  1. The modem reports still having internet, router reports not having internet, but only on some devices and at seemingly random times. Ie my phone might be disconnected and then 5 minutes later somebody else gets disconnected... etc here is my currently settings for LAN DHCP. I mentioned in the origional post the set up but basically it's coax->modem->router->switchbox->everybody elses rooms, some routers, others computers and an extender b/c of how big the house is.
  2. yeah it's an absolute mess of splitters, as far as I can tell I'm currently going through one (I need to get some pliers to get to the original) Yeah i've checked as much as I can but I can't find what it would be. Do note this router was in the exact same set up in a different house (I had lent it to a friend for a while) but they only have 6 people so way fewer devices.
  3. I set it on router I haven't touched the modem (I honestly don't even know how to do that). I tried a few versions ASUS had but currently I'm using Merlin
  4. yeah changing the DHCP didn't work, I'll try changing the lease time, but I'm not sure it's just the switch box since the internet drops on wireless too. EDIT: also when on bell we never had this issue, the only thing that changed was provider and modem/router set up.
  5. Okay so I manually set an IP to every device on the network, if that doesn't work any other suggestions?
  6. It uses DHCP for most connections (although some are static) Am I able to change all conections to static in the router settings?
  7. TLDR: Lots of people connected to network, random people loose internet connection for a few moments-minutes, changing the firmware didn't seem to help...what do? Okay so here's the run down. I live in a student house (14 people), we recently switched from Bell to TechSavvy (because faster speeds, cheaper, unlimited). Since the switch we had to switch modem and router as the Bell was a modem/router in one. So the new setup is 120up/10down, modem is a Technicolor TC4350, router is a ASUS RT-AC66U (1750 mbps bandwidth), it's attached to a 10/100 16 port switch box (I know wasting the 120 down but it was free) which goes to every room in the house. 4 housemates have their own routers in their rooms daisy chained from mine->switchbox->theirs. There is also an extender in the basement since it's made of cinder blocks and it's a big house so the range isn't the greatest. At any given time there are atleast 20 devices connected to the router (at peak hours it gets up to 36-40) The issue is internet dropping out (connecting to the network is fine though just the internet). It seems to drop more with devices connected wirelessly but it can happen to wired devices sometimes too. It also doesn't happen to everybody at once, normally only a few devices at a time will loose connection. I've tried changing up the firmware (even installing third party) but none of that seemed to fix it. Any idea what might be wrong?/what I can do to fix the problem?
  8. So I recently changed ISPs (Bell DSL to TechSavvy Cable), when I did I bought a new modem as suggested by TechSavvy (mine was very old). When I first tried to set it up there was no connection even though according to the ISP the modem was online. This went on for about a week until they sent a tech over to check it out. Low and behold that morning the modem got a connection and the internet had started working before the tech even arrived. So we had internet for about a week but today the modem lost it's connection again. There are no reported internet outages and it's definitely the modem not the router. Any idea what might be the problem? Is it possible the modem is faulty?
  9. Hey so here is my scenario, I have a blue yeti microphone on a boom arm with a shock mount to reduce vibration. I also have a cherry MX Blue keyboard. I find it inconvenient to use push to talk during many situations (a lot of working on documents and reports for school) but it would be a pain for people I'm in voice calls with to have to listen to the click clack of my typing. What I'm looking for is some way to attenuate only the frequency range that my keyboard produces (similar to how you can adjust frequency levels for output). Anybody know of software or anything else that could do this? I would rather not have to build a hardware attenuation device (would probably do it with arduino or something)
  10. ahh true, my bad, but still it's massive with all the macros, I personally would prefer tenkeyless with a line of macros but idk if that even exists
  11. I've considered it, but I personally like the look of more grouped keys like the k95 and ducky shine, although the k95 is reds (and is massive) and ducky doesn't have macros so I'm seeing if there is some sort of inbetween
  12. Looking for cherry MX Brown keyboard suggestions. I don't really care if it's 80% or full just not 60%. Also having 5 macros would be amazing (I have a blackwidow atm and I love having the macros). That said most keyboards come with lights but I'm planning on buying keycaps separately and the lights won't show through so idc about the lights. Thanks!
  13. this would be perfect as a projector for our student house, we have a big wall but not much room to set up a projector so we're looking for a short throw
  14. So I found this today, I thought it was pretty interesting, not saying that it'll happen any time soon (it probably won't) but if this came around in the future it'd be awesome. http://phys.org/news/2015-08-company-canada-patent-space-elevator.html
  15. Alright, but either way dual core with hyper threading should be enough, since I program all the simulations I just need to make sure I'm using all the threads
