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...
So I ended up getting a corsair cx430m.
I am now inclined to go the two system route...
My next obstacle is the fact my onboard NIC on the gigabyte mobo is shot. Any recommendations for a cheap NIC card I should be using in a server?
Thanks
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....
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...
Minimal research, I had an idea...
As for the AC, I saw that there, however I don't think I would really use those speeds at this point... and not sure how I feel about jumping in on that early...
Hopefully I don't regret saying that anytime soon.
Got fed up with my current router and basically took a chance while I was out. I have heard good things about the ASUS routers so I went with one.
RT-N66U
What can I do with it? (besides basic wireless networks)
We have 2 desktops, 2 laptops, 3 phones, 1 tablets... Usually 2-3...
I finished this awhile back and really should have put an update on here... picture quality is poor, my bad. I also don't have pictures of everything but this should still give you a good idea of the build.
1. Power/Reset/LED motherboard lead cables recycled from an old case.
2. Soldered...
Hey Guys,
I have a small ITX Biostar TH61 ITX. When using HDMI I get a display on bootup and the windows loading screen but then it cuts out. When I hook a normal monitor up with DVI as well to see what's going on... Windows does not detect the secondary monitor (HDMI (19" 720p TV)). I...
So I have ordered the following:
$73 PICOPSU-150-XT with 102w power brick
$80 BIOSTAR TH61ITX
$85 Intel G860 CPU
I'll start posting some pics soon. I have the bottom cleared out. I'm contemplating keeping the mobo completely enclosed and running a small male to female HDMI cord from...
I think that 120w looks reasonable.
So it looks like I'll go with:
$68 - Intel Pentium G630 CPU
$85 - BIOSTAR TH61ITX+RCH LGA 1155 Intel H61 mITX Motherboard
$19 - G.Skill F3-10666CL9S-2GBNT 4GB DDR3 1333 RAM
$65 - 120W Mini ITX Power Supply Kit PicoPSU 120
Any other suggestions...
Not too worried about mounting it, I think I'll be fine.
I'm really having a hard time picking a PSU... The Pico-PSU's are far and few between and can get very costly with the AC-DC Adapter...
cool.
One other note... I am forced to use a Mini ITX PSU as well. There is no way an ATX one will fit in there with other components. Any suggestions on those? There are slim pickings.
Hi Guys,
I want to build a system to play emulators and put it inside of an NES case so I'm looking at a mini-itx motherboard and other small parts... Also I have heard its better to have a higher clocked single core when using emulators instead of lower clocked multiple cores? Can anyone...
Looking for a monitor, I play games quite a bit, I currently have an hp 20" LCD and it's starting to lose brightness and just isn't big enough.
What do you guys recommend? I'm in Canada btw
Thanks,
Foz
The thing is its doing even after a factory reset w/o installing any apps.... so I don't think it should be doing it after that correct? There has to be something wrong with it. Still waiting on ASUS to get back to me..
