time is fine, but cutting the ties now is makes about as much sense to me as if they only allowed Premiere editors to edit 4k footage and nothing else. Oh well, at least you can use CS6.
3) One other post (#20) here mentioned "appearance" issues with PPro CC. I agree with his assessment but I'll take it one step futher. I think the dark background looks so cool on these programs...BUT... editing 10 hours a day 6 days a week with white letters on a dark background can start to kill my eyes so in CS6 I switched "appearances" and made it a light background. Not as cool, but it worked better for me. Problem solved! The problem with Premiere Pro CC is that, unlike in CS6, making the background lighter ONLY adjusts the background BUT the rest of the clips and markings don't adjust to make it usable. What do I mean? Try this...on CS6 go to Preferences>Appearance and make the background light. Now in your source/program monitor, mark and in and out point. Notice how the selected area is now light blue and visable against the light background. Now try that same thing in Premiere Pro CC, and you'll realize that the same selected area did not adjust to the changing of the appearance and it remains light colored and disappears into the background now. Bizzare. Small issue I guess in the grand scheme of things, but still, an important design element that became worse, not better, coming from CS6.
I'm a fan of Creative Cloud. I realize all new software will have it's bugs. But I do get nervous at the thought of this program updating often and bugs as big as the multicam bug being overlooked prior to a public release. Personally, I'd rather they wait and fix it first when it's that big.

Any Good Ideas on the Best iPhone 4S...

I have looked at so many covers, cases for the iPhone. Does anybody know of an excellent case that protects the iPhone 4S without blocking any of the ports or display? I recently saw this holster that looked cool but seemd not quite what I am looking for. I have a strong tendancy to be hard on items like the iPhone even know I try not to. I have tried the Otterbox, which did not really protect much. somebody had told me about one that I looked at at Best BUy, but I saw their website too and it loked pretty good but right now I forget the name. I would like to be about to hook it up to the Mophie Juice Pack without having to take it out of the case. any suggestions?

For the majority of the time, I go caseless. I don't like them because debris becomes trapped and requires cleaning every few days, not to mention random scratches. I would, however, invest in a screen protector. Just a basic one. Or, ZAGG Invisi-shield.
I stress this however if you follow my advice: be careful. It isn't hard.
Do you have the Mophie case already? If not, I discourage buying it. Battery life should be long enough with moderate usage. If you already do, you may want to look into a pouch for the HTC Evo, since I think it will be about that size with the case on.
