Go to the apple store and check it out. BTW you may also be able to sell it at price on eBay.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I have a remarkably stupid question.
Last year I added two routers to my parents' network, and this year I wanted to document them properly. But I can't work out what their IP addresses are. I've done a port scan on 80 (and 443, just in case) on 192.168.1.* (which is the network the main modem/router is on and giving out addresses) and only the main modem/router shows up.
Is there a way short of resetting to find out? I want to leave them with a properly documented system (which I patently did not last year), but I don't want to go through the same process as before of working out precisely the best access point configuration.
It can't be that hard--it must be that I'm overlooking something obvious.
Check the arp cache on your PC, and see if any of the entries up to the MAC addresses of the routers.
I tried that! But I'm clearly doing something wrong, since the MAC addresses start with F46D04, and I don't see those in the cache.
If you have them set up as bridges, and not routers, then maybe they don't have an IP address assigned. Or maybe they have duplicate IP addresses. Can you reach them via the 169.254.x.x subnet?
Yeah, I guess that's what I was going to ask about your setup. You have the main modem/router and then two subordinates? And the stuff that's coming in through the subs is functional, you just can't tell what the addresses are?
I had to laugh today because my sister called me to relay something funny my dad had done, and in the background, my brother-in-law was doing family tech support. Hahaha, I did my share at Thanksgiving, your turn now.
If you named the routers, you can try pinging "my-router-name.local".
Also, have you downloaded the router utility from support.asus.com? I'll bet it can autodiscover your routers.
I cannot get Netflix streaming to work on my tv for nothing. Has been an issue all day. I have tried figuring out help through the Netflix site to no avail. Right now I can't even get the help page to load.
Yeah, they're having problems. The internet is not amused.
