Possible leaks, but again, Corsair says this thing will not leak and after looking at how the thing is put together, I believe them. At least it won't leak in the lifetime you have it in the system. Other thoughts: The directions tell you to pull air in from the case by mounting the fan/radiator to the inside back of the exhaust port. I actually did it different. I had it in a push/pull configuration. I push air from the inside, through the radiator and then pull the air through with a second fan on the outside of the back exhaust port. Temps: I have an i7 920 overclocked to 3.2GHz and my idle temps are 37/35/37/33c. Load temps are 59/57/58/55c with an ambient room temperature of 73F. Specs: Case - CM HAF 932 CPU - i7 920 Corsair 6GB Dominator BFG GTX 275 OC BFG 1200W PS 2 x WD Velociraptors Cons: Instructions are lacking (see my installation tips below), must buy additional fans to unlock its full potential (I didn't ding it for this in my rating because I knew this when I decided to purchase it), no screws for a second fan, an intake setup will screw up the airflow in your case so expect to play with the case fans a little to get it right. Ideally, I would like to knock off half a star for the instructions. --- General comments: The build quality is excellent however I did notice that a couple of the fins were slightly bent right out of the box. The threads on female thumb screws and the male thumb screws did not match up very well, so I still had to use a screwdriver after tightening them as much as possible with my hands. No big deal. The included fan has an annoying whining noise at full speed but I had planned on replacing it anyways. As with any high speed fan, I think the noise level would be reduced significantly by an anti-vibration gasket which can be purchased for about $5. At the time of writing this review, they are not on Amazon but Frozencpu has them (Feser 120mm Xvibe Noise Absorber). I didn't keep the stock fan. I ended up doing a push/pull setup using two XIGMATEK 120MM XSF-F1252 Case Fans which are rated at 75 CFM and seem to have pretty decent static pressure. They also make a whining noise but its more tolerable than the stock fan. If you want to run a two fan setup, you will need to run to your local hardware store and pick up four 6-32x1-1/4" screws and four #6 washers. The performance seems very good. With my OVERCLOCKED setup below, I am getting about 26C idle and 65C load with an ambient temperature around 22C. With the stock fan setup, you can expect a 4-6 degree increase in temperature. Pretty sweet if you ask me. CPU: 2600K OC to 4.7 GHZ at 1.365v Cooler: H60 with a push/pull intake Mobo: Asus P8P67 Delux RAM: Corsair Vengance 8gb 1866 Graphics: 2 x SLI MSI GTX 560Ti SSD: OCZ Vertex 3 120gb HDD: Samsung Spinpoint 72 1tb PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro M 1000w Case: Cooler Master CM 690 Advance --- Installation tips: There are two sets of thumb screws required for the installation, one set with two male ends, one set with female threads. To get the perfect installation, all these screws need to be evenly tensioned so that the cooling block sits evenly over the CPU. To do that, attach the back plate to the mobo using the male thumb screws. Tighten them by hand, a quarter turn past snug should do the trick. The cooling block is secured by the female thumb screws. Put the cooling block on top of the cpu and barely thread the female thumb screws on, just enough so that they are on (one or two threads). Then, in the X pattern shown in the instructions you want to tighten each about 1.5 turns at a time until they are all tight. This should ensure even tension. Don't over-tighten the thumb screws as this may mess up the contact between the CPU and the CPU pins on the mobo. A quarter turn to half turn past snug should do the trick. Remember, if you are unsure, its better to err on the side of caution. Intake or exhaust? The instructions recommend intake for best results. I agree because cool air from outside your case is used to cool the radiator. If you run a exhaust setup, the hot air from inside your case is used to cool the radiator. Keep in mind that an intake setup will probably mess up the airflow in your case since most cases are set up so that the air flows from front to back. You will need to change the orientation of some of your case fans so that the air flows from back to front. Its important to have good exhaust fans to expel all that hot air being blown into your case by the H60. In addition to the two 120mm intake fans for the radiator, I have one 120mm side intake to keep my graphics cool, two 140mm exhausts in the top of my case, and one 140 exhaust in front. The instructions tell you to plug the fan into the CPU fan header on your mobo, and the pump into any available 3 pin fan header. Since the power going to each of my 4 chassis fan headers cannot be adjusted independently, and because the pump needs a constant 12v supply of power I found it easier to plug it into my CPU fan header and change the fan setting so that it constantly gets full power. I then plug the fans into a regulated 3 pin fan header on the motherboard so that they, along with my regulated case fans, only kick into full power when needed. Or, if you prefer, just plug the pump directly into your PSU and save that CPU fan header for something else. The thermal grease included with the unit is very good. I recommend trying it out before running out and buying some fancy $10 tube. 21 of 23 people found the following review helpful: Really wanted to rate this higher  Great cooling This cooler is a great and easy way to cool your cpu. no hassle with tubes and routing, comes with everything you need and works great. by Charles Young Wonderful I adapted this great cooler to a Palit GTX 460 video card.

