[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
I'm in need of a new wifi router and I'm doing a bit of research on what to get. This is what I need it for.

Ps3 gaming.

Multiple devices connected at the same time.

Voip.

Media streaming.

Any of these can be happening at the same time. Usually it would either be media streaming and voip or online gaming and voip. Preferably (definitely) under 50$.

Right now I'm looking on amazon since I have a U.S. forwarding address. It's the only site I know that is trustworthy and accepts a CC from down here.

(From the quick search I did, I already saw that I need to shell out 80$+ for what I am asking for. Any good routers that come close to that under 50$ would suffice - my old one is a linksys wrt120n).

Thanks in advance.

Sent from a dream.
[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
All of those things should be doable on virtually any decent modern router; it might just not say so on the box, since it's expected on any decent router. I have found that the difference between $50 and $80 routers is generally features and stability. For features, things like a guest network (2 sets of SSID/passwords, 1 for when guests come over and 1 for actual personal use) and USB storage (lets you plug a USB hard drive straight into the router). For stability, stuff like how strong the connection is and how likely it is to disconnect and need restarting (though this is usually only a big problem on really really cheap routers).

I use the Netgear N300, which I bought about a year ago for $80; now it's $59.99. It's served me well. There are up to 3 computers (2 personal and 1 server/HTPC), 1 tablet, 1 smartphone, 1 PS3, and 1 Xbox360 connected to it at any given time, often with the tablet (and sometimes other devices as well) streaming YouTube videos. The stability (read: speed) at which you can stream media is up to the ISP, not the router. Note that I'm not saying you should buy this exact one; I'm just saying that most routers can handle such loads as what you're describing, including the one I use.
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
That helped me narrow down my search. You are definitely a little box full of surprises and a bundle of Joy. By any chance do you know how to cook? :D

These are my possible choices, any recommendations? - there is one or two with QoS (which I may not need since the usage isn't as heavy as yours {for now}). Oh, in case this is at all useful, my Download speed averages on 3.0 Mbps which seems to translate to the routers supporting 300Mbps over wifi.

Linksys E1200 Wireless-N Router $29.99

D-Link Systems DIR-605L Wireless-N300 Cloud Router $35.99

BUFFALO AirStation HighPower N300 Gigabit Wireless Router WZR-300HP $55.35

Anker Uspeed Dual Band (2.4Ghz & 5Ghz) Wireless-N Router - Supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n Standards $39.99

NETGEAR RangeMax WNR1000 Wireless Router $33.10

NETGEAR Wireless Router - N300 (WNR2000) $29.99

Belkin N300 Wireless N Router (Latest Generation) $39.99

TP-Link TL-WR841ND 300Mbps Wireless N Router $33.12

By any chance does anyone remember which ROMS have internet pass-through (reverse tethering)?

Sense ROMs. All of them I believe ;)

Sent from my MIUI'd DHD
[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
I honestly have no idea which to choose. Netgear, Linksys, and Belkin are all brands that I have had good experiences with. The others, I don't know.

And...I can indeed cook. I spent 6 months at culinary school during my "gap year." I'm just, you know, the all-around perfect woman. :)

And yes, Pass-Through is a Sense feature.
[Desire HD General] Gizmoe:
I personally prefer linksys routers. I have the E2000 myself. It's a little spendy at 100 dollars though. Belkin is good too. They are definitely giving linksys competition.

But I'm in the same position as Tei, the router is failing slowly. Any recommendations under $50 (£50)

Sent from my MIUI'd DHD
[Desire HD General] Teichopsia:
Oh my.......... *speechless*

I'll look into the routers and probably go for the one that looks prettier :p

I first had a belkin which didn't go beyond my room, so I swapped it for the linksys which reaches three floors down and a good 30m or so across the street. Belkins have a good rep but that experience kinda killed it for me, unfortunately.

Mine had that issue where it would lose connectivity, looked up the issue, changed a few settings around which worked.

You could also look into converting your pc/laptop into a ad hoc (don't ask me, I tried fiddling with that yesterday and I have no idea what I did.)

Google best gaming routers and read up on the articles. They will be priced at 80+$, but it would give you a good idea what to search for. After you have narrowed down several routers withing your price range, google the reviews of each one. Once that is done then compare the prices of the ones you choose with online stores and local shops. Cheaper is not always better.

