dns problems: multiple sites, dcs, subnets, and roaming laptops

I believe that is your problem, the A record for the root DC may either be invalid, or your DNS settings aren't allowing the changes to replicate from the primary DC. This is probably why you are having to manually update the records at the other sites. I would check the basic DNS settings to...

Win 8 Laptop drops connection-TKIP the culprit??

Yep, it really does sound like a router issue. Home routers are notoriously varied in quality and reliability. If his laptop could consistently stay connected to other WAPs, regardless of encryption, then that's the nail in the coffin--the router is bad. Of course, that means getting more...

[Help] Building my own router

Learning linux is more valuable than learning cisco routers unless you are a "cisco guy". Sure, he could learn static routes and private routing too in linux, but how valuable is that to someone who just wants a simple home setup? Let's push a home user into a brand-specific course because...

WAP Configuration in retail environment?

Agreed, make sure the ASUS router has QoS features or traffic shaping capabilities. If you want guest WiFi users to only have access to the internet and not the LAN ports on the router, then be sure to enable wireless isolation. This should keep your wired devices secure from malicious...

Win 8 Laptop drops connection-TKIP the culprit??

TKIP is handled by the NIC, or at least it should be. If not, the encryption is being handed off to the OS. Regardless, TKIP is an old standard and has been around for a while. As such, it is well supported as far as available interoperability is concerned--Windows 8 will support it. It's...

[Help] Building my own router

If you want a fun project, download Ubuntu Server and use a dual-nic setup. Setup masquerading and NAT, as well as DHCP and DNS daemons. If you're new to linux it will take you some time, but there's plenty of good step-by-step documentation out there for setting up an ubuntu server router...

[THW] Review Samples vs Retail R9290x boards(large differences)

The stock cooler has been universally reviewed as being crap. It's not in the same league as Nvidia's blower. Sad considering it's a good card. The same will go with the 780 Ti though, all the custom PCBs will be clocked faster and I'm sure will do at least 5% more than the base cards, if not...

GTX 780 or R9 290 for 1080p gaming

I don't think there will be 780 GHz edition, but the EVGA 780 OC w/ ACX is really fast, basically as fast as a Titan. Not sure on price where you are. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that your GPU targets are a bit high in terms of performance for 1080p, a bit overkill. The 780 is...

Second 7970 Ghz or 290x?

To get max FPS on a 1440p monitor with max settings you'll need dual GPU or 290(X). There's a couple answers to your questions, so let's start with the first: 1. Frame Pacing: Frame pacing has already been fixed for single display setups and DX11 games, since you have a 1440p monitor, you...