DB Link PK4Z 4 Gauge Power Series Amplifier Installation Kit
Manufacturer : DB Research L.L.P. Model : PK4Z ASIN : B000Q6DLTK Price : 41.99$ See Special Offers  Product Description1600W; 17-FT, 4-GAUGE, TRANSLUCENT RED LINKFLEX POWER CABLE; 17-FT JAMMING RCA CABLE; 3-FT, 4-GAUGE, BLACK LINKFLEX GROUND CABLE; 17-FT, 18-GAUGE, BLUE REMOTE WIRE; 25-FT, 16-GAUGE, SPEAKER WIRE; AGU HEAT-RESISTANT FUSE HOLDER; 60 AMP AGU GOLD-PLATED FUSE; 6-FT SPLIT LOOM; WIRE TIES & ACCESSORIES 33 of 34 people found the following review helpful: So much for so little! This review is from: DB Link PK4Z 4 Gauge Power Series Amplifier Installation Kit (Electronics) I searched high and low for an affordable 4 gauge amp install kit for an install I was about to do on my personal vehicle. The major name brand kits are near or well over $100 for 4 gauge and even though there are a plethora of "4 gauge" kits on ebay cheap, they are not true 4 gauge stranded wire (I even inquired about one and they replied it was 4 gauge insulation and not true 4 gauge wire inside). Whether or not you buy this kit, do the research and make sure you know what you are getting. I feel for the money, this kit is a great value. This kit has true 4 gauge stranded wire for the power and ground cables (4 gauge wire measures almost 1/4" in diameter). The cables have good insulation and are flexible. The kit also includes corrugated split loom to protect the power cable inside the engine compartment. It also comes with nice 16 gauge speaker wire which has small "+" symbols marked on the entire length of one of the pairs so that it is easy to know which is positive and negative on both ends when making connections from amp to speaker. The price has recently went up about ten bucks since I purchased it a month ago, but it is still a great value for the price. I can not comment on the RCA cable included because I am using a 5 channel amp and will be using a monster brand 6 channel rca cable instead of the included rca cable. It also comes with gold plated connectors and a nice o-ring sealed fuse holder and 60 amp fuse. There are also small black cable ties included. Overall, I am very pleased with the components and felt it was a great deal for what is included. 19 of 19 people found the following review helpful: Don't expect to get pure copper wire This review is from: DB Link PK4Z 4 Gauge Power Series Amplifier Installation Kit (Electronics) After reading the reviews on this and similar products here I picked this because people said it was actually 4 gauge wire. I measured it and I'd say it is. The diameter for 4 AWG is 0.20 inches and this measured out at about 0.24, but since it's stranded I assume the measured diameter should be larger than the solid spec. However one thing for sure, it is not pure copper wire. This wire is copper clad aluminum (CCA) which is aluminum wire with a thin copper plate on each strand. There is nothing wrong with CCA as long as you understand that aluminum has higher resistance than copper. 4 AWG copper is 0.253 ohms/1000 feet, 4 AWG aluminum is 0.408 ohms/1000 foot, which is about the same as 6 AWG copper. An aluminum wire needs to be about two gauges larger to carry the same current. So think of this kit as being a really good 8 AWG kit! I expect all the low cost amp kits use the same kind of wire. This is how you can get such a "deal" on the wire. If you are curious, a web search for these terms will turn up plenty of information. This review is from: DB Link PK4Z 4 Gauge Power Series Amplifier Installation Kit (Electronics) I was skeptical at first as if this kit was truly 4ga wire because it was only [...] bucks! well it definitely 4ga. this is a great kit for a non comp install. the RCA and remote wire are kind of thin but not bad. this is a great kit for anyone wanting to push 1k plus watts. Amazing, and super fast shipping I have nothing but amazing words for this item as well as the vendor. I chose standard shipping and received it a day later. by Bradley Groves All you need for a 4 gauge system It includes everything you need. I was able to connect my whole system with just this kit.