I'm buying through amazon, if anything happens to the item, I'm pretty much stuck since it costs too much to ship it back. However, to ship from the states over here costs me 3$ the pound. The same router on amazon costs about 20-30$ (at least) less. Besides that, amazon has way better return policies than my local shops. There was an item I recieved deffective from them; they returned my money and told me to keep it since the cost to ship it back was going to be more than what the item was sold at. With service like that why would I need to go out shopping? :D

Edit and disclaimer: there are several grammar mistakes, I'll edit them, maybe, later. Or we can pretend I'm yoda :D
[Desire HD General] Gizmoe:
Yeah that's why I always go linksys. Build quality and range are superior. Supposedly Belkin is getting better. Haven't ever used one though.
[Desire HD General] 39FarmallM:
I've only had two routers: a little Belkin G and this N 450. The N will push through my brick house and out about 50 meters. I guess that's good. Not a fanboy just haven't had any other ones to compare. Gave the G to my inlaws. They don't need the range.

I have a question. So how does ignoring work? I have seen the concept of ignoring around the forums and have not yet used it, but I was wondering about it. I don't mean how do you ignore someone using the site; I mean, what are your standards for ignoring people? What if someone else replies to someone you ignored - won't you be missing context? Is it considered rude or mean? Are there any other problems with using it?
[Desire HD General] Gizmoe:
I've never ignored anyone. I imagine if someone knew you where ignoring them it might come off as rude. But if that someone is the one who is actually rude, I see no harm in it. Sometimes there are users who just make your head hurt. If I actually came to that point with someone I wouldn't care what I missed as far as what they post.
[Desire HD General] Youngunn2008:
There's a know it all in the Atrix HD forums who has ignored about everyone who disagrees with him. Myself included. Lol xda can be a lonely place of you ignore everyone.
[Desire HD General] glevitan:
I have just one guy in my ignore list since I became a member. He actually proved to be to ride enough with me to decide not to help him anymore. I guess that some people just deserve being on their own for not following the rules, not showing any respect for the others and above all, for considering that people owns them and answer after they messed their phones.

People just leave that last part out. Follow the fourth paragraph in op. There are additional steps to gaining s off with 3.20.502.52. Its detailed in additional steps link and also on aahk site as well. Its not noob friendly/easy.
[Desire HD General] Gizmoe:
Sorry. But unfortunately there is no easier way with that ROM version. Just tell him to study each step of imparatores guide until he understands the whole process. You basically have to use HTC dev to unlock bootloader to be able to flash an insecure boot image via fast boot. Then re lock the boot loader and use aahk to downgrade. Once downgraded you can run aahk step one to obtain s off and custom recovery.
[Desire HD General] glevitan:
Belive me, reading and learning is the best you or your friend can do. Being a noob will not excuse you from reading and learning. If anyone of us did the job for you, then would probably mess your phone the next time you try to flash or do anything to it.

Take time and be patient enough to read and learn what rooting and flashing your device involves. In this thread you have all the information you need. The starter guide in post #7 and the index to guide you.

If you get stuck, here we are to lend you a hand, but not to do it for you. :good:
[Desire HD General] GuyInTheCorner:
Amen to that.

In response to the original question, using AAHK is relatively foolproof, just follow the guide to the letter and it'll work. Trust me I was nervous when I rooted for the first time but it is easy, just don't be an idiot and read

I can't help much for tablet apps; I use basically the same apps on my phone and my HP Touchpad. More apps than I expected are optimized for both than I expected.

In my Drive folder (linked in my signature) there's an unbloat.zip file. Inside is 2 folders, /system and /META-INF. Nested deep inside /META-INF is a file called updater-script. Right now mine is a bunch of

delete

commands to remove bloat apks. If you want to add apks, remove those commands (keep the mount commands) and add one for

package_extract_dir ("system", "/system")

Then put the apks you want added in the /system folder, inside a nested /app folder (so inside /system/app). Zip the whole thing up and flash. For more commands I like http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/introdution_to_edify.

Would this work? (sorry if I'm bugging you guys, I just want to be sure)
[Desire HD General] bananagranola:
Thanks!

Not bugging at all! You need semicolons, and I'd recommend putting them on different lines for clarity:

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system")[B];[/B]
package_extract_dir ("system/example.apk", "/system")[B];[/B]
ui_print("App Installed")[B];[/B]

Also, don't forget to unmount (not absolutely necessary but good practice):

unmount("/system");

And you could consider using ifelses, so if package_extract_dir fails you can print error messages if it happens to fail:

[B]ifelse[/B](package_extract_dir("system/example.apk", "/system") [B]== 1[/B], ui_print("App Installed"), [B]ui_print("App Install Error")[/B]);

And I feel you on exams. I'm on XDA a lot this week when I want a break from studying. :P
