I'm on 200.14.6.1.203. I haven't bothered to upgrade to 200.15, but now I won't. Thanks.

I have a pair of Ruckus R610 AP's that I bought used on eBay. Running Unleashed. When I say I have never had a single WiFi problem in my crowded neighborhood, I literally mean NEVER. Not once. I can't recommend them enough.

It's nice you took measurements before and after. Not all of us would do that, or even notice. So Kudos. Glad it's working "back to normal".

Not to pick on the OP, but sometimes people change things and forget.

What is your CPU frequency under Task Manager/Performance? Make sure you're hitting your turbo speed of your CPU. Also check this. It should be 100%.

Windows 11 requires more mouse clicks to get to places that was easier in Windows 10, and easier still in Windows 7. I don't consider settings "hidden" a good thing. It's also dumbed down too much that I require registry edits or aftermarket shells just to bring features back. So no, I will...

I think you misinterpreted my post. Those same devs also added all that functionality over and above what Manuel did with m0n0wall. And that's a lot. OPNSense does have Zenarmor and some other things (like pfSense has pfBlockerNG), but I haven't seen features that have far and away set it way...

Pretty much this. Since OPNSense has been forked from pfSense, it hasn't been shown (yet) that their devs are more competent than the pfSense devs. Maybe they are; maybe they aren't. I don't recall any glaring differences in capabilities outside of the UI and package support. Until then...

The last time I looked at OPNSense, I didn't like their logging page compared to pfSense, and that is a very important feature to me. Honestly if you have pfSense and pfBlockerNG working well, I'm not sure I would change to OPNSense, but that's my 2 cents. I use a Palo Alto PA-440 today and...

Yep...it was his time.

20+ years as a Network/Security Engineer. Before that MCSE+I in the NT4 days. Before that, PC tech with A+, Lenovo, IBM, AST, HP, Toshiba and probably more certs I've long forgotten. Before that, a kid with an Apple ][+ and a dream to wanna know how it all worked.

No one bashing Comcast lately!??! OK.. Comcast sucks And so does Breezeline, WOW, Spectrum, COX, AT&T, etc.

I didn't try it. Happy it works now.

Yep, same SATA cables, OS NVMe, HDD's, memory, CPU, PSU, all stayed the same. 1) Mobo #1 - HDD errors galore in Event viewer 2) Mobo #1 with new PCIe SATA board. Same HDD errors 3) Mobo #2 - Problem resolved

Yes I did. However it happened without that card too, for a couple months until I finally replaced the mobo. Definitely weird.

My home server has an ASUS Q470M-C motherboard. I have five HDD's for media storage and an NVMe for boot. I use 5 of the 6 SATA ports on the motherboard for the hard drives. I started getting random disk errors in the event log and occasionally an entire drive would disappear (causing other...

Basically as the title says. Anyone come out with a 16:10 aspect ratio 1920x1200 monitor that does HDR? Given the choice, I'd rather keep my regular gamut 16:10 monitor (HP ZR2440w) than have HDR, but both would be nice.

I'm familiar with Prisma and Zscaler. We use Zscaler for remote users. I question a coffee shop using it. And I've been doing this since the 1990's. Nobody said it was a public VPN.

I've never seen anyone but an enterprise level company sporting Palo Alto firewalls, and I manage several myself, but I suppose it's possible. I assume Fortinet and Cisco Firepower can do the same, but I don't believe any SOHO firewall can filter VPN from 443, if that is indeed what the OP was...

I use KeePassXC.

I'd say for a coffee shop that's unlikely, but I don't mind being proven wrong. I AM very curious though what they're running that blocks VPN over 443.

Well it's unlikely that a coffee shop is sporting a Palo Alto or Fortinet firewall, but those can block VPN's over common ports. That's pretty much the whole point why they can charge more $$ than your average firewall.

The other nice thing about having a CPU with a GPU is if you ever learn the word...."Plex". :D:D

I just upgraded from 200/20 to 500/50. I don't really need 500mb down...it's the 50 up that I want. I'd take 200/100 given the chance.

I do not have experience with that brand, but for the price, it should be what you are looking for. However read the Amazon comments. You are on the right track though. The $50 or $100 KVM's won't be good enough.

These are the best of the best. I have two of them, but they aren't cheap. You just have to pick your inputs and outputs.

Those things don't correlate. I'm sure that PSU would have been fine if the computer met the appropriate specs.

If it's just for backup, I can't imagine why anyone would use an SSD. Buy hard drives. At least they have a better reputation of clinging to the bits when powered off, unlike marginal QLC SSD's.

OK thanks guys

I have a variety of PC's at my house running Windows 10 and many came from Win7 or 8.1, via upgrades. Now I'm building a Windows 11 PC brand new from parts... Is there a way to use one of those licenses to get me Windows 11? Or is there a cheap <$200 way to buy Windows 11 Pro? The catch is I...

That VIA chipset board is not worth keeping IMO. The CPU is though. Makes for a good Win98 retro machine with a better board.

Funny I was just going to write something about this - one of the best Celerons every made. I have this exact setup on my retro Win98 box. ASUS P2B-B with a Tualatin Celeron at 1.4Ghz but only 100FSB. Gotta love that Powerleap PL-IP3/T v2.0...

EISA, Microchannel... that would be a fun topic for another thread. "The worst architecture or motherboard of all time" Taking away those oddballs, I'd have to say anything with a VIA KT266.

Funny how we remember things differently. Those were just faster 386SX chips - 32-bit CPU over 16-bit bus. I actually sold computers at a store back then (college) and some Leading Edge desktops came with a 486SLC from the factory. The computers were cheap$ and cheaply made. For the price...

To each their own. I block ALL that stuff. PiHole and such allow you to do blocklists for devices that cannot support a client.

It's gonna be hard to find something worse than a Cyrix Cx486SLC. I mean, they were glorified 16-bit 386SX style processors but with worse compatibility. Not only were they objectively bad, but marketing deception on top of that.

Yeah, same but different. Peter Norton was always a good guy, but Symantec makes bad products. John McAfee is a bad guy, but the company is still decent. Funny.

Yeah I know...but I meant his name has been dragged through countless bad Symantec products since then. I'm surprised they still want to latch onto that since "Norton" now has bad reputation. Norton Utilities for DOS was fantastic. Norton A/V hasn't been good since those days either.

It's funny they still throw around poor Peter Norton's name. It doesn't exactly inspire confidence anymore.
