Id keep your router and buy an access point and use that. I've had slow WiFi with my Linksys AC 1600 and i bought an access point and my WiFi has never been better. id recommend the Unifi AP AC PRO. https://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Networks-802-11ac-Dual-Radio-UAP-AC-PRO-US/dp/B015PRO512/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1533365529&sr=8-2&keywords=unifi+ap+ac+pro Setup is incredibly simple, but there are a few settings I'd change to make it even faster. Dont worry about having a constantly running controller as you are only using one AP. if you need any help, just ask the Ubiquiti community or this forum, as the Ubiquiti Support is Trash.

why do you use two routers? I'm legitimately curious, and also what model are they?

I used to have a cable connection, it has to do with how the network is set up. Cable connections are a shared connection, meaning that if the neighbors around your neighborhood are using a lot of bandwidth, your connection gets slowed down. your ISP could also be slowing you down to prevent you from ruining everyone else's connection. if you ever need to download something, do it mid day or at the middle of the night, as the network usage is typically low. since you said that it drops below one megabit, i suggest that you switch to an ADSL provider as although the speeds will be significantly slower, you don't have to deal with the neighbors using your bandwidth.

Here is a list i constructed. the 1060 3gb will be able to handle video editing. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dQWLw6 If you need windows, just get a key from kinguin.net, its where i get my keys for cheap https://www.kinguin.net/category/22175/windows-10-home-oem-key/

do you have a cable, fiber or DSL connection?

Hi, Ive been using Pf-sense for a while but just recently got two internet connections and however want to load balance them a specific way. For perspective, I have one Fiber connection and one Cable connection. My cable connection is way faster in speed but the latency is high, and my fiber connection has a low latency but not a lot of speed. I was wondering if i can load balance by using the Fiber connection only and when the bandwidth usage hits a threshold start using the cable connection. i don't know if this is possible but i'm sure it is as PF-sense can do almost anything. Thanks in advance for your answers!

*************************************** Posts from here on should coordinate with the updated post. ************************************** For archival reasons, here is the original post: It appears after the revocation of the Republic of Gamers branding that coincided with all of ASUS's premium gaming products on AMD GPU's, it appears that ASUS has chosen to stick with the old ROG branding. AREZ was originally intended to be a new brand for ASUS after nVidia, a compeditor to AMD and their GPU's, unveiled a new program called GPP. Standing for Geforce Partner Program, this new "volentary" program was intended according to nVidia to "help gamers know what they are buying when shopping for Graphics Cards." Kyle from HardOCP, a reputible publisher, has uncovered the true hidden details in the contract not stated in nVidia's blog post. This was part speculation, but started to become true when asus unveiled the AREZ branding for AMD GPU's. Since all the public backlash for this potentially illegal contract, nVidia decided to kill the Geforce Partner Program, stating that "it was all because the media/press spread misleading information." ASUS has now already created the AREZ brand, so it was up to ASUS's decision weather to keep the brand or to get rid of it. As per my speculation, I suggested that ASUS use the AREZ brand for more budget products, since they already spent the marketing efforts to bring the brand out, but it looks like asus plans to get rid of it, as ASUS recently posted a marketing AD on twitter mentioning their ROG Radeon RX Vega cards. ( https://twitter.com/ASUSUSA/status/996179635158339586?s=09 ). Also on Amazon, all the AREZ branded cards are gone and there are no other cards branded AREZ. ( https://goo.gl/xQZxP4 ). This also repeats on other retail stores as well: NCI... err.... Newegg ( https://goo.gl/LXoRkN ), Fry's ( https://goo.gl/jhkDPE ), Memory Express ( https://goo.gl/u7aJ7t ) (off topic note: Memory Express dosent even have a mobile site...), Microcenter: ( https://goo.gl/5oaTJ7 ). All of the listed sites no longer have AREZ branded cards, and it appears that ASUS will be scraping the brand, even though they spent money on marketing and rebranding the products. This does have a negitive effect on ASUS as they now effectively spent money on nothing and now have to recoup that cost wasted.

My phone lags like crazy on complicated websites like this one. Atleast you are informed with the current situation of GPP. I dont think anyone else would report on this, as this tweet has been out for a while...

Yeah, but the links were ridiculously long, and I didnt want to impede on people reading the article. I'll figure out a way around it

