Question What is max practical distance from wireless AP?

I would somewhat respectfully disagree that there isn't a theoretical answer. Theoretical could go with ideal conditions; no walls, flat land, and mounted on a short pole for example. Then add caveats that a wall clad in drywall reduces distance by 50' or plywood reduces by 50'.(numbers pulled...

Question What is max practical distance from wireless AP?

I've got an Aruba IAP-215 that I'm trying to find the max practical distance on. So far, I can't find what I want with bing. I found this datasheet: https://www.arubanetworks.com/assets/ds/DS_IAP215.pdf It claims 5 GHz 802.11ac and 2.4 GHz 802.11n. I'm debating if I need to move it to...

Question Upgrade from i3-12100F to what?

I'll look into that. I don't think I stated my video use very well :( My monitor is 4k. I play in windowed mode most of the time. So for example, my Roguetech window is 1920x1080. As an example of how 'bad' Roguetech is, while on a settings menu, it is tying up 17GB of 32GB ram. But to...

Question Upgrade from i3-12100F to what?

I can't say I've had a problem with the board but I'm also not pushing it since I know it isn't a performance board. From the first about five minutes of that video, the guy strikes me as dumb. His nitpick is throwing premium performance CPUs on a low end board and then it not performing like...

Question Upgrade from i3-12100F to what?

Roguetech is a memory hog as well as a core hog. I'm not upset with graphics performance in MW5. To me, less critical performance hit than 'issues' with Roguetech. I am playing windowed mode on a 4k monitor(2xxx res)

Question How many of you hate or dislike your CPU coz you were forced to get it due to reasons?

Somewhat this... but I won't say I hate it. I occasionally have a problem with MW5 and Roguetech but not enough to pay for an upgrade. But I'm also not convinced my issue isn't the graphics card: NVidia 1050ti.

Question I oscillate between 8700k ,6800k or 7820x

I did a i3-12100F($100) + ASRock B660M-HDV motherboard($100) + 32GB ram($90) for a bit under $300 for new to my door parts. I forget the cooler I bought but it was ~$20. Here is CPU I got: https://www.ebay.com/itm/325299861175 It is a 4/8 core system just like you are looking at and does...

Question Favorite Windows program to find/remove duplicate files

I just gave this a whirl and it was hugely helpful. LOTS of fat trimmed. I didn't try to delete 100k's of file at once but I was able to track directories and delete via file explorer.

Question Favorite Windows program to find/remove duplicate files

@TheELF Thank you for the reply. I'm not sure how Everything is any better than just plain Windows search (still looking) For those looking for it: https://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/ The problem is I've got at least 100k files if not much more to parse through. Movies was at least...

Question Favorite Windows program to find/remove duplicate files

Title basically is it. I'm creating some master backups before replicating them to a large file server(movies, music, and other files) Currently, the content is going to be spread out on three 4TB drives almost completely full. I'm 90% certain there are some duplicate files. I can hook the...

Question Graphics driver i5-650 windows 10

Out of curiosity, how did you come up with this number? I want to say I spent well under $400 USD for a 12100F, 32GB RAM, cooler, and ASRock B660M-HDV about 3 months ago. I reused a case, PSU, and SSDs.

Question Is one modem and two routers possible?

This is actually a home network with some software consulting work on the side ;) The fiber was my only choice for low latency, minimal/no weather impacted networking. I get too much rain/snow to reply upon Starlink, DirectTv, or similar satellite/wireless solutions. My neighbor continues to...

Question Is one modem and two routers possible?

I've run Tomato on two routers for years. Current router has been running it for ~6 years with no issues. Main reason I'm going from Tomato to PFsense is to rack mount all my hardware.
