what do you think about Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ or Duo. They have some rebates going on too.
--Avi I'm having fairly good luck with my ReadyNAS Duo at work; I did have to do the WD Greenpower trick with them in order to avoid a lot of problems, so I'd recommend getting hard drives off of the ReadyNAS compatibility list. I also installed 1GB of RAM into it instead of the stock 256, which helped with UI responsiveness (nad possibly overall performance. So far (2-3 weeks or so) it's been quite solid. Now, I'm only using it for NFS shares, so your experience may vary. The web interface is kind of clunky, and does tend to be pretty slow. YMMV, LBB, INAL, OMGWTFBBQ.

Ken, sorry to glob on to your thread a bit, but since the Drobo came up: Does anyone have any idea why there are so many bad reviews out there? Is it simply competition writing masked reviews or is the Drobo as unreliable as some of the reviews say?

Well, mine could actually be the DSL modem as well. Can one just purchase one of those off the shelf and reasonably expect it to work? Or do I need to enter AT&T phone tree hell?

Nah, you can use any DSL modem. PM me if you're interested in my old Speedstream. I moved to Comcast Triple Play so I don't use it anymore. You can have it for free.
Hard to go back to 3 Mbps after having 20 Mbps downstream now...

My Belkin N+ works great so far, as CNet promised. Range is not exactly what I hoped, but generally trouble free and ez to work with and secure. Plays nice with 3 laptops, PS3, and my workhorse at the same time. I don't use the network memory function since it allows uninterrupted flow of music and photos from my desktop to the PS3 on opposite ends of the house, but it has the option if you want it.

Belkin, Linksys (Cisco), Netgear and Dlink all have similar, new 11n routers.

Just grabbed a modem off of freecycle, so I'll see if that helps. Maybe update the firmware on the Linksys, too. I still want a new router, though.

Yeah, I doubt you'll find an 11n router on freecycle... Though you never know...