** this post has been edited. To see the original, a post has been made below. *** at the time of writing this editorial, no news publisher reported on this. So I wrote an article myself, here you go... GPP, also known as Geforce Partner Program, was a “voluntary” program by nVidia that promises to help gamers make the right purpose when buying a graphics card. On nVidia’s blog post it states: However, Kyle Bennett, from HardOCP, wrote an article on the Geforce Partner Program, stating how it impacts consumer choice. In his editorial, he states: This was talked about in the press, and later in the article, Kyle conducts an interview with several AIB and OEM partners, and they have developed a similar consensus: The quote above were just statements on an editorial, and even though Kyle has a reputation in the industry, these statements could be taken with a grain of salt. However, most of the press have chosen to accept these statements as true. On nVidia’s blogpost, they state it is voluntary, however at the time cryptocurrency was a big hit (it still sort-of is) and GPU supply was weakened. So, if an AIB partner didn’t sign up for the Geforce Partner Program, they wouldn’t be treated by nVidia as well as a brand who did sign up for GPP. If a new run of GPUs came off the process node, the AIB’s and OEM’s that have GPP would be favored and would probably have more share than those who didn’t sign up, therefore threatening their businesses overall which really affect manufactures who rely on GPU sales primarily. GPP affects AIB’s and OEM’s by forcing them to separate the branding that these manufactures like to use on their products. Say for example Gigabyte, they use Gaming X as their branding for both nVidia and AMD cards. With GPP, now they must remove the Gaming X brand with the AMD cards. This makes it so when a buyer types in Gaming X because he/she knows that is the high end for Gigabyte, that user will only see nVidia cards now. Now, nVidia had pulled the plug on GPP, in their blogpost stating: So, this is good right? Not so much. In the time GPP was active, Gigabyte was ripping the Gaming X brand off AMD cards, which is an easy fix, just put the Gaming X back on. However, for ASUS, they planned to launch a new brand called AREZ for their AMD products. Now that GPP is over, ASUS must decide to keep the AREZ brand or just use the ROG brand. Since ASUS already spent time and effort to market the new brand AREZ, and they already began removing ROG branded AMD graphics cards in place for AREZ, they have to choose to keep the branding, put back the ROG branding, or use both. I speculated that they would use both, where the AREZ branded cards would be the budget-oriented cards and the ROG branded cards would be the Premium cards. It turns out, ASUS as it appears, has opted for the ROG branding only. In their twitter post recently, they stated: This looks great on the outside, however that has significantly impacted ASUS internally. This has now wasted the time and money that ASUS spent on marketing the new AREZ brand, stopping production of the newly branded cards, and restarting production with the old ROG branding, and now, ASUS has to figure out what to do with the AREZ branded cards. So far it looks like they aren’t selling any AREZ branded on the retail stores such as Amazon, NCIX, Newegg, Microcenter, Fry’s, and Memory Express, ( off topic side note: Memory Express doesn’t even have a mobile site. What!) are gone, so it’s up for debate on what they will do with the AREZ branded cards, let alone the money wasted on the brand. ASUS has to deal with all this, all because nVidia wanted to get a little more market share, which they definitely needed. Overall, ASUS and Gigabyte have now effectively a way harder job on their hands thanks to the amazing Geforce Partner Program, brought to us by nVidia.

So i guess its coming shortly as ces recently ended.

Its been a year and the 2nd part to the one year benchmark is still not up. What happened? Tell us linus

I have an AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ that fully works.

Yes, the share was set to everyone, the share was working earlier it just stopped. For no reason. Thanks for your reply though.

In my home I run a Windows 7 box with UniFi, Plex, and some Samba shares. I have it configured with a static IP and DMZ hosted for access outside the home network. Recently, my main rig couldn't find the server. It appeared on the network, but could not connect. I did the windows troubleshoot, and it said the server was online but not responding. I already checked that the firewall was off and the network was set to private. I also tried using a spare router in hopes of it working. I do run microsoft security essentials to keep the PC, secure. Not shure if that's the problem. I also tried to update the PC but no luck. Also, when i go to the folder im sharing, if i right click and click on properties, then sharing, the server momentarily freezes and explorer sometimes crashes. Please help as i really need this server to work as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.

The unlisted livestream video:

with the asus board i had in V2 it didnt.

i already have and sometimes power outs are like 2 or 3 hours.

Im building my V3 of my server on a tight budget, and need an 8 core cpu, i settled on the fx 8350 but i am looking for a board that in the uefi bios, can support power on after power failure.

Just built and set up my ryzen 5 build with an MSI b350M Pro-VDH. windows was fully installed and everything, but the system takes way to long to post. typically when booting it up it takes up to 15 seconds to post and i dont know why.

Recently, I upgraded to windows server 2012r2 from windows server 2008 due to some issues with samba shares and non-windows based platforms. it's now working, but I've been looking into remote samba shares. i really don't know how to do it and researching on how to do it on windows has been very difficult. Any help or advice is much appreciated

Previously, I was having issues with multiple smb shares, thanks for the replys they were helpful. But now ive come accross another dilema. When i connect to the windows smb share with a windows pc, it works but when connecting with a mac, it will detect the server but the username and password is incorect, even though it works with a windows pc. Any help?

Hi, im new to the SMB share thing, i've been using filezilla ftp for awhile since my network setup couldn't handle SMB at the time. Im trying to figure out how to set up multiple SMB shares with different usernames and passwords from one server (windows server 2008 enterprise) (long story how I obtained that copy instead of home server key). I tried setting up multiple admin accounts in the server then setting up separate shares within each account but no luck. Im sure it is possible but don't know how.

M.2 was in its infancy at that time.

Razer blade is the lonly one i can think of. I think there is somthing from msi as well but not shure.
