Yep, found it. Thank you!

How would I do that? I assume it's in the NIC properties settings?

Question is pretty much straight forward. I'm currently running an ethernet cable running from my Powerline adapter to my PC so I can get fastest internet speeds available on my line. The router and other equipment is located downstairs on the main floor, where all of the required cabling comes inside my apartment. I can't move that hardware upstairs to my room. I now have a different router (a Cisco EPC3925, supplied by a previous ISP) that I want to use as a LAN. The reason being, I've got a Quest 2 and would prefer to use Air Link. Now, knowing that the downstairs router does broadcast Wi-Fi, it's not a viable solution for me, as the two devices are too far apart and the experience would not be the best. I wanted to connect both Ethernet cables into my PC, and still have access to the broader internet, whilst being connected to the Cisco to use Air Link simultaneously. This has worked before, as I tried it out multiple times, but it's a hit or miss. The reason why I say hit or miss is because sometimes my PC recongises the Cisco router as the "main" router and cuts me off from Internet entirely. It completely disregards the connection that actually connects me to the internet. Is there a way I can set my 100Mbit Ethernet port as the one for Internet exclusively and the 1Gbit port for LAN only?

Nope, I checked network traffic using Glasswire, nothing is being used in the background.

So a couple days ago, I started having issues with my WiFi connection, which happens quite often. My average speeds are around 30-35mbits, but now they dropped down below 1mbit, which never happens. And all devices were affected by it. I accidentally found out it was my PC causing the interference, when I turned it off, and went back on my phone, out of anger. And then I realized the speeds are back up on their averages. I started diagnosing it further, by disabling WiFi on my PC but keeping it enabled on my phone and performing speed tests. During said tests I would disable the WiFi on my PC and that's when the speeds would instantly skyrocket back up to the 30mbit range, and once WiFi was enabled, it would drop down below 1mbit. I researched further and saw people having the same issue and realizing their ground is messed up. I then plugged the PC in another outlet, that's seperated from the previous circuit, however the issue persists. I tried using my phone as a hotspot, with Wi-Fi Sharing enabled, passing the WiFi signal through my phone. Speeds plummeted just as much. Using USB Tethering fixed the issue, for some reason, however it's really impractical for me, as USB tethering has ping penalties, which goes as high as 250ms in games like CS:GO, Valorant, etc. I've also reinstalled WiFi drivers, which hasn't fixed the issue. Sadly, the only connectivity option for me is to use WiFi, as the router is hooked up downstairs. I really don't want to invest into any equipment at the moment, unless I won't have a choice. For future reference, I'm using a GIGABYTE H170N-WIFI motherboard. Hope someone can help me out!

I assume there's no workaround for that?

Hi, guys. I recently bought a brand-new Asus Phoenix GTX 1650 4GB, which would replace my recently dead 660 Ti. Having that said, I picked it up today and put it in the PCI-E slot, turned it on and... It didn't post. Just a black screen. I've seen that it may be because my power supply is too weak, but since the GPU requires at least a 300W PSU, I didn't see it as a problem, considering my PSU has a max wattage of 600W. The black screen could be the cause of my motherboard. It's a rather old Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3, rev. 1. A friend has already recommended me to install a newer version of the BIOS, which I will do right now. But in case if you have any other ideas on how to fix the problem, I'd be very glad. I know this may be a stretch, but I'd like to come to a resolution rather quickly, because I still qualify for a refund of the GPU, and I don't want this money to go to waste, if I can maybe upgrade something else on it or just save up for a new system entirely. Thanks for the help, in advance! - Mark

What I meant was the following: Move the router into the internet box, plug the source into the WAN port on the router, plug one end of a cable into LAN1 port on the router and the other into the first phone line port that would lead to my living room, do the same thing for my computer room etc, thus eliminating the need for a switch. Would that be a better idea?

Can't I just move the router into the box and connect any available LAN ports on the router to the network ports in the box, eliminating the need for the switch? I only need two of the jacks in my apartment to work.

I think it's coax, if I'm correct. It doesn't go straight into my router. It feeds into the first phone line switch, on the picture. The person hired to do our networking then took a phone line cable and plugged one end into the source, the other into the phone line port, which leads to the ethernet jack in the living room. I hope that made sense. Modem / Router. It's an Innbox V60.

I am not exactly sure where it comes from. The manager hasn't been responding to any of my emails or text messages, so I am not sure I can answer that. It is located in the living room. It's connected through the Ethernet port in the living room. It's xDSL. We contract directly with the ISP. They supplied the necessary router as well and don't really want me to use my own router. I'll borrow it from a friend of mine and try that. If the wiring will be fine, I'll invest in a switch, as you recommended thereafter. Thanks for the response!

Hello! I have a rather major issue with my internet. I've been living in my apartment for a few years now, and the internet connection seem to have been going fine. I had to buy a PCIE Wi-Fi card for my computer, in order to access the internet, because for some reason, my ethernet jacks in the wall weren't working. The card hasn't been the most reliable, but it was fine for gaming, until now, when I've started having massive ping issues. I've decided to call my flat manager to ask if anyone could come and help me wire the ethernet jacks up, but to no avail. The same happened with my ISP, no one really wanted to come help me with it. Today, I went to my internet box, where all the cables come into my apartment. The left is where the cable comes in. It gets split to five different phone ports. Each port is linked to a ethernet jack in the wall in the apartment. But I'm not really sure how to connect them up, so if there are any experienced network guys in here that could maybe help me out, that would be great. I've put a picture of the box below. The little loop of phone cable connected to two of the ports seems to be the port by the router. The apartment is a two-story apartment, my router is in the lower part of the apartment, my computer is located on the top floor. There's only a wall and the floor between my computer and router. The router is connected through the ethernet jack in the lower floor, mentioned earlier. I understand this is probably asking for a lot, but since my ISP and flat manager are absolutely useless, I have no other choice. I know there's the Powerline option, but that's not really an option for me at this time. Thanks for any help in advance.

Talked to some guys on Discord, recommended me to RMA it, which I will do. Thanks for the help.

'Ello there! I thought I'd post in here and ask you guys to help, considering I haven't found anything online, that would help me. I've recently received a brand new Crucial MX500 1TB SSD, runs on SATA 3. Last night I decided to install Windows on it, but to no luck, it seemed to have crashed on the "Getting things ready" screen, it was there for about 10-15mins. After all that, I restarted and absolute Hell would begin. I couldn't boot into the disk, I couldn't (for some odd reason) boot on my USB to restart the installation, nothing. I could, however, boot into my old SSD and everything seemed fine. I used the official Microsoft Windows Creation Tool to install the OS installer onto my USB. I've also used the ISO and converted my formatted USB into a boot drive using Rufus. This morning I decided I'll just simply use my new SSD as a secondary disk. However, not even that would work perfectly normal. CS:GO would go on to load corrupted many times, GTA V seemed to have been stuck on the loading screen for more than two minutes, and once sharing the screen with my friend, the entire PC just BSOD'd. CrystalDisk reports the SSD as 100% heatlhy, with no problems. Is there any way to fix this on my own, or should I just simply send it back to the shop and warranty the whole thing and hope for the best? help.
