Which Linksys Product Should I Get?

Good day to you all
I would like some solid pointer advice to set me off in the right direction.
I need to extend the range & scope of my wireless network.
I have a BT ADSL router with a Netgear 302 Access point plugged into it.
I then have a 50m clear line-of-sight to my flat where I want to install "SOMETHING" that has 4 ethernet ports, two aerials (the netgear has Send & Receive antenna so would like the receiver to have the same) that I can plug my two PCs into and they will then be able to access the internet.
I have seen the terms "bridge" and "wireless switch" bandied about, and a little digging has made me fancy the look of the WRT54G (two aerials, plenty of config options).
But I would appreciate a good, solid reply recommending a specific "SOMETHING", suggesting a firmware upgrade if necessary, and suggesting in which mode it be used.
I am normally the go-to guy for technical questions, but I am a bit out of my depth with wireless networking once it gets complicated.
Peace and goodwill to you all
Tony

If you are planning to buy WRT54G router, then how you are planning to connect this Router? will it be Hardwired to the Modem or it will get the Internet from your Netgear Access Point?
If you want that the router should talk to your Netgear access point, then you need a Wireless Bridge (WET610N) , which will talk to your Netgear  Access Point wirelessl. Then you can Connect a Wireless Router (WRT54G)  to the Bridge and that will make all you computers go online wired as well as wirelessly.

    Hi Jessica,
    I think that the deciding factor concerning which size to get would be how you intend to use it.  People who tote their macbooks around alot, such as sales people or executives (road warriors) and also students who need to take their computers to school, surely would benefit from the smaller 11inch version.  In your case, if you are going to use it in a comfortable environment, such as in bed, or on the sofa, the larger 13inch model would be more beneficial,especially if you watch videos and play games fairly often.  Even if you lug it around a little, to Starbucks or a friends house, or take it with you on vacation once in a while, I feel the larger model would be suitable for you.

  • Which IPad model should I get?

    Hi,
    I am considering buying an IPad for school and I don't know what to get. I need help choosing which one I should get.
    I have concerns for these things:
    ~ 3g or Wifi only? I have no Internet at home and no other sources for Internet. I currently go to a family members house to use Wifi.
    ~ IPad or IPad 2? I do not know which one is better. I am currently leaning towards the IPad 2, but I would like a second opinion.
    ~ 16gb, 32gb, or 64gb? I only put apps, a few TV shows, music, voice memos, and notes currently on my iPod touch (32gb).
    ~ Where should I get it? Should I buy it over the Internet or in-store? If I buy it from the Internet, I will most likely buy it from the Apple Store.
    ~ Can you engrave it in a store? Could an IPad be engraved when you buy it from a store and then be shipped to you?
                                     --thank you for trying to answer these questions!

  • Which MacBook Air should I get? 13 inch or 11 inch

    I want a MacBook Air for Reaktor 5, uploading videos to YouTube with iMovie, stuff I cannot do on my iPad, games (Assassins Creed, Bioshock), web browsing, etc. Should I get the Refurbished MacBook Air 11 inch 128gb SSD 4gb RAM intel core i7 2.0 ghz, or refurbished Macbook Air 13 inch 256gb SSD 4gb RAM intel core i5 1.8ghz. I am 12 years old so I need something more portable than the MacBook Pros.

    If you can afford, buy a new MB Air 13-inch with 256 GB storage and 8GB RAM.
    Otherwise go for "refurbished Macbook Air 13 inch 256gb SSD 4gb RAM intel core i5 1.8ghz".

  • Which Oracle products should we use?

    We are looking to build, from the ground up, a site that is roughly a combination of www.kudzu.com and www.accessatlanta.com. Which Oracle products would help us best develop, test, and implement a similar solution.
    The primary confusion for me is whether the Portal product would be a good fit, or whether some other product(s) would be better.
    Many thanks in advance for any and all input.

    First, thank you VERY much for your reply. This post has received lots of views but no comments until yours. I appreciate your taking the time to offer a bit of advice and assistance.
    If I understand correctly, you're suggesting developing the whole thing using J2EE rather than a product like Oracle Portal. I assume we would still be able to deploy using components of Oracle Application Server. Is this correct?
    Ultimately, this portal website will be very database centric. All of the ads, listings, content, etc., would have to be stored and managed using a database. Would using J2EE be the most effective way to accomplish that?
    I'm sorry if I seem a bit of a newbie. I know enough that I want to use Oracle technology, but not enough to know which products. Essentially, I'm the guy with the idea and I need some assistance figuring out the products so I know which product expertise to look for when hiring the right technical staff.
    If you have any additional thoughts, please share. In the meantime, thanks again for your response.

  • Which Adobe product should I use ?

    Hi!

