Thecus N4100 IP Storage Appliance [Review, Hexus]
If you're looking for a new means of storing and protecting
the vast amount of data you have somehow managed to acquire, then ask
yourself whether an IP storage solution would be feasible for you. If
you really need a 100% uptime, network attached storage device with
access control and hotswap array rebuilds, and you don't mind the 7
hour RAID 5 build (which is only likely to be an issue once,) then
the N4100 is worth considering. Just bear in mind that 900GB of
protected network attached storage in a sexy black box will set you
back a grand. Mon, 18 Jul, 2005 | 58 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
D-Link Air Premier 802.11a/b/g Wireless Network [Review, Bjorn3d]
With that network, Internet and file sharing worked well for small files, but
when streaming videos off of my server to the wireless clients, things got
choppy at times. So I started my search for a faster wireless solution. This
led me to the local Best Buy where I picked up a D-Link DI-784 Wireless
Router. I chose this router due to the ability of it being able to work with
802.11a/b/g. This would let me set up the network independent on the cards I
used for the wireless network. This router also has full support for WPA
security, which is stronger protection than WEP which also is a plus. Thu, 27 Jan, 2005 | 84 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

A.C.Ryan LAN.Ranger CAT6 Network Cable Review [Review, mikhailtech]
In a nutshell, the LAN.Ranger is a CAT6 cable with silver EMI shielding beneath a clear shell. The cable also happens to be UV-reactive. For those unaware of CAT6, as the name implies it's the 6th generation of twisted pair Ethernet cables. CAT5 is still the predominant type and supports Fast Ethernet (100Mbps). Although it usually contains 4 pairs of twisted copper wire, only two are utilized. CAT5 enhanced (CAT5e) supports short range Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mbps) by using all 4 pairs of wires. CAT6 also supports Gigabit Ethernet like CAT5e, but it allows for communications at twice the speed. Fri, 07 Jan, 2005 | 40 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
D-Link Gigabit Wired/108Mbps Wireless Gaming Network [Review, Bjorn3d]
Several months ago, D-Link approached me about doing a review. The proposal was
for a 'hybrid wired/wireless gaming network' review. I was about to move to a
new apartment, so this was perfect timing. I was growing more and more annoyed
by the router I was using at that time, and I wanted to try wireless in the new
apartment to prevent running cable into the living room for my media PC. Wed, 05 Jan, 2005 | 47 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Edimax Wireless 802.11g Network [Review, Bjorn3d]
Since I have multiple PCs and five family members in the house who all want
access to the Internet, I have to create a small network to accomodate all of
our needs. My past solution for this was running a Home PNA Network. Home PNA
is a network that uses your existing phone wiring for data transfer. It worked
well for me for over five years, but the catch is one of your PCs has to have
the Home PNA NIC and a 10/100 NIC to the cable modem or router. This PC has
always been mine since it remains on almost all the time. The problem with
that is that I am always taking my PC apart for testing and reviews. Needless
to say, the family was getting upset with me when they could not get onto the
Internet. Sat, 06 Nov, 2004 | 56 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

Linksys 10/100 8-Port VPN Router (RV082) [Review, TomsHardware]
The Linksys 10/100 8-Port VPN Router is an extension of the popular Linksys router line, but adds some higher-end features that make it suitable for bigger tasks than just hooking up your home to the Internet.

Linksys WMA11B Review [Review, DesignTechnica]
We really wanted to like this product. We had high hopes for a product that plays both music and images, by the home networking industry leader at a price point of less than $150. We had hoped this would be the product to put networked media devices on the map – it just isn’t the device to do it. There are just too many design flaws and performance issues.

Wireless Networking Basics [Article, DevHardware]
At some point you've probably heard of the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and their standards. A common one you've probably heard of is IEEE 1394, known to the rest of us as FireWire, or the very high speed data link that we use to connect our digital cameras to our computers, and the apparent successor to IEEE 1284, the universal serial bus (USB). The standard we're going to be dealing with is called IEEE 802.11, which is the wireless cousin to IEEE 802.3, wired ethernet. Mon, 08 Dec, 2003 | 109 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

iNexQ 54g Wireless AP and PCMCIA card [Review, Hexus]
The proliferation of the sheer number of home PCs has been extraordinary. Home PCs, up until a few years' ago, were seen as a luxury rather than the present necessity. Now schools and even small libraries have up-to-date PCs connected to the big, bad internet, usually via a speedy broadband connection. Most small businesses now keep their accounts on an electronic format, and they often have a few networked PCs that can communicate via intranets.
