I bought the WRT350N Now I need help

Bought the WRT350N but everything I’ve heard and read about this router is that it's garbage which I find hard to believe that Linksys would release an item that did not work if configured right.
I have 3 laptops (all factory built-in wireless connections which I believe all are 802.11g, bluetooth, and land pro 10/100/1000) and 2 desktop computers (one utilizes a Belkin 802.11g 125 2.4GHz and the other desktop and my current Belkin wireless router is connected to the internet via a 3Com 8/TCP Hub.)
I am trying to accomplish three things by upgrading my wireless router.
1) Increase the range and preformance of the wireless network.
2) Make it easier and more secure to share the hard drives and printers connected to my main desktop (computer currently connected to the internet via the 3Com Hub), and a HP USB 2.0 500GB Personal Media Drive. (I am currently NOT SHARING anything because I am utilizing the 3Com Hub in order to obtain maximum performance for my main desktop computer and trying to share anything on it create a security nightmare)
3) Reason for upgrading to the WRT350N is that I wanted to plan for the future upgrade of both the wireless and hard wired network cards.
Questions / Best way to proceed:
1) If I replace the 3Com Hub with the WRT350N router, then connect my desktop (that is currently connected via the 3Com Hub) to one of the 10/100/1000 network connections on the router, will I see a noticeable difference in my desktop PC internet connection performance or is the 10/100/1000 network connection more like a pass-through on the 3Com Hub? Current dslreports dot com speed test is (Down / Up -- 9909 / 1114 (1000 bits pre second)), which is about average for my cable connection.
1.b) If connected as described in 1.a above will I decrease the available band width the router uses for the wireless connections when the desktop is downloading large download?
1.c) Or should I connect the WRT350N router and my desktop to the network via the 3Com Hub? And if this is the best to way to configure my network dose anyone know how to configure / install the WRT350N router through the 3Com Hub?
2) If connected as described in 1.a above is it possible to share the peripherals connected to my main desktop with the other wireless computers in my house without unnecessarily exposing my main desktop to the internet?
3) Since all my wireless computes are 802.11g, bluetooth, and land pro 10/100/1000, will the WRT350N router handle all the different connections automatically?
OR
If someone knows of any other Linksys N compliant router that may be better than the WRT350N for my situation please reply with your suggestions / comments because I can still exchange it for a different router
I don’t mind spending the money if this is the best way to go.
Thanks in advance for any help / suggestions.

How come most of my songs i purchased on itunes don't work? It says there is no file found for it when I bought the songs. I need help!

I bought many songs from Itunes and when I went to plug in and download my songs onto my laptop it only downloaded 20 songs that I purchased and the rest were counted as "There was no file to support this song" And I don't know how that even happened and now on my ipad none of the cover art for the purchased songs show up and none of the songs I bought on itunes are shown and play when I go to the purchase part of the music itunes store and its really ******* me off making me feel like I just wasted money on buying songs I can never listen too! I need to know how I can fix it ASAP.

You can redownload the songs as many times as you want, the "one time regrant" no longer exists. Make sure you are using the same apple id on both your dead itouch and your iphone 4. On your iphone 4 go to the itunes app > Purchased (may be under more based on your settings) at the top click not on this iphone, click all songs then click the little cloud next to each song you want to redownload. It will prompt you for your id and password and the begin your download

Try using the app My Contacts Backup, which will back up your contacts as an attachment to an email. Send this email to yourself, open it on your Mac and double-click the attachment to import them to Address Book (or Contacts if you have Mountain Lion).

I'm trying to print using my iPad2. The Apple tech told me to install the HP print app Need help to

Installed the HPapp for my iPad2, now I need help making it work with the deskjet 6840

Which HP App are you trying to use? Is it the HP ePrint app or the HP iPrint app? Since your printer is wireless (and not web connected) I'd recommend the HP iPrint app. Can you double check that the iPad and your printer are on the same wireless network.. this is key in printing from your iPad to this printer.
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP

Hi saiyed adil,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It appears that your iPhone 5s sometimes produces low sound, but a restart corrects it.
It can take some time to isolate and resolve intermittent issues like this one, and I'd recommend going through the steps in this guide the next time it occurs:
If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support
All the best,

Hi massif76198910,
I don't see that you had a paid FormsCentral account. Were you using the free account? If so, you should still have access to the form until FormsCentral is retired on July 28 2015,
Are you able to log in? Or do you get an error when you try to log in to your account? Please try clearing the browser cache, or logging in via a different browser.

I am using a DAQ board to get the singnal now i need to perform frequency analysis and this system doesn't employ any filters etc it's just a signal

Iam using AT-MIO-16E-2 board to retrieve the signal now i need to perfrom a frequency analysis and this process doesn't employ any filters etc.

There are a lot of shipping examples that you can look at. They're under Analyzing and Processing Signals>Signal Processing. There are software filters and window functions that you can use but if you are having aliasing problems, then the only thing you can do is add hardware filtering.

My ipod screen just turned blank white randomly and now it won't turn off/reset or connect to the computer... need help

my screen just turned blank white randomly and now it won't turn off/reset or connect to a computer or really do anything... need help.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I Bought a Mac mini from the U/S. I need help changing the software to Canadian

I need help to change to Canadian software. I keep being refered to the U/S which has more restrictions on some books and iTunesU. I also lost $9:00 due to the U/S not recognizing my acct.

So, when you set it up you gave it Canadian info & Timezone?
I wonder what People do that travel with Macs???
Is your Apple Account/ID US or Canadian?

I was cleaning up unwanted music on my ipod and now finished get this message "Do Not Disconnect" and it won't do anything else now ? Need help? name is Tom

I had bought this quite some years ago but would like to now update it and now have hit a glitch. I need help without loosing all my downloads ?

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.
