Question Help: HDD not spinning down, Win11

And like that, I solved it. I reset windows, keeping just my files and wiping everything else out. Though interestingly, some settings were retained and driver files seemed to as well. Reset, reinstalled the few programs I use, and reloaded the AMD chipset and GFX drivers. It took awhile...

Question Help: HDD not spinning down, Win11

I've been dealing with some HDD bug-a-boos. I built a new home server. The old one, Celeron G1610 based finally got retired. I hadn't realized it until very recently after I already decided to replace it, that the RAID array was never spinning down. So my two Seagate 7200rpm 3TB drives. From...

Question Creating RAID0 volume using existnig boot drive without reinstall

A couple of reasons. It is slightly cheaper then just getting a new drive that is larger (I don't have a particular use for the 240GB drive otherwise). Likely a bit more performant than a single SATA drive in a lot of workloads. A bit easier management than having separate drives. I guess I...

Question Creating RAID0 volume using existnig boot drive without reinstall

So, I've tried to do poking around the internet. Usually I have much more success, but I guess the coffee hasn't kicked in this morning and I am failing at the right search terms. I've got a Z77 MoBo if it helps in terms of the Intel RAID features. Win10 Pro. I am running a 240gb SSD and I'd...

Wndr4500 slow 2.4ghz band

You mention "phone". What phone. Also how is the WNDR4500 setup? Auto 2.4GHz? A number of phones use only 20MHz on the 2.4GHz band. In most cases, especially if you have anyone near you, auto 20/40 on a router will set it to 20MHz on 2.4GHz. So getting ~50Mbps sounds about right if you are...

Dual SSID on home network with one filtered for kids

No. You don't have to setup network isolation. Many newer routers have the option to set routing/DNS by which network is being used. So you just set the DNS for the guest network to use OpenDNS and set the main network to ISP or Goggle's DNS as an example. Or for that matter, almost all...

Adding detached garage to home network

Since is a repeater, you are halving the bandwidth because the repeater spends half its time receiving the signal from the client, and then the other half retransmitting it back to the router. If you have 39Mbps speeds, figure you'll lose roughly half of that due to wireless overhead...

When will we replace 8P8C/RJ45 plugs by something small and nice? Compare USB Type-C

Very much. In my >>>20 years of networking, I've had tabs break on me, maybe 3 or 4 times and mostly when I was a teenager and horribly impatient. I've never had a port break on me. I did have a connector pin break inside a wall port once...because my 3 year old was digging in it with a pen...

Many newer routers allow you to filter just the guest network. Just look at the features of some of the newer modestly high end routers (AC1750+) and should be able to figure it out pretty quick.

Can this be made to work??....

Can't you just change the IP of the printer to the 192 range? That would be the simple solution.

Electrical Shock from Ethernet Cable

It means something is grounding, which is not good and I'd look outside of the electrical cable. The cable is just providing a proper ground path. That something else is improperly leaking to ground.

how to monitor a public network?

Correct. Term has been in use as applied to wireless for, err, well I've seen it used for a couple of decades (long before GitS, just so we are clear).

Monolog vs Dialog

It makes sense to bring it up, because the OP was asking specifically about monolog and dialog. Another user brought up the half-duplex and full duplex thing...which has nothing to do with it, I was pointing out the difference. It is a protocol thing that determines monolog/dialog, not the...

Splitting cat 6 cable

Yeah, 100Base-TX, 1000Base-T and 10GIGBASE-T are all full duplex. That means they can pass 100/1,000/10,000Mbps of traffic in each direction at the same time.

Monolog vs Dialog

Not really. I wouldn't call UDP a half-duplex technology. I'd call it a monolog. TCP/IP is a dialog, because it requires packets to be sent both directions to work. UDP and TCP/IP can both be operated on half-duplex or full duplex links. UDP is optional monolog as many applications that...
