    GTX 1030 vs 1050 for 4k Playback

    I am planning to upgrade the graphics card in my desktop to either GTX 1030 or 1050. I mainly need it to play 4k HDR content and run a 4k TV along with 1200p monitor. So I am not really looking for a whole lot of performance and want the economical solution. I do little if any gaming and for...

    Just tried that, no change in link speed whatsoever. After taking the above screenshot, I had set the AP to 40MHz, no difference in link speed. PC is connected through Cat6 cable.

    Getting faster than 72Mbps Wi-Fi speed on mobile

    I have been trying out various settings on my TP-Link TL-WR841N 300Mbps Wireless N Router. However, no matter what I do, I cannot get faster than 72Mbps link speed on mobile phones (Redmi Note 3 and Mi4i). This roughly translates into a maximum download speed of 48-49Mbps and similar upload...

    The Router Recommendations Thread (Consumer)

    I have one desktop that is connected through LAN, no NAS and rest of the devices are connected through Wi-Fi. So it is sort of hard to come with a justification for a new router so soon.

    The Router Recommendations Thread (Consumer)

    Because I bought this router in Jan, when I upgraded from 16mbps DSL to 20mbps connection. Frankly speaking, I have no use for 100mbps. Just thinking of trying it out, because it is only US$4 more and I can change me internet speed each month thanks to prepaid plan.

    I have a TP-LINK TL-WR841N router, with 100mbps WAN and LAN ports. So far I am using it with 50mbps internet connection and it is able to provide full 50mbps speed through LAN and WiFi.

    Internet stops working intermittently on desktop

    Turns out the router was blocking my computer for DDoS while streaming videos, I guess due to a lot packets coming in!

    Internet stops working intermittently on desktop

    Tried to ping IP address, but couldn't do that either. I guess it is time to install a different internet security program and see how it goes. One thing I have noticed is that this generally happens when I am streaming something from Amazon Prime or YouTube. Did that, and it didn't work.

    Is Windows 7 back up reliable?

    I have 3 drives in my computer. 1. SSD which has OS and other software. 2. 1TB HDD which stores documents and images I work with. 3. 2TB HDD for internal backup and storing songs etc. I do not care about creating a system image, since if the OS drive gets corrupted or windows has any...

    Is Windows 7 back up reliable?

    I have just started using automatic back up of Windows 7 to back up my data folders onto secondary internal HDD (I manually back up to external drives periodically). However I am wondering whether or not it is a reliable method of taking daily backups or should I use another software or do this...
