I've got Guitar Hero: World Tour. Do you have it? I have it for my Wii. If yes, then you'll know some of the pads (the red pad especially) doesn't always pick up the hits. You have to hit it harder than the rest. I didn't like this.
As I soon began playing most songs in Expert mode (thaaaaat's right), I also found the orange pad (the cymbol) also had to be hit quite hard.
So, I did a bit of research. Google was my friend.
This is a known fault with the drum kit, and as such - a free solution is provided (under warranty anyway)!

Contact them, stating the problem you're having with the drums. They'll ask you to do a few checks but once you confirm the problem, they'll send you a MIDI-USB cable for the drums to be connected to your PC/Laptop. It can take 4-6 WEEKS they said but I got mine in a matter of days!
I downloaded the software, followed the instructions, adjusted my sensitivity, and voila! Perfect hits every time!
Guitar Hero: World Tour - Great game, great support.

Extending Wireless Networks - The Finished Result!
After getting my lovely DIR-635 on Tuesday, I spent the day getting it all set up.
Ignore my previous post as I had to change the steps, and didn't configure the DHCP settings on a per-router basis.
1) Power on the new (or old and factory reset) router and connect to it via Ethernet cable. Don't plug anything else in.
2) Access the router's IP address (this will be 192.168.1.1 or similar) and configure any wireless settings - eg SSID and wireless key. These must match your existing router's wireless configuration if you want them to work in tandem and if you want your devices to automatically switch between them. Save and reboot.
3) Change the IP address of the router to an IP used by your existing router - in my case, my Belkin is 192.168.2.x - so I set my new router to 192.168.2.254 and turned OFF the DHCP server. (These steps should be done together as they should be on the same page of your router). Save and reboot.
4) Now, plug a cable from the LAN of your existing router into the LAN (NOT the WAN port if you are using a cable router) of your new router. Your existing router will detect the IP address you set and will route traffic through it accordingly.
Now your wired/wireless devices accessing your new router will have their IPs assigned by the DHCP server on your existing router AND you will still have access to ALL network resources on both routers (eg printers, hard drives, and PCs too).
