    Yes, you can. Get a router and just connect the internet input of the router to the output of the adapter and usually things will work just fine.
     
    Although I rather to pull a ethernet wire for job like that just the sake of better internet quality. Powerline adapter sucks sometimes, especially for the latency. But if that works for you, go on anyway.
     
    Don't forget to setting your wi-fi channel for both of your router so it won't interfere each other.

    Surely you just want a wireless access point? (though in some cases they can be more expensive than routers which have a WAP mode, so maybe just go for one of those)

    Hey guys sorry for the lack of update. The problem turned out to be the PSU. Replaced the likely faulty Corsair CX750M with a Corsair RM750, little higher quality, same specs for the most part. Thanks for your suggestions!

    Performance wise the 1080ti is roughly equal to the RTX2080 which starts at about $700. So for a 2 year old used card you would want it to be cheaper than that... Though it's rumoured that in the next few weeks price will drop as Nvidia releases some new Super cards (rumoured!). Also have new AMD Ryzen 3000 CPUs and AMD Navi GPUs releasing in 3 weeks time.
    Since your computer is still decent I'd hold off a couple of weeks and wait to see the aforementioned products released and check out some independent reviews for how they compare.

    Ignore $1,100. I did some digging. You can get an 1800X on eBay for $125 right now, usually closer to $160. Without knowing the exact board in play (the seller really didn't give the chipset?!), that plus the RAM could be worth anywhere from $120-160. The AIO adds nothing, IMO, because I'm assuming it's the same age as the CPU, and if it is, it's going to pull the old Deepcool/Deadcool act before long. $450 is a fair valuation for a 1080 Ti on Craigslist. I could get one locally for $350 if I had any use for it. The SSD is worth $30 and the hard drive...maybe $100? The PSU maybe $30, the case about the same (depending on condition), sound cards are dumb and custom cables are meaningless.
     
    Adding everything up, you get $955 on the low end and maybe $1,100 at the high end if everything is in sterling condition. I'd tell the seller that it's a nice system but their asking price is really high for first-gen Ryzen, especially with new AMD parts coming out next month, and see what they come down to. My cutoff would be $1,000 on this for personal use, and I would not buy it to flip right now.
     
    Here's a trick: when the seller inevitably says, "I'll just hold onto it for that price," remind them that Ryzen 3000 and Navi are about to come out and make his system worth 40% less instantly. If the word "eBay" comes out of his mouth, tell him that he'll lose 10% to eBay fees and run a decent of getting ripped off by someone who says the PC doesn't work, then returns it on his dime after taking the 1080 Ti out. There are ways to beat someone down, even the people who say that they don't "need" to sell it.
     
    News flash: if they didn't need to sell it for some reason, they wouldn't be selling it.

    4770k + 970 is alright. Still good for 1080p gaming. I'd hang on to what you have now and see what comes out in a few weeks time with new AMD CPUs, GPUs, and rumoured new Nvidia GPUs. Are you interested in building it yourself or would you rather just buy it ready made?

    Yeah, for sure. He said he would totally take it back, just makes me wonder if he's had it for 6mo then I wonder if I really have that much to worry about.

    The seller just got back to me and said he bought it new and possessed it for 6 months, and was not the culprit of the liquid damage. He wasn't aware.
     
    Edit: It would be kind of an oof. I spent 1000$ on it and I don't rake it in.

    Hey guys!
     
    Save your MacBook comments if you don't mind.
     
    Anywho, I bought a 15.4" MacBook Pro on eBay a couple weeks ago for a really great price, as it was described as the Touch ID not working, and the speakers being distorted. I brought the device to a local apple store to get the Touch ID repaired for about $70 which I think would be a good investment. They couldn't end up fixing it because its a motherboard issue due to liquid damage. (Don't know if its water or not). I'm totally cool with JUST the Touch ID not working and the speakers. What I'm worried about is it deteriorating over time.
     
    I have the open to return it via eBay and PayPals return policy, due to the description not accurately describing the problem. Is the risk of keeping this liquid damaged device serious? Is there some way I can fix it or should I just return it.
     
    Thanks!!

    Try swapping the cable that he's using? Could be a driver problem or that the card is artifacting because it's damaged.
