On a personal note.

Before I buy any tech hardware of anything over R1500 I do my research on various websites, especially user reviews.
If I am not able to get my questions answered I come here and ask questions of the respected members.
If I am still not satisfied I wont buy the relevant item and buy something that I am 100% sure will satisfy my needs.


You and me both. When I buy something (esp of a hi-tech/electronic nature) I usually scour the web for the user manual and read that first - to avoid surprises down the line. Also, this way you can rip that box apart as soon as you get it and dive right in, having already familiarised yourself with the guide.

Just another reason I won't buy anything from Esquire...

Good to see this is back.

Not sure when MyBB started deleting threads and the request of the OP. Lock sure, especially when things are going south. But delete? Anyway, it's back, so yay.

Same thing happened with my thread when I complained(however it wasn't me that asked for it to be deleted)
Oh well moving on......

This has got to be the most unprofessional response I think I have to date encountered from an official representative of a company on a public forum.

You don't even know the half of it. A few months ago a customer was having issues with a PC and the Esquire rep mocked him on the forum for being homosexual. The Esquire guys are scum of the lowest order.

We should have a sticky thread that catalogues these kinds of incidents, but RPM probably wouldn't allow it due to the fact that they're dependent on clowns like these for advertising money.

I would just like to say one little thing:

You can stream 1080P videos (Blu-ray quality) over WiFI. I have a Netgear DGN2200v4 and I regularly (as in EVERY NIGHT) stream HD content from my media server to my personal machine. This is all over 802.11n 2.4GHz.

What alot of people do not realise is that if you have a 802.11g device on your 802.11n network - it bogs the whole network down- in my experience.

Also- the more devices on the wireless network=slower throughput.
Changing channels on the router will also help, expecially if you have other wireless devices in the premises. Such as wireless phones etc.

When an 802.11g device is connected to the network the entire network is switched to 802.11g. That's why if you have 802.11 devices its best to have a dual band network and to move the 802.11n devices to the 5GHz range.

Since you're on the path of learning now, the prefix M refers to "Mega" in computer language. "m" usually refers to "milli", which is a bit smaller. :p

That is not computer language, that is metric notation. Also milli is quite a few orders of magnitude smaller than mega.

Can't find that thread. MyBB must have 'lost' it.

Getting tired of these Mods being a problem. For the most part, they are fine. But it irks me when they do not even comment on why they do things. Last time I checked, this was not a dictatorship.

Mods on this forum are like refs in soccer.

Quietly covering up the fact that this is related to Esquire?
