What wireless router should i get for a 6 person college house?

Question by Eric D: What wireless router should i get for a 6 person college house?
Our previous router needed to be reset all the time and eventually it just crapped out. We have 6 people in our house and it is 3 stories. We all have laptops, we play Xbox live, 5 of us have smart phones that connect to the network, and one person uses a Slingbox to watch TV which is also connected to the internet. Specific suggestions would be great. Thanks

go for a cisco or netgear router

also make sure you get a N router, dont get any G,A,B routers

N routers will also get you more range as to how far the signal will reach out to

and last but not least make sure you secure your network! use WPA or WPA2/PSK
DO NOT USE WEP!

Hub Strategy Wins Big with Best of Show Addy Award Integrated Creative Firm Also Takes Home 64 Awards Across the Spectrum of Media

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 7, 2008

Hub Strategy and Communication (Hub), a San Francisco-based creative collective, announced today that they won Best of Show at this year's ADDY Awards for their Slingbox TV spot, "Dentist." In addition, they took home Best of Division for TV and Radio plus 64 additional awards including 11 Gold for website design, radio, TV, web advertising, print, collateral and point of purchase materials as well as a slew of Silver awards in package design, non-traditional advertising, outdoor and microsite design.

"We're psyched about the Best of Show award, but not sure the dentist community feels the same way," said DJ O'Neil, founder and creative director at Hub.

The Slingbox is a device that lets you watch your home TV on your mobile phone or laptop. Hub's winning TV spot opens on a patient watching a horror movie on his laptop. He shows his dentist the show, and the dentist remarks on the movie by saying things like, "Uh, oh, this is going to be gruesome" and "Wow, look at all that blood." The other patients in the waiting room and other dentist chairs overhear the dentist's words out of context and assume he is talking about what is happening to a patient he is working on.

Hub's other awards across the full range of media reaffirms the success of their non-traditional approach to creative development. Hub employs a relatively small full-time staff of creatives and creative directors, and manages a network of over 100 creative specialists.

Each freelance creative in the network is an expert in their specific area. "That way, if we need a headline writer, we find the right person who's great at headlines. The same person might not be so great at radio or television. If we need a kick-ass motion graphics designer, or a brand identity specialist, we can put exactly that skill set on the project," said Peter Judd, associate creative director and director of design. The creatives are then managed and directed as if they were in-house employees.

About the ADDY Awards

The ADDY Awards are the advertising industry's largest and most representative competition, recognizing and rewarding creative excellence in the art of advertising. Every year approximately 60,000 entries are submitted in local ADDY competitions. Judging is performed by nationally recognized creative directors recruited from major advertising agencies from outside the region.

About Hub Strategy

Hub Strategy and Communication focuses on integrated marketing built around a solid brand strategy that acts as a Hub for all communication. Client experience includes the Slingbox, MacGregor Golf, Sega, LOOK Cycles, Konami, Sugar Publishing, Ex'pression College for Digital Arts, Lombardi Sports, Sidi Cycling Shoes, KCBS Radio, and Sparks Energy Drink. www.hubstrategy.com

CableMatrix Demonstrates Enhanced Slingbox Solution at NCTA Convention

DES PLAINES, IL (PRWEB) April 12, 2006

CableMatrix Technologies, a leading provider of Quality of Service (QoS) policy management solutions, is demonstrating its Smart Agent technology using a Slingbox from Sling Media in the CableNet area (Booth 3665) of the National Cable Television Association (NCTA) Convention in Atlanta. Using CableMatrix’s unique Smart Agent technology, the solution shows how operators can enhance all streaming media emanating from the popular Slingbox, optimizing the viewing experience of the remote user.

CableMatrix’s PacketCable™ Multimedia (PCMM)-based policy management platform allows operators to readily implement real-time QoS and bandwidth management. Their solution suite consists of their carrier-class ODSPTM (On Demand Service Platform) policy server, along with an array of innovative application managers designed to dramatically simplify application integration. The Slingbox application takes advantage of CableMatrix’s patent-pending “Smart Agents” --- software modules that remotely signal for specific bandwidth, latency, and jitter parameters on behalf of authenticated end users.

“Roaming capabilities will be an important factor for next generation service providers,” said Matt Tooley, CTO of CableMatrix, citing remote PC access and commercial network connectivity as related applications. “Our Slingbox demonstration shows how operators can differentiate their offerings and extend their reach, even when subscribers are not on their home networks.”

The Slingbox is a breakthrough consumer electronics product that allows consumers to watch their living room TV programming from wherever they are by turning virtually any Internet-connected Windows-based laptop, desktop or Windows Mobile-based device into a personal TV. The Slingbox redirects, or "placeshifts," a single live TV stream from a cable box to the remote viewer's display. Sling Media’s existing software solution adapts to wide variations in the end-to-end network. CableMatrix’s Smart Agent enhances the remote viewing experience by making additional upstream bandwidth on the source network available when authenticated by the operator.

“We’ve been confident from the beginning that the Slingbox has the ability to directly impact all levels of the value chain, creating tremendous opportunities for partners willing to work with us,” said Blake Krikorian, Sling Media co-founder and CEO. “The CableMatrix solution enhances the overall Slingbox experience in a way that our customers will definitely appreciate.”

About CableMatrix

CableMatrix provides IMS compatible software solutions that enable broadband operators to maximize their revenues while delivering media-rich IP applications and services. Its standards-compliant ODSP Policy Server, in conjunction with the XAM Application Manager, enables dynamic QoS and bandwidth management on a per-customer, per-application basis, giving broadband cable operators the ability to directly link increased bandwidth usage with increased revenue.
