    Is my modem or router not up to the task?

    I will try this sub-forum for my question: Yesterday I installed a second Nest Cam and it greatly affected web browsing, a lot of pages would not load on the first try. I turned the camera on and off to verify it's the culprit. My upload bandwith is 10Mbps and each Nest cam uses about 1 Mbps...

    Is my modem or router not up to the task?

    Yesterday I installed a second Nest Cam and it greatly affected web browsing, a lot of pages would not load on the first try. I turned the camera on and off to verify it's the culprit. My upload bandwith is 10Mbps and each Nest cam uses about 1 Mbps for upload, so this is not the bottleneck...

    It's by our department policy, I contacted MikroTIk a couple of months ago for one of their 24 port Gigabit switches, and they told me it's made in China.

    MB option for a budget workstation w/ ECC RAM

    No, entry-level chipset is fine, as long as ECC RAM works. My only reason for going with a higher level chipset is for the higher quality design they use, like better electrical noise suppression. In terms of reliability for MB, is Asus still one of the top?

    MB option for a budget workstation w/ ECC RAM

    I guess workstation is not the best term as it usually refers to a machine for rendering/computing, it's more for monitoring and logging but we want to minimize downtime.

    MB option for a budget workstation w/ ECC RAM

    I am looking to build a workstation for $700-800, speed is not important as it's mainly for monitoring/logging data 24/7. I want to go with ECC RAM to minimize downtime, what are my options?

    Good news, I found the cause, it's NordVPN. I used Norton removal tool to remove Norton but the problem stayed. Then I removed NordVPN and it's gone.

    Not able to connect to printer, wifi router

    Well, VPN is for connecting out right? Why would the machine be able to connect to the internal (wifi router, printer) if I am behind VPN?

    Not able to connect to printer, wifi router

    Interestingly I have a laptop at home with same config (Win10 with Norton) and that one had no problem access the printer, wifi router. For my desktop it worked in safe mode and also worked with Norton disabled in services (not load at startup). The last time I tried to access the printer from...

    Today when I was trying to print a document from the home printer (I rarely use the printer at home) I found out that it's off the network, furthermore I could not connect to the wifi router (192.168.1.1). But it worked when I booted to safe mode w/networking (I am using Win10). I am using...

    Ryzen or Core for budget built (non-game)

    Thanks for all the ideas. Lately I've been keeping an eye on Slickdeals for refurbished units on Ebay, but I have not completely ruled out a new build either. Is it true that AM4 will support the next generation AMD CPUs?

    Ryzen or Core for budget built (non-game)

    Not sure if this is the right place to post it, I am going to build a PC (around $400) for work, and the most CPU intensive application I will use is handbrake encoding. If I go with Ryzen I would need to get a discreet GPU, so I wonder if I put that money in an Intel processor would it yield...

    Any better 16:10 monitors besides U2415?

    Recently I purchased the Dell U2415 to replace my 11-year old Eizo 4:3 monitor in my office. I picked 16:10 mainly for productivity and it's PWM-free backlighting. While this is a good monitor I feel the contrast can be a bit higher (~850 measured using i1DP as opposed to 1000 in the specs) and...

    What's a good 32'' 1440p display?

    I am looking for a 32'' 1440p display under $800, (4K seems still too expensive, unless a 4k TV happen to offer better viewing experience then I may reconsider) what's a popular choice here? It's mainly for general viewing, less for gaming. I was looking at Asus PB328Q, it has good reviews with...

    Which cloud solution for internal hosting?

    Does owncloud have direct integration with Google, Microsoft and Apple office applications (mainly word, excel and powerpoint)? In words can clients open/save their work directly to owncloud? It's something that Dropbox and Google Drive are already able to do, but unfortunately neither one...

    Which cloud solution for internal hosting?

    Well, it's mainly for providing storage space for cross-platform applications. For example the clients can save documents to a cloud server hosted by us, whether it's MS Word on iMac, or Google Docs on Android tablet. Our current setup involves a Mac Pro server (10.8) managing a group of iMacs...
