Comment on Wireless routers: Netgear WNDR3300 vs Edimax BR-6574n by Administrator

Is the control panel friendly… interesting question. You sound like you’re not a complete n00b with these kind of devices, so I suspect you’ll have absolutely no problem with it at all. I’ve had a few of these in my time and all I would say about the interface is that they have implemented it in a completely different way to other people… it’s not quite as intuitive as other control panels are, but after 5 minutes of mucking around with it, you’ll be fine. As for options, it’s far better than any other device I have; being able to set static DHCP addresses on the router against a MAC address is something that a lot of routers don’t allow, and it has plenty of options beside that.

I’ll e-mail you the electronic copies of the manuals so you can see what they say about options. Hopefully that’ll answer your NAT question (it’s not something I recall having to do, tbh).

No problems, no. I have an old Netgear WGR614 and it’s getting a bit flaky and I’m looking to upgrade with a new cable router – the Edimax was one of the units that popped up in my searches and seem to fit the bill. Is the control panel pretty friendly? I had to make a few adjustments to the Netgear to get an open NAT on my PS3? Cheers,

I’ve not had any problems with the PS3, or indeed any device on my network (Xbox 360, Windows and Linux PCs). Are you having problems with the PS3 yourself?

Hi there. Nice review. I’m thinking about the Edimax, but was wondering how you were getting on with using it with the PS3?
Many thanks,

My friend, seems, you’ve just been “third time lucky” that is all. Please don’t expect others to be likewise by advising Edimax products. I have bought one (a wireless extended) a month ago and have, after having paid an additional Dhs 75 to the vendor, for configuring the same at home and an agonising one month of several visits by the vendor in Abu Dhabi, had to replace with another equipment, a more POWERFUL router itself (I had asked for Aztech as, Etisalat, our Service Provider , would readily support that, but the vendor “pushed” an Edimax instead – half his shop displays Edmimax products!). This was mid-June’10. It worked alright but guess what? IN a mere 15 DAYS’ time the Internet conked off. A “replacement” under the so called “replacement warranty” will take a MINIMUM 2 weeks I’m told (by which time the fifa world cup would also be over and have to wait for another 4 years!!) Of course the local vendor has also been excellent in the “after sales service”. They have maintained an unblemished track record of not once turning up within even two hours of the committed time and that is, mind you, after several telephone calls reminding, chasing, begging, pleading, imploring…

So “caveat emptor” i.e. Let the Buyers Beware!

Yours truly…Someone who cares for Others!

This was an excellent tip! It’s a good thing you showed up on the first page of google otherwise I would have probably wasted more time than you did figuring it out.

The google search terms I used were “osx ssh server”. Thanks again!

I’m having the same problem with my ipod, but I have nothing else plugged into the laptop to remove. I have checked that all ports work and the cable works. My ipod is also not recognised by the stereo either. It just suddenly stopped working. Any ideas?

I can’t thank you enough for your utterly implausible and absolutely correct solution to my iPod problem. Just unplug my laser and ink jet printer’s USB cables from the back of my old Dell Dimension 4600 and the two iPods I have — one a first generation Shuffle and the other a 2nd generation Nano — would appear just fine in iTunes and sync uneventfully. (And I’d no longer get the Device Not Recognized message and go through the nonsense of uninstalling and reinstalling my USB device drivers, the way Apple suggests.)

Most remarkable (or appalling, depending on how you look at it) is that this problem seems to persist in all iPods (not just your 5th gen iPod but my two entirely different versions; and I might as well add in my old iPod Mini, which, because it was syncable either by USB or by FireWire I’d *always* use FireWire since going the USB route was the same kind of headache) and hasn’t been dispelled by Windows 7, which I upgraded to last fall.

And while I haven’t *scoured* Apple’s iPod support site I’d be willing to bet there’s no mention of your solution because it would be too embarrassing for Apple to admit it might work.

Again, my deepest thanks for ending my iPod suffering.
