AirPort Extreme hands down. I've had netgear, links us etc and its hands down the best performer I've ever had.

 

Apple was one of the first to go big on WiFi, most people don't know that. The Airport Extreme is a very good router, as are quite a few others...the only drawback to the Airport is having to reboot it when making changes, and I find this a huge negative to an otherwise well made product.

 

I'm not a big fan of Netgear these days, at all...but most any wireless router, if configured properly, will work well. The newer Linksys are also very good (Cisco).

 

Big thing is knowing what channels to use, and every house is different. For Wireless G, you should use channels 1, 6 or 11 -- they're the only 3 that don't overlap with other technologies -- and depending on your specific home/location, one of those three will be superior and give better speeds/coverage.

 

Also, anything less than WPA2/AES is unacceptable and quite easily crackable.

I expect Y2HH to spend the next 4 days trying to recreate everything in that video to disprove it. He'll even wear the batman outfit.

That video is completely inaccurate, Apple would never guide you into a Mall!

I don't disprove parody/comedy, that would mean I missed the point of it. I do disprove bulls*** posted and accepted by many of you as fact, though, and I'll continue to do so.

 

And the video was pretty funny.

The Hunger Games one was funnier

Got an email bout my iphone finally being shipped. Are my contacts in my iCloud or will I have to copy those over?

Holy Crap, how had I missed out on Google Play before? Total awesomeness if you want to be able to access your music, but don't want to download it on to a player. It will even import from your ITunes, including all of your playlists. Google you have done it again!

They should be, unless you disabled that in your icloud options.

That's Google's App store...not sure how you missed it's existence for so long.

It is also what they call their music player.

That app is labeled "Play Music" in my app drawer FWIW.

Anyways regardless of title, it is a great toy. I can use it anywhere I can log on to google (PC, laptop, app) without needing to download the songs on to each unit I want to listen to music on. No synching or any of that other crap either. One download of a song makes it available across all platforms.

I am struggling with this as I bought a book on a tablet but then thought I could call it up on phone but could not.

 

Very cool none the less.

That is pretty sweet, although I'm sure you'll need internet access to accomplish that, so it's not practical in EVERY situation.

You do need internet access.

So it seems like external sd cards are having trouble in SGIII phones.

 

Ive tried to 32gb class 10 and neither have worked. Ill update if I figure out the issue.

Make sure they're not formatted as NTFS.

Does the fact that it's an SDHC change anything? I know some devices can only read SDs, not SDHCs.

Comcast needs to start stepping up their internet game! I get steady 25mbps on my iPhone 5, thats much faster than what I get for my home internet, sheesh!

You can get faster than that from Comcast, just have to pay for it. Comcast has a 50mbit and a 100mbit package you can buy.

Yeah thats what i meant, the cheapest tier needs to be of a higher bandwidth now i think. I never thought id see the day when i would rather surf the web on my phone than on my Pornbook Pro at home.

There will be a day when wired technology of any kind is something people have never heard of.

 

Every computing device in my entire house has been wireless for years now, from the XBOX, to Computers, to Phones, to tablets, to televisions...

 

The only thing still wired is my surround system.

You have wireless television and XBOX? And all your devices sync wirelessly? That's pretty impressive.

I don't mean wireless for audio transmission or power -- I don't like wireless speakers ... yet ... and wireless power technology doesn't exist yet in most instances, I meant for internet access/syncing. No internet devices are wired in my house. The rest of it doesn't exist yet, so I don't have it...yet.