I got this very quick and i am very happy with the quality of the wire, VERY thick and i gauged it, it is true 4g. by Tqmidget Great kit This is a great installation kit for the price. I agree with a previous reviewer that the remote wire is a bit thin, but everything worked out fine. by Aero80 WAKA FLOCKA Lol I got 0 gauge wire for $20 at a flea market!

NETGEAR XAVB5001 Powerline AV 500 Adapter Kit
Manufacturer : Netgear Model : XAVB5001-100NAS ASIN : B004DVEW8I Price : 138.65$ See Special Offers  Product DescriptionNetgear XAVB5001 Powerline Network Adapter XAVB5001-100NAS Powerline Network Adapters 60 of 64 people found the following review helpful: Not as fast as advertised, but very good This review is from: NETGEAR XAVB5001 Powerline AV 500 Adapter Kit (Personal Computers) Testing was performed in a ~3-year old house and the 2 adapters were several rooms apart from one another on the same floor. With these adapters, performance can typically vary significantly based on wiring within the house, so YMMV. As a preview of the results, while they didn't achieve anywhere near the advertised 250 mbps (~31 MB/s) in each direction, they did perform much better than older generation powerline adapters I've used. When I plugged in the adapters, the Netgear software reported that I was getting ~220 Mbps in each direction, which was encouraging, but ultimately not even close to accurate. In addition to testing the adapters, I also wanted to test the efficiencies of different network protocols to see what would work best for streaming HD content to my XBMC / MythTV box. Below are the results. Testing was done using commands like the following on a Ubuntu Linux machine that tests reads and write speeds to network-mounted disk. Write: time dd if = /dev/zero of = /mnt/storagesmb/testfilesmb1 bs=16k count=16384 Read: time dd if = /mnt/storagesmb/testfilesmb1 of= /dev /null bs=16k (some extra spaces were added in the above lines to prevent Amazon's URL filtering from editing those lines out) Since the focus of my testing was primarily to verify read speeds from a media frontend to a backend storage server, I did not do significant write testing. Disk Read/Write Test Results: Protocol Test Type File Size Rsize (nfs) Throughput SMB Write 256MB na 03.8 MB/s SMB Read 256MB na 03.9 MB/s NFS v3 Write 256MB na 05.4 MB/s NFS v3 Read 256MB 16,384 09.3 MB/s NFS v3 Read 256MB 32,768 10.8 MB/s *** Amazon mangles any sort of tabular data when included in a review, so if you prefer to see the review in its original format, it is also available on my blog: [...] (Unfortunately, Amazon doesn't allow URLs in reviews, so copy/paste that into your browser and remove the spaces in the URL to find it) Next, a separate set of tests was done using iperf between two Ubuntu Linux machines. The server resides on a large RAID array capable of reads and writes upwards of 500 MB/s, so disk speeds were not a limitation in this testing. In theory, the iperf test should remove most inefficiencies related to network protocol and show raw throughput. As it turns out, the results are very similar to the NFS testing above, which speaks well of the NFS protocol. iperf results: ***ONE DIRECTIONAL TEST ------------------------------------------------------------ Client connecting to 192.168.1.111, TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 16.0 KByte (default) ------------------------------------------------------------ [ 3] local 192.168.1.182 port 42245 connected with 192.168.1.111 port 5001 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth [ 3] 0.0-10.0 sec 90.8 MBytes 75.9 Mbits/sec (9.49 MB/s) ***BIDIRECTIONAL (SIMULTAENOUS) TEST ------------------------------------------------------------ Client connecting to 192.168.1.111, TCP port 5001 TCP window size: 55.0 KByte (default) ------------------------------------------------------------ [ 5] local 192.168.1.182 port 60753 connected with 192.168.1.111 port 5001 [ 4] local 192.168.1.182 port 5001 connected with 192.168.1.111 port 59780 [ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth [ 5] 0.0-10.0 sec 57.4 MBytes 48.0 Mbits/sec (6.00 MB/s) [ 4] 0.0-10.1 sec 43.0 MBytes 35.7 Mbits/sec (4.46 MB/s) Combined => ~83.7 Mbits/sec (10.46 MB/s) SMB vs. NFS Conclusion: While this is probably no surprise to many, NFS is vastly more efficient. Using the same commands and testing read speeds with a 32k rsize, nfs outperforms smb by ~280%. The difference was noticeable on XBMC performance as well. When my network shares were mounted using SMB, I was unable to smoothly stream high bitrate uncompressed 1080p bluray rips (i.e. Avatar). However, when using NFS, it played absolutely everything I could throw at it. Netgear XAVB5001 Conclusion: Bottom line, if your wiring is fairly modern and free of interference, while these adapters fall far short of their advertised 500 Mbps speeds, they should be more than capable of streaming your uncompressed HD content if you can serve your files via NFS. Even if you are stuck using SMB (Windows network file sharing), most of your content will work without issue, but high bitrate uncompressed bluray will likely not play 100% smoothly. 29 of 31 people found the following review helpful: The non uber tech review for those who have used PLAs before This review is from: NETGEAR XAVB5001 Powerline AV 500 Adapter Kit (Personal Computers) I approach this review in the hopes of helping fellow home techies who were looking for a quick run down and potential benefit over older Powerline Adapter kits/units. Some good reviews in here detail the outputs of the units here in super fine detail. I'm sure many will find that helpful. I myself was looking for quick info on whether the AV500's were better than AV200's in general, or at least, better than my Netgear XAV2001 kit (AV200 "rated"). Most people know that the supposed throughput of a powerline adapter is pretty much BS. Saying one of these is "Gigabit" is pretty misleading. Mind you this really isn't a complaint. This feeds into the "more must be better" mentality in the tech industry. If you haven't figured out that this isn't always true, then let this product type be a key example. BUT...for me the question always has boiled down, for these types of products, is it in fact fast? Fast for what? Faster than the previous line? (I'm a habitual upgrader and am willing to pay to play if in fact the product offers a substantial benefit over my current gear.) So as I said I own the Netgear AV200/"200 Mbit" kit (XAV2001 I believe). I have previously used Linksys 85Mbit adapters to effect, and we have wireless in the house, but the AV200's were good performers and worth the ~$100 I spent on them, and adequately replaced wireless where I had some serious dead spots in my house. I dropped into Staples last night and lo and behold, they had the Netgear AV500 kit in their pretty red box for $139. I decided to give it a go, figuring if my network performance was significantly better, I'd keep them. If not, I'd return them, having kept the packaging perfect, and ensuring Staples would take them back if Netgear had BS'd the numbers. My overall setup is rather nightmarish to describle so I'll detail just the following: 1.) The AV500's went exactly in the place of the two AV200's. They are on separate ends of the house laterally , source on main floor, destination on second floor 2.) Same exact Cat 5 and Cat 6 cables in the same exact place 3.) While I seriously doubt this had any impact, I substituted an 8 port Cisco 10/100 switch for an 8 port Netgear ProSage Gigabit switch. (In theory I'm not touching the upper end capability of the Cisco switch so that's why I say it should not make a difference, but I point it out to not mislead.) 4.) Use: The AV500s link an AV Closet in a "black hole" of my house (the master bedroom) to a DLINK dual band Gigabit N-Router. The overall feed is, from Source to Destination, [FiOS Modem > NetGear 24 port Gigabit Switch > DLINK Gigabit Router > Netgear AV500 Unit 1 (Source) > Netgear AV500 Unit 2 (AV Closet) > Netgear ProSafe Gigabit Switch > Components). 