SRT works automatically, so don't worry about it. Once you set the cache, nothing is 'wasted'

So I bought a Logitech K400 wireless keyboard/touch pad, since my wireless mouse died, and it can put my laptop to sleep and wake it up as well!  sweet

Posted via RS Mobile | It is, just wait for the tech to mature a bit. I'm still worried about the 5GHz signal ranges, they degrade quite a bit through walls/distance.
The RT-N56u's definitely a great router to go with, given that you can bear with it not having any 3rd party firmware, and the fact that it runs hot even with proper positioning.

its a great router, love the ui, looks, havent had to reset it once a week  but the 5ghz signal is weak; i've got the router in my office and upstairs +1 room over in the kitchen the 5ghz is weak and drops

Also, am I nuts for wanting a HP Envy 14 Spectre? I know it's hardware is one generation old but it still one of the best looking laptops out there.
