    Best software for syncing two folders on the same PC.

    I need to be able to sync two folders on the same pc whenever there are changes made to either folder. I looked at Sync Toy but it looks like you have to set up scheduling? That would work but is there any software that will do it as soon as there are changes made?

    Insane DSL speeds - 170-245Mbps! How could this be possible?

    While your DSL connection isn't shared the bandwidth providing your DSL service is shared. There is only a certain amount of bandwidth allocated to the DSLAM your DSL modem is connected to. Your problems could be from busy times overloading the amount of bandwidth they have provisioned to the...

    Problem with Netgear N300 (WNR2000) not detecting internet correctly.

    I work for a service provider and have had nothing but issues with these routers and only this model of Netgear router. Customers buy them all the time because they are the cheapest router Wal Mart sells. All of my DSL customers are connected to DSLAMs that are in layer 2 config. They are...

    Slow DSL

    If it's truly bonded DSL you won't need any special hardware other than the modem they provide. You plug your router into that. You aren't getting two IP addresses or anything. Bonded just means it uses two pairs of wires to get to your house instead of one pair. To provide the increased...

    Wireless Access Point Recommendation

    No. You add it to your network and run the Unifi Controller on a PC on the same network. It see's it and allows you to configure it. I have ran into Java issues running the controller on older PC's but using Win 10 I have the controller on my main PC and run it when I need to do something to the...

    Wireless Access Point Recommendation

    I think that is for zero handoff and stat tracking. Like how much bandwidth devices have used and such. Otherwise the Unifi Controller is used to configure the AP. For the love of god I wish that would dump that aspect of it and just let us connect to the AP directly and configure it like any...

    Windows 10 Updates other computers on Internet...

    Yep. I work for an internet provider and I have had a few customers complain about slow internet. I found the problem to be windows update. This might not be an issue for most people but when you have DSL customers with less than 10Mb/s it certainly is an issue. I've also had issues with...

    Recommendation for WiFi directional WAP?

    Ubiquiti Nanostation https://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-0000070700985-NanoStation-loco-M5/dp/B004EHSV4W/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1467755264&sr=8-3&keywords=ubiquiti+nanostation+m2 It's POE.

    Talon AD7200 Multi-Band Wi-Fi Router - Which network cards?

    Do you really need that? Do you have gigabit internet? Are you transferring huge multi gig files wirelessly every day all day? The AD tech is only good in line of sight. Meaning your devices have to be in the same room as the router to see the benefit. The press releases for this router even...

    Need help setting up whole home wifi solution

    Yes. They will work with any router. You only need the controller software running to configure them and to use seamless roaming. But if you get multiple AP's they will work fine connected to any router.

    Need help setting up whole home wifi solution

    Thanks for the info. I already use an Edgerouter Lite with Unifi AP's. So I might pick up a few Open Mesh AP's and see how they work at home. Sounds like a product that could fix some of my customers wifi issues if they want to spend the money that is. How well do the wireless repeater models...
