And you need to turn on remote access in the settings menu.

It might be the server your connecting to. I don't always get the best results with the closest-to-me server.

It's all about the data they can harvest, they don't care about the users security...

I overbuilt my current machine 2 years ago, just looking to do something new. Might not take much to update it. MB,CPU, and Ram. The i7 7700k processors have come down since the i9 released. Yes, it is. This build is going to be more expensive than my last one, but that's because of the...

Thanks for the link. Little more current activity than most I've found in their W/C threads anyway. The ASUS forum suggested by RMerlin didn't pan out. The threads were old and they have EK sponsoring the site. I have found that EK was having problems with their platting flaking off on their...

Please excuse the misspelling, it happens irregularly with me. I have their Celsius S24 drop-in unit in my current build. My current build is in a Cooler Master HAF XB II EVO case but it doesn't have glass side panels. Good case though at least I like it. As for the budget, it's significant...

Doubt I'd be surprised, that's the way I do it myself ;) I have an app on my phone for reading the plugin I have in my trucks OBD2 port, Flipboard (gives me something to read when I'm waiting out somewhere), a TomTom app (so I can do hands free calls when using my GPS), Alexa and Eufy apps...

I appreciate the feedback, I should have mentioned I want to do a custom built loop. I have a FractialDeisgn drop in unit cooling my CPU in my current machine, but I'm wanting to do a new build and to incorporate GPU into the loop as it gets hot sometimes when gaming unless I turn up the case...

So I'm wanting to build a liquid cooled PC this year. I have most of the regular hardware (MB/CPU, Fans, PSU, ECT.) for a computer build picked out, but I'm having trouble finding up-to-date info on parts manufacture for water cooling parts. All of the stickies on forums for this type of build...

That's why you VLAN a secondary router just for IOT devices. I only use wireless for my IOT and phone, the rest of my network is hardwired. I've never trusted putting personal info into my phone. I do very little on the internet with my phone, solves those kind of problems all together.

If you can't "make" cat6/6a cables then how do they wire a building with 6/6a? Rhetorical question, the fact is you can make your own 6/6a cables. Know which type you're working with and choose your connectors accordingly, test your connections when you're done ;)

Not really, reviews would answer a lot of those questions. And given your choices are well known across the industry, stability and commitment aren't issues that often times come to mind ;)

Not that I have a lot of IOT's, an Alexa, a couple of plugs and a light bulb, plus my phone. But I have pretty much everything hard wired on my network through a switch, including an older Asus router (66u I think). The Asus is hard wired to the switch but has a static IP set at 192.168.2.1 that...

It's a subscription, includes all Office applications and 1TB of cloud storage. I get 10 devices on my license.

Yes they have, and I get discount offers through my school email a few times a month. I will say however that while I used the free version from school these last 3 years I finally bought a subscription and left the schools version behind. Those versions are open to configuration changes and/or...
