    Trying to debug an ongoing wireless problem

    24 GB of RAM is a waste of $ for that system. I had 12GB for last 2 years. Use maybe 6 GB max for any games. 16GB is plenty.

    Bye Bye 40 MHz Mode in 2.4 GHz

    Hilarious. Grid would go too far and affect others. You need to be more selective. I would have bought 4 cheap routers & cheap directional antennas for them. Place the routers close to his place. Adjust antennas properly. Then initiate a continuous transfer loop designed to make the routers...

    New House Network Design - UVerse ISP

    14.4k to 33.6k was a great upgrade. Wow WTF I got the speeds right? I couldn't remember the house address number from a couple years ago. That sucked when I went to recover an old BNET account and they asked me. Haha the guy actually let me by when I was half right on it trying from google...

    New House Network Design - UVerse ISP

    Lol. Most of the time, that's how it is in life. What kind of planning did you do? It was to your benefit because you have an action plan for the installers.

    Trying to debug an ongoing wireless problem

    I just saw this on Newegg for a pretty good price and bought one shipped to my parents. PCIe WiFi I bought them a new Dell which is still in the box at their house. They are waiting for my Christmas visit so I can set it up. They only use web, email. My mom loves Solitaire.

    1) bridge using an old router 2) PCIe card that adds USB3, use USB3 WiFi dongle 3) PCIe card that adds WiFi 4) Build new computer w/ USB3 mobo, use USB3 WiFi dongle Benefit of 2 is addition of USB3 to your computer, then you can add more USB3 ports. 4 is awesome option if you got $

    Trying to debug an ongoing wireless problem

    Transfer 10+GB to a USB2 flash drive. You feel tired so you go take a nap. Still not done when you wake up.

    Maximum wireless speed

    Theoretical maximum is 1900. YMMV.

    Need a router with serious cpu. Hopefully 802.11ac

    No need to OC. It was in the old firmware. Then someone went to 1.4-1.6 GHz for the lulz and posted results. Right after that, Kong took out the OC settings. IMO he should leave it, but Kong is too nice to do that.

    Need a router with serious cpu. Hopefully 802.11ac

    Actually, that router is pretty good @ that price, given that it has Gigabit ethernet. I would recommend it over the Medialink. I own both. The WDR-4300 is very stable for 99% of users. I'm going to install it at my parents house when I visit them for Christmas. I'm confident it's better than...

    Blasphemy. A man does not move stuff around until he is forced to do so or suffer unending annoyance by nag.
