Picked up a qnap umm tk251 over the weekend putting in 6TB of storage(2TB installed ATM) for my media server, running plex and am burning all my DVD's and blurays to mkv format. I am using a combo of anydvdhd and
handbrake--- anydvd to remove the protection handbrake to make the mkv. Figuring ~750meg per DVD and 2gig per bluray average , I figure I will get all my DVD's and blurays installed and have about 3TB left. Running over WiFi my initial test movie(DVD) played essentially perfectly via plex media server and plex android app. About to test a bluray burn now before bed(I will play about 20 minutes)
Yea, lowest quality 1080p BR copies you see on torrents are around 8GB. Add in DTS-MA quality audio and it goes up quite a bit....
2. What the fuck are you talking about ? Ripping bluerays @ 2gb ??

What's your price range and what type of devices you connecting. You can get a wireless AC router but if you only have wireless N equipment, the extra speed will go to waste.So I'm pretty dumb about networking stuff, but using my brother's airport extreme is making me realize that my router (Netgear POS that my ISP provided because my old DIR-655 used the same IP address as the modem) sucks. What is the best bang for your buck router out now? I am particularly concerned with maximizing range and I don't need to tinker with shit much.
Can third this. I have aNetgear GS116NAand it has been perfect.Yeah for desktop non managed switches Netgear is the way to go.
combo routers/modems usually suck donkey dick. Like wow pvp.Looking for a Wifi Router (preferably with built in Modem) that has a very powerful signal. I would love for it to have 6+ Ethernet plugins. Currently renting the Xfinity,pretty sure this is it right here, and it sucks. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Budget is $300-$500 willing to go a little more if it will really meet all my needs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
