  1. i have a dell xps 13 9360 from a few years ago, the pc health check says i have everything except a supported processor, but i still want to update to windows 11. if i do will i get any updates at all or just nothing ever again, ive heard a few different things with getting updates or not so im just asking.  if i do upgrade and dont get updates how bad is that actually going to be, i mainly use this laptop for watching netflix, web browsing and some games when im out and about, so not my main computer but i still use it to do most of the same things but not as much. it just sucks that its only the cpu thats stopping me, do you think that microsoft will eventually support some older 7th gen cpus?

  2. so im thinking of building a pc soon and the case that i liked was the cooler master q500l but apon talking to some people and reviews i have heard that it is just not good for airflow and i wanna try look for another case but i reall like the smallness of the q500l with it only being as tall as the atx motherboard. so my question is does anyone have any recommendations on similar cases to that one but are not that one

    windows remote desktop tool doesn't do it for you?

    no it does but i want to be able to start it and see the console without remoteing into that computer with rdp and have it look like its running on my computer.

    also i have someone else in my house who i want to let start and stop it without letting them access to my server, well the remote desktop side

    freenas will let you remote in and make minecraft jails.

    what OS are both computers running?

    running windows on both machines, i would use freenas but if i ever want to use those hard drives on another computer i cant coz they're zfs, and i also rip blurays on there too and i dont think freenas has a plugin for that

  5. i have a minecraft server that i run sometimes from my server and i have to remote desktop into that computer then look at the console that way.

    is there a way to start the minecraft server from my computer but still having it run on my server and have the console show up like it would on the server but on my computer?

    i tried rcon but that doesnt let me start the file or see the console, i have seen about psexec but i dont know how to set it up or get it to work.

  6. would setting the vr2800 as the dhcp server make all the devices show up on the vr2800. i would prefer it that way if i could but if i cant, thats okay.
    all devices other than the 2 server computers i have is connected to the vr2800. just the servers are connected to the vr600

  7. also i am having one other issue, in the network tab in windows explorer, i can see all the normaly devices i usually see except other computers on the network. but when i go onto any other computer i see all the other normal devices i see and i also see the other computers on the network

  8. also the device that i log into the vr2800's portal on shows up on both routers. i dont mind if all the devices show up on both but i alteast want them to show on the vr2800, and also have it show that there actually is an internet connection going to it, but its not critical if we cant do that

    On the VR2800 Just turn off dhcp, give it a static ip on the lan side that is in the same subnet as your other router (make sure that ip is not being used) then connect the cable coming from the other router into a lan port not wan. and it should work, just keep in mind that now to access the VR2800's web portal you need to use the ip that you gave it on the lan

    sorry its taken so long to reply, i havent had time to play with the router settings since there are normally people home. i have done what you said by turning off dchp and changing the ipaddress to one above the router, and changed the cable to the lan port instead of the wan port. its all working at the moment but all my wifi devices connected to the vr2800 are showing up on the vr600 in the wired devices section. they only show up on the vr2800 after i log into the vr2800 from the device and im not sure exactually how to set up a static ip in the same subnet. also on the vr2800 it says there is no internet but its still working.

    What you really want is a switch by the sounds of things, or you have the routers connected to the wrong ports. 

     

    If you switch the one in the garage to a modem, you won't be able to have the server plugged directly into it as it will need to be behind the device performing NAT and acting as a firewall. 

     

    Simple solution is to replace the router in the kitchen with a switch. Other than that, you may find the router in the kitchen is performing NAT or DHCP on a different subnet, which will cause you not to be able to access the server. Is it connected via the WAN port one of the LAN ports? It should be connected via the LAN ports with NAT and DHCP disabled. 

     

    I'd look into what the bridge mode on your router actually does. People tend to use "bridge" as kind of general term for many different functions.

    hi, sorry it took so long to get back to you. i have attached a network map to better explain it. the printer will be the only device connected to the vr600's wifi and essentially be tured off except for the printer. all other wifi devices will be connected to the vr2800. i want the vr600 to act as a modem but also share the servers over the network, becasue atm the only way i can connect to the is if i connect directly to the vr600 and cannot see it in network explorer from the vr2800. i pretty much want it all to act as one network like it would if i only had one router but have the vr2800 as the main access point. the vr2800 has the cable currently going into the wan port should i change that to just a lan port. also i dont know how to disable NAT there is no button for just NAT theres alot of differnt things listed under that NAT tab.

  11. hoprfully i explain this properly but here goes
     

    so ive just moved into a new house (im in australia btw if that helps) and the internet from the road comes into the house in the garage and theres a second port in there aswell that goes to the kitchen. so i have one router in the garage (tplink archer vr600) taking in the fttn connection, and ive also got a server plugged directly into that router. and then ive got the other router (tplink archer vr2800) in the kitchen currently in bridge mode. 

     

    ive currently got the router in the kitchen having all the devices connected to it but my problem is that i cannot access network shares etc from the server thats connected to the router in the garage. so i guess what im wanting is the have the router in the garage to act as just a modem but also share the network ports with the router in the kitchen.

     

    please let me know if you need more details or a network map or whatever

  12. so im thinking of building a new pc and while i was looking at motherboards i quiet liked the ASUS Prime Z370 A, mainly becasue it was cheap. but when i look at my local online stores all i can find is the Asus Prime Z370 A II, so i am wanting to know what the difference is between the new version and the old one, and if there is anywhere i can still get the original version as the new one is almost double the price

  13. so i have 2 old desktops one is running freenas and the other is just a windows one. the freenas machine is in a bigger box and i am in a situation where i want to move it into the windows box. they are old dell optiplex desktops so i cannon change out the motherboards. so pretty much i want to move my drives over to the smaller box, can i just move everything and just boot from the usb again or do i have to go through the whole setup process again. please help
