Thanks for the link USAFRet. When choosing the actual drives that go into the NAS, or the USB backup drive, is there any special consideration that should be made? Or are most drives on the market going to be fine? I like that you unplug the USB drive except for the period where it backs up...

Looked a bit at Synology just now. It seems to be overkill for my needs, especially in terms of price. I am mainly looking for long term storage that isn't cloud.

Types of data will be primarily large video files (500MB-1GB), and pictures. A small amount of small docs/files as well. The transfer process will likely be manual. If I set up any backups or redundancy then that would be automated. Haha yeah I know the lifespan of drives these days won't...

Hello, I am hoping to get some suggestions for long-term home network storage. I currently have a LinkSys WRT1900 AC router with an unused USB 3.0 port and an unused USB/esata port. This is my general use case: -Transfer up to 100 GB to this drive every 6 months. This amount is...

That's a bit sad. I've spent probably 600+ hours between Oblivion and Skyrim (which I bought day 1 btw). Such an immersive experience (before you completely learn the system and become a god). When I saw talk of ESO, I thought.."Wait, what? There is no way to make an Oblivion or...

Yes, I realized only after my purchase that I have no 5 Ghz or AC devices currently. But I'm loving the router so far (much better than my WRT54G) and at least now I know what to look for when I purchase my next Device! Thanks for the tips!

Thanks Abailey! I'll switch my channel to 1 or 11 when I get home and see if I see a difference (And I am picking up like 10 other networks on my wireless, so I am guessing interference could be an issue). My solution will probably be to set up a "drop folder" syncing service to sync the files...

Hi Abailey, I purchased the Linksys WRT1900AC last night, and it is pretty great as far as coverage, signal, and internet speed are concerned. I would like to ask you a question though: Right now, my current devices are limited to 2.4 Ghz wireless N. With my 2.4 Ghz Wireless N connection...

Thanks Sighbot. I bought the WRT1900AC last night. The coverage and internet are great. No complaints there. MY intranet file transfer speeds are limited by 2.4GHz wireless N (what my wireless devices can handle), and I am getting 2 to 5 MBytes/s. I was really hoping to get 30+ MB/s over...

I re-enabled homegroup and still get 4 MB/s in same room as router. From what I am reading, I think getting 4-5 MB/s is pretty common for a 2.4GHz wireless n connection, correct (from wired PC to wireless laptop)? I was really hoping to be able to transfer large files (300MB+) on a regular...

Maybe I am expecting too much from Wireless N

Hello Iam2theCrow, I tried disabling homegroup because I heard that could cause some problems. When I disable homegroup on both computers, and if I move my laptop into the same room as the router, I can get speeds up to 4 MB per second. This is an improvement, but still about only 10% of the...

Hi, I just installed my Linksys WRT1900AC router, and it works great in terms of coverage and device internet speed. However, I am getting extremely slow Device to Device transfers over the wireless network. For instance when I transfer a 300 MB file from my gaming PC (Ethernet connected to...

Sighbot, I'm thinking of picking up the WRT1900AC tonight. How have you liked it? Does it broadcast to multiple floors in your house without issue?

And please, if anybody else has an opinion, weigh in ASAP. I am strongly considering going to best buy to pick up a router tonight!
