This would be a perfect fit for a Christmas gift gaming PC I'm building

Average 5 GHz Downlink and Uplink Throughput charts both have the Asus RT-N56U in the lead, even besting other three-stream (450Mbps) routers. In the 40MHz bandwidth mode charts, it remains on top for uplink speed and is #2 for downlink, second to the Netgear WNDR4000. The best price I can...

You need a pretty good signal to get 300Mbps. MAC filtering is not security as it can be spoofed easily. Also, if your G devices are actively communicating with the router, it will reduce the speed of any N devices connected to the same radio since some N features have to be disabled in order...

Aren't the E2000's known for getting hot or was that just the E3000's? You might not want to set the router on that computer if the computer is letting any heat out the top up into the router.

They probably just rent in bulk from TWC / Frontier at a discount then sell to customers.

Your graphics card has two DVI outputs. Try plugging your monitor in to the other one.

Don't try to test your wireless network's speed by downloading from the internet, there are way too many potential bottlenecks. Transfer something locally.

Why do you say that your linksys router is dead? I ask this because I have helped a few people fix their router after they thought it was dead by simply resetting it and configuring it again.

Not all 802.11n devices support 5 GHz. No 802.11b/g devices support 5GHz. If you're using the built-in wireless on an XBox 360 slim, it only supports 2.4GHz.

Asus PCE-N15 - $35 TP-Link TL-WN951N - $30-$32

You want to configure the router as an access point by disabling its DHCP server. Also, nothing should be plugged into the rotuer's WAN/Internet port, but into one of its LAN ports instead as serpretetsky said. This is done on the Basic Setup page by switching the "DHCP Server" radio button...

Maybe the LED is showing activity?

Rosewill has never sold a PCIe WiFi card with three antennas so you probably have a PCI card. What is the model number of your card? If it's the RNX-N300X, go download the latest drivers from Ralink for the RT2860 and see if that helps. Three antennas are pointless on a two-stream device...

You don't need a separate AP device. Since you've already configured your DD-WRT'd WRT54GL as a Client Bridge, there are just a few additional steps to turn it into a Repeater Bridge to re-broadcast a wireless signal. Bandwidth is reduced by about half as a result of sharing one radio for two...

Bridges require a power outlet nearby.

No adapter should drop connections. If you have connection problems, it may be caused by any component of your network or it may even be caused by things that are out of your control like your neighbor's cordless phone or a microwave. Encore ENEWI-2XN42 - $20 Shipped If you need a...

The desktop's WiFi card might be "drowning out" the signal to and from the AE2500. Does the AE2500 work when the desktop is turned off?

Yep, if the steps are the same as for the RT-N16, you do as Mopower said. You can try it in the dummy ui here: http://event.asus.com/2009/networks/dummy_ui/rt-n16/

No, it's designed for dual-core.

Why would you buy an E4200, then not get something that is also three-stream?

You don't need anything that expensive. Get this: ENCORE ENUWI-2XN42 - $15 Shipped. If your router supports 300Mbps, then you should get an adapter that supports 300Mbps. 150Mbps with a single stream device and 300Mbps with a two-stream device requires you to use two wireless channels which...

Put it in a trunk sealed off from parts that are in the sun.

No, it's not all about the chipset. Wireless networks rely on bi-directional communication. For long distance connections, both sides benefit from having high-powered transmission, but also should have improved receiver sensitivity. I would go for a directional one like this: POWERLINK...

Look at the stickers on the bottom of the laptop, you should see one for this Atheros card displaying its FCC ID. Please post that here. Since it was advertised as "b/g/n" it will only support 2.4GHz networks, not 5GHz. In other words, it is a single band device. It is a one-stream device...

How many GPUs do you have? Both PCIe x1 slots are blocked? What's in the second PCIe x16 slot? You can put a PCIe x1 card in a PCIe x16 slot.

Try getting the latest drivers from Ralink for the "PCI/mPCI/CB (RT256x/RT266x)" I would get this ENCORE ENUWI-2XN42 for $13.99 with Free Shipping. It's 2T2R (300Mbps) 802.11n and has decent antennas. You can use a USB extension cable to place it wherever you get the best signal nearby. A USB...

Encore ENHWI-2AN3 - $27 Shipped. This router can be configured as a non-WDS repeater with its stock firmware. Chiefvalue is an alternate storefront for newegg. They share the same parent company.

No, more antennas do not necessarily mean you'll get a better signal. Bigger antennas often mean you'll get a better signal though. You only need 1 antenna for G or 150Mbps N, 2 antennas for 300Mbps N, or 3 antennas for 450Mbps N. Putting 3 antennas on a 300Mbps product is not helpful. What...

MAC filtering is not good protection. How old is your wife's laptop? Is it running Windows XP? What is the wireless card in the laptop? You can usually find this information on a sticker on the bottom of the laptop or you might be able to find out in Device Manager. Windows XP requires an...

I'm seeing the Hitachi at $65 and the Samsung at $50 AC. I would go for the cheapest $/GB

EIST/SpeedStep are features of the CPU. When you overclock the CPU, you explicitly define its clock speed. This might have disabled EIST. Bottom line is don't worry about it.

Don't disable the feature, just run something to put load on the CPU. If you're testing an overclock, chances are you're using Prime95 anyways.
