    Technane got a reaction from Overlandr in Home garden WiFi advice   
    How far does the Wifi already reach into your garden? use something like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer&hl=en_GB

    to see, as it might simply be a case of updating the channel you are using now.
     
    Ubiquiti sounds a bit overkill for this. as all you really need to do is add either Repeater or Antenna to the outside of your house. but that all depends if you have a a router that has external antena that you can unscrew? 

    essentially the other point that needs to be made, Wifi works much better outdoors than it does indoor, so an access point like this 
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wireless-Waterproof-Installation-Controller-EAP110-Outdoor/dp/B01N4EGN6H
    will more than likely completely flood your garden if you put it up high enough on the outside of the house, does need cabeling and if poss POE, 
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wireless-Waterproof-Installation-Controller-EAP110-Outdoor/dp/B01N4EGN6H

    so essentially you run a network cable to the wall facing the garden, plug it into that POE switch, then run a cable from that POE switch too the AP, so about £80 for your hardware + cable, if you can terminate CAT 5 Then Cool just get some indoor cable for the Router to Switch part, and some outdoor for the Switch to AP part. 
     
    CAT5 isnt actually that hard to terminate if you have the correct tools 

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Crimping-Stripper-Connection-Connectors-Ethernet/dp/B06WW4SQB9
     
    this is probably the clearest diagram, you cable both ends the same .. A-A or B-B I normally use 568-B for all my patch cables

    Well as i've worked in IT for years my best mantra is, "A ping does not mean a thing!" essentailly a ping response can come from anywhere and not actually from the destination you are trying to reach. 
     
    What does tracert tell you? do you have device discovery on, on both computers ?

    Technane got a reaction from BSpendlove in What router should I get?   
    That 100mb is just coming from the routers 100mbps switching capability, essentially any router than can go up to 1gbps on the switching side would give you what you need.

    Nice to know, Been a fair few years since i actually flexed my wrists on some 3d modelling. its still not have that i7 single thread or not, the performance benefit for single thread doesn't really out way the multi core benefit .. but that's just my Opinion.

    well the other option is fine the two pins on the header where you plugged the power switch and such
     
    and find the ones that resets bios and short them, turn it on, and clear the short

    Technane got a reaction from GT1986 in Looking for VPN help   
    ExpressVPN would be my recommend, its the only one I know of (and actively use) which will help you if you complain to them when netflix reports the use of VPN, it also has apps for my smart TV which means its easier.

    Technane got a reaction from dalekphalm in Can I use a pressure sprayer as a paint sprayer   
    you can't water down house emulsions and such you need to use a thinner, 
     
    essentially NO you can't use that, the thinner would probably eat the bottle lol 
     
    also if you thin down emulsion, it means you normal 2-3 coats for a good paint job would be 8-10 coats!  get a roller and do it, takes about an hour to do a decent sized wall one coat.

    with your budget I personally would drop the intel and go AMD as you will get more bang for buck that way. 
     
    as for optical drive, anything will do as long as its SATA connected DVDR multi drive is probably the cheapest but Blu Ray Multi drives aren't too costly.
