What router can stand out against considerable usage?

It's the test of the "wireless part" of speed, not the wired part.

What router can stand out against considerable usage?

Questions: 1) do I need to buy a gateway router which has gigabit port? AFAIK, I believe the setup is: Modem <--> Router <--> Switch <--> NIC 2) Can it really do what it claims? Although it says it can run up to 1000Mb (assuming we can really use that much), it doesn't mean it actually can.

Well if draft-n can only help to boost "wireless part" of the wireless router and it's expensive to get, we will probably not consider it whether or not the future compatibility issues. I believe our network card can only support up to 100Mb/s (=12.5MB/s). It really depends on the cost of the...

What router can stand out against considerable usage?

These are the questions that are left unanswered, and I'm still puzzling over: 1) Do I need to buy a fast wireless router in our case? 2) Is it true that *ALL* routers can let us share connections of *ANY* technology provided by *ANY* ISP (this would be ADSL, ADSL2+, VDSL, fibre)? The ISP will...

What router can stand out against considerable usage?

Hmm... I see different routers are listing slightly different network protocols in the specifications. The terms that I see: "PPPoE, PPPoA, Dynamic IP, CSMA/CA, CSMA/CD, TCP/IP, DHCP, ICMP, NAT". What do they mean? I think it is related to the broadband technology that are supported. But which...

What router can stand out against considerable usage?

Most are connected via wired. Different computers will share data among one another. The desktop will also be used to share our free resources to the rest of the world. The notebook is mainly used to get Internet connection. It won't do heavy data transfer or FTP/BT/P2P. Otherwise we can...

What router can stand out against considerable usage?

Well, the modem will be provided by the ISP. We want to make sure we can use the same router when we move to a new place with a new ISP, or when we change services. We don't want to buy a new router simply because we can't use the old one to share the connection. Does router generally support...

It's for a local/home network. It should at least support 10M (download/upload), preferably 30M (download/upload). It should be stable and no constant crashing/reboots. No specific budget. Prefer getting the cheaper unless it's proved to be of great help. All desktop computers will be...

What do you pick - E21xx OR E7200 OR Others, and what RAM?

One question: Is single or double-sided RAM still a concern in today's world? If so, how can I know if it's single/double-sided and which one should I get?

What do you pick - E21xx OR E7200 OR Others, and what RAM?

Achieving 3.6Ghz mark with Intel HSF is interesting. But how can I know if my case will have good temps (like what range of temps)? I would guess the evils of the heat stems from CPU and graphic card. The rest should be pretty cool, aren't they? Mobo: Foxconn P35A-S, Intel P35 chipset, two...

What's the Intel official price of E7200 after the price cut? It's still selling at US$122 in my local stores. Has it already reflected the price cut? This is the only chart that I can find: http://www.techpowerup.com/img/07-05-15/Inte.jpg (How can I show the chart directly on the post?)

Apart from dual-channel, what problems do I face if I mix and match different RAMs (in size/timings/brand)? BTW I don't buy online.

What do you pick - E21xx OR E7200 OR Others, and what RAM? I'm a budget overclocker. I'm also a price/performance geek. My current pick is E21xx which is very cheap and can overclock to 3.0Ghz easily with stock cooler. I'm also interested in the new E7200 but it's 100% expensive at my local...

When you buy a PSU, you must buy twice as much as you need!!

They can read reviews to get the figures. Low load here means somewhere between, say, 0-20% load. When the load is too light, the efficiency drops significantly. When people tend to largely overestimate what they need (don't forget they double their requirement based on MAX watt usage)...
