    Powerful Router - $100 Range

    It seems to have worked quite while in this instance. The gaming computer is getting some pretty quick and somewhat consistent packet trips. It would definitely be more ideal if the user had the opportunity to connect directly though. I didn't quite think about that. The antenna cable is...

    Powerful Router - $100 Range

    Only depending on how you look at that; a good chunk of running my own business doesn't include billable work: Cut out time for networking events, advertising, billing and invoicing, free meetup estimates, emails, followups, driving time, equipment trips, etc... It adds up really quick :D. If...

    I also have no way of knowing how stable your connection is with a test like that. >CMD >ping google.com -t >then show results

    Correlation does not imply causation my friend.

    Powerful Router - $100 Range

    Fair enough, to each his own. Granted, my rates are only applied when I'm physically engaged with my project, not just letting a malware scanner run in the background as I watch movies.

    Powerful Router - $100 Range

    Yes, that's business, and I live very happily with it. I appreciate the information this forum offers and I was simply asking about a new-ish network standard I am unfamiliar with. I'm honestly becoming a bit offended by your criticisms. I am able to conduct business however I wish in order...

    Powerful Router - $100 Range

    I live in Denver, Colorado. I make NOWHERE near 200,000 a year; my income falls around 40-50k. The trade off of charging $100 an hour is not having a full time schedule, but I also get to deal with less clients than I would if i charged cheaper. I'm also not just consumer based, I work with...

    Powerful Router - $100 Range

    That router looks great, but unfortunately my client wont budge. Although the material budget is $100, my service fees bill out an additional $100/hr. That's not a bad option and may just work. Thank you!

    Powerful Router - $100 Range

    I'm working with a client that is using an ASUS RT-N53 router, in a 3 story, 4000 square foot home. The ASUS router has 2.5DB internal antennas and the signal gets really degraded as it starts cutting through levels of the house. General use of their internet includes: Online gaming, media...

    Life after A+...

    I guess all and all what I really want is job security, but see development as the most promising field. Networking definitely interests me, but I've heard it is really difficult to get your foot in the door.

    Life after A+...

    Networking is definitely a field that interests me; I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to start studying up on Network+. Beyond that, I haven't clue what I want to do. I don't have a college degree, just an A+ and 2 years of professional experience. Networking definitely sounds more flattering than...

    Life after A+...

    So I recently got my CompTIA A+ certificate and landed a $40,000 a year help desk position within a corporation. I had my eyes set on obtaining a Cyber Security position within the future, but am starting to re-evaluate such a career. What I didn't realize was that you have to attain a...

    127.0.0.1 Proxy Server Virus

    I was hoping it wouldn't come to that, but I believe you are correct. Time to break out the old install key. Thanks guys.

    127.0.0.1 Proxy Server Virus

    Here is where I am currently at... I was able to change the registry entries this virus affected and removed the proxy configuration. I was then having issues with DNS, which I fixed with a, "netsh int ip reset", "netsh winsock reset", and "ipconfig/flushdns". This resolved the DNS issue on...

    127.0.0.1 Proxy Server Virus

    I'm working on a clients computer that appears to have a proxy server virus. The proxy server is set for loopback (127.0.0.1) and it will revert all changes I make to it. I disconnected the HDD, threw it in my system, ran Avast, Malwarebytes, and ADWcleaner, with no success. What...

    SATA 3.0 Speeds

    There are 8 bits in a byte. SATA 3.0 boasts speeds of 6gbps. My calculations would tell me that "6gbps /8 = 750MB/s". This unfortunately doesn't seem to be the correct answer, as every source I have found on the internet is telling me "SATA 3.0 = 6gbps | 600MB/s". What am I missing here?

    Windows 10

    I downloaded 10125 today and I am pretty dissapointed with Windows 10. Here are my thoughts... - "The start menu is back!" I've been using StartMenu8 on Windows 8 since the moment I installed it. Win10 restoring the start menu i feel is hyped fanboyism for Windows as a brand; this option has...

    "Speedtest.net" Server Issue

    I'm working on a client's computer remotely, who is having issues with disconnects on "Outlook" and "Remote Server". I ran a ping test for an hour, to both servers, and came back without any packet loss or disconnects; nothing gave me any indication of potential reasons for disconnects. I...

    Wireless Mode Broadcasting Error?

    That definitely makes sense, thank you for the clarification! I thought I was taught otherwise, but I definitely could be wrong. With that said, what would be a reason to isolate network modes in the first place, or at least why an option is even available within your network server?

    Wireless Mode Broadcasting Error?

    I have an "ASUS RT-N53" and the program is "Inssider 4" My knowledge of network architecture is still a bit sloppy, so please correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't your router have to receive signal to determine what clients are connecting?
