I just set up some reserved IPs for my computer, wife's computer, Roku and Game Console. Have phones/tablets that don't need reservations. We'll see if that helps.
Another random data point....
When Spectrum replaced my line from the pole to the inside they added an unneccessary splitter for...
So, the issues continue. I replaced the wifi/router with another cheap one just to see and it still has issues. A cable tester is on the way to check my cables. If there is a modem issues it's subtle because the modem shows no breaks in uptime.
A couple of things that MIGHT be causing the...
1. While I haven't swapped the cable (long cable run in the basement), two things minimize it's possibility. A. I can use said cable to get to the web interface of the modem even when the internet is down. B. The light on the router is amber which per the user manual means the router can see...
So, added wrinkle...
Internet has been stable all day today. Possibilty 1, some of my tweaks from yesterday took and worked.
Possiblity 2, the router has been placed upside down all day. Would that do anything? Weird.
I currently have an Arris SB8200 modem used with Spectrum at 200Mbps tier. Router is a Netgear Nighthawk AC2100 (yes, that's the actual model# stamped on the stupid thing; best i can see it is an R7200).
I have the following devices: Wired main computer; wireless to secondary computer

What's the best value motherboard to pair with one of these? I've got a microcenter within driving distance and my old tech NAS is falling through possibly, so I'm investigating a new tech NAS with a 5600G.
It definitely has a custom BIOS on it (from the documentation I've been reading). I don't think I have another working system. I'll poke around some more and see if it's worth the time making it work. Otherwise, I might swing completely modern with something like a 5600g as the basis.
Well, It's a custom "small" form factor thinkcentre that is more slim than small. So the motherboard is deep and runs front to back. There is a fixed drive cage in the 4U that JUST gets in the way. The thinkcentre board also has a custom horizontal fan mounted HS so I have to see if the...
Ok. Cracked open the old computer. It's a Lenovo ThinkCentre m57. Looks like an LGA 775 chipset. So I have 4 RAM slots (currently 2x1GB). A couple SATAs one PCI and one PCIe - X16. So, looks like I'm in business. Won't know which processor it is (they sold a bunch of different ones) until I...
This was going to be my music production computer back in the day. Had myself a PCI! audio interface, some rackmount preamps, analog mixer, ah...good memories.
Well....I ID'd the board. It's an ECS P6SEP-Me. For you youngins that's rocking a Socket 370 and has an ISA slot on it. Only IDE connectors on this bad boy. High end baby! ;)
I think I have a slightly newer mb/CPU/RAM combo I can toss in it, though. Wow! Blast from the past!
I wasn't really talking about the CPU or the software but the various I/O busses. If you go TOO old in your platform, then I would presume the various busses start to bottleneck the performance. I would also think a certain baseline of I/O buss would be needed to do something like running SSDs...
