    Question Why is my friends internet so slow on my network?

    He is still hardwired into my router with a Cat 6 cable that is 100 ft (I know there is a little drop off) but still going to the same router that is hardwired into his PC (though the desktop is an i5 3570 and the built in network in the motherboard might only be 100Mbps at that age) but still...

    Question Why is my friends internet so slow on my network?

    I live in a Class C motorhome and have approx. 400+mbps internet. My router supports up to gigabit internet and for me I get the full 400mbps to my desktop hardwired in. My friend lives in a 5th wheel RV and has a Cat 6 cable that is 100 ft long going to his RV from my router and he has the...

    Question It works but what the heck is going on?

    Long story short...bought an NVME and decided to reinstall Win11 on it. So during install I formatted old SSD with previous Win 11 (didn't want any hickups)...once OS was installed under my computer that SSD no longer shows up in the OS (but does show up under "disk management") and though the...

    Laptop suggestions for a business friend...

    Thanks for all that have looked at this post so far. Also my friend is looking for a laptop that can project multiple monitors. From what I have read that requires Thunderbolt 3 or an adaptive device. He is also wanting a laptop that can open pdfs, spreadsheets, etc...but I told him that is...

    Laptop suggestions for a business friend...

    A friend of mine is looking for a laptop (mainly business in the insurance industry) and he is getting crappy advice and I'm trying to help him. I told him i7 or Ryzen 7000+ or above, 32 gigs of ram expandable (if needed), NVME harddrive (no SSD or mechanical hd), dedicated graphics so it...

    Question Nvme adapter on old motherboard?

    I have a GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 mobo with an i5 2500k oced (the mobo doesn't support NVME). Win 10 is on a regular 240gig SSD. I'm wanting to use a nvme adapter card with a 970 evo just as extra storage for certain games so I don't deal with that much "hitching" since most games are installed on a...

    Router monitoring software (preferably free)

    Thanks for the reply! I just told him NO, he was bummed but understood....he drinks heavy at times (prefers alcohol to having internet) and might forget and go back to his old ways.

    Router monitoring software (preferably free)

    First off I used the "search" function but didn't find what I'm looking for. I have internet at my place and my neighbor across the street is on disability and can't afford it (but can pick up my signal). I want to help him out but he has a past history of downloading questionable things....I...

    Question Installing Win10 when chipset drivers only go to Win7

    I try not to use those programs often...agree with "getting what I deserve" but the motherboard website didn't have anything for Win 10. Otherwise I've been building computers since the 486 days and would build a computer about every 1-2 years since then but current setup has lasted me this...

    Question Installing Win10 when chipset drivers only go to Win7

    Wish I had the money but my i5 2500k at 4.2 with an RX470 is still doing me fine for now.

    Question Installing Win10 when chipset drivers only go to Win7

    Z68 (Intel motherboard Z68ma-d2h-b3 gigabyte) with an i5 2500k oced to 4.2 I installed win 10 no problem and ran Driver Boaster and it found other old drivers but wants me to pay for other drivers. Going to try and download a game and see how it runs. No problems in device manager.
