Hey to let you know I order 2 of these monitors last week and they arrived Sat. Both in outstanding new refurbished condition and work wonderful. Funny out they covered up the HP logo in back and replaced the HP sticker in front. Oh well, nice monitor for $125 shipped.

Thank you Karl, YOU ARE THE MAN!!!


 

I wouldn't steer you wrong, Rob!  I have one set up for my son to game on.  It's been a great monitor.

BTW, I couldn't resist and bought another of the 4500's from that TigerDirect/CompUSA deal I posted earlier.  It's too good a deal for a new router.   

Harry, do tell.  What's up with HP and support?

[FurryNutz]

I know, I'm almost temped to get another just for on hand stock LOL. Still have 2 LOL. Might hand off the 657 to a buddy of mine who needs a better router for his boxee.

I know how you guess feel. I bought a DPC3010 modem just for kicks. Trying to figure out how to get access to the logs

[FurryNutz]

Im going to get one tomorrow if they still have some..ya, 88 bucks for a new 4500. Can't turn it down.

[kargo27]

I couldn't blame you if you did (pass the 657 on).

I just realized that I think we only have 1 wireless client that uses 5GHz.  My wife's notebook and it uses both bands.  Everything else is 2.4GHz.

[FurryNutz]

I'm going to test out my boxee on both bands and see how well it works. Did pretty good yesterday on box playing MW2. Still not impressed with having to reboot the router after every change.

It ran well for me but just not on par with the 4500 or the E4200.  I never had to reboot.   

On another note, I have a wireless N USB ($10) from Airlink and with my 4500 it connects at 135mbps but with my E4200 it only connects at 72mbps.  Why do you suppose?  Both are stable but why is the E4200 about half of what the 4500 connects?

Harry,  I would do something like that.  Right now, I have 3 different routers that I swap out every so often.  A Linksys E2000 I picked up for $37 shipped, my 4500 of course, and a Linksys E4200 I got from the Cisco/Linksys Homestore refurbed.  They're all great.  I definitely have backup in case one goes out!

Maybe something in the configuration possible? Odd that it works on the 4500 and not the e4200.

It's a 150mbps adapter, and both times I was 10 feet from the routers and with an unobstructed view.  Who knows.  I wouldn't know what to look for in the configuration to fix it, LOL!

Where's Harry, LIME and JavaLawyer?  Out at the bar?

[Hard Harry]

Well Harry is sick in bed mostly. Only reason I am posting her is because I think I have addiction. LOL.

Where's Harry, LIME and JavaLawyer?  Out at the bar?

Took a long weekend. Now back to the grind. . .

[kargo27]

Hope you feel better, Harry!  If it's a cold, I swear by Zicam or the generic equivalent.  It works for me every time but better if you catch it on onset.  Still, it will reduce the duration if you take it as directed.

Java, were you on a mini vacation?

[JavaLawyer]

A vacation of sorts. . .
Now, back to reality (although calling this forum "reality" is an oxymoron)