5.) Components a.) Windows 7 PC / media server with 4 TB of stored lossless music and MKV/MP4 videos b.) Tivo Series 3 (x2) c.) Xbox 360 d.) BR Player e.) DLink Boxee (love this, 5 stars) 6.) AV200 vs AV500 - the beef Prior to installing the AV200's 9 months ago, my network performance in the destination area of the house was dismal. Averaging a series of speedtest.net runs where the only thing in the "component" list above that was using the network was the PC, I was getting avg 400Kbit/sec on a system that had previosuly scored 40Mbit Down 35Mbit Up in "wireless hot spots". The ~40Mb down speed was proven on several Speedtest.net runs and I'd proven it out when I downloaded a 1.7 GB file in under 7 minutes via a swarm, over wireless (in a much better location in the house). Download rates sustained for minutes at a time touched 4.3MegaByte per second. I was thrilled. Needless to say, when I saw the 90% drop in wireless performance in a critical area of the house, I knew I needed something better. I had built an AV closet in a bad spot of the house (well, bad for network, else great for my purposes). Installing the original Netgear AV200's, I saw speeds come back up to 2.2MegaByte per second. Speedtest.net showed similar Mb numbers (16-20MBit Down, 10-13MBit Up.) AV200's would have been ok but I was running into several problems. Beyond the closet, there are Tivos downstairs which require that the Powerline adapters be the medium between my PC/Server upstairs. PyTivo being the encoder, I saw a significant difference between "local" xfers in the bedroom, and xfers from upstairs to the downstairs area. Generally PyTivo could playback in realtime (initiate xfer, no wait, watch) on movies upto 720p. 1080 MKV containers took a little bit to get running, but overall, not bad. 1080 files xferred downstairs were a joke. I had to initiate the xter WELL in advance of watching it. SO...what do the AV500's do? Get this. Last night, first test - shut down all components except the PC. Begin download of a very popular show which should present the full challenge to the AV500's. Sustained speed download? 5.2MegaByte a second. I was very surprised. I would have kept these units if they'd come within 80% of my original wireless 4.2-4.4MB/sec. But to exceed their performance, simply floored me. I had pretty modest expectations that AV500s would defeat the AV200s. I was wrong. And I do love when I'm wrong and it benefits me. My 0.02 are that if my review hits on your , and you simply want to know if in the same exact setting these AV500's will improve your AV85/AV100/AV200 Netgear pair (or trio...), go for it. If you change nothing else, I am pretty confident you'll see quite a nice bump in performance. 15 of 17 people found the following review helpful: Works but your milage may vary. This review is from: NETGEAR XAVB5001 Powerline AV 500 Adapter Kit (Personal Computers) Put these in my home which was built in 1979. One on the first floor and one on the second floor. I believe the adapters are on different circuits. When I installed them out of the box the adapter software was reporting 90 megabit one way and 70 megabit the other way. At night when more electronics and lights are running the throughput would sometimes drop drastically. At one point I was only getting 60 megabit one way and 25 megabit the other way. Latency times were also ridiculously bad. A ping to my router was showing 15-30MS which is insane for a device that is in the other room. Because I'm an avid gamer this was completely ruining gaming and players reported to see me "warping" in quake. I then flashed the newest firmware on the adapters and saw a substantial improvement. Now the adapters show 110 x 100 megabit during the day and at night it drops to maybe 100 x 90 megabit. Your millage will vary because it seems various appliances or perhaps even the noise from the grid at night is going to affect your throughput in different ways throughout the day. The latency problem also seems much better as I now average 2-3MS pings to my router. Not sure why I can't get <1 MS pings but perhaps it's the nature of the beast.

