    Virgin Superhub 3 upgrade with Router options?

    I would go the Asus RT-n66u second hand. Wireless performance is on par with ubiquiti stuff (from what I've read) and matched a Ruckus AP I was testing. Benefit is that you can install the Merlin firmware, and thereafter, install Diversion, which gives you network wide ad-block. My only...

    How many Raspberry Pis do you have and what are they used for?

    You have offsite backup?! do you also have UPS at home? I'm still backing up on different pc's around the house. Maybe I need to rethink :)

    How many Raspberry Pis do you have and what are they used for?

    There are so many posts about pi-hole. I was looking into that, but didn't fancy yet another plug on my 16 gang extension. My router supports entware, and I found AB-Solution (now called Diversion) which does the same thing. It updates itself, and I've not had to mess about with it since.

    PfSense build

    I'm toying with the idea of en edgerouter-x or pfsense. I'm on virginmedia 100Mbps and my current asus rt-66n now struggles with QoS, so I've had to turn it off. Not good for FPS gaming. The ER-x can realisticly only do QoS at 100Mbps, also, it has one less lan port (which I would like) and...

    PfSense build

    How do you find the QoS on pfsense? I have an asus router with virginmedia 100Mbps and now cannot use QoS without it struggling. I was thinking of putting a better router between the superhub and the asus router - making the router function as a switch/ap.

    What memory can I get? Compaq 8200 4 DIMM slots

    Thanks. I need to run a vm and need more RAM, so I was thinking to step up from 4 GB to 8 GB. Unless I can put in 4+4 GB on the two empty slots. But then, I would have a config of 2+2+4+4. Not sure it that is doable. Currently running Windows 10. Would there be any difference usng one slot...

    Logitech MX500 MX518 upgrade necessary?

    I also recently (about 2 weeks ago) opened up my mx500 to clean out the scroll wheel. Loads of gunk and fir, did a thorough clean with q-tips etc. and the mouse is working like new again. I have bought the steelseries rival 100 though and waiting delivery. It was an impulse buy because I saw...

    Logitech MX500 MX518 upgrade necessary?

    Thank you for your replies. My mx500 is still working perfectly. I cleaned the scroller a while ago and everything works as new again (even the buttons). The reason I was contemplating a switch was that I cannot move my cross hair as smoothly as this guy...

    Logitech MX500 MX518 upgrade necessary?

    So, I've been using my Logitech MX500 for over 8 years now. I've started to play a lot of FPS games and wondered if this mouse is still up to the job. I can only find generic drivers on windows 10. Therefore, question is, would an upgrade make my game better? are the new mice sensors...

    Tyre Blowout, need advice..

    Sorry, coming to this thread late. If you had a slow leak, and then subsequent blowout, then it could be that you had a screw/nail in the tyre causing a slow leak. As you kept on driving, the screw compromised and cut the wires inside the tyre. This deformed the tyre and you had an an...

    Scared stiff of flying!!!

    I wonder how many design oversights we will find when 3d printing technology becomes ubiquitous to replace complicated heavy components in vehicles. Did anyone hear of metal fatigue causing abrupt plane crashes in the early days?

    Anyone had Porcelain Veneers

    Insurance or no insurance - the quality of treatment has more to do with the experience and skill of the dentist than the location (assuming tools etc. are up-to-date).

    Anyone had Porcelain Veneers

    That is not strictly correct. You normally get what you pay for - but there are no guarantees even in the UK. There are plenty of dentists here who can be just as ineffectual at their jobs.

    Anyone had a childhood girlfriend who you never got over?
