  1. Thanks for the info and explanation. I'll read up on it and add that too
  2. Hi, I know its been long for anyone following this issue. I went on doing some reading with the thought of purchasing a new router, and I made some self notes about it. I have put it here as a github site link. I would like to ask if the things I noted there are correct or not. And maybe it will be helpful for someone coming to this thread in the future.
  3. I am regularly at about 5-7meters away from the Router - at that time, there is about a brick wall in between me and the router. But the tests I did was keeping the laptop right beside the router so as to get easy access to the LAN ports in the router. I believe all my neighbours are in the same 2.4Ghz band itself , don't know which channel though. Can we analyse it with any app? Or do we need to go knocking on them? I don't think there are any iot or smart home devices in my neighborhood. But there are about 3-4 wifi hotspots that we could theoretically get interference from. But not consistently though. As we have brick walls, most of the external interference are also very week. On my laptop, where I ran the tests, it uses a Wifi6 compatible card. So I do not think the issue is with that. Also we get the same speeds on testing with other mobile devices from home too. So I have narrowed it down to the router.
  4. Hi, I have a 100Mbps connection at home and when I do a speed test (Ookla), with lan, I get a reading of 80-90Mbps. But then I use the wifi, which is from a TPLink DIR615, in 2.5Ghz, I get a speed of only 30-50Mbps. (My model does not support 5Ghz and only has 20Mhz and 40Mhz channels). Any suggestions and insights would be welcome.
  5. _______Update_______ I was thinking of purchasing a new Router and I came accross this thread. I believe this was the issue all along. To be clear - the solution i did above is working fine and that is how I am getting internet right now - by as to why that happend in the first place....... It is still a theory as i am not acting on it, but anyone in future (and me also) encountering this problem, might have a chance to torubleshoot it.
  6. They have a software for the mouse, which I installed and checked. It doesn't seem to fix this.
  7. Hi, I have a 'Cosmic Byte Hydra' gaming mouse (They don't seem to be selling this mouse anymore, as I am not able to find it in their website anymore) I did find an amazon.in link for it here. The issue, I believe has been there since the beginning (I only bothered to check now, yes....i know......but) is that - when I press and hold RMB and press ThumbMouseButton(button4), the button4 won't work. If pressed individually all, buttons work fine and all other combinations work fine too!. It is just this single combination that is having this issue. What do you think the issue is? Is there any way to fix this? I'll put a video that showcases the issue for better clarity Mouse Issue.mp4
  8. Thanks for all your help and input. Now I have a 2TB write only HDD.
  9. Just a random question. As far as i know, there isn't but.....is there a way for me to repair it? I have got most of the important stuff off it. So If i can repair it and continue using, it would be great.
  10. Replacement as in, I will need to discard this and buy a new one?
  11. I have updated the problem with the results of the tests. The problem seems to be of the HDD from the results, neither of the Laptop, nor of the cable.
  12. As i mentioned, i have been encountering this problem from yesterday only, until then, i was able to do everything just fine. The speeds were a but low, and i had some stutters form some time, but yesterday, it almost stopped working completely - the READ part at least. WRITE is working OK (for now)
  13. I have a 2TB external HDD by Toshiba. Amazon Link of product I have been using it for about 4 years. O never used it much, just for occasional storage of stuff. I once tried to play warzone through it, as my lap only has a 250gb SSD (this may/may not help in diagnosing the problem) Anyway, from yesterday onwards, I cannot essentially copy anything FROM the drive. It bursts for some moment but then essentially dies down.(Image 1) But I am able to copy anything and everything INTO the drive at almost decent speeds, still it dies down for a second and raise backup immediately, unlike the READ speeds I looked in task manager, but nothing major is running that can potentially cause this, but even at this point, the drive usage is full, but there is ZERO I/Ops For reference, this drive had consistent speeds for read and write of about 80-100Mbps during the initial days. Here are the other resource usages, if it helps The solutions I have tried: 1. Excluded the dive from Windows Defender antivirus 2. Formatted the entire drive ones, still this is the state Any advice would be welcome. _____________EDITS and UPDATE_______________ This is what shows when my transfer fails completely I have another External HDD also by Toshiba Amazon link of that drive, I'll try some tests with that to to rule out is the issue is with 1. cable 2. Laptop 3. Hdd itself : I'll update the results here. ______RESULTS___________ 1. cable : Swapped the cable, still has the problem 2. laptop : Transferred files to and from the second HDD with 100+Mbps speed - so not the problem of laptop or ports 3. Hdd itself : So the problem rules down to the Hdd itself. Any suggestions will be welcome.
  14. Yeah......3070 is up for 65k to 70k INR now. That's the lowest it gets now
  15. Budget (including currency): 170k INR (with monitor, no peripherals needed) Country: India Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Apex Legends (mostly), but mostly for gaming and streaming if possible. Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17j8JF36Yx5Df-nGftdik19RBpMiaDz5gkqd0_PoS5RQ/edit?usp=sharing
