Good all around router

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is what I would consider a good basic router for today's home network environment. Most people have a half dozen items connected. The range and through put is good.

Very good router
on November 22, 2014

Verified Purchase:Yes
I often don't purchase top of the line product because of all the false hype. This unit is exceptional and is a great addition to make a good home network. With all of the items that are wireless now for the home, it requires a level of router used in small businesses a few years ago. I have 25+ items on at any given time. Thermostat, light switches, stream speakers, garage door opener, security DVR, Femtocell, along with laptops, smart TVs, bluray disk players, and PC's. No longer do I need to reboot the unit every day. If I do need to there is an app for that.

Maximize your productivity with this HP LaserJet Pro M277dw printer, which copies, scans and faxes and features built-in wireless networking that supports remote printing from compatible Android, Apple® iOS and Windows mobile devices.
 

Can you scan documents to go directly to your dropbox?

I believe you can pick that as your default folder in the scanning software, but I would recommend coping to Drop box with all data just in case it gets encrypted by some ransomware infected by you or another computer you share right to that dropbox with.

Can it print labels, stickers?

As with all "Laser " printers there is a heat issue, be sure you purchase the proper Avery labels for "laser" not ink... they have their own issues with smearing.

This WD My Cloud drive features a 4TB capacity and lets you stream media to compatible DLNA-/UPnP-capable devices or upload and access data on the go via PC, Mac and compatible mobile phones and tablets. Automatic backup helps safeguard your files.
 

Does this device do DLNA? I need to access ithe drive through mobile vr station. I've included a picture of the page that shows the different access portals in mobile vr station. Is it compatible? Which portal would I choose?

I know the IOS app works like a charm. I have access to all my backup data from anywhere on the planet in real time.

We have two families that operate off of one router. Can I still use this device to backup my own computers without affecting the other family's use of the router? If so, how would I install it (I am not very computer literate!). Thanks

Honestly if you are "sharing" an internet connection, your saving money. If you are asking such questions, hire someone to set it up for you.

Hello, Does this Storage Device work with Windows XP Pro? Can This *Cloud* Be Shared Across Computers using XP PRO on our Home Network? Is this Device made to Stream 24 x 7 ? Thanks in advance

Really still worried about Windows XP? But cross platform to Linux, Apple and Microsoft products ... you can turn on NFS ... and map drives to all these devices. Works like a charm.

Only at Best BuyThis powerful Insignia™ NS-STR514 2.0-channel stereo receiver features compatibility with Apple® iPhone® and iPad® and most Bluetooth-enabled devices for easy wireless music streaming. The A/B switch supports up to 4 speakers.
 

Has anybody used two or more of these 2 channel receivers and sync them all using CHROMECAST AUDIO group feature?

It does not matter what amp you have. The Chrome Cast Audio hooks up to any audio input. I have 8 of the CCA units into 8 different stereo amps, 3 of them happen to be these receivers. I use the AUX3 in the front and they work great. I can adjust volume for the different zones on each amp. Then I have whole house group, outside group, etc...

The NETGEAR SOHO Ethernet Unmanaged Switches provide easy and affordable network connectivity to small offices and home/offices. With these Plug-and-Play switches, you can quickly and easily expand your network connections to multiple devices, with no configuration required.
 

Which port does the cable coming in the back of the switch box go in or does it matter ?

Any port will do. There is no "uplink" designated on this unit. I would also assume that you could not use a cross over cable unless the device at the other end is capable.

Is this switch compatible with Cat 6 cables? It says cat 5, I just don't know if that means cat 5 or higher or cat 5 only.

I have Cat5e and Cat 6 connections on mine at home and they work fine.

Does this switch carry the PoE (Power over Ethernet) functionality? If so, what type of cable must be used for POE (Not looking for "Cat6 or Cat5e" answers, I'm talking twisted-pair or something like 568-A or related)?

PoE will pass through this switch but no it does not generate PoE (power over ethernet)

Can I take ethernet wire from my modem run it to the back of the switch then take another wire and hook my axis point to it without using ports on my route

You would want your router to be the first connection after your modem. otherwise any device you connection would be on it's own with no firewall. Also your ISP may limit the number of devices or IP's the modem gives out.
