  1. Hello all; it's been a while.

     

    I'm just looking for some feedback and suggestions about my current home network setup but I'm not looking to 'upgrade'. I am however planning, not sure when, to run a powerline router to get hard-wire access into the garage for a server setup. Thanks in advanced for your comments and suggestions.

     

    Internet speed: 600+ Mbps download, forget what the upload is...20-50 Mbps I think.

    Hardware:

    • Modem All-In-One from ISP running in Gateway mode
    • T-Mobile TM-AC1900 Router, reflashed as an Asus AC68U running Merlin Firmware
    • TP-Link Deco M4 Mesh WiFi system (3 access-points)

    The set-up:

    2-floor home with an up and downstairs. The ISP modem is located in the middle-front-2nd floor of the house and set up as just a gateway so I'm not using their device to provide wireless internet access in my home. Connected directly to the modem/gateway is my AC68U router which also has it's wireless radios disabled. Then connected to that is the first of three Deco M4 pucks which provides the wireless internet access. The other two Deco M4 pucks are located downstairs - one in the front right of the home and one in the back left. 

     

    In theory - and it seems like - I have full uninterrupted wireless internet connectivity in the house which is great. I haven't done anything close to scientific to test the wireless to see if the actual zone coverage is perfect. How's that look? Any more info I should provide? Thanks again. 

  2. So I recently updated the hd 4000 drivers for my 3770k via Windows update and now I can get into my system.

    My computer boots up until the windows logo and then my monitor cuts signal. I can't blind login because I think nothing is there. I tried rebooting into the windows recovery and repairing but it errors out. I made a sys restore and restored once to try again and now the save is gone. =(

    I would hate to reinstall Windows because I don't quite have the time. I haven't tried to boot into safe mode yet to uninstall the HD 4000 driver completely, but if anyone knows how to boot into safe mode without having to use msconfig please enlighten me (haven't Google it yet). Thanks for your comments and suggestions.
