Hi. We're specifically looking for a way to get full-screen RDP sessions working securely on Chromebooks such as the Samsung. Does anyone have practical experience with Neorouter as a solution using this hardware and OS? Is the RDP experience comparable to running native RDP from a Windows laptop?

Update: Been testing both the Chrome plugin and HTML5 NeoRouter clients. So far, both connect to the server fine, and show the other systems, but neither can RDP to a Windows 2008 VM, nor SSH to Linux systems through that screen. The normal NeoRouter Network Explorer run from Windows 2008 can SSH to those Linux systems over the same connection. But getting the Chrome or HTML5 clients to fully work involves some trick we haven't managed to stumble on yet. We're still excited by the idea. If either of these can work, we've got immediate uses and will license.

RDP works through the Chrome plugin now that we've switched to the 32-bit rather NR server on Ubuntu, rather than the 64-bit one.

It's useful to maximize the Chrome screen before logging in, as the RDP screen size is fixed at login (if set to "Full Screen"), and to set color depth to "High Color (16 bit)" to avoid ugly rendering in just 256 colors. Too bad High Color's not the default.

RDP is quite usable. Impressive. There are some screen refreshes on elements that are more noticeable than a direct RDP session. Otherwise it's a comparable experience.

Update: After more use, the screen refreshes are often much too slow for doing normal work. There's a lot of waiting for the refreshes. Is there a prospect of getting the RDP app faster?

can we expect a fix for this?

I like the look of NeoRouter Mesh for my company. Wont put down money for it if this is an issue for everyone. It is on my android phone.
