Use and Upgrade



From Bradley Mitchell, your Guide to Computer Networking
You or your family may be considering purchasing a new home network router to upgrade from an older one. Or perhaps you have a very large home network already and are wondering whether a second router can improve performance. It is technically possible to utilize two routers on the same home network?

Two Routers on One Home Network
The answer, of course, is Yes. Many of our readers have posted their own reasons why people use two routers for home networking. Whatever your motivation, there are several steps you need to follow to get this to work.

Classified U.S. Network Breach a Lesson to Others
The "most significant breach of U.S. military computers ever" occurred in 2008, according to Deputy Secretary of Defense William J. Lynn. Was it a well-coordinated cyberattack that penetrated the Pentagon's network defenses? Not exactly.

The World's First 802.11n 8-Port Router
With our homes (mostly) going wireless, one new product you may not have expected to see is a broadband router with expanded cabling capability. Yet the D-Link DIR-632 is exactly that.

READERS RESPOND: How Wireless Affects Your Health
Some people speculate that prolonged exposure to wireless network devices can cause memory loss or other brain damage. A few schools have even banned use of Wi-Fi networking due to health concerns. Scientific studies, however, have been inconclusive. One thing is for certain: Many people have strong opinions on both sides. What do you think? Here's your chance to share.

Cloud storage lives up to the hype
We tested five cloud-based storage services under real-world conditions. We set up accounts, connected with the vendor storage network, uploaded and downloaded files, measured performance and analyzed cost structures. Our conclusions are that cloud-based storage can save you money. And cloud-based storage can be fast. However, there are still security concerns that you need to be aware of.

Smart Modular, NVELO launch solid state products
Micron briefed us on their 'Enterprise Multi-Level Cell' Flash products earlier this year, and Smart Modular is the first to market with a 3Gbps Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) SSD with the E-MLC Flash modules. The E-MLC is based on 34nm lithography and has two-bits per cell. Micron is a little cagey about whether the modules are produced with a modified foundry process and/or are cherry-picked off the wafer. Read More