    Hi Wiggur!!
    All you said is possilbe by creating Actions in Acrobat X. That will be a silent process and will do everything automatically. Installation of Acrobat on servers depends on the license that you purchase. But certainly you can do that. That will be a silent process and you can call those actions by any programming language, i guess!

  • Changing from PC to Mac--which PS Elements should I get?

    I have been using PSE 7 on my pc, and it has done everything I need it to do, EXCEPT for including the llight blue guidelines that allow me to easily line up images. I have Wiindows 7 installed on my new iMac, and I suppose I could move PSE 7 from my pc to the mac, and work in Windows. But I think it's time for me to get the Mac version of PSE.
    As I said, the only feature I need beyond what PSE 7 has is blue guidelines. If I get PSE 8 for the Mac, do you think this is all i need? Or is there another reason to get a more recent release?
    Thank you.

    You can still purchase PSE8 and other versions online from sites like Amazon however Adobe no longer provides support for those versions. In any case the price difference is small compared with PSE10; so I would recommend buying the latest version. If you then experience any difficulties with installation or operation you will get the benefit of support.
    You can also download a scaled down version from the Mac App Store or iTunes Store for PSE9. However this is the Editor only and lacks the Organizer. Some Mac users find it convenient but I would not recommend it personally. The saving is only $10 compared with a purchase directly from Adobe which often comes with a $20 mail in rebate or discount from a retailer; so effectively you could be paying more. Most books and tutorials involve steps going to and from the Organizer to the Edit modes and also if you ever wish to upgrade in future Adobe will simply send you back to the app store. You will need both platforms initially.
    You can download PSE10 from the following link and try it out for 30 days, free of charge. If you like it and decide to keep it, simply purchase a boxed version of PSE10 from your favorite retailer and enter the product code from the DVD box into the trial. No further installation from disk is required.

  • Which cooling pad should I get for my MacBook Pro?

    I have the mid 2012 Mac Pro (the $1500 one) and now it is going to get hot in my country.Like around 110F and it is 92 and my Mac is starting to get really hot.So I was thinking of which cooling pad I should get.

  • Which MacBook Pro should I get?

    I'm gonna do it. Question is, which one?
    The 1.83 is $500 cheaper, which leaves some extra $$ for upgrading RAM, and going with the 100 GB 7200 rpm HD. I'm guessing the performance difference between the 1.83 and the 2.0 would be negligible. However, I noticed the 1.83 has 128 mb of video ram while the 2.0 has 256, and it's not possible to upgrade the 1.83. I'm wondering how significant this will be, especially since I use Aperture and from what I understand it relies heavily on the graphics chip.
    What do you think? Should I go with the 1.83 or bit the bullet and get the 2.0?
    Thanks...

    Thanks for your feedback.
    The question (and I think it's a valid one), is how much of a difference will the extra 128 MB on the video card and the .17 Ghz on the chips make? Will it be noticeable, or simply somethinig that can be measured by speed tests in a lab?
    I know with G5 desktops for example I can't tell a huge difference in day-to-day usage between the dual 2.0 and the dual 2.3. The major speed bumps, in my experience, tend to come from hard drive speed, RAM and graphics chip.

  • Which MacBook Air should I get?

    Somebody wants to buy me a MacBook Air as a present because I will be doing volunteer work starting in January helping some disabled people learn to use Macs on Sundays.
    I wonder which I should get.
    Does anybody know the difference between these two models (see screenshot - it's Japanese, but you should get the gist of it). One has 256 SSD and one has 256 "Flash Storage."  What's the difference? Is one just an older model?
    Should I add a little extra and go for a Pro model?
    This would be a "2nd computer" for me for travel and when out of the office. My main computer is my iMac.
    Opinions welcome!
    Thanks,

    Get the 2013 model much better
    2013 differences:
    2013 model has 802AC wifi, much faster
    dual mics
    cooler Haswell processor
    longer battery life
    id call Apple again to verify the models are the same, I dont speak Japanese, but from the pics, you can tell, because the 2012 dont have dual mics on the left side, 2013 does

  • Which mac mini should I get to setup osx server

    Hello!
    I run a small development team though we are fairly new at working together and we're trying to setup an efficient development environment for us.  I've recently stumbled on to 'continuous integration' and had heard that a Mac Mini server can go a long way toward reaching that goal. 
    Keep in mind, though we're iOS developers and are technologically competent, none of us have server admin experience.
    Unfortunately the latest update to Mac Mini does not have a server model.  That leads me to the following questions:
    1) Should I purchase an older mac mini that is already setup as a server?  (aka, Mac mIni server)
    2) Should I purchase one of the newer models and install OSX Server myself?  I heard it's cheap off the Mac App store, so price is not a concern, but I'm not sure what the tradeoffs are of getting one that is already a supposed server, and setting one up myself as a server.
    3) If I do purchase one of the three newer models, how do I know which one I need to support our environment?  Lower cost is obviously better, but I don't want to short change ourselves on the required power.  We would use the server mostly for file sharing, collaborating, code repos, CI, etc.  We have a website that we host on Godaddy and I would move it to our server if I could, but this is low on the priority list.
    I'm also open to options such as, do none of the above and wait for a new Mac mini server model to come out, but I'm anxious and want to get started
    Thanks so much for your help and advice!
    Frankie

