Sticking with the theme of Internet security, I recently became interested in securing my mobile Internet connection with a VPN as well as my connection at home. Fortunately, most VPN providers are aware that users need multiple connections with a single account, and both providers I've tried personally allow for this. This means my connection to my VPN can be active at home, plus I can be out and about on a 4G mobile connection and still remain protected. Here's how to make it happen. You won't believe how easy it is. DISCLAIMER: Every VPN provider is different, and the tutorial I include here works for my provider of choice, and may very well work for several others, if not most of them. However, you should read your VPN providers' documentation carefully to determine if alternative or additional steps are necessary to use this app correctly. This tutorial WILL NOT WORK FOR EVERY SETUP and rather is meant to give a good idea of what it takes to get one going. Get a VPN Account Yes, that's right. Not everything in life is free, and you'll have to pay for a quality VPN connection. It's worth every penny. One of...
The NETGEAR N600 - WNDR3400 may be listed on the lower end of the latest routers available from NETGEAR... but we got a chance to give the WNDR3400v2 a spin and were quite impressed with it! It comes with most of the extra features the more expensive routers from NETGEAR have, such as a wireless guest network, live parental controls and their NETGEAR Genie App. It also boasts, and in our tests proved out, a wireless range similar to the WNDR3700 and WNDR3800 -- which in those tests, was much higher than our trusty WNR3500L router I have used for a couple of years. Basic Setup of the WNDR3400v2 NETGEAR makes it very easy to setup and connect to the router once you have it installed and powered up. They provide a setup wizard and the NETGEAR Genie app that takes you through the steps needed for basic operation. If you are connected to the router via wired Ethernet, then going to http://www.routerlogin.net/ in your web browser (or for advanced users, 192.168.1.1) still works as well. If you wish to setup the router wirelessly, they have the name and password for the router on the pastic bag the router comes...

I recently received a brand new R6300 from the folks at MyOpenRouter. Since there hasn't been any guide on unbricking, I'm going to show you some pics from the inside of the R6300! I'm not going to write a full review or unbricking guide here, as the unbricking process works exactly as described in the WNR3500L unbrick guide. The pinouts can be taken from my pic. Note: When powering on, you have to be really quick to press CTRL+C in order to get to the CFE prompt -- the WNR3500L is a bit slower here. As for technical information -- as other sites have already published a lot of info, I'm going to post only a few specs that I haven't found in other places. This unit has 64K NVRAM space, which is pretty cool and allows users to store a fair amount of config values in flash. It has two flash chips: one 2MB serial, and one 128MB NAND flash. The 128MB allows users to store a whole lot of functionality in the future. I already have a set of features in mind that will be integrated into the firmware :) I have also added a little extension cable...
