Came home today to find this box on the dining table. Guess my elder brother got it. Need to set up a vista computer to stream media to this device.

Linksys’s DMA2100 (Media Center Extender)

Check out this space for more pictures of the media center extender!

I chose the DGS-1008D after comparing the specifications and looks of both DGS-1008D and SD2008. Why? My purpose is to extend my network but at the same time get all the possible benefits (power savings, unique features, etc)!

I am running out of connectivity points on my DIR-655! Well, there are only 4 ethernet ports and they are connected to server, workstation, DNS-323 and DNS-313! My IP camera is still lying around. I do have a 24 port rank mount switch but then it is only fast ethernet and takes up a lot of space.

I am now looking at 8 port gigabit ethernet switches from Linksys and D-Link. Wonder which one would be more worthwhile to spend money on. Going to check out their price from Challenger or CyberActive.

Seems like the gigabit switch from D-Link boasts power savings (Green Ethernet)  while Linksys is a normal gigabit switch. Design wise, D-Link’s DGS-1008D looks slightly nicer than Linksys’s SD2008. Must see which one my wallet can afford then. Hope the D-Link one isn’t too expensive!

Gosh, this person must be working for D-Link

This is what people think when they see the NAS, network switch and DGL-4300. Like all consumers, I like to make sure that I spent my money on quality stuffs. After reading reviews, I feel that these equipments are good, hence I got it and blogged about it. Perhaps I should stop sharing the applications I have compiled and keep for my own use.

Gosh, this person must be working for Linksys

With the WRT54G in the category listing plus the fact that I got 2 equipment from the WRT54G family and spend time exploring OpenWRT packages on it doesn’t mean that I am working for Linksys.

Gosh, this person must be working for Nokia

I got the N80 and I just wish to share my findings.

Got a piece of WRT54GS recently. It came with 32mb of ram. 16mb more ram than my current WRT54G! More ram = more stable? Something to be proven. At least, it is more stable for kismet.

Got time then try installing various package on it, first need the samba to be up.