What's in the BoxD-Link DAP-1522, CAT5 Ethernet cable, power adapter, CD-ROM with operating instructions * Due to government regulations the 5.25~5.35 GHz and 5.47~5.725 GHz wireless bands are removed. 97 of 99 people found the following review helpful: Works as expected This review is from: D-Link DAP-1522 Xtreme 4-Port GigaBit Selectable Dual Band Draft 802.11n N Duo Wireless Bridge/Access Point (Personal Computers) I've configured the DAP-1522 as a wireless bridge to a DIR-655 (2.5Ghz). I've got a PS3 and a Satellite DVR connected to two of the four ethernet ports on the DAP-1522. I have configured the 1522 to use WPA2 security as well. Setup was a little tricky, but it was my fault not the fault of the 1522. If you choose to manually configure the 1522 be sure you follow the directions and connect the 1522 to your computer and with your computer configured to use a static IP address in the 192.168.0/24 subnet. I mistakenly had my computer still trying to use DHCP when connecting to the bridge and it took me a little while to figure out what was wrong. My computer couldn't get an IP address and so Windows kept assigning an address from a different subnet, so I was not able to establish a connection to the DAP-1522's default 192.168.0.50 IP address. The 1522 works as expected. Performance is very good with a max of 162Mbps through 3 drywall walls (approx 40 ft) to my entertainment center as displayed on the DIR-655 console. I haven't run any local network bandwidth tests to verify the throughput yet, but I can easily stream HD content without blocking between a PS3 and a wired media server. Previously I was using the PS3's internal 802.11g network interface, and HD media was not viewable as it overwhelmed the 11g link. I did notice that the orientation of the DIR-655 and the DAP-1522 did make a difference in the reported signal strength and data rate as seen from the DIR-655 console. So after you've gotten things to work, don't forget to run some experiments to determine the best position for the devices to get the best performance possible. 113 of 121 people found the following review helpful: Great Access Point, Great Software, Poor Range This review is from: D-Link DAP-1522 Xtreme 4-Port GigaBit Selectable Dual Band Draft 802.11n N Duo Wireless Bridge/Access Point (Personal Computers) It might bear noting that I'm technically proficient, and I've used several access points and switches over the years. This was my first D-Link purchase in years only because Linksys's reputation has become pretty terrible. Overall, this piece of equipment is GREAT, with a HUGE caveat that the range SUCKS. I used this router for about 3 weeks before I replaced it with the D-Link DIR-825 because of the range problem. The 1522's user interface isn't bad. I had no problem configuring this switch to do everything I wanted. I did not experience any dropped connections or dropped packets. Granted 3 weeks isn't a terribly long time - but I never had to power cycle the Access Point. It just worked and did a great job. I should have known that since the DAP1522 uses an internal antennae the range would not be comparable to my old Linksys WRT54G. I am intentionally trying to share my wireless with my neighbors, and the DAP1522 is unusable, and I'm not exaggerating, 30 feet away. To be fair, there are 3 (non-thick, normal wood) walls between the DAP1522 and the laptop - but still 30 feet? On the other hand, this could be a major selling point. Scared that your neighbors might be stealing your wireless signal? Just buy a DAP1522! If you have a large house or coverage area, this isn't going to cut it. But if you live in a small apartment, this thing is perfect. For anyone who needs better range, I'd recommend the slightly more expensive DIR-825. PS For anybody who's confused - this bridge/AP is essentially a switch plus an access point. It lacks the "router" capability and WAN port that similar pieces of equipment have which make them routers. For the typical person, you only need a bridge/AP if you already have a router and want to add a wireless access point to your network. 46 of 50 people found the following review helpful: 5 stars for how well it works, minus 2 for angering me during set-up This review is from: D-Link DAP-1522 Xtreme 4-Port GigaBit Selectable Dual Band Draft 802.11n N Duo Wireless Bridge/Access Point (Personal Computers) I purchased to pair with the DIR-655 router and a DSM-750 media extender, both from Dlink. Depending on how you feel, this product could be anywhere from a 1 - 5 star item. The thing works great, which is the most important aspect to me. However, I would say that the range is less than excellent, thus a half star off for that. Another half star off because the reset button is pretty much useless. I'm taking the other star off for it being a massive pain in the butt to get it working - in bridge mode. AP mode is easy to set up. All you have to do is set the switch to AP on the back and connect it to your router with an Ethernet cable. You should then be able to access the configuration page by typing in 192.168.0.50 in your web