    Terrible wi-fi speeds on new PC compared to iPhone

    I've just built a new PC, and am using a X570 AORUS ELITE WIFI motherboard with a Ryzen 3600X. I've just replaced my Verzion supplied router with the fantastic TP-Link AC2300 and am getting speeds of 300-400Mb/s every in my house on my iPhone, even when held right next to my PC, but my PC...

    R9 280X upgrade?

    Keen to upgrade my 280X, it makes a tonne of noise (sounds like an Apache trying to take off under my desk) and just doesn't provide the FPS needed for my 1440p screen. However, I have a Freesync monitor (which I bought because I had AMD, only to find the 280X won't do it... :( ). What's the...

    Upgrade GPU or Monitor? R9 280X or 1920×1080?

    I've been out the game of PC upgrades for a couple years (new house, starting a family, all that malarky) and I'm horribly out of date. I want to upgrade my PC, but I'm not sure the best cause of action. I've got an R9 280X that's treating me well (albeit really fricking noisy, even after...

    What's the current meta?

    What GPUs are best bang-for-buck at the moment? My friend has the rest of his new build sorted, but can't decide on a GPU. My reflex is to recommend the GTX 970, but it's a little high for his price range, and my PC knowledge is a bit outdated. What would you recommend for £250? And for £150...

    When both identical network cards are on performance is awful!

    I changed my PC to 5GHz only, and my partner's to 2.4GHz, but the issue still arose. Also, I noticed last night that my PC also stopped my Android phone from accessing the Wifi - the phone could see the network, and reported no faults, but I couldn't access any sites/online apps on it. Very...

    When both identical network cards are on performance is awful!

    I've got the TalkTalk Huawei HG635 VDSL 802.11ac router (aka "Super Router"). It reports ~28mb/s, but I see ~24mb/s on speedtest.net on my PC which is connected wirelessly using the aforementioned wireless card. When I switch on my partners computer (placed a couple feet from my PC) the...

    When both identical network cards are on performance is awful!

    No pop ups, and IP addresses don't conflict. This is doing my head in, and my girlfriend now complains that when my PC is using the internet her phone is getting awful connectivity (pages loading in minutes rather than seconds).

    When both identical network cards are on performance is awful!

    I have two PCs, each with an ASUS PCE-N53. The driver version installed appears higher than any available online (on ASUS' offical page or elsewhere). When one PC is on, I get ~24mb/s. When both are on they each drop to about 10-100kb/s with frequent intermittent dropouts. What can I do to...

    Spec me the cheapest, smallest, HTPC ever.

    I have a Freenas server running Emby, streaming throughout the house. The lack of options on the Playstation 4 Media Player has driven me insane, not allowing me to pic an audio track or to turn on subtitles (and in some cases not allowing me to seek forward or backward!), so I've turned my...

    ** LOWEST PRICE IN THE UK: INTEL 4790K RETAIL!! **

    The 4690K seemed pretty good value to me, and 20% cheaper is still a fair difference. This deal is insane though! If I hadn't bought a processor in the last month I'd be buying this today!

    Moving from BT to Plusnet/TalkTalk

    Talktalk doesn't shape, but expect surprise/hidden fees and a large delay (3+ days) before broadband works on your line.

    Getting Fibre on Monday. Super confused router/modem-wise

    You guys were right. The router is amazing. Service poor (no internet for the first three days; blamed on my PC (which wasn't even assembled, letalone connected to router). Customer service worse. AND included surprise charges for installation previously promised as free!

    TalkTalk Price Increase - Penalty Free Contract Exit

    Every ISP has good days and bad days. Every ISP is, on average, terrible. Things are just the facts of life. At least we're not all stuck on Comcast.

    Getting Fibre on Monday. Super confused router/modem-wise

    Heh, ironically Talktalk is the only ISP I've ever had even passable customer service from, and they were incredible! Sky - no internet for a month after promised date. Charged me >£60 for ringing their own customer support. BT - 1 year of the internet cutting out hourly (dead on the hour)...

    Getting Fibre on Monday. Super confused router/modem-wise

    I've been with Talktalk at two previous properties. The hub was indeed absolutely dire (hence my keenness to buy one now!), but the service I had at both properties was sublime. They've also been the (second) cheapest (on the comparison sites I've used; I'm too lazy to call a lot of different...
