This modem and router combo features a full-rate ADSL 2/2+ modem, a 4-port Ethernet switch and a dual-antenna wireless-N router in one unit for a wide range of high-speed connection options.
I just bought this last week and it was easy to set up and configure.
I bought this to use it with ATT DSL connection and after struggling to configure the DSL connection part, finally got it working.
Turns out with ATT DSL if you use their modem's then you have to enter your DSL account password and if you use some other router then you have to use the "network password" instead! This knowledge could have saved me a few hours!
All in all a great DSL modem and wireless router for the price!
The stand is flimsy with many cables attached to the ports behind but you could always place it horizontally.
Google Nexus Player Streaming Media Console: Use this streaming media player to complement, or even replace, your traditional set-top cable box. With powerful processing and a wide variety of preloaded apps, you can watch your favorite shows, movies and videos on your HDTV. You can also use the Google Cast app to stream content to your TV from a phone, tablet or laptop.
I have had many streaming players from Western Digital to Roku to Apple TV and umpteen Android boxes from China that run XBMC.
I found the Google Nexus to be a solid device. The fit and finish is top notch. Its made by ASUS for Google and the quality is there to see.
Next i was worried about the glitchy Android platform and how responsive it would be. But to my surprise it is very responsive like Apple TV. The thousands of Apps and voice command feature for searching content for the internet is a plus. The voice command works very well. It recognizes pretty much any thing that you can throw at it and aggregates content based on your search term across Apps, content and media.
Its a fantastic player.
Only gripe is lack of connectivity via a micro USB port. You can always buy a micro USB to USB adapter and connect your external storage.
After having meddled with many streaming players I would highly recommend this one.
Quickly connect your devices with this AirPort Express GCRF MC414LL/A base station that supports dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi for optimal performance with reduced interruptions. The rear USB port enables simple wireless printing.
I already have an Apple Extreme router near my computer. I wanted to extend my internet wirelessly to my entertainment center where I had a multitude of devices that need internet connection.
So I bought it hooked it up and I set it on client mode and voila it worked like a champ and am using its ethernet port connected to a switch so I can share the connection with many devices.
I bought it refurbished and it was as good as new.
Works like a champ! Not sure how it works well with other routers.
But if you have an Apple Extreme router already then this is probably the best extender you can buy!
