Help - Best router for netflix streaming and gaming

Hello,
My choices are Airport Extreme, Linksys WRT610N, dlink DIR-825
Has anyone tried these?
Thanks for your help.

If online gaming is the most important requirement, you will want to go with routers that support UPnP. All the major game console vendors support sites list compatible routers for their respective versions of online gaming access.
For streaming you will want a router with both Gigabit Ethernet (WAN & LAN-side) and offers 802.11n that operates in the 5 GHz radio band with wide-channels.
Finally, if you want to support both gaming and streaming at the same time, I suggest that you look at routers that can operate in both the 2.4 & 5 GHz bands simultaneously.

Help - Best router for netflix streaming?

Hello,
I tried a Netgear wrn3500 and Linksys 610n before buying an Airport Extreme.
I seem to get choppy video from netflix using the Airport Extreme than I did with the other two.
Can someone recommend the best router for Video and gaming?
I am using cable internet (Time Warner)
Thanks

What is the best router for mugs connectivity

i am looking for best networking institute in India, for optical networking please suggest, have heard about Networkers Zone (http://networkerszone.com/) , however needs suggestion and what is the best router for mugs connectivity.

For training on the Cisco Optical I would rrecommend Fastlane http://www.fastlane.si/ they would be able to fullfill your training requirements either in India or at another location even at the Cisco Factory in Monza, they can tailor courses to your specific requirements and also do switching and routing courses too, I have know one of the instructors for over 10 years they are very good.
As far as recommending the best router, that all depends on the application, not what you mean by mugs connectivity, I know what mugs is in English but not sure if thats what you mean or if it is an acronym for something else in any case if you post in the router section of Net-Pro with your specific requirements I'm sure someone woule be able to help/advise accordingly.

Best router for my network

Hi, I have a PowerMac G4 (dual processor) with no wireless option and a PowerBookG4 with airport card, I've been told to get a router in order to have both computers working with Internet at the same time. I bought an Airport Express, but definitely, I need a router, I know that. I just want if somebody can tell me what is the best router for my computers. I've been reading about them, they are G Routers, N Routers, wireless, wired, etc. Before I buy one, I want to be sure I am buying a right one.
Thanks a lot.

Duane,
You have lost me now.
DSL modem from Interent provider is setup as a bridge.
The ethernet cable can be connected directly to the Express and provides me with network and Internet.
1. Create a wireless Network
2. There is a choice in the Express to "Connect using Ethernet".
3. Connection Sharing set to "Share a Public IP Address"
4. Manually put in the IP, Subnet, and Router address assigned by your ISP.
Works just fine for me. I have been doing this for many years.
I also have set it up like I mentioned above.
Cheap hub. Plug in the DSL modem in bridge mode to the hub. Plug in the Express to the hub.
Setup the Express as outlined above. Same thing with an Extreme or a TC...
Again, works for me..
You say NO DHCP service for Ethernet Clients. OK... Put in a static IP and you shouldn't have any problems.

I have been having trouble connecting to my wifi on my ipad mini but my iPod is just fine......it will connect and then say "Unable to connect to network" I've tried resetting my ipad mini and turning off my router for 30 seconds and its not working.

What TC do you have? Model number direct from the base is a big help, it will be A1 followed by 3 numbers.. eg
A1409 Gen 4.. The new AC is A1470
How is it setup?
I need the whole network setup. what modem/router, how is the TC connected etc??
I also need to know what IP the ipod gets, so I can see what mode the TC or network router is working in.

I've only had my iphone 5s for a week. I keep getting an error message of "Server has stopped responding." I need the server to work. Does anyone know if there is a "fix" for the problem? Other wise, I probably best return for a refund and get a Samsung.

Unlikely. Based on the complete lack of detail of the issue provided it is entirely possible the same issue would occur.
Unless and until the user provides some actual details of the problem, there is nothing the indicate that the issue is with the iPhone.

