I ended up getting a AP AC-Lite and running it into my Asus Router. A single unit on the upper level seems to be plenty. Thanks for showing me these exist!

Hmm - I like this, my understanding is this would essentially make it seem like it's just 1 network in the house? How involved is this to setup? I am fairly weak when it comes to networking setup..... Out of curiosity, is there an alternate option that would use my existing router? It is a...

Hi Guys, I have a wireless router in my basement, and am having difficulties getting a strong signal on my upper level (2 story house + basement). When I did renovations a couple years ago I actually fished an Ethernet cable from the basement to the top floor. Can you recommend me a...

These benefits seem to be only for the device connected remotely to the vpn. If it is connected in my case locally it doesn't seem to do much for me. Or am I missing something?

Hi Guys I just setup a vpn on my asus rt-n66u router. I used ddns as my ISP provides dynamic up address. I followed the manufacturers setup instructions and it seems to be setup. I think I was under the wrong thinking in regards to a vpn. I was looking to set it up so I could have...

I am very new to RAID and servers in general, based on my knowledge I think I will just go with a RAID 1 with 2 sets of 2 drives. I will most likely have a couple extra drives that I would like hooked up as well. So total would max out at 6. Edit: It also looks like it may be important...

Suggestions on a mobo/CPU/ram combo for the server if I go the replacement route?

Thank you for feeling my pain.

Do you think I should be concerned with this damaging any components?

It is 100% coming from the HDMI cable via the cable box, as I unplugged everything else. The HDMI switch does not actually have any power adapter. So the power is running through the video card, into the motherboard, and to the fans....

Bump?

Thanks Fenris. I do have various hard drives, and will most likely utilize a RAID setup in the future. So I shouldn't be combining these two due to energy considerations?

Hi Guys I would like to build a HTPC/Server. What I would like this to do: - Play Media to my HDTV (will be hooked up directly via HDMI) - Store Media - Backup of files from all devices - Ability to remote into it - Future ability to add security cameras and be able to view them...

Hi guys I have an hdmi switch with a cable box and PC hooked up to the inputs. The cable box is always on (dvr) and it is powering lights on my fans, and even slightly rotating some fans on the PC. The hdmi is plugged into my vid card. Do I have any options here besides unplugging the PCs...