browser. You can then set up the wireless broadcast as you see fit (enter in an SSID in the box (different from your router for a separate broadcast) - use a static IP address, set up the IP address of your router as the gateway address, etc). You can also update the firmware. Bridge mode is a completely different matter. Theoretically, you should be able to press the WPS button on your router and then press the button on your bridge and it will connect automatically (probably still helps to connect via Ethernet cable first so you can access the config page). Maybe that worked for some people, but it did not work for me. I tried push button connect, tried connecting using pin numbers, tried manually setting everything up, but nothing worked. I was tempted to think I had a defective unit, but it worked fine in AP mode, so I was sure the thing was functioning properly. Here is how I configured it to make it finally work in bridge mode. First, I reset this and my router to factory defaults. I set the switch on the back to bridge mode. I connected the bridge to the router via Ethernet cable. I turned on the router and then the bridge. I set up the router as before - broadcast in 802.11n only mode, 40MHZ and WPA2 (AES encryption), which enabled me to achieve 300 mbps network speed. I then went to the config page for the bridge. On the wireless set-up, I manually set it up to match the router. I selected the static IP. I left the SSID box blank and used the site survey to select the wireless connection from my router. I then de-selected the clone MAC box. As if by magic, the stupid thing finally connected wirelessly, and i have been pleased with its performance since. I was even able to unplug it and set it up in another location, and it was still able to connect. Worked Perfectly! I had to use this device as a wireless access point in my dorm because wireless connectivity was so horrible in and around my part of the building, and It worked perfectly! by Jamashinaida Easy Networking I am a fan of D-Link products. This wireless access point was easy to install and configure and is an upgrade from our wireless G access point. by pctechbytes P.i.t.A to set this thing up Not a big fan of DLINK at all, but given this is the only product available for what it does I had to bight the bullet. by Harold Balzak Two annoying problems with it (one big, one small) I had been staying away from D-Link for over 5 years because of negative experiences with their networking products, but decided to try again. by P.

Buffalo Technology AirStation High Power N300 Gigabit Wireless Router & AP WZR-HP-G300NH (Black)
Manufacturer : BUFFALO Model : WZR-HP-G300NH ASIN : B0028ACYEK Price : 129.99$ Last Price : 57.01$(Discount 56.1427802138626% See Special Offers  Product DescriptionBuffalo Nfiniti WZR-HP-G300NH Wireless-N High Power Router WZR-HP-G300NH Routers & Gateways - Wireless 73 of 75 people found the following review helpful: Excellent Router, Outstanding Range This review is from: Buffalo Technology AirStation High Power N300 Gigabit Wireless Router & AP WZR-HP-G300NH (Black) (Personal Computers) Pros: Excellent Range - even with existing Wireless G clients Gigabit ethernet ports Network Attached Storage VPN Endpoint Excellent web interface with help along the right column Our house is like a wireless black hole. We have tried multiple Wireless G routers and cannot get a strong signal throughout the house. If the router is in the center of the house, we usually get a 11 mbps connection from our Wireless G clients. If we put the router at one end of the house, we do not get a signal at the other corner. We don't live in a huge house by the way. With this router, we get a full strength signal through the house, regardless of whether it is placed in the center or in one corner. I assume it's due to high gain antennas plus the built-in power amplifier. The range of our Wireless-G network has been extended greatly without even having to upgrade our computers to Wireless-N adapters. Most Wireless-N routers transmit in the 100 mW range (e.g. Linksys WRT610N, D-Link DIR-825). This router transmits above 800 mW, close to the legal limit of 1000 mW. You can look up the transmit power of all routers on the FCC web site. Excellent product! Update on September 1, 2009: Buffalo has confirmed a bug in the router. It sometimes loses the ability to connect to wireless clients. It seems to happen to me once every 1-2 weeks. I have to reboot the router to correct. They assured me that the first firmware update will correct it. The significant speed and range improvement for me makes it worth dealing with this minor issue. Also, a positive review from Small Net Builder (formerly Tom's Hardware): [...] Update on October 29, 2009: Updated firmware (v1.65) is available on the Buffalo Technology website. My router is running it, and so far I have not seen any issues. 