    Tor Browser Questions

    I hope Tor discussions are not against the site policy. Just getting into using it and I noticed that almost every site I visit does not allow me to continue without accepting cookies which is weird...because if I turn off cookies with a non-Tor browser the websites do not give me a hassle. Is...

    My Terrible Experience Working Help-Desk

    I was able to break into the enterprise/production environment a little over a year ago working in a call center with very little formal education, but I have over 10 years of PC and electronics repair experience. I was hired on as "desktop support" by a small company of ~75 employees, that...

    Sloooow Seagate USB External Drive - Why?

    Moving onto the daughterboard I connected it to a different model drive I pre-tested the speed of in the dock and it presented the same symptoms of the assembled Seagate with a write speed of only 350KBps...BUT connected to any other machine wrote @ 120-140MBps. So the problem is between the...

    Sloooow Seagate USB External Drive - Why?

    I updated my BIOS to the latest version, but still nothing. I am stumped because the same USB 3.1 port functions fine with all other drives both flash and externals. Its just this one particular external that has an extreme write bottleneck, yet works on USB 2.0 ports to full 2.0 write speed...

    Sloooow Seagate USB External Drive - Why?

    Its a consistent drive with 3 out of 4 machines, and the SMART data is young and healthy.

    Sloooow Seagate USB External Drive - Why?

    The desktop has an ASRock A320M-HDV mainboard, and my laptop is a Thinkpad X131e. None of my USB devices are plugged into each other, except for a USB 3.0 hub but the external is not connected to the hub. I am not transferring between USB drives, I am transferring to and from a 10K rpm...

    Sloooow Seagate USB External Drive - Why?

    I have a USB 3.0 Seagate external drive (ST1000LM024) with very low hours on it that is extremely sluggish and I can not figure out why. It took 5min to transfer a 50Mb file onto it and disk management takes a min or two before the GUI will load....yet it only took 1 second to transfer the 50Mb...

    Wireless Bridge Recommendations

    So I pulled two Ethernet cables and power through the wall, this way I have two Ethernet connections to the router with one being a spare leading to my desk if I need to plug in another hardwired device in the future....if I was going through the work I might as well pull two of them. I used...

    Wireless Bridge Recommendations

    So the system is complete, I ran some tests with the RE650 between the window and blinds netting the best results at a stable 200Mbps both ways. I ended up using a cheap Archer A6 router for NAT and as my AP...it may not have the best 802.11AC performance but all I really need it for is...

    Minimum Patch Length?

    I was about to re-cable our entire patch rack with 12" cables until one of my coworkers mentioned a minimum patch cable length of 3 meters. I want to move our switches up directly below each patch panel so that I can eliminate the cable management rows with a direct shot from the patch panels to...

    Stacking UPS? (Without Transfer Switch)

    I already have multiple 5000VA APC units with external battery banks but these Tripplites were free from another project. I will either put a transfer switch between the two or use just one with a large external bank.

    Stacking UPS? (Without Transfer Switch)

    I reached out to Tripplite and they said no. More peak power is not my goal, its just extended runtime between the two evenly. If anything, I might try connecting both DC buses to the same battery bank.

    Wireless Bridge Recommendations

    Alright I have had a few days to mess with the RE650 and I am not all that impressed with its performance. I did disable the 2.4GHz backhaul and to answer my question above the 5GHz backhaul traffic did carry over to the 2.4GHz fronthaul, it actually doubled the speed of the 2.4GHz AP. However...

    WAN --> LAN Subnet Eating Bandwidth?

    I am hoping the TP-LINK Archer A6 I just ordered is up to the task. I don't need 1Gbps of throughput, but I do need a solid 200Mbps of routing. The reason I set my bridge device to static is so that I can log into it without the need to check the client list in my landlords router for the IP...

    WAN --> LAN Subnet Eating Bandwidth?

    Its a complicated topic I have a thread for already, powerline will not work here. MoCA adapters are a good idea, but I am not sure it would work with the existing equipment here. https://www.snbforums.com/threads/wireless-bridge-recommendations.62489/page-2#post-563468
