    The founder of Aereo is promising to bring gigabit internet to every home

    $350 upfront for the device is pretty steep compared to either DSL or cable as your typical decent cable modem (such as an Arris 6183 ) is around $100 and a decent DSL modem (technically a network bridge really) is usually around $70. I will grant you that I'd be willing to pay more for higher...

    What's on your home network?

    Just a curious question since a lot of folks go all out on their home entertainment systems (I'm not alone in that, at least to a degree). I was just kindof wondering what folks have on their home networks. I might as well start off with mine: Clients: Windows 7 Ultimate PC (Custom built...

    Mac mini server...

    Neat, have the same setup going with my Amahi server. Is the Mac mini server using laptop parts? The only i7s I have found in the ARK that run at such a low clockspeeds are laptop parts. Makes sense I guess since it would be pretty tough to properly cool a desktop CPU in that small of a case.

    Mac mini server...

    Seems like it should fit your needs pretty well. Minis just won't cut it for me as a server though, I tend to put large amounts of disk storage on my servers and I really am none too keen on the idea of having a bunch of external USB/Firewire drives. Kindof surprised that you are throwing on a...

    New Wireless Router Advice

    Of that bunch D-Link followed pretty closely by Buffalo. And if money is no object and your wife won't throw you out of your house for spending more money on network gear than your car might be worth Juniper Networks equipment ;) (and yes I'm not really recommending that you go out and purchase...

    Need opinions on UPS experiences.

    You must be switching to battery A LOT in order to need a new UPS/battery after as little as one year personally I'd almost be concerned about the quality of the wiring in your house but perhaps its just the power grid in your area. Personally I've had good luck with the APC units (new & old)...

    New Wireless Router Advice

    Well, it can happen to any router but I can understand not wanting to get the same router again. So I would recommend a Buffalo WZR-HP-G450H instead for pretty much the same reasons although i don't have as much first hand experience with their products as I do some others.

    New Wireless Router Advice

    How about neither? Cripes, $180 (at least on Amazon) is WAY overboard for a SOHO router and while it's decent it's not $180 decent. Netgear isn't bad but personally I've had better luck with D-Link as of late and I'd recommend going with a DIR-655. The D-Link routers that I've used as of late...

    Router issue with 50MB service

    You may also want to consider the purchase of a different wireless N router altogether. I pulled up the specs on yours and except for the very first revision they all use the craptacular RALink chipset and use a SoC (System on a Chip) to process the data. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see...

    Home Made DVR

    Does your client have a budget at all? That would help. We also need to know if they want it so that they just use the charter SD box to send the digital channels to the DVR or if they just want the DVR to record the digital channels. Either one is possible. If they just want to use the existing...