47 of 49 people found the following review helpful: Excellent Router. DD-WRT Firmware in a few months! This review is from: Buffalo Technology AirStation High Power N300 Gigabit Wireless Router & AP WZR-HP-G300NH (Black) (Personal Computers) I bought this router after considering EVERY other one on the market as of this review date regardless of price... Literally EVERY other router, from Linksys (610) to Netgear (3700) to D-link (855, 4500, 4300) to Belkin... I do NOT regret it for a second. Every other router seemed to have it's minuses and was more expensive than this one. After a small setup glitch with my comcast modem I've been up and running for weeks with a full signal everywhere in my 2-story house. I have the router in my basement and I still get a full signal on the opposite end of the house on the second floor. For (...) this was the best purchase I've made this year. On top of this with the newest (1.70) firmware everything seems to work very well and the news just keeps on getting better... Buffalo just announced last month that starting this summer all new firmware for all of their wireless routers will be based on the awesome DD-WRT firmware! This is an industry first that should not be overlooked. Buffalo tech just shot way up on my tech list of best brands. Here is a link to the press release: (...) The only complaint I have about the router is that it only supports drives with a fat, fat16 or fat32 filesystem... This sucks if you're downloading (or want to share) any files bigger than 4gb. Overall do NOT hesitate to purchase this router, you will not be disappointed. 30 of 31 people found the following review helpful: It's the best, but you need to be ready to work for it. This review is from: Buffalo Technology AirStation High Power N300 Gigabit Wireless Router & AP WZR-HP-G300NH (Black) (Personal Computers) The product description, and the other reviews here, say a lot. But most of them seem to be missing a few points, which I think will be useful to anyone who is thinking of buying it, or who has already bought it. Most people will be able to use the standard firmware just fine. It's not a problem. DD-WRT, in my experience, wasn't all that great, but was easy to install. Installing Gargoyle massively improved my experience with this router, over either the default firmware OR DD-WRT. Google it, and be prepared to do a lot of digging on their forums. It's worth it, if you're tech-savvy enough. For those complaining that you aren't getting any benefits over your old G router: 1. Are you using Wireless N compatible cards in your computers and devices? If not, you won't get much of an improvement. 2. Is the router set to WEP encryption? If so, the whole network will drop back to a weird version of Wireless G. Use WPA2-PSK, and you'll notice an immediate doubling in speed. 3. What channel width are you broadcasting at? If you're using 10, you'll be getting G speeds and range. If you're using 20, you'll be getting 150-ish at most. If you're using 40, you'll get your full 300 and amazing range, no problem, unless your wireless card is capped at 150 (some are, check the specs). 4. Lastly, what channel are you on? If you're on a crowded channel (try using InSSIDer or NetworkStumbler), you'll want to change it. 6 is the default, but you may have better results on 1 or 11. If you can afford it, using a spectral analysis tool (MetaGeek's Wi-Spy tool is about $99) can help sort out interference in a crowded area, as microwaves, mice, and even LCD monitors can cause interference. Check into all of the above, and you'll likely fix a lot of your problems, and realize that this is a pretty beastly machine. It can also handle a ridiculous number of open connections, which is best showcased when running servers within the network, or using any type of torrent application (which, of course, you're just using to patch World of Warcraft or download totally legit files)--the previous wireless router (a Linksys) in this household would often make it to about 300kBps in torrents, then slowly drop for a few minutes, then ramp back up. With this router, it can quickly reach the max bandwidth allotted by my QOS settings (5MBps) and stay there. Also, there's the obvious stuff: You need a fast internet connection to get fast internet. If your connection is slow, or just bad, your router won't fix anything, or make it any faster. The router will only help with the network's stability and INTERNAL speed, which, while worth it, won't mean much more than shaving a couple of milliseconds off your ping (which is just fine for gaming) and keep your connection from dropping. If you know enough to care about your internal network speeds (home/business LAN servers, NAS, etc.), I don't really need to explain the benefits to you. My only complaint? I wish I could install my own antennas. It's a little odd, to me, that the highest-power model, with the most features, has hard-wired antennas. They work okay, especially after careful tweaking of their positions, but I'd really prefer to install my own. All the computers in a relatively large brick house with a lot of thick walls get great signal, and my brother's iPod managed to get a relatively good signal about a quarter of a mile away. This means you DEFINITELY want to secure your network, though (I mentioned WPA2-PSK, above).
