  1. In general for unmanaged switches... no. There is nothing as a dedicated "uplink" port. All traffic needs to get everywhere. The switch doesn't care if two of your lan devices are communicating with each other or one lan device is communicating with the router, which "forwards" the traffic to a server. There are switches where some ports can be faster than others. But that is mostly not the case in normal consumer devices ("8-port ethernet switch" sounds like a standarrd switch).
  2. You can try ZeroTier. ZeroTier is a peer-to-peer vpn that basically adds a virtual network interface to every device that you need to interconnect. It uses "udp-hole punching" so there is no need to setup port forwards. You just need to create a free account and install a small software on every device. Your devices will find each other through their servers. But the actual data is transmitted directly between your devices. I havent tried Zerotier in double-NAT enviornments, but it worked very well for me in the past. ZeroTier tutorial:
  3. Zero-Handoff is only usable with a complete ubiquity setup (This would be more expensive). Yes, it is possible to use a single ubiquity access point. But then it will function just as any other access point as described in option 2 ( ubiquity access points will usually provide a better signal than random consumer grade access points) Again: Agree But I thought that he needs the additional access point only for one room. So a cheap router/access point would do the job.
  4. Agree I just wanted to give an overview of all existing principles. Zarrah Ibnul's method/ "option 2 - use a access point" is right way.
  5. You have multiple options: 1 - use a repeater (= extender) - like WiFi WA850E Range extender The repeater connects to the Archer C2 (and the internet) via your existing wifi. It will also create a new wifi. But you are able to set manually the same SSID and password on your Router's and Repeater's wifi. Wireless devices (Smartphones, PCs,..) will recognize both wifis as one. The Device decides which actual wifi to use on its own. This works surprisingly good. But there is a chance that the device will connect sometimes to the wrong wifi. 2 - use a access point The same as option 1. Only one difference: The access point will connect to your Router via Ethernet. So it will be faster and more reliable. I recommend to use this option. He uses the access point functionality of a router. So he has to disable some router functions. This is not needed if you use a plain access point. 3 - use pro stuff like Ubiquity unifi very expensive - very reliable. Similar to option 2. But You would need to buy 2 specific access points. One would replace your routers wifi and the other one would be your new ("second") wifi. Such Systems manage all client devices on their own. That means that every client device would use always the best of both wifis. 4 - mesh pretty new. I haven't really looked into it.
  6. I just used the link which was posted in the comments. Unfortunately it seems like logitech doesn't provide such a download for the g933 I can't even find the driver on the logitech ftp server ( ftp://ftp.logitech.com/../../pub/techsupport/).
  7. I had the same problem. It appeared after installing the driver. I tested it yesterday. It seems to work a bit more reliable. The strange blinking and some sound interruptions are still there. But mostly just after powering on the headset. I recognized only 1-2 problems during ~2-3h of gaming. I wouldn't call it a permanent fix. But I can see an improvement.
  8. I'm using the older G930 and I had sometimes similar issues. These headsets (G930 and G933) are using frequencies near 2.4 Ghz. Just like wlan. The headset is allways looking for the best wireless channel for sound transmission. The blinking may indicate that such a search for the best channel is going on. I found the following solution just yesterday. I couldn't test it so far, but it seems very plausible. https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/3sgm0x/possible_permafix_for_logitech_g930_disconnects/ (set a permanent wireless channel for the the headset in the windows registry; make sure that as few as possible w-lan devices use this channel -> a wifi analyser app could be helpful)
  9. The Blade 14 is a awesome device. I would be very happy if I win one.

  11. I created a list at pcpartpicker: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Zj3vYJ I chose an Core i5-4690 instead of an i5-4690k. Because I don't want to overclock. [EDIT: or what about a Core i5-4590 ? I think it would still deliver enough power. ] He likes the Corsair 200R - so I replaced the Fractal Core 3500. I also upgraded the 4gb kit with a single 8gb stick.
  12. Yes! I think a H97 mobo is a good idea. Can anyone recommend me one?
  13. Hey guys, the pre-build rig of a friend died at the weekend (I can't even enter the bios) . I already checked all obvious parts( all connectors are in place, ram is working,...). We decided to not invest more time for investigation and build a new one. Because he already had some issues with the rig in the past. He needs now a working pc for the university (and gaming ). But at the moment he can not spend more than 400€ on a new build. I think it would make sense to buy the 'main components' ( case, mobo, psu, cpu) now, re-use some old parts (gpu - gts450, hdd and ram - a 4gb stick) and upgrade them in 2-3 months. At the end it shouldn't cost more than 700€. He plays mostly CS GO and league of legends. Overclocking is not needed. CASE: -red Sharkoon T28 [~58 €]or -corsair carbide series 200r [~54€] PSU: -be quiet! Straight Power E9 500W [~66€] (will 500W work?) MOBO: -MSI Z97 PC-Mate [~80€] CPU: I'm not sure if I can use a dual core i3 like the Intel Core i3-4360 [140€] or if I should get a i5. 54€ + 66€ + 80€ + 140€ + ~20€ (shipping) = ~ 370€ So my friend will have 330€ left to buy a gpu and ram in a few months. P.S. sorry for my very "basic" English skills. I'm not a native speaker
