    Worthy Upgrades from Old Modem

    I'm not sure what Charter is doing post-merger, but I know TWC was essentially halving the available speeds from what the modems are capable of doing. If you have 100Mbps service, you will want to get at least an 8 channel downstream modem, 16 or higher would be better, just in case things change.

    Learning BSD vs Linux from scratch.

    It's not that bad. Use Nvidia GPU, be very picky on your wi-fi card or just use Ethernet, and all is well. There have been huge gains recently in support for GCN AMD GPU and post Haswell Intel IGP. Software wise, there isn't anything for "normal" desktop usage you can run on Linux that you...

    I went for a T7200 processor. Just came in the mail today, and the great news is - it works! Now to see if there are any heat problems.

    4w increase in TDP a problem in Laptop?

    Looking at upgrading an old laptop from a Core Duo to a Core 2 Duo. This laptop does have socketed processors, and can take an upgrade, and I have disassembled plenty of laptops for repair and upgrade before, so we can get those caveats out of the way. When I have upgraded processors on...

    Rubio: No abortions for Zika-infected women

    And yet, research is showing that the mass concentration of Microencephaly is very geographically specific. Many Zika infected pregnant women outside of that geographic region are having babies with no problems. The incidents of Microencephaly is statistically insignificant.

    Missouri's head public defender assigns case to Gov. Nixon, cites overburdened staff

    The guy refusing to fund this is an incompetent moron. Not the most incompetent gov. that MO has had in my lifetime, but the most damaging one. The state legislature is very conservative, and overwhelmingly "R" but they authorized funding that the Gov. isn't releasing to be used. The problem...

    How to convince first-time builder of gaming system to stay away from AMD FX-8320

    Then what's the deal with Intel saying 1 DIMM per channel with the H110, and 2 on the other chipsets? I'm a little confused here obviously.

    How to convince first-time builder of gaming system to stay away from AMD FX-8320

    Shudders at the thought - H110 means single channel memory instead of dual channel, which has been the standard for years. Why would you want to cripple your performance that much for a gaming system?

    Is there a reason to change the gateway from .1 to .254?

    Some routers will only allow the DHCP pool to start after the address of the gateway. Not a good design, but something to watch out for. Essentially, that would shut off DHCP if you set the gateway address to .254

    How to convince first-time builder of gaming system to stay away from AMD FX-8320

    What's up with recommending a H110 for a gaming machine? Only 1 DIMM per channel, so will be very restricted on memory bandwidth. The B150 and H170 motherboards are not much more, and offer much better features/performance.

    My wired connection is slower than the wireless.

    only if you exceed the maximum length in the Ethernet specification, which is 100 meters. Cabling issue is going to be poor connectors, smashed or kinked cable, etc., not signal degradation over length.

    Crucial MX200 Performance with new Firmware

    I was referring specifically to the issues discovered here: http://anandtech.com/show/9258/crucial-mx200-250gb-500gb-1tb-ssd-review Specifically the issues with the 250GB version that seem traced to the DWA, as that is the size of drive I am looking to buy.

    So what alternatives are to x86? A bit of OpenPOWER...

    The key to this issue is the applications. Trying to make ARM or POWER8 do the same thing that x86 does, only "better" will not work. Why has ARM gained such a marketshare in computing devices? Because the application that ARM serves is completely different. ARM works great in phone and...

    how to set up a network

    Sounds like someone's homework assignment. If it isn't, I suggest calling a professional IT company to recommend a setup for you, as if you have to ask these types of questions (what software to run on network, what hardware do I need) then it really is beyond your scope to setup reliably for...

    best way to set up an office network

    Looks good to me, but PliotronX makes a good point. What is the make and model of the cable modem? Lot's of them, especially business class from the ISP are modem only, but some are gateways themselves, and can give a sub-optimal situation. However, if everything is working without issue...

    WiFi and Ethernet giving me an unusual issue

    Out of the box thinking here, but I've been seeing it a lot at my support job. Do you have satellite TV service? Lots of the Satellite services are using a DHCP server that conflicts with normal network/internet activity. Also, check the IP address on your Ethernet connections, if it is good...

    probably a stupid question(firewall related)

    Firewalls typically come in two flavors - fully customizable, and basic presets. Most of your home grade routers are of the basic preset type. They will have a basic packet filter and intrusion detection. If you want more security than that, you will have settings like low, medium, high, with...

    NFS...SMB...lost

    If you are running Unix/BSD/Linux server and client, use NFS. NFS works better in an all *nix environment, is faster, more secure, easier to configure. NFS is native, so no 3rd party clients needed to use it on those systems, as there is with connecting or serving SMB. If anything in the mix...

    What do you guys think of this setup?

    The only officially supported device you can purchase for phone service is the TG862G. As a basic home router, it is fine, but has limitations if you want to do anything advanced. The wi-fi is limited to 2.4Ghz N mode, and you can't bridge the thing, unless Comcast does it for you (good luck)...

    I don't post much anymore buuuttt what's a good Comcast/Xfinity router?

    Don't know where you got your information about the SB6141 only supporting DOCSIS 2.0, but it was false. Unless you are paying for more than 300Mbps, it would be a great product. I'd use it myself, but I have phone service through Comcast, so have to use a different product.

    I don't post much anymore buuuttt what's a good Comcast/Xfinity router?

    There is nothing that is DOCSIS 3.1 right now. All devices are extensions of DOCSIS 3.0. The SB6141 is 100% a DOCSIS 3.0 modem. Big question for you - do you use Comcast's phone service? If so, you are very limited in the devices you will be able to use. @Sho'Nuff There is only one device...

    DHCP problems with Motorola SurfBoard WiFi modems and DISH/DirecTV equipment

    Best thing I have come up with is that these satellite boxes are trying to act as DHCP servers, and use the same default subnet as the Motorola/ARRIS devices of 192.168.0.x. It is common for people to report IP address conflict errors until they contact the satellite company to reconfigure the...

If she is just needing Word...

    Cheap(er) CPU for HTPC

    Not really sure about the tv tuner yet. I've looked at the Hauppauge dual tuners, but have also seen some mini PCIe tuners that would save space. I plan on recording directly to the network drive over gigabit ethernet. For a keyboard, I already have a Logitech K400, which works well for my...

    Internet issues since new location or router

    Good signal levels. Some home have a "trap" installed that is designed to keep neighbors from hooking into your cable and getting free TV. These can cause nasty problems. Since the problems normally occur during peak times, it is likely an issue with the node not handling the increase in...

    IP Conflict or just one network showing up on computer

    By chance do you have DirecTV or Dish TV? I have had lots of customers that have a similar problem, and it is caused by the Genie or Hopper trying to be its own WAP/DHCP server. Turn off the Genie or Hopper, and the network immediately works great.

    The AnandTech Introduction Thread: Get To Know Your Peers
