    What wireless solution for distributing Virgin 500Mbps?

    After a bit of research, I purchased an asus rt-ax86u. Getting full 500Mbps plus on desktop via router near wireless and ~250Mbps in bedroom via 5GHZ, which will do for me for now. Hopefully when I have some Wifi 6 clients it will be even more consistent. Thanks for the suggestions.

    What wireless solution for distributing Virgin 500Mbps?

    Re wiring, unfortunately it is not an option. Trust me, I understand it is a compromised solution. I have actually tried an AV600 Powerline adaptor kit I had to create an ethernet backhaul between the main S4 acting as router (cabled to modem, so at full speed) and an S4 unit in the bedroom...

    What wireless solution for distributing Virgin 500Mbps?

    I recently bumped up Virgin speed to 500Mbps but struggling to see much of the benefit apart from at the router in the lounge via ethernet.

    Post Mod-2 bike recommendation

    What changed around 2011? If it was the introduction of ABS I feel that it might not be a terrible thing to have. I had a ride on a 2013 CBR600F this afternoon. I think it's possible a good deal may be there to be had on a relatively recent second hand model with the 650F out in a couple months.

    Second hand is fine and by far the most likely option unless there is a particularly good reason otherwise. Looking up to c5k, with a budget for insurance around 1k.

    Post Mod-2 bike recommendation

    I apologise for how often I suspect this topic comes up. Nonetheless, I thankfully passed my Mod 2 this morning, so having put it off until that was out the way it's all stations go on purchasing a bike in time for summer. I'd like to go down the sports/sports-tourer route. I passed on an XJ6...

    Sending a monitor via a courier, insured?

    Thanks. It looks pretty black and white from the T&C though. I think I've found Interlink which work out cheaper than parcelforce and specifically exclude monitors above 26", so at 24" I should be fine.

    Sending a monitor via a courier, insured?

    Sorry to bring this thread back from the dead, but I'm looking to send a monitor and parcel force suggested above seem to exclude them in there T&C. Has anyone used any courier successfully (with insurance) for this purpose?

    Any reason not to go for the Asus 4gb vs. the Gigabyte 2gb card given its only £10 more?

    Not dead set at all. The cooler was suggested on an earlier spec. I was just wondering if it was really necessary.

    Thanks. Do these 670 cards fit into the Prodigy case. Description infers dimensions up to 240mm, but unless I'm reading it wrong the cards are 270mm?

    Monitors for tripple setup?

    What monitors would people recommend for a tripple setup. I'm thinking 23/24" each. I reckon a thin bezel is a priority, but otherwise fairly clueless as to what differentiates one from another. Don't want a bit of tat, but giving I could be buying 3 I want a bit of restraint.
