    Need NAS Advice

    I have a Drobo, it's nice and has been working non-stop the last few years. I feel like I wasted a lot of money on it for what I got tho. Transfers are very slow and the administrative interface is very lacking - I never know what's going on with it if it has a fault or wont boot.

    VOIP providers, educate me

    Most people use cordless phones which also do not function when the power is cut. For those customers the line is not usable because they dont have a wired phone or must people neglect to realize the issue is with the cordless and don't check the old wired phone in the basement. Cable based...

    FreeNAS shares not accessable

    Windows seems to be weird getting shares to work sometimes, try a non-passworded one to make sure the connectivity works and then make sure your computers domain matchs that of the NAS IE "WORKGROUP". Also, make sure your computer is set to "private network" or that network discovery is turned...

    Fibre optic availablity in Ontario

    Third parties can be installed apparently - tho I haven't actually seen any proof of that. From what I've heard no money was spent by the government to help Bell/Rogers/Cogeco do new roll outs so none of them are obligated to share the fiber optic like they had to with copper. RE: 1996...

    ip phones?

    I use voip.ms aswell, cisco/linksys spa112 for most lines (going to a PBX) but also have a few SIP phones. Android also has a build in sip client so you can use it on your cell phone/tablet - tho my experience with Telus is that calls over data have a lot of latency I'm not sure if there is...

    Two APs, same SSID

    louder? I haven't seen any complains on the dev forum. It should be silent AFAIK its passively cooled, i'll have to investigate. Let me know if you have any issues.

    Fibre optic availablity in Ontario

    I get that its marketing that's bugging you now. And as much as "we" know most of this, people with 5 tool bars and three fake anti virus programs running in the background blame their "shitty isp" router for why their internet is slow. So its easy for people to get convinced to switch from a...

    Fibre optic availablity in Ontario

    Perineum: There is a difference between FTTN or FTTH. When most company's talk about a their fiber network they are talking about "using fiber in the network" and not actually to the premise. This would be true to literally almost every communication company, broadcast company, cable company as...

    Two APs, same SSID

    OP: yes that is best solution given the circumstances, with out redoing a lot of work for negligible improvements. The best option is to have one router in the middle of the house doing all the wifi. Adding more networks with different SSID's wont help unless you have practically zero...

    Not all new areas. Most yes, and some old areas are being retrofitted.

    How do I do this? Maybe odd networking scheme...

    I think you misread. Or I did. Connect PC to wireless network, in "network and sharing center" bridge the wireless and lan controller. Connect the PC to the NAS via a crossover cable and everything should work, if you don't have a cross over try with out - if still doesn't work use two regular...

    ORIGINAL windows 7 release and updating issues

    I haven't checked the actual voltages leaving the PSU but its a new corsair cx500 running off a APC ups. I have installed windows 8.1 now. This appears not an OS related issue, must be motherboard/ram. But I found the work around if anyone appears to be having this issue. Issue seems to be...

    Ethernet cable include phone?

    phone will work just fine over the cable and be clear, networking might have a small issue only visible if streaming UDP data such as IPTV (jadoo tv/etc) but since those services only require a small amount of data It should be reliable. Tho the max throughput would be limited to a 10/100mbps...

    Is there anything special in a modem?

    Reliability is dependant on many factors not the underlying technologies. Cable and xDSL both have advantages and disadvantages. Best to talk to people locally who have the service if you want to have a quantitative answer. Street to street you can have extremely different quality levels.

    ORIGINAL windows 7 release and updating issues

    Way back when windows 7 was launched I was sent a copy of Unlimited. It wasn't a pre-release per-say but certainly not the same one you go out and buy now, I wouldn't be surprised if slightly modified version of a OEM release but certainly not a production release. Issues seem to arise...

    Coaxial connectors

    Wiring New House. Need Network Advice.

    I have not seen Ericsson/Microsoft's Mediaroom preform as stable behind any equipment. Of course it will work and likely be very stable, but I would not recommend it. Also, typo'd there, meant to write 2502. However there they name it the ISB7005 there. (refering to the wireless receiver)

    VOIP providers, educate me

    I use voip.ms with little to no hesitation I would recommend it. HOWEVER. I have already had a SPA112 die on me due to internal issues - not software. I also use a nortel 1120e with avaya firmware and haven't had an issue, and on android use the integrated sip protocol which seems to be more...

    Wiring New House. Need Network Advice.

    I wouldn't run your IPTV off a switch that has other traffic, (even if they're on separate vLAN) however if your going to be running wire I would suggest wiring your 2505 and not using the WAP. (or getting them swapped for 2202) That will free up the 5GHZ band for wireless N and AC. Depending...
