Meng just said it apparently is supposed to have a third power cable for the US. I am guessing it is sitting wherever they installed the testing HDD and didn't make it back in the box.

Lol. I hope mine doesn't arrive like yours. But I've got spare c13-c14 cables so it shouldn't be a problem.
I haven't heard anything from Meng at all

Same here. No emails since January.

Got the RN2120 rackmount NAS in today. Testing has proven difficult so far.
Same here, oops!
How many disks and what capacity did they ship with those RN2120s?

2x 1Tb
My RN2120 came with 3 power cords.
Showoff.
Meng overnighted a powercord yesterday and it got here this morning. Not a bad NAS, but NETGEAR still can't do SSL certificates right, even in what is supposed to be their business class NAS solutions.
Honestly I cannot tell much of a difference between the RN104, RN314 and the RN2120 other than form factor and some very minor spec differences. They all have the same functionality (and same OS) at the end of the day.

MONEY SON!
just got a confirmation email that I've been selected for the power line adapter.
First product since the readyNAS from a couple of months ago- I'm pumped!

Yessir!
Got a confirmation for the powerline adapters too. I hope they're better than that terrible N300 router i got a while back..
DENIED
I still haven't heard anything since Marynel left. Oh well, at least I got a few cool products.
Travis,
Regarding this Powerline adaptor that is being shipped, can you please seek or provide clarity on why Netgear advertises it supporting 500 Mbps, while the Ethernet port on the device maxes out at 100 Mbps. If the Ethernet port doesn't go beyond 100 Mbps, I don't see how anything related to this device is even theoretically possible of transmitting at 500 Mbps. Seems a little like false advertising to me. Thanks.

quote:Obviously it can't. Just like the NETGEAR PL1200 says speeds up to 1200Mbps but it has a gigabit port. It can't achieve those speeds. I, like you, am not sure how they get away with that. My guess is that is the theoretical maximum bandwidth between the adapters themselves.

I would assume that it can communicate at 500Mbps over the line between the 2 Powerline devices (in a lab environment?) Which is still pointless if it's only taking in the data at 100Mbps. Still kind of shady, but I also only get about 24Mbps down right now...
Damn. Good catch on the 10/100. I wasn't planning on it maxing out my connection, but was hoping for a bit more. Not that it will really matter for what I'll be using it for.

I just got my first email since she left. I too had given up hope.
I'm not in the program but my N900 is giving me hell right now!
I'm buying the R7000 right now. My house has too many devices!
It would be nice to get that R8000. That thing looks like a beast!

They're quick! My power line adapters were waiting at my door when I went home for lunch.
Just got mine as well. Can't wait to test it!
MY R7000 is having some pretty big issues. I've been testing it for a week or so, and its been having some pretty big lag spikes about every five minutes. I need to talk to customer service about it, but ive been trying to figure it out on my own. Finally put my comcast modem back on today and lag spikes are gone, so I know its the R7000 having issues.

OP, I just wanted to say thank you again for bringing this too us. I've gotten to try some awesome products I may never have used otherwise. So far almost everything has been perfect. The only product I had any trouble with was the ProSafe VPN firewall a few months back.
Sorry about the VPN. We have some R&D going on on that side of our house, so I'm hoping that 2016 will be the year that we up our game with the business products.

Geez, did you email Meng about it and did he send you a new adapter?

The big difference should be in the hardware. We are migrating to a one cloud platform as far as the software goes. What else would you like to see in the rackmount or business versions? What is the main issue with the SSL certs?

quote:The devices themselves connect at 500mbps. The WiFi is 300mbps. So in theory, you can connect a WiFi device to use 300 of the 500, and a wired device to use 100mbps. So in total, you'll be able to maximize 400 of the 500 mbps. I agree it's not a perfect scenario, but network speeds are almost always used in this way. For example, our AC3200 router can operate at speeds up to 3200 combined, but one of the radios uses a 4x4 N150 chip that is only accessible by about 1% of the devices on the market today. Because of this the IEEE allows for some latitude regarding advertising. We leverage this to our advantage, as do other manufacturers.

Thanks! I will do that this evening. I thought I upgraded the firmware but I will check. It seems to only happen when I connect directly to the R7000 itself. I have it right now running to an AC1900 Nighthawk downstairs since it provides a little better coverage, and I dont get the lag spikes when connected that way.
