    Re : An Appeal From Tim Higgins

    So I white listed this site back when the banner first appeared, was gone for a couple of days, when I came back the banner was gone, went all last week no banner, even this morning there was no banner. So I logged in to the site just now and the banner is back, the ONLY change I made to my...

    Hard Drive Recommendation

    Glad I didn't check their forums before I bought 4x3TB blues for my TS-431. Those 4 blue drives have been up and running for months with no issues. You may have just gotten your hands on a faulty drive? Me too.

    Raspberry Pi 3 B+ Board Released - 3/14

    So I could power one through the Ethernet cable? I have a POE switch and that would be dam convenient for me as I'm running short on places to plug stuff in where all my tech stuff is at :p I was just sitting here thinking about the pi3 I have behind the TV, I have pi-hole on it, but that whole...

    [Asustor] Asustor dropping Kodi support as of March 20th

    I would also suggest a mini keyboard/mouse pad, I prefer this to the little stick remote that comes with the shield. I have another one of these but another brand that I use with my Raspberry-pi but this one is far superior. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GCPVZDW/?tag=snbforums-20

    [Asustor] Asustor dropping Kodi support as of March 20th

    Hopefully you didn't bother with the pro version? You can network it to a NAS, use a USB external drive (even a flash drive I have a 128G flash drive hanging out of mine), and if you have an NIVIDA GPU you can stream your games and movies straight from your computer, not that I do, but I could...

    Hello dear forum community...

    Which could help to get it away from the case. I have run USB dongles off of a USB cable that I ran up the wall about half way to improve reception. It looked like hell but it worked.

    Hello dear forum community...

    Actually I built an entire computer with all parts bought through Amazon and saved myself $100 - $150+- just on the parts compared to NewEgg and Tiger Direct. Considering the cost of the parts I bought shipping was not going to be an issue on any of the sites, but if you use Amazon enough Prime...

    Hello dear forum community...

    Yes it would, BUT, putting a network card in a tower computer is MUCH EASIER than putting one in a laptop. I only suggested a USB card for your laptop because of the difficulty in installing a new card in your particular laptop. I just bought myself a NetGear AC600 adapter for my laptop this...

    Clean win 10 install slow download (fast upload)

    Have you forced all of the updates to windows? When Windows needs updates I've noticed internet connectivity suffers. FWIW: I did a reset on my laptop a few months ago, didn't really use the computer until my semester started, I "thought" resting it would address some issues I was having with...

    Hello dear forum community...

    True, but the OP doesn't have the skill set to breakdown her old computer so it's a reasonable accommodation. Besides one could also get a male-2-female USB cable and position the USB receiver how they like. Regardless, a USB card is going to afford better performance most likely than what she...

    Hello dear forum community...

    You could go and buy a USB WiFi adapter. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA25V2TV7921&cm_re=usb_network_adaptor-_-9SIA25V2TV7921-_-Product You could probably find one relativity cheap at walmart. Now and days yes, but older Dells you had to breakdown the entire computer to...

    Hello dear forum community...

    Now that your getting some basic understanding of networking and settings you may want to look at it's a good time to break out the manual. If you don't have an idea of what your looking for or trying to accomplish, a manual is as easy to read as Chinese. Once you have a better grasp on what...

    Hello dear forum community...

    If I did something like that I'd just hit the factory reset button and start over:p It's a setting in the configuration of the router, the routers I'm familiar with have it under the wireless management section and it can typically be set to 20, 40, or auto. Auto will let the router determine...

    Hard Drive Recommendation

    I have 4 WD blue label all 3TB in a TS-431+ and have never had a problem with them and they run around 95/96F according to the on-board monitoring, and they are quiet I've never heard them spin up or down like I use to when I had black labels in there.

    Choosing Right Cable Grade For Jobs

    Suitable for wall installations where you can set it and forget it, especially useful if your going to run it in a ceiling around florescent lighting which can create interference (EMI), or in industrial environments where sources of EMI are generated from any number of sources, usually...

    Purchase Our Own Modem for Spectrum?

    Wow:eek: I had a TWC account and called them sometime back to see what my up/down load speed was suppose to be. During that call the rep offered to switch me to a Spectrum account if I wanted to increase my bandwidth. Of course all I have is an internet connection so no bundles, why pay for...
