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.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
