Faster power up from stand by...

[routerunner]

This is probably something that, a part from me, everybody in this community knows already, but I though to share it anyway because a forum is what is all about, isn't it?

Basically, I was always being a little bit annoyed by the amount of time an extender takes to power up, therefore in my household all the extenders are kept in stand by mode during the day, so that to wake up you just need to press the power button which makes the delay more bearable...

However, there is a way faster procedure which I learned yesterday from thomaszoo whom mention it during his review of my Squeezeslave plugin, the HOME button. Yes, by pressing the home button whilst in stand by mode, the UI will show up in a jiffy, bypassing completely the server connection procedure.

Works a charm

BTW just discovered that on the HD100 the buttons behavior is swapped...very confusing if you have a mix of equipment in your household
