How is the Dlink cloud stuff or just stay away ? haha I like the Normal Router GUI

[FurryNutz]

Its a nice feature, you can manage your router from the cloud if you enable it and can access connected USB storage device as well, when enabled. Doesn't have to be. Nice feature though. Simple stuff.

so price went down over night by 10 So im chatting with amazon now to either get the Monday shipping for free or get the 10 refunded

[hyelton]

So they weren't able to refund a credit but she did add $10 for my next Amazon shipped Purchase:D Since Ive used Amazon Alot  I wish I could had cancelled the order and got Monday Shipping for that extra $10 but they said it already been shipped out:(

[FurryNutz]

Don't you hate that. LOL. Seen that on New Egg too sometimes. 

[hyelton]

NewEgg Is HARD to budge thats were I bought my 825 and it took awhile but I got my $20 difference back not to sound cheap but that Extra $10 will be something I use to something else, Just spent $350 on amazon today on a laptop for my mom, She has such bad luck haha. She doesnt need something as powerful like me

Just got a text stating my D-Link  Router as shipped!:D it could come monday depends where its coming from haha but most likely tuesday.

So Should I set up my network with my main computers mostly on the GB Switch? and maybe use another Switch for Lower traffic things?

Like GB switch in Port 1 of the Router and my main devices

Then my 10/100 switch in port 2 with the "Other Things"

Would that work Good? or better than How I used to do things?

I used to wire the first 3 ports of the router to my main devices then the 4th port would go to a switch and go to the "other" devices

[FurryNutz]

Can do that as well. Adding switches to routers can be flexible. Just kind of depends on where you highest band width traffic is on the LAN side between devices.

Yes need to use some switches and get your LAN side hogging xfers off the router and more directly connected between them instead.

[hyelton]

The GB switch would have 3 Computers, Laptop(Which Does Torrenting)Server(Sometimes Torrenting on it) and Media PC which is where all the High Lan Transfers happen and the most Internet BW happens.  Then Put the rest on port 2 through a 10/100 switch.

[FurryNutz]

Looks good.

Updated my 826L review sticky.

[hyelton]

Whats the True Gigabit option?

[hyelton]

As long as the D-link works Great the ONLY I mean ONLY thing I`m going to miss is to able to see what Bandwidth is going on through the router Like I could with DD-WRT or ASUS Routers, Thats the only Thing I know that I am going to miss.
