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.

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...

Upgraded the connection to 100Mbps

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.

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. Now I am planning to upgrade my internet connection to 100mbps and I am wondering, whether it would actually...

Paying US$ 12.4 a month for this, no FUP limits.

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

Installed Comodo Firewall to replace Windows' and also rebuilt TCP/IP stack, and it still stopped working. Once again while watching video.

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.

I can't ping websites, haven't yet tried IPs, will try them when it occurs again.

I have recently bought a TP-LINK TL-WR841N 300Mbps Wireless N Router and I am facing a unique issue. Internet stops working intermittently on my desktop, which is connected through LAN to my router. I can ping the router and I can access router’s admin page. Internet on WiFi connected devices...

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...

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...

That is likely not available here in India. Right now thinking about going in for Asus DSL-N10E.

Guys need recommendation for an ADSL2 Wifi Router. Don't need much range as of now, but I need something which is reliable and is relatively secure i.e. no security bugs and regular firmware updates in case of bugs/security holes. At the moment I only have a workstation, a laptop, couple of...

Using DNSMadeEasy for a few months now, pretty good service and easy to use and implement. Best thing is, since it is distributed, for a Global audience (in our case) gets faster DNS resolution, in comparison to own hosted DNS servers. Additionally, it just off loads another security liability...

Have a look at joesdatacenter, pretty good option for US$ 6 a month. As far as colocating goes, only makes sense if you have a beefy server, else you can get a low end dedicated box for less than US$ 25 these days.

Awdark Actually I already have an external 1TB Seagate, but I am looking to use that as a weekly or fortnight backup device and build something I can backup to on a regular basis. Grausch thanks, will call up HP and see what price they quote. Though I have a feeling, this will likely end up...

I have been contemplating building a low power file/backup server for home, which would essentially be utilized to back up my desktop, laptop, phone, tablet and remote LAMP server on a daily basis (backing up phone and tablet isn’t a priority). I have a few options in mind for this: 1...

E5-2690 = 16,609 E5-2687W = 16,304 http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html So essentially, slightly faster and more energy efficient processor for higher cost, makes sense especially when you would be putting 2 of these in a server which are going to run 24x7 in probably a cluster which...

Check out Godaddy, normally you can find 30% off coupon for them on several website.

Go with Apache or if in case you want something light and fast, download the basic version of Litespeed server. It is easy to manage, picks up apache configuration and there is no need to change any rewrite rules for it.

Awesome stuff and hats off to you!

I need recommendation for 1TB external hdd, which I plan to use with my desktop for backing up photographs. Essentially I am looking at USB 2/3 drives, which could possible come with folder monitoring software to automatically backup the files updated in select folders, once the external drive...

Here is my desktop after Windows 7 upgrade.

Here is mine, only occasionally there are any files on the desktop (which need frequent edits).
