    So, the Monoprice will go above spec for screen refresh rate? Could it o 4k @100Hz? Also, how does the Monoprice generally work? Qucik switch, no screen issues?

    Display port KVM that supports 120+ refresh and has 3.5mm audio switching?

    No issue with static/ground loop noise? I am trying to replace a Belkin with DVI in order to get 60Hz video. That Belkin always had issues with audio. Do Monoprice and TESmart switch quickly and reliable? Is EDID (or lack of an issue)?

    Netgear gs305p running out of ports - what is the logical upgrade?

    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...

    Mini 2.4Ghz Wifi Extender recommendation - has anyone heard of Todaair?

    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...

    WiFi Ethernet adapter recommendation

    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?

    WiFi Ethernet adapter recommendation

    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...

    WiFi Ethernet adapter recommendation

    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?

    Need help to find better USBC DAC

    Logitech K740 keyboard introduces hum/noise on audio when connected to Belkin KVM

    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...

    Need to upgrade cable modem on Xfinity - what to pick?

    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

    Need to upgrade cable modem on Xfinity - what to pick?

    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...
