When I was looking for a router, then almost everything up to 100baksov, poorly coped with high-quality video on IPTV



Rep: (888)
Nemezis-87,
Because you need to choose not a box, but what's inside ...
I simply do not have an n whistle to check iptv on a laptop, but there are positive reviews on the same trunk ...

Hello everyone, I have access to the Internet through ADSL with PPPoE.
At home there are 2 PCs, 1 laptop, 2 smartphones. Almost always torrents swing from 2 computers at the same time.
Help me choose a separate router and modem separately. For money, I can buy ZyXEL Keenetic, they praise it everywhere .. or is there a better one?
But at the expense of the ADSL modem, I do not know at all what to buy.

Here is a good ADSL Netgear DGN3500-100PES, there is a switch and a hook in it. And nothing else is inappropriate. ;)



Rep: (46)
Nemezis-87,
In my city, it costs about 4k :) And even then, it’s not in stores, only ordered online.
A bunch of modem and router will be cheaper. While looking at TP-Link TL-WR1043ND and ZyXEL Keenetic. Together with the modem no more than 3k should go ..



Rep: (241)
Prankq if the criteria are clearer, then yes. For the two devices are not bad, taking into account the potential of Zuksel.
Both are not hot, cooler D-links. Both in their segment at 5.

Tell me please.
D-link DIR-300 / NRU is now available. But with him there are the following problems:
1) Not reach the other corner of the apartment.
2) If you pull files from a computer (cable) to a laptop (802.11n), then the speed above 2-3 Mb / s does not work. I would like more.
In this regard, the question: what can I buy better?

And a couple more questions:
1) What is the USB port in the router for? (I read that in some D-link only for downloading settings you can use it)
2) Is there an EPSON RX590 printer? It has only one USB. Is it possible to connect it somehow to the router for network printing?

Yes. But there seems to be a nuance with the firmware.

almost all types of devices, screws and so on.

6xx model will be long-range 300. She has better coverage. Look in the direction of netgirs, you can take something from Tsisko but the price is high.

Nemezis-87,
If you choose from D-Link DIR-628 / D-Link DIR-655 / NETGEAR N300 (WNR3500L), what advice?

Rep: (241)
phoenix_ja,
ASUS RT-N56U or NETGEAR N300 (WNR3500L) are both pretty good.



Rep: (10)
And if you still choose from D-Link DIR-655 or NETGEAR N300 (WNR3500L), which is better? The built-in antennas in NETGEAR are in doubt, is there a better signal in the DIR-655? But NETGEAR has more custom firmware ...



Rep: (888)
phoenix_ja,
For a house / apartment there is not much difference what antennas, I have Netgear now generally lying on its side in the nightstand with antennas against the wall, the signal on the laptop did not get any worse ...
Well, at least with custom firmware and power settings, I never sat on my native firmware :)

NETGEAR N300 (WNR3500L), which is better?

He's better. Antenna in many built, I also. In addition, you will not be there to shove super-power antennas, and so irradiated, and then you can forget about the inheritance in general: D
The quality of built-in antennas, enough for 3-5 room apartment.

What is a very specific Wishlist ... 3D throw and no special problems .. The choice is above the roof .. And here for example - Yamaha BD-S1067 ...
Although if the player is on such a chip (SMP8646), then playback of 3D content is possible.