    A server model is NOTHING but a 2nd 2.5" HD and the OSX Server APP
    buy a quad core mini (on sale now at best buy), and purchase a 1TB Hitachi ($65) 7200RPM HD off ebay
    and purchase the server APP from the APP STORE.
    OR, just find a new or used server model 2012 Mini
    dont even think about fooling with the new 2014 Mini.   Lost cause.
    I use godaddy as well, and ergo have NO need for a Mini server, even though I own 4 Mac Minis.
    godaddy is cheaper and easier ......you should possibly consider the same

  • Which Macbook Pro should i get for use with Solidworks?

    I want to get a Macbook Pro but unsure whether to go for the higher end 13 inch or the lower end 15 inch.
    I will be running Solidworks(CAD) a lot as im in my final year of an engineering degree.
    Has anyone got either and had any problems etc?
    Thanks

    Yes, the MBP you've suggested will do fine with MainStage but at the same time, I'd recommend you getting the fastest machine you can realistically afford as MS is still a very resource-hungry beast.....especially once you get to know it and decide that you want to do extra stuff that you didn't originally intend to do with it!
    I also run a MOTU Ultralite MK3 and can recommend this as a very good bang-for-buck interface.....especially the new hybrid model (which I don't have) that has both firewire AND USB. Apart from Apogee interfaces - which are apparently phenomenal (and phenomenally expensive!) - I've also heard extremely good things about the RME Fireface 400 and 800 interfaces.
    But back to the MOTU Ultralite MK3: it has heaps of I/O, is half-rack space (so very portable), is bus-powered (with A/C option), has onboard DSP FX, the latency is very low, is easy to set up and use, and is quite affordable for what you're getting. And MOTU is pretty good with tech support and the drivers are very high quality. Can't go wrong, really.
    The only other thing I'll mention about using a MBP is that having a decent screen size can really help if you're using it live at gigs. I have the current top of the line 17" model and really notice the screen size difference compared to friends who have the 13" or 15" models.....there's a HUGE difference in screen "real estate" with the 17" screen.
    BTW, it's rumored that Apple will soon be announcing the next MBP models and so you may want to wait till the end of April before you decide to buy something.

  • Which Macbook pro should I get? 2.53 vs 2.66

    Does anyone have a good reason to get the 2.66 over the 2.53 macbook pro?
    Both are 15" both have 4GB ram
    2.53 3MB cache:
    250GB 5400RPM Hard drive.
    Nvidia 9400M shared graphics.
    1 fan
    2.66 3MB cache:
    320GB 5400RPM Hard drive.
    Nvidia 9400M + 9600M GT (w/dedicated 256MB ram)
    2 fans
    I'm not a game player, I am not sure I'd see a huge speed increase (.13 ghz) and the extra 70GB isn't that enticing. So normally, I'd say it's not worth it, but I wonder if there's other apps that would make use of the 9600GT now that OpenCL has been included in 10.6
    Thoughts please! Convince me to stay at 2.53 or move higher!

    I'm always a proponent of more RAM for performance, but I'm using a late 2007 MBP 2.6 GHz with 4 Gig of RAM and feel that is sufficient for my needs. My biggest users of resources are 2 virtual machines (Fusion 2.0.6 right now, 3.0 within a month I'm planning). I also run XCode occassionally (mostly for iPhone, but sometimes for Mac). Also do some website development with MAMP Pro. To date I've never run low on RAM with this configuration.
    For better Virtual Machine performance I would seriously consider an external drive. No matter how you slice it having 2 OSs use the same drive will create some resource contention. SSDs may pretty much eliminate that with near zero seek time, but it is my understanding SSD write performance is about the same as a 7200 RPM traditional disk.
    What I did to speed up I/O was to purchase a RAID 0 external disk. I am currently using it via Firewire 800. Originally I was connecting it via eSATA (not an option for the newer 15" MBPs) which may have had a bit more performance, but not significant.
    To me the more significant difference between the 2.53 & 2.66 models is the separate graphics card. With Snow Leopard being able to use the processing power in that card for general purposes you will likely see a greater performance difference than just the .13 GHz of the respective CPUs.
    I always try to get the best non-upgradeable specs on a computer as I can afford. As you have implied at some point you can put in more memory or upgrade to a faster hard drive (whatever the technology at the time) but the CPU speed and graphics capabilities are fixed for the life of the computer.
