As per topic, I have a friend who has an old netcomm wireless modem/router and is looking to either buy a new wireless modem/router or an extender because his xbox doesn't seem to pick up the signal as well in other parts of the house. Other devices seem to catch in the areas teh xbox can't, so realistically it's the xbox that's the problem, but hoping a stronger signal will help treat the symptoms.

application is for streaming mostly, he uses the xbox's as media extenders to his windows 7 MC HTPC.

he's been sold a new netcomm modem (N900) but doesnt want to open it untill he gets some ideas.

I'm thinking a more powerful modem would be ideal because the N900 doesn't get super reviews for it's range, also a newer model will give him higher speeds than the old netcome modem he has currently.

he's not adverse to the extender idea as he gets great range with other devices such as phones and laptops, but as above if one device will give him speed improvements as well might as well do that.

Any ideas? Maybe ones with two antenna's or something?

I've got those plugged in all over the place. They work brilliantly. I've got them in powerboards plugged into double adapters on a remote switch and all the shit you're not meant to do but they still work perfectly. Easier, more reliable and possibly cheaper that a wireless extender.

Probably not (assuming the prices are all each).

Mine are 200Mb on an ADSL2 connection which syncs at ~20Mb. I stream to my Xbox perfectly although don't care for "ZOMGLOOKHOWMANYPIXELSINSUPERHD1080P+" kind of shit. As long as I can see the picture an it looks ok, I'm happy. I play games with stuff all lag.

If you envisage requiring more than 200Mb then maybe.

    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
    • I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk  
    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.
