Dual band wireless router - G & N at the same time?

I feel bad stealing the OPs thread but it doesn't make much sense to start over. Having a PITA time with my N56U. The 2.4ghz channel is actually doing okay now, even in "AUTO" mode. It is playing well with G and N adapters. The 5ghz channel sucks though. I feel like it is choking the...

Dual band wireless router - G & N at the same time?

Yeah no doubt I will reconfigure the old G router. I'm just the type who gets super frustrated and determined when something simple doesn't work. I smash my head against it until I pass out or it starts working... FWIW, on my lunch break I got the print server working. Had to upgrade to...

Dual band wireless router - G & N at the same time?

I thought I solved all the problems. Forced everything to N, got an N USB adapter for the older laptop(s). Then I realized the printer (purchased last year...stupid HP) is only wireless g. So no problem, the router supposedly has a printer server. But everytime I plug it into the USB port...

Dual band wireless router - G & N at the same time?

First, yes I'm starting to give it some thought now. I have a G router, my old router, but if the main router is being forced to N only, will the G AP be able to receive the N signal and retransmit a G signal? Second, no, nothing about Cisco. It is an Asus screen and it appears the page is...

Dual band wireless router - G & N at the same time?

Okay funny...I'm having these issues and I have the same Asus router the OP referenced (not that it really matters). So first easy question, once you turn off any wireless G devices will the router ramp back up to N speeds? My issue: I setup the RT-N56U using default settings. I connected...

Upgrade Receiver or go Preamp/amp route?

I'd love to just simplify it all and get a Marantz reciever rather than a prepro so if a receiver can get me close to what the Rotel amp can get that would be great.

Upgrade Receiver or go Preamp/amp route?

Yeah I guess that's sort of the wild card option. Get an AVR and use the Rotel to run the system (at least 5 channels of it) if the AVR is found to not have enough sack. But if that is the case wouldn't I be better off just getting a stand alone pre/pro from the begining? I guess my...

Why does it seem that most laptops, even the higher end systems use a 5400 rpm drive? You'd think the 5400rpm drives would have been extinct years ago.

Okay well this doesn't appear to be as complicated as I thought, haha. So aside from the suggestion about going with a quad core does the ASUS K73 appear to be what I need to play blu-rays and edit MP4s? Does it seem like a good price for new? Seems like it is a great deal ($200 off), yes?

Doesn't have to be. Remember these are $179.99 msrp. For $199 the NHT's are an amazing sounding speaker. You just have to stay in the range they are designed for. Don't expect them to get overly loud and stay clean or produce bass cleanly below 100hz. Like I said, we'll see. I'll report...

I love a warm sounding system. My main system (Rotel and Snell) and my theater system (Onkyo and Monitor Audio) are both on the warm side. Metal tweets are not always bright and tinny, but I agree, more often than not a soft dome tweeter is more appealing. I saw all sorts of reviews on these...
