Question WiFi slow load only for iOS devices

I'm at a loss because I really don't know iOS devices, but I'm hoping someone can help me out. First, I'm on Comcast 200Mbps speed with my own Netgear C7100V serving as cable modem and wifi. WiFi loading and performance are all good on my Galaxy S10+, a Chromebook, and a Windows laptop. No...

Question First time building network cables

Thanks for the help guys, it ends up that it was trial and error until I got it right. I won't admit to how many errors it took to get a perfectly functioning cable on both ends, but I eventually got there. I totally understand why people just buy patch cables now instead of making their own. I...

Question First time building network cables

During these stay-at-home days, I decided to pull Cat6 through my walls to a couple of rooms. The pull and wiring the jacks went better than expected, when I quickly tested with a couple of store-bought patch cables everything connected at gigabit speeds and I was able to transfer to between my...

Question Add a router just for DHCP?

I'm in the process of moving in with someone, and looking to merge technologies between households. I'm more tech savy, and all she cares about is reliable operation. My old setup - I used No-IP to for my Plex server and a TP-Link Archer C7 router. With the C7 router, I was able to not only...

Question Anyone regularly use RDP in a home environment?

I currently have 3 Win10 computers: 1) A desktop 3570K; 2) Plex & SageTV server Athlon X4-845; 3) HTPC AMD A10-7700K. I'm moving soon and I'm starting to question the need for all these Win10 computers. I can get rid of the HTPC by using an Nvidia Shield. What I'm debating is upgrading the...

Google. Really? Another one?

Yeah, this kind of stuff has always bothered me about Google. Whether it it be Hangouts, Allo, etc. They always take half-measure attempts at something, get people on board, then give up and move on to the next half measure attempt. My brother is on iPhone, but the rest of my family is on...

AMD A10 7700K Dual Graphics

I bought a 7700k with an ASROCK A88X board just over a year ago as an HTPC. A looked a little into the dual graphics feature, and as I recall, it only works with the R7 240 or R7 250. In any case, dual graphics is really not cost effective. I've decided if I need more GPU, I'm better off just...

APU Wars - Ongoing APU Review by AtenRa

Wow, I just built my 7700k HTPC last weekend and apparently need to try decreasing my voltage some more. I was able to overclock the iGPU to 800Mhz easily, but still running vCore @ 1.25. Since I'm running the stock cooler, my main interest is dropping voltage but maintaining stock clocks...

Samsung S3 vs Evo 4G LTE vs LG Optimus G?

I'll echo ChrisKim and suggest you stick with the G2, and I can say you don't want to downgrade to an Optimus G. I upgraded from the Optimus G (AT&T version) to the G2 (also AT&T) earlier this year. I'm really happy I'm on the G2 now. The OG has barely adequate battery life, and most folks...

How far have smartphones come in 2+ years?

I'll chime in with everyone else. In the past few months I upgraded from a nearly 3-yr old Samsung captivate to an LG Optimus G (great phone going for cheap now). From a spec standpoint, your droid charge seems equivalent to my Captivate and I'll say the upgrade to a current phone has been...

Holy cow. Straight Talk AT&T sim card prices are insane!

Thanks ImDonly. I went ahead and bought 5 Net10 sims for $5. It's a small investment for peace of mind. Once I pull the trigger on a new phone I'll try cutting my current sim down. If I mess it up, I've got 5 Net10 cards to work with.

Holy cow. Straight Talk AT&T sim card prices are insane!

I'm also looking for advice on this whole Net10/ST/AT&T fiasco. I'm using ST on the AT&T network. I've got no complaints/problems and I prefer AT&T because my work takes me to remote locations with AT&T coverage but not T-Mo. 1. What's the deal with Net10 and AT&T sims? Net10 doesn't appear to...

Mass Effect 3 to get a proper ending via free DLC

Fastest processor for KT133 motherboard?

Mass Effect 3 to get a proper ending via free DLC

I don't think anyone wants to take expression away from the artists. However, I don't think you can change your art form at the conclusion of a ~100-hr trilogy and expect people not to tell you it sucks. ME3's ending literally breaks gameplay, lore, and characters that have been built over three...
