Anyone else notice the quality of SOHO or even low end pro routers/wireless routers has gone to hell? They all seemed to have bought into really cheap firmware for the routers, and poor wireless radios. I have been through Linksys, Netgear, and Belkin. It is all junk. I recently picked up a Buffalo WZR-600DHP and I love it. I had yet another Netgear router go bad and was dropping wireless users at random. Anything streaming media was being interrupted - etc. The Buffalo router seems to have fixed all the problems, and I have excellent signal. When I was looking for a replacement, I went through reviews on Amazon and Newegg (among others) and the major brands were all getting poor reviews. Even the latest Negear Pro gear was getting bad reviews for dropping wireless. I still like the Netgear switches for cost/performance in lower end applications / offices, but I am thinking Buffalo is poised to take the market away from all these guys. And they are pretty cheap for what you get. Anyone try out their NAS products yet?

The more you post - the fruitier you get, lol

I wonder if they will address the Office 2013 IMAP issues. There is a thread in the Microsoft forums that is pages long. Microsoft never bothered to reply to it even. Everyone in the thread worked together to find work arounds. It is mostly turning off all the bloatware features in the plug-in's.

How long ago did you update the Cert? I am assuming that was the last thing you did tot he system. I had one recently that even though it said it updated, it did not actually update. Removed the certificates (including verifying all old certificates were gone), added them back in. Check bindings.

I guess it is just saying we are just bullshitting anyway. lol It's like the Motel 6 comercial - we'll keep a fan on! lol

WOW - this is like a SpiceWorks reunion. I like the new site. How did you come up with the name?

The Buffalo came with the DD-WRT installed. It is great. Any specific models on the Ubiquiti or Engenius?

Thank You

I was a little surprised they were saying battery life length. Why not just give it a USB cord like on ROKU.

I think you are right on the money with this. I started using RAID 10 single arrays more last year and the payoff has been great for clients.

I have had great results with this and the other people in the thread I worked with reported similar results.

Breaking this out of another thread so it is easier to find.

Most of the Outlook IMAP issues are related to the plugin's - weeks of playing with them with others with the same problem to get it stable.

FILE -> OPTIONS

Then select the Add-Ins tab on the left.

Bottom of the next window - Manage COM-Add-In (GO) Click the GO

Turn Everything off except your AV Software Add-In and the search if you need it.

Also - make sure the setup of the IMAP is rooted in Inbox. Before you do this make sure you have your calendar and contacts backed up as it will delete everything in the account and re-download. (See below for moving calendar and contacts)

FILE -> ACCOUNT SETTINGS -> MANAGE ACCOUNT

MORE SETTINGS (Bottom Right) -> ADVANCED TAB

Middle of the page - Folders (Root Folder Path) INBOX

You also want to move your calendar and contacts out of the IMAP into a PST.

From the HOME tab on the mail Outlook page: Second button in is the NEW Item button - it has a drop down arrow. Click the drop down - then more items - select Outlook Data file at the very bottom. I usually move this out of the user profile to C:\DATA\OUTLOOK - if you have more than one user on the workstation C:\DATA\USER\OUTLOOK

I usually name the new PST something like calendar or contacts depending on what is more important to the user. This should mount the PST as well.

Next go to the calendar for the current user. Click VIEW TAB. Then select the change view drop down and select list. You should be able to see everything in the calendar. If they have anything, just select all and copy he data to the calendar in the new PST. Do the same for the contacts.

Close outlook. to START -> CONTROL PANEL -> MAIL.. In the MAIL windows - select DATA FILES. Set the new PST for the calendar to the default data file. Close both of the windows and open outlook again.

Removing the Calendar and Contacts from the IMAP folder seems to solve a lot of issues as well with synchronization of folders. To be sure you are getting all of your folders and sub-folders, From the main Outlook page go to the folder tab. Then select IMAP folders. In the IMAP folders window - top right select Query. You should see the folders populate. Then select ok. Go to the Send/Receive tab and select **SEND AND RECEIVE ALL FOLDERS **on the left. This should finish updating all folder and they should stay in sync.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I doubt it, good IMAP support is not really in their interest. That it works at all is really all that probably matters. If you are a dedicated IMAP shop you are probably going to move to a different web interface, use Thunderbird or are so cheap that you aren't really a serious MS customer.

Yeah - it seems to be part of the strategy to frustrate the user and force them onto Exchange 2013. I had one client do that already. They also wanted the shared calendars of Outlook. IMAP was not cutting it.
