The search for the ultimate wireless router...

After spending hours doing research i bought the following item to setup a wireless N access point with NAS , off torrent capability:-

1. Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH
2. TP Link 8616 ADSL2+ modem
3. A portable 2.5 USB HDD 360GB

The reason i choose Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH is because it can support DD-WRT custom firmware..

The speed test reveal that my speed has increased!! well i dont know is it because of the custom firmware or the Wireless AP just kick ASS.!!

There is a USB port on the buffalo AP. It can connect to a USB HDD and become a NAS (Network Attached Storage) The downside is it cant support NTFS format..but but you can use Linux FS to support large file size..otherwise if you choose fat32 then there is a file size limitation ..for example cant copy a single file with 20gb in size..

The original firmware which come with the buffalo router is rubbish...flashing it to the dd-wrt firmware make more sense. However i experience strange issue with my Alienware m11x . It can connect to the AP but cant surf internet. My other notebook do not have this issue. I end up reinstalling the wireless card drive and it do the trick.

Currently the firmware i am using is DD-WRT v24-sp2 (05/07/10) std - build 14402

the speedtest.net reveal i have more than 1MB of line but i just subscrive to tmnet 1mb package..

Zishan Z1 firmware Update and Manual

I found out Zishan has released a new firmware for Z1 player. It supports three new playback modes. download here.. The update is simple. All you need is the ZiShan_Z1_0.2.zip and a TF card. I used a 32GB TF card in FAT32 format. 1) Turn off Z1 player; 2) Extract app.bin from ZiShan_Z1_0.2.zip, and put it in the root directory of the TF card; 3) Insert the TF card into the player; 4) Turn on the Z1 player. The LED light will be on for 3 seconds and then blink ultra-fast for around 5 seconds. (Done). 5) Remove the file app.bin in the card. What's new in v0.2: 1) Add 180 EQ settings. (WTF...it's a screen-less player.) 2) Add 3 playback modes: Repeat, Shuffle and Default. (Very useful for me.) 3) Fix a DSD problem. How to choose playback modes: Press 'Prev' for a few seconds until the LED light blinks faster than normal, then release. And: a) Press 'Prev' to choose Repeat track mode. b) Press 'Stop' to choose Shuffle all tracks mode. c)
