Dave Hamilton of The Mac Geek Gab helps us understand the world of routers from every user level perspective. Whether you want something that “just works†or want to dig in deep, Dave explains why features such as Quality of Service and Airtime Fairness are so important in a world where we seem to have abundant bandwidth, but often experience network slowdowns and degradation. Why an Apple Airport may not be your best choice right now, recommendations for all kinds of users, and even custom router software are part of the conversation with a self-described router geek.
This edition of MacVoices is supported by Macstock Conference & Expo and the Midwest Mac BBQ, coming to Woodstock IL on July 16 and 17.
