WordPress.com powers alot of blogs, millions and all those blogs are about to get a new real-time feature, thanks to alot of Hubbub.

WordPress recently announced that the company has pushed support for PubSubHubbub live, a new technology that will push blog content to RSS and ATOM services much more quickly.

This is a very clever way to allow WordPress blogs to distribute content as it’s published to 3rd party services, rather than waiting for those services to check each feed for new posts. It’s on and live for all WordPress.com blogs, though self-hosted blogs must add a simple plugin, here to go real-time with this feature.

PubHubSubbub as highlighted in the video above. However those of you who want to find out more about the new protocol can do so over at the PuSH project site, here.

The router doesn’t support true dual-band wireless-N, and offers OK range at best. It’s a basic router with two separate access points, one of which supports Wireless-N and can operate in either 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequencies, while the other is a regular 802.11G 2.4GHz. The result is that when in dual-band mode the router is able to offer Wireless-N only in the 5Ghz frequency, while the 2.4Ghz frequency is maxed out at the 802.11G speed. Which is fine for me and helps (I think) cut through interference on the 2.4GHz channels for critical media.

After connecting all of the required wires I launch the Router page and start the config.  First I replace the ISP DNS with the OpenDNS, this ISP is notorious for lagging “waiting for domain.com” issues.

I launch all of the machines that will be on this network and I immediately encounter both the PS3 “DNS ERROR 80710102″ and the OSX error “Your wireless network appears to have been compromised…”  These are 2 semi-well documented issues with anecdotal work-arounds supplied by mostly other end users.

The steps I’ve taken to make my specific issues disappear, after the jump.
