WRT54G

WRT54GL

WRT54GS

WRT350N

WRT600N

I know the 54 G is awesome... and the GS is supposedly faster... what's the GL?

And I've read so many TERRIBLE reviews on their N series stuff... and my mothers laptop can NOT connect to the 350N setup at their house...

What router would you guys recommend? I do heavy downloading and gaming.

GL was a re-released G since they stopped making the G with Linux installed so you could no longer install alt firmwares. After getting lots of bad press the GL emerged and the world cried with joy.

My GL runs Tomato and has done since purchase. Super stuff.

honestly I like the N router we have at my girl's place. It's the 300N and it's been great. TONS of features in this unit and fantastic reception on wireless. I can actually use it from my parking spot in my car, at least 150 feet away from the apartment, and on the opposite side of the building from our place. It's nice because then I can easily transfer music from my desktop to my hard drive that's hooked up to my stereo in the car.

The 54G (and GL) are great too though. Not really as good feature-wise (definitely flash tomato on if you want some extra features) but they're sturdy. I have them installed in a few small businesses and have 2 hooked up together here at my place (one upstairs one downstairs)

      The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account

      "it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account" You already have a Microsoft account if you are using Windows 11, because you can't set it up without one.
