Hello! I currently own two Netgear routers, one is a WNDR4500 and the other is a WNDR3700. My main goal is to cover my entire two-story house with a wifi signal. My current setup is the 4500 setup upstairs on a wired connection broadcasting on the SSID MattNetworkUp and uses both the 5 and 2.5 GHz. Downstairs, I have the 3700 broadcasting on the SSID MattNetwork and also using both 5 and 2.4 GHz. (The upstairs and downstairs routers use different channels). Although this setup works really well for my stationary PCs upstairs and downstairs and doesn't reduce the bandwidth like other solutions will, it is extremely inconvenient for my mobile devices. My family and I are constantly having to bounce between the "up" and "down" wifi networks as we move around the house, and both iOS and android don't make the transition process between wifi networks very seamless. Could anyone make some recommendations on how I could configure my two routers so that I can achieve the maximum range and bandwidth throughout my house? This could mean flashing either or both of the routers with a custom firmware, whatever is required. If there simply isn't a good solution with my current hardware, I would be open to consider purchasing additional hardware as a last resort. Thanks so much!

The signed and designed case kinda scared me but excites me at the same time... Anyways congrats Linus. We've had our ups and downs, there was once a point where I unsuscribed because I was sick of all of the ads. But now I have realized that your quality of content is irreplaceable and watching a half of minute of ads really isn't that bad to support you.

My favorite thing has gotta be the boom sound, I listen to music while studying all of the time and the small speaker on my phone just isn't cutting it!

I have a converter from hdmi to dvi that works with other laptops without graphics cards but not mine.

Hello everyone! I have been having a problem with a monitor I inherited. It only accepts DVI and VGA, and my laptop I am trying to use it with only has an HDMI and mini display port out. I have tried using an HDMI to DVI converter, which worked on multiple family member's laptops to this same monitor, but didn't work for me. I am suspecting it is because my laptop is the only one with any kind of dedicated GPU (GT 745M). I talked with someone from Nvidia and they recommended I use an ACTIVE mini display port to DVI converter to connect to the monitor. Before I shell out the $30 or so, can someone verify that this will work and if it is necessary to get the active converter instead of a passive one? Just for clarification, this monitor I'd the only other monitor that is going to be connected to the laptop besides the laptops built in screen (I want to use both). Thanks for any input! I really appreciate it!

Cf is crossfire, means that you use two graphics cards at once. It's similar to Nvidia SLI

I've been thinking @brob Is a 500w power supply necessary or could I stick with 430 watt?

Perfect thanks again dude!

Alright perfect. I'm set thanks again. My only worry is making sure the network card fits in with everything and the antenna comes out of the case right.

Actually @brob, is that motherboard okay, I don't see tons of reviews on it.

Yeah much more money than I am willing to spend. I'll have to compromise and stick with the 7790. Or would the extra gig of ram help with this? I'll look into purchasing soon thanks again.

I would be using Adobe After Effects and recording some gameplay occasionally. Not tons of the time. Also would the extra 5 dollars be worth it for a Samsung 840 Evo SSD?

Won't it help in anything with video rendering or 3d graphics?

And what is that bracket for? Edit: Didn't see the SSD, that's what it's for. I would almost rather get a better GPU and get an SSD later when I have the money.

Would the extra money be worth it to get a 2 gb gpu?