UEFI (unified extensible firmware interface) boot requires Global unique identifier Partition Table (GPT) as opposed to the older Master Boot Record (MBR). If your existing drive is formatted in MBR, you will need to adjust BIOS settings to enable legacy boot in order for it to work properly.
Is there a performance difference between GPT and MBR? If GPT is better, I do not mind formatting the drive with it.
5. No special drivers are needed.
Thanks. What about the thunderbolt port?
7. I think Lenovo estimates 6 hours.
Lenovo says 6 hours with the 6-cell battery on its website.

Hi,
There was a serious BIOS/UEFI problem with that SSD . Perhaps this thread will save you some headaches. Someone is recomending shutting off Rapid Boot in the setup, which would probable mean little with a SSD, anyway.
I read through this, and it looks like the problem was fixed in a BIOS update, which I plan to do. However, it also seems like Intel Rapid Start is not even worth it in the first place, as sleep consumes almost no power at all.

Whats the best software for photo editing and creating product catalogues that can be saved as PDF's

You are asking two different questiions:
1. What's a good photo editor? Answer to that here is probably obvious.
2. What's a good desktop publishing/page layout program for creating PDF files for production? Answer, not PSE. It's a photo editor, not a page layout program.

When you back up your Iphone/Ipad it backs up for camera roll. but when you take pictures and it uses photo stream, does that mean there are two copy's of your photos on icloud one set for photo stream and one set for backups?

What do you mean by storage quota, does that mean i could be photo streaming about 1gb of photos and it does not get taken away from my free 5bg.

Best driver for dual-screen and 3D with Radeon Xpress 200M [solved]

Sorry for the mild thread necromancy.
At what resolution do you run the external display? According to AMD/ATI, the radeon xpress 200m supports only up to 1600x1200, but I think I've used bigger displays with no problems.

What is the best Router for Gaming?

Alright, at the moment I have a "G" wireless router, which I bought it for pure gaming reasons, well I am thinking about upgrading 'cause I am having some lag and poor connections and I want to enhance my connection for online play. I won't lie I am a addicted hardcore gamer, so I need a good router! ^_^
Well I been looking at this WRT330N , which this one interests me a lot!
http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Product_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1166859632665&...
I know it's about $200 but I am willing to spend the money if it's worth it! If anyone can share anything about this router or a cheaper and better router please do so!

I started shopping for a wired router to handle a claimed higher speed from my cable provider. I want something that runs at full incoming wire speed. I did not think I would care a lot about special gaming features. One of the techs at work uses the GamerLounge which is made by D-Link and he loves it for gaming. It runs a little over $100. It has a number of features to help automate the setup for gaming and to help debug gaming connection problems. I do not know if Linksys makes anything that is specifically targetted at gaming. You might want to read the various hardware reviews and decide which features you think will be important to you. Linksys has product documentation that describes the products but you will have to understand the terms used in the brochures to decide which device might be best for you. I have a Linksys for wireless support and it is rather slow compared to a wired connection because I run encrypted. If you want to run games on wireless, then published benchmark results may be the number one item on your list. Some routers may have much faster wireless performance than others. Cost will probably be a factor but more expensive does not always mean better. I have a WRT54G V5 and Tom's Hardware has a review discussing some of the serious limitations in V5. I stopped using it as a main router and went back to an old 10 Mbps wired router connected to the cable modem to get better performance. The WRT54G V5 sort of works when used as a wireless access point but Windows file and printer sharing do not work. So ... it all depends on which features are most important to you. Absolute best case is to talk with a friend who has a working setup that they like. Then you can decide if their priorities for choosing features match your priorities.

Best Router for The new iPad and iPhone 4s?

I've rescently purchased The new ipad, and since my wifi hasnt been working with my iphone 4s i didnt expect the wifi to last long on the ipad either, so im thinking of purchasing a new router, what would be the best one for these two products? i also own 2 computers

I love the linksys E4200 ! Its awesome and has a very good rating plus it's top of the line ! It runs just as fast wireless as it does on cat5 ! It's a little pricey but well worth it ! You would not be disappointed.
