I have a Netgear gs305p switch in my basement as an extender to another switch on the other side of the house. I have a need for another port. I guess the step from 5 ports is 8 ports. I do use PoE from one of the ports for an AP. I have the power supply for my Netgear gs305p in a kind of fixed...

I have a Hikvision security camera by entrance door that is bothering me for a while. Those dome cameras have a poor Wifi antenna. Wifi nearby isn't that bad. So, I am thinking to get an extender. All I need is basic 2.4Ghz for this camera. My other constraint is size. The device needs to plug...

I run into an issue with "file history" which caused me to look into backup settings. The whole system was on autopilot backing up though file history to a network drive. It looks like I have two options to do backup in Windows 11? 1.) Windows 7 backup 2.) File history. Is this correct? (I...

So, I got the TPLink RE450. However, I am not sure whether it is going to work. It has actually only two modes: - extender (which I don't need/want) - AP (as converting a Ethernet to Wifi) I am looking for converting Wifi to Ethernet for a client. Or am I missing something?

Indeed. Thanks for pointing out the Ethernet port "limitation". I looked at RE315 https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/range-extender/re315/#specifications and TL-WR902AC both with 100Mbs port. As much as I like to have 1GBps I am not sure whether this really limits anything? Found this...

This is for a Bluesound device. I am just not sure if I am looking at the right product categories. It seems that the TL-WR902AC in "client mode" can to the trick?

I am looking for a WiFi Ethernet adapter. I also look for 5Ghz support. Can somebody recommend a device for this application? Would this TP-Link, the TL-WR902AC work? https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Wireless-Portable-Travel-Router/dp/B01N5RCZQH?th=1 just came across a Brosnet, but not sure I...

thanks. this seems like a quality product. Can I also run this driver-less? Found this FAQ on https://us.creative.com/sxfisupport/sxfi-amp/faqs/ Can the SXFI AMP work on speakers? Super X-Fi technology is meant to recreate natural sound from multiple sets of speakers for...

I needed to connect a laptop dock to my speakers. I prefered the USB-C port int the back of the port. Found this product: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085RSYYT8?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 However, it turns out that I get a crackle sound overlaid. Therefore, what better choices are...

I am using a Belkin KVM for years. I recently decided to route audio to my speaker though it. However, this introduced noise/hum. Tried several things, including getting a ground loop idolator for the audio going from KVM to speaker. However, this didn't fix anything. After testing various...

I like to travel light and simple and looking for a "one for all" solution. I have ipad, iphones, Beats, Garmin watch, and a Dell Laptop (Latitude 9420). Currently, I travel with Dell laptop power supply and RAVpower PD Pioneer 65W I like to travel with only one charger. I did some research...

Looks like the Netgear CM1100 is currently the cheapest. My current Motorola SB6120 is actually an Arris as well. I was thinking to get a MB7621 or CM700 as it would be sufficient, but are DOCSIS 3.0

I need to upgrade my current Motorola SB6120 cable modem which has been great, but is limiting my speed now. I want to buy and not to rent. Since I appear to keep my HW for a long time I am assuming it is good to choose a DOCSIS 3.1. It needs to be a Comcast approved modem. What should I pick...

Thanks. I tried it out and works well. My setup is for a workout station. I might prefer an option where I can leave the phone away for a while.

GotNoRice much appreciated. Just figured out the monitor has an audio out. would something like this work? https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Transmitter-QOFOWIN-Bluetooth-tansmitter/dp/B06XHGS32J/ref=psdc_9926003011_t3_B07C5J2WWD Although nut much different result from your solution
