    What's the typical lifespan of a SOHO type WiFi router? Has my router bit it?

    I've been using an Asus RT-AC66R for some time now. Been reputable and I keep the f/w up to date. I don't think I'm having issues with Comcast but wondering about my RT-AC66R. Suddenly no access to the internet via ethernet or WiFi. It's random and seems to happen during the day but I'm not...

    Lost access to Seagate BlackArmor NAS 220

After doing this I spotted what looked like a HDD error reported form the NAS OS and then...

    Cannot hit 2560x1600 - Dell 3007WFP and Dell Optiplex 980

    From the research I have done I should be able to hit 2560x1600 with this equipment. But, it maxes at 1280x800. I have tried using the old ATI Radeon HD 3400 with a Dual Link DVI cable. I switched to the DisplayPort using a Display to DVI with the dual link cable but still hit 1280x800...

    Been running this about five years now OC'd at 3.83Ghz with no issues. A friend bought a nicer video card and is willing to sell the Sapphire Radeon R9 270 cheap. Maybe a years use on it.

    Curious to find out what the best mod is. Getting a little frustrated with the updates since 4.1.2 (actually back on my S3). Things seem to function better (along with recognizing different docks and which app to run for specific dock) then. Or maybe it's the Samsung GUI (TouchWiz).
