Thanks for the advice, I'll give these a try and give my ISP a call tomorrow. Fingers crossed we can get this figured out.

I am a student renting the place, I believe the place was built 2009, which surprises me because you'd think a house that new would have been built with Cat5 installed. sadly this is not the case. Bell says we have Fibre connection, but I know that this is only the case to the street. What I mean is they have fibre to the street, but only dsl to the homes.

My router is connected via ethernet to the modem. There are no Ethernet cables (cat5) running through the house tho, only telephone lines. because of this everything needs to be connected via WiFi.

Hello everyone, I was hoping someone might be able to help me. I've recently moved into a new place. We are having a lot of ping spikes and disconnection issues. It doesn't happen all the time but it happens every day at least, and seemingly at the most random of times. I tried doing a little troubleshooting myself but haven't been able to find an issue. We are all on wifi and I was wondering if it could be an overload issue, so I got a new router. the new router didn't help with the issue. I also tried running the two routers together, using one as a bridge. neither of these options seemed to help. I have looked into the logs on our router and it does not mention any connection issues. I'm starting to think its my ISP and maybe an issue with the connection coming into the house. I performed a ping test during and here are the results.

Thanks in advance

Ahhh I figured I was shoot blanks but thanks for checking out my dream anyway haha

Hi Everyone, I don't know if this is exactly the form I should be posting in, if not please let me know. Anyways I'm back with my second post, well I guess second question haha I was diving into mass storage the other day, and I came across the ability to mount one storage device, lets say a 1TB 7200rpm HDD, as a folder onto a separate device, lets say a 250GB NVMe SSD. Obviously you can and would use this for organization, but I got wondering whether there would be any other benefits to using this method. I don't believe I fully understand how this works, but here is my question. Would mounting said magnetic HDD, that is slower, as a folder on said SSD, which is faster, in turn make the HDD move files faster? My idea hear was that if the SSD is pulling from the HDD that first pull of information would obviously be at the speed of the HDD, but say you pull a program off the HDD and the program is now in use, would the program now be running off the SSD or would it still be running off the HDD just through the SSD? I hope this makes sense, I'm not the best at keeping my thoughts in order.... Hope everyone is staying safe out there in these very different times! Forbes

Thanks @Cvet76 I'll check those out! I knew that the devices already existed, but my main concern was whether these would take full advantage of the the speeds o NVMe or not. I'll see what they say in these videos. I would assume they test the speeds lol

Hi everyone, First off, this is my first post on here so if I'm stepping out of line with this post please let me know. Now getting to the subject at matter! I got thinking today and was wondering if there are any portable storage devices that can use NVMe storage to its full capacity. When I say to its full capacity, I mean getting the speeds that you would receive when installed on your motherboard but with the ease and portability of a general portable USB drive. I assume you would need to do this through the use of USB Type-c. Can USB stand up to the task I have asked or would it bottleneck the performance of my NVMe drive. I have tried looking up but I can't find a definitive answer anywhere. Thanks to anyone that can help me.
