I want to do this because I have a workstation in my home that does a lot of things such as file server, plex server, media shares, etc. I don't need this machine on at night sucking power but like to make sure it's available during the day for any of the services I have it setup to provide to...
Hi folks. I have about 3 computers in my house that currently run 24/7. I'm thinking this is probably not good for power saving so I'm trying to figure out a way to have those computers only on during certain hours. I'm looking for a way to have them sleep and wake on a schedule I set so they...
And yes everything is definitely wired...
So I think my issue was that I was using Server 2012 before chopped up for workstation use. I reinstalled with win8 today and it looks like these problems have resolved. Also did tons of network transfer tests all were at least 100MBps to my HTPC. I...
I could probably try it right to the htpc ad see how that goes. I'll have to run another cable if that's the fix I suppose. Any thoughts on the vudu playback? Is it worth replacing my card?
Its definitely not the network. I get 80 - 150 MBps throughput. Topology is file server to Asus rt-n66u to dlink Gbit switch to the htpc. Weird right? I would get the same kind of stutter using my wdtv as well with the big mkv files but when I play them locally they're fine. Is it possible the...
Hi folks. I'm toying around with an HTPC again for fun and I am using my GeForce 210 with the HDMI out and the audio out from the HDMI as well. I notice the following:
HTPC: Dell Vostro 220 | Core 2 Duo 7400 | 4GB RAM | Win8 x64 | Windows Drive on SSD and Data drive 2 x 160GB SATA2 RAID0...
okay so there is no real different technology used or error correction that makes using 5Ghz better. It's just a different frequency that's not as popular yet so it's less cluttered but has some drawbacks in itself. If I test both from the same area and the 2.4 is faster than I should stick...
Hi folks. So I'm a bit confused about what is so great about the 5Ghz wireless. I have a dual band router and I have always used the 2.4 band. This is because I did testing about a year ago and determined that all the places in my house that I use my wireless on a regular basis produce less...
