    Need new router with USB port with budget up to ₹4,000

    Hope you bought TP-Link 723N on paytm with the 300 discount coupon (fp300) for new users. And I am really sorry, as I can't suggest you anything on the adsl side. I never buy adsl routers and I always suggest buying a cheaper used modem on olx or quikr. Now that you have something on your mind...

    Need help buying Network Cloud External Drive

    If all your systems are on the same LAN you can easily setup a NAS using rasperry pi (choose NFS over samba file system). If the files are large and in case you require a huge storage capacity I would suggest something like a banana pi with sata ports to connect upto 2tb of laptop hard drives. I...

    Need new router with USB port with budget up to ₹4,000

    Yes check the signal and range by playing youtube content. Once you get some idea abt those stuff you can always choose the best and cheapest router solution. Just but a router with USB on amazon and then you know what to do. My suggestion would be not to go for an overkill when we buy a...

    Need new router with USB port with budget up to ₹4,000

    Don't be offended please for my suggestion and please ignore if you feel it makes no sense. But if I can make a suggestion, please wait till you shift to the new place and test it out with your current devices. After that you can order the router you want and set it up within a week. I guess you...

    Need new router with USB port with budget up to ₹4,000

    I believe you would connect the android dongle to your TV through HDMI and you would want to stream movies stored on your external hard disk by connecting it to a USB port on the router. Your android box will perform pretty well and will process anything you throw at it, but your router most...

    Need new router with USB port with budget up to ₹4,000

    Yes you can definitely use this router as a repeater with dd-wrt (not sure if the device firmware support bridge option) If you directly connect your hard disk to your MK808B why do you need a router?

    HD streaming Router with 5dbi Antenna & a USB port

    Yeah you are right, mostly we download max 4gb movies with all these FUPs. But I use my Bpi as a 24X7 torrent server too and downloading so many torrents to a solid state device read usb devices scares me. I use a cheap 160gb sata 2 disk and have nothing to lose if the disk fails, anyway it only...

    HD streaming Router with 5dbi Antenna & a USB port

    Yes I agree with what superczar has to say. Over time it will surely degrade the router performance too. Let me tell you my experience with a pogoplug which just has 128mb of ram (most mid level routers have 128mb ram, I might be wrong here). It has a sata port and with a sata 3 ssd connected...

    HD streaming Router with 5dbi Antenna & a USB port

    Sorry, I don't have any previous experiences of buying an asus router. Moreover an asus router within your budget having a usb port may not have a good range. Maybe someone using an asus router might help you better. Presently I am using an archer c7 with a linksys e900 as wifi bridge and 4...

    Adsl Router with USB and good range, between 1- 3.5k

    Why do you so much want to buy a router + inbuilt modem? Buy a cheaper modem (maybe use the old modem?) without wifi and buy a good router. Use the router (plus a switch if you require more wired connections) for your home networking. In India we anyway don't have high speeds, so a cheaper modem...

    HD streaming Router with 5dbi Antenna & a USB port

    Your netgear router might be getting old, so your idea of buying a new router is well founded. Did you mean that the problem has started recently and the same setup used to work fine before? In that case just check the latency immediately after restarting the router once and again after 5-6 hrs...

    HD streaming Router with 5dbi Antenna & a USB port

    Before you decide to buy a mid size router consider the following options If your requirement is to only play movie over wifi from a HDD, why not buy a 128GB pen drive load your movies and leave it on the USB port of tv? If you already have a decent wifi router, I would suggest you to a buy a...

    I use 4 of these and I get good throughput, but they tend to be costlier. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IBPLI48/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER You can also install another pvc pipe with smaller diameter inside the main pipe. Also make sure the electrician leaves an...
