I have a Netgear wireless router (WGR614v3), wireless NIC (WG511), and print server (PS101). The wireless stuff is 11g, not turbo/extreme. I've generally been very happy with them, BUT have experienced some of the problems you've had with your USR, with it failing when transferring a lot of data over wireless. I'm not sure, but I think I push it to its limits a lot more since getting by SBs. For example, the first time I really had problems with data transfer was copying several GB of newly-ripped flac files from my laptop to my server. And resets used to be a once-or-twice a year event, but now are much more regular, and I wonder if it isn't because it can't always handle all the flac traffic.
In fact, I often wonder if the complaints about "my wireless was fine before, so the problem must be the SB!" aren't really cases where the router/network has weaknesses that didn't show themselves before they were asked to move so much data around. FWIW, Dean B (the CTO) heartily recommends Belkin pre-N routers ( http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22990 ). -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24351 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
