PPPoE was working earlier in the day and seems to have stopped working after they supplied a static IP this afternoon. When I enter my PPPoE credentials the router goes into a endless loop of connecting OK before terminating("hangup") - assumed it was something I'd done(?).

Mikrotik router ... first time I've attempted to configure a static IP, also have PPPoE auth details.

Have been given public IP but no netmask or gateway ... by Jurassic Fibre. Support has closed for the day so anyone know what netmask or gateway I should be using?

I've sold it ... the Beelink is a far, far, better expandable design at almost half the cost .., :rolleyes:

Swap is the last gasp of an overloaded computer, but believe whatever fantasy you want. :rolleyes:

It's an SSD, SSDs life drops the more you use it ... I'm not an Apple cult member and regularly using swap in a non-expandable design is a clear design flaw.

My minimum setup uses 12-13GB of RAM ... it certainly wouldn't avoid swap usage if it was an 8GB machine.

It arrived today and initial thoughts are - excellent low power consumption(between 15-22watts, my Beelink 5500u is between 40-55 watts), 16GB should really be the minimum memory offered by Apple, I don't like the soldered SSD but apparently it should last for ages under typical use. My Windows...

Let's hope it never breaks, Apple repairs cost an arm and a leg.:confused:

Ah well, I absolutely hate noisy PCs so all the ones I have and build run with almost zero noise ... but it's good to know I won't hear the Mini's fan.

Any issues with only 16GB RAM - which is pretty small by modern PC standards.

Just bought a used Mac Mini M1 16GB 512SSD(in good cosmetic condition) with 1 year warranty for £559 delivered - it seemed cheap so was a bit of an impulse buy(have owned Macs in the past, currently use Windows 11). So tell me what sort of limitations the machine has in use (small memory?) and...

So I'm currently using a ASRock A750 Challenger D 8GB OC which I got today, going to give it a 14 day test to see how stable it is and whether I keep it or return it. First impressions are that the fans don't spin unless I stress test it so it's silent under normal productivity use(I never play...

This guy overclocks the ASRock A750 OC to 2600MHz(without issues apparently) -

So how do arc cards compare to nvidia now intel have had a while to improve drivers?

Any specific features you want in the router?

Obviously my 5G connection has good speeds, but my 4G router experience is that download speeds appear to vary a lot depending on the time of day while upload never varied that much. That's all I can say really.

My Three 5G connection has given a very consistent 350Mb down/90Mb up over the few months I've had it(can hit 500Mb down sometimes). If your download speed varies significantly during the day, but upload speeds stay roughly the same I'd guess it may be congestion. I live in a small town where...

Three sends notifications via SMS, typically billing but I'd also guess warnings of network maintenance/disruption.

Do you have SMS working?
