This weekend I got myself some upgrades for my home network setup. No, I haven’t gotten my tax refund yet (in fact I am hardly getting any). But I just needed some more speed, some more space and some more energy to put it all together. Let me just list out the upgrades I got.
|
1. Airlink101 AGIGA32PCI Gigabit Network Adapter (3) - this is for the more speed part. My 100kbps network was not just cutting it. I am doing daily backups of both my systems, playing videos and music stored on my Home Server from my HTPC. I was getting lags playing videos and long time for backing up. Hence the upgrade. |
 |
| 2. D-Link DGS-2205 Gigabit Switch. Now since I was going to Gigabit speed, I had to upgrade from my 10/100 Mbps router as well. The router is still in place for wireless access but the systems are all connected at Gigabit speed. |
 |
3. Seagate Barracuda 500GB Internal Hard Drive (2) - I just needed this to handle my growing media. And now I am officially above the TB milestone.  |
 |
| 4. Philips Senseo Coffee Maker - This is get me a better start for the mornings as compared to my current Givalia Generic (and Free) Coffee maker. |

I will have everything installed this week and will post more about my experience soon. Stay tuned.
