What do you think of this CCNA book? http://a.co/9ivHKtj

To make this short, I contacted Asus about an assist fan on my motherboard that was having issues and they told me they sell some on amazon I can buy for as low as $9. I commented he was asking me to buy a replacement for a product I purchased from them that was having issues and he told me accessories are not covered if I look at the warranty. Is this normal? Do you guys find this acceptable? Mobo is a Sabertooth Z170 Mark 1

I have my phone connected to my PC through USB to share the internet connection but it shows up as a public network. Some apps have already asked me to change firewall settings because of this(Origin). Why is it set up as a public network and can I switch it to a private network of should I leave it as is.

Update, I've decided to give up on connecting my laptop through Ethernet and just create a hotspot. I connected my printer to the hotspot and I'll connect the laptop as needed for updates but it'll stay offline until I buy a Linux friendly adapter of better drivers are available for the internal solution.

I have my iPhone connected to my Windows 10 PC through USB to tether. I shared this connection to my laptop through one of my Ethernet ports. I have a wireless printer and I can't easily connect it through USB because it's too far away(have long Ethernet cable). My PC has another Ethernet port and I have a USB WiFi adapter installed. How can I connect my printer to my PC either using the other Ethernet port or the USB WiFi adapter(prefer)? I tried going to network settings and turning on mobile hotspot but it won't work while I share my iPhone connection. I have to turn off sharing and then it makes a hotspot but I would like to share the connection to the laptop using the Ethernet port and make a hotspot to connect the printer. The laptop has a WiFi/Bluetooth card but it's running Ubuntu and it's not a solid connection and causes Bluetooth interference with the Linux drivers, else I would turn mobile hotspot on and connect both my printer and laptop wirelessly. I have a router but I can't tether my iPhone connection to it as far as I can tell and having it connected while I tether my iPhone to the PC didn't let me connect online. What I've tried and had before: Cable Internet>modem>(Ethernet)router: _(Ethernet)PC _Laptop wireless* _(Ethernet)Printer *Had windows 10 installed. Got rid of Cable Internet iPhone*>modem>(Ethernet)router: _(Ethernet)PC wired _Laptop wireless** _(Ethernet)Printer wired *Couldn't figure out how to do and my router doesn't have dd wrt support. **Installed Ubuntu iPhone>(USB)PC: _(Ethernet)Laptop* _Printer** *Connected turning on sharing under adapter settings **Where I'm at right now. I tried turning on mobile hotspot from Network and Internet settings but it didn't work. Maybe I could have left my original set up alone and turned my router into a switch? but I would have to run a long Ethernet cable to the laptop.

Firstly, thanks for attempting to help me with another reply. I'm a take info from my notes so I don't have to waste lots of time looking for stuff so sorry if it's a bit choppy. 1)"page 1-35 states the M.2 share bandwith with PCIe x16_3 so if if use M.2 you cant use that slot" The manual says "Supports PCIE RAID configurations via onboard M.2 and PCIEX16_3 slot storages" so my guess is I can use both and PCI E x16_3 is only for storage devices? Page x @11:14 JJ confirms I can use both the onboard M.2 and included card to RAID two M.2 drives but dosent go into details on how. http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/70579-asus-sabertooth-z170-mark-1-motherboard-review-3.html Last 5 paragraphs I think says using both the on board M.2 and included card is ok with SLI or maybe it says it's not, confused. Manual and review: Onboard M.2 disables SATA express port 1 in SATA mode I suppose? Manual page x 2)"those also share bandwith with SATA 5-6 and is in x2 normally. Making x4 would disable SATA 5-6 likely according to page ix" Is that only in SATA mode? What's the difference? I'm confused. So PCI E x16_3 shares bandwidth with SATA express 1, SATA ports 5 & 6, and M.2 port? How about also sharing it with PCI E x16_1? Should PCI E x16_1/3 share bandwith? Do PCI E x1/3 share bandwith? Page ix, x, 1-19? 3)"you have 2x PCI-E x1 devices and PCIe x1_1 and PCIe x1_2 are physically open based on the image on page 1-18 nothign shows this bandwith being used my anything else" Page 1-18 list slot 5 as PCI E X1_4? Shouldn't it be PCI E X1_3? I'm very confused. With every thing in mind and you saying those are open, would this set up be correct? PCI E x1_1 AC88 Chipset lane PCI E x16_1 1080@x8 CPU lanes PCI E x1_2 STX II Chipset lane PCI E x16_2 1080 @x8 CPU lanes PCI E x1_3 blocked by second 1080 Chipset L PCI E x16_3 blank Chipset Ls Intel SATAExpress1(E1/2) Disabled?

"Which you could do as well" Posting for help on a forum is not always easy for me given I used to have lots a free time and liked reading up everything I could find myself. That said, I posted my question with the understanding you just pointed out because I don't have much free time in my job and have to juggle sleep with reading up on stuff like this. I'll put up some extra time for this reply. At the same time I have to understand people posting helpful replies could be under the same circumstances and that's all good. I just felt like telling you this to remind us that, while it may seem like we(people needing help) make you do all the work, sometimes it honestly is for reasonable reasons we don't just find the answer ourselfs. I read through a good portion of this thread and did lols of looking/reading around as I was building my system every time I got the chance to. From the graph posted and what I read, the z170 chipset with my motherboards m.2 slot shouldn't interfere with an SLI set up. I did actually download the manual for the sabertooth but I'm not sure I understand it clearly. The reason I posted my first question was because my findings said many things, including SLI plus m.2 would be fine but I cant add all the extra cards, yet an Asus rep said no to just SLI and M.2. Then on top of this I read some of the PCI E ports could actually be occupied without affecting SLI on a 16 lane CPU, so I got confused yet again thinking before they could not with SLI. The manual list the M.2 slot shares bandwidth with the lowest PCI E x16 slot. Under storage, it has the m.2 socket listed below the Z170 chipset. My take away from all this is the m.2 and last PCI E x16 slot run through the Z170 chipset. Therefore I can not only have a 960 pro connected to it with SLI cards, I can also connect an extra PCI accessory to the last PCI E x16 slot as well. The limits with this set up being everything running through the Z170 chipset to the CPU shares the bandwidth of PCI E x4. From here we get the understandings it may pose a bottleneck but not everything connecting to the Z170 chipset would be running at max capacity all at once. I'm back and forth between it will work without limitations, it will work with limitations, it won't work, limitation are practically a non issue, limitations are a practical issue.... I have an Asus rep telling me the m.2 card will drop my SLI set up and recommending I go to X99. Ok, I posted my question without any extras to make it clean and to the point. I thought some people might see it, see it's my first post, and feel inclined to think I didn't do any work. Well, I decided to give it a shot anyways.

Can I connect all those things in my list without issue tho? Someone from Asus said using the M.2 drive will affect my SLI but that's not what I'm getting from this forum so I'm confused.
