| 1296728 | 2012-08-26 22:28:00 | that's the really odd thing about it. I generally find syncing files absolutely perfect using Sync back, it transfers gigabytes worth of files (like last night, I synced all my MLP stuff, tens of thousands of files to search, etc) and it all worked hunky dory. When I use homegroup, it transfers and then goes all 'the network location couldn't be found' for ages, which is a right pain in the backside sometimes. | 8ftmetalhaed (14526) | ||
| 1296729 | 2012-08-26 22:30:00 | I will have to use the Genius because of the voip. I was wondering more about 8ft's mention of "failures of sharing". |

| 1296730 | 2012-08-26 22:37:00 | @8ft, could you clarify the Homegroup situation, please? How is it that you switch from one network scenario to Homegroup?? Are we talking at cross purposes? My network is plain vanilla with no Win 7 Homegroup. |

| 1296731 | 2012-08-27 00:02:00 | Yeah I used to have similar issues, put it down to just "homegroup" and haven't tried it again since shortly after Win7 came out. Easier to just use *real* file sharing... | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1296732 | 2012-08-27 00:09:00 | Yea, can't beat "real file sharing"!! | linw (53) | ||
| 1296733 | 2012-08-27 00:19:00 | ;) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1296734 | 2012-08-27 00:23:00 | The N12U Ive got Chill. I've just changed everything here to wireless (2 computers (in the bedroom), the Xbox in the lounge, and now a Canon wireless printer (in the lounge) using this modem / router (The B1). So far so good. No dropouts from the computers yet. I love it, how I can print to and scan from the printer, wirelessly using this modem / the printer. I think you can also fax wirelessly to the printer (I haven't tried this yet tho). And yup, nothing wrong with normal file sharing. I havent really bothered with Homegroup either. |

| 1296735 | 2012-08-27 00:53:00 | Awesome stuff! :) I've setup two recently for friends and given them a semi-decent beating, so far they hold up well. Still haven't thoroughly tested a few things through them, such as VoIP / VPN etc, but initially they look promising! |
