| 1320882 | 2012-12-31 21:13:00 | I used to have a Network Magic license but just after they stopped selling it - I got a maxed out your number of installments message. Three months of trying to get an answer out of Cisco (world leading bad customer service) and I am no further ahead at legally using Network Magic again. Had a look around for a similar product to replace it but had never found one until this morning (use it for a quick visual check of what is connected to home network) Then in looking at a Netgear Router in a magazine, I noticed they have something called Netgear Genie. (www.netgear.com) This seem to have all many of the features I used in Network Magic, is free and you don't need to have a Netgear Router to use it. I do have a Netgear AP but use the very good Asus RT-N56U (www.asus.co.nz) as my main router. (the latest firmware update for the Asus router looks like a big improvement as well in the network monitoring area). The Netgear Genie is also available for android and iOS Well done to Netgear - they seem to be putting out some good routers as well so next upgrade purchase might well be a Netgear Router. While on the subject of routers - I got a TP Link TL MR3020 (www.tp-link.com) portable travel router, great little product and for about $70 I reckon everyone should have given themselves one for Xmas. |
