How Often Should Router Updates Come??? Debra writes, "You folks have said that I should look for routers that get updated regularly or switch to a 3rd-party firmware. How often should the updates come? My router hasn't had a new firmware update in quite some time.  How can I tell if this is a problem? If so, how should I go about finding a different firmware?" Great question!!!

Fix My Family's WiFi: One of Patrick’s friends called and said “I’m getting on a plane at 4PM and I need to fix my brother and sister in law’s WiFi before I go. What should I do???” We talk placement, why a new router is a good idea (and why it should be AC), killing off dead spots... and why a second WAP is probably a better idea than a WFi Extender! 
Add More HDMI Ports: Greg writes, "I'm running out of HDMI ports on my Denon AVR-791.  With TV set-top, game consoles, Roku, etc. ports are rare.  Is there a good HDMI switch that would also work well with Logitech Harmony remotes?" Greg links to a Monoprice switch, and we talk about it, universal remotes, and Heronfidelity's current pick from J-Tech Digital in the video! 
Headphone Amp Ohm Advice: Paul writes, "Just thought I would bring up ohms when deciding if you would benefit from a headphone amp.  I've found that you need a pair of headphones that is at least 100 ohms before it makes a big difference."
