Alas the MSRP will be out of reach for many!

If purchased from the Amazon Renewed Store does that negate the manufacturer's 1-year warrantee?

Not to rain on your plans but you would need some very precise soldering and specialized gear, not to mention the skills to replace a chipset on a mobo.

Seasonic has been my fav for years now with their excellent long warranties and tight spec's. Pick one that meets your power requirements (wattage) and enjoy.

I'm over there now and working on that, tks.

I did my first install of Unraid to a Dell R720 (LFF) last night and was hoping for an easy job, alas not. Hard drive configuration is as follows. Two 250Gb SSD's, to be used as cache, one 8Tb and four 2Tb hard drives, all SATA. It is my understanding that this will work for starters but I will...

The VPN will slow all traffic down when using it as that is the nature of VPN encrypted traffic. If you have a managed switch and are savvy enough you can route Utorrent through the VPN and "other applications" unencrypted. The easy route would be to just use an A/B switch.

Yes, no power in the box. The Modem is around the corner in another room actually. The three feeds come into through the back. I have to plan ahead as this room (unfinished basement) is getting finished within a few months and I need to have access to all of this still of course.

I have a network/coaxial cable termination box in my garage. The three white 5e cables come from the AT&T modem/router. Three runs from the simple punch down box were pulled and were spliced into three blue Cat 5e cables that run to each room. These were used for the AP's that AT&T did. I am...

Well they get blocked more often for starters. I like unbiased reviews also, not paid commentators, etc.

Thanks but those searches are heavily biased towards the big names.

Yes but looking for recommendation on a new one.

Yeah, I thinking my VPN provider just put me in a slower queue to remind me to renew service. My original post maybe wasn't clear but what I am looking for is a better VPN provider. The one I have now seems slow with a lot of overhead as I just got fiber and see it a lot more. One that can send...

Hello all, I temporarily moved to Italy for three years for work and have been using a VPN router solution through WiTopia which has been meeting my needs for geo fencing purposes. The main router is from my ISP and works well enough. The VPN router is an Asus RT-AC66U with a DD-WRT Buffalo...
