Burning speeds
Sometimes I need to burn CDs or DVDs when I want to give huge data away.
Unfortunately not everybody owns a big enough USB stick, yet – although they went quite expensive. I got mine 16 GB USB stick for less than 20 Euro!

Boot from USB instead of DVD
You do not want to burn a DVD or CD when installing a new operating system or running some maintenance tools? Me not, too!

Chardrive your harddrive
If the space on a harddrive gets smaller and smaller, then it is time to put some files away. Either they can be put on a backup media or deleted forever. The big question is what to kick first? Large files or long time untouched files?

The T-Com Speedport router model W701 V has like many other hardware some hidden talents, but they need to be awaken with the help of tricks.
