As someone who works in for a cable mso, motorola/arris surfboard modems are great. I have the Arris SB6183 modem. it is 16x4 and works quite well. Right now most Cable MSO's only offer downstream bonding up to 16 channels at this time and it will most likely be a while before any MSO will...

How were you checking your speeds? Were you using speedtest.net, fast.com or your isp's speedtest or are you referring to the speeds reported by your wireless adapter. If you are seeing low speeds on the wireless adapter, it could be a range, or setting issue where the pc or the wireless...

Well said. It is better to have a separate modem and router. It is easier to troubleshoot and isolate potential problems and you can use better equipment for your lan such as better wireless connectivity and routing capabilities. Plus in the long run should the modem or router fail, you can...

I think most of the router manufactures expect the users to have some sore of prerequisite networking knowledge. This is especially true when it comes to routers meant for SOHO or Small Business configurations. But its good to hear you were able to get things sorted out.

Are the chip set drivers up to date? I have had that burn me in the past before. Did you install any of the Intel utilities for the rapid storage, etc. It sounds like the SSD may not be optimized to run on the laptop. That could be the cause. Another thing that could be going on is that the...

It is good that you were able to get the issue sorted out and you were able to identify the root cause.

You would be looking for Cable Certification tools such as the Flux Networks CableIQ . They are able to check to make sure the cabling is rated for the particular media. They are expensive though but if you do many network installs they are worth it.

You will need to set up a community string for your router if it supports SNMP in order for spice works to poll the equipment. The big question is what make and model router do you have?

I have used the monoprice cat6 cables and I have had no problems with them It works well and was reasonably priced at 118 dollars. I think if you are doing a house wiring, Your runs shouldn't be that long so using cat 6 should be fine. I think future proofing is a good Idea. It all depends on...

Diizzy, I aggree with you on that. If you're going to be streaming and service multiple machines on that network at the same time then you want more throughput so having a Gigabit network in the house should suffice for his needs.

I work for a local Cable Co in New York. IN most cases the connections are wired similar to that but they are near the outdoor electrical meter as the grounding wire has to be a certain length without too many bends. That is why I suggested to have the Cable Co come out and verify the install as...

If your connection is not grounded/bonded, I would recommend calling your Cable Co so that they can do that so that you know it is done according to their specific codes and local regulations.

If your coax connection is properly installed from your Cable Company, the cable line coming in from the tap should be bonded and grounded at the point of entry before it gets distributed to your cable equipment which should protect against a lightning strike. The connection should look like an...

As long as you have gigabit nic's in your servers and computers, adequate hardware such as high speed computers with drives then you should be fine using your current router with gigabit switch to achieve internal gigabit speeds.

For a small network, the design you sketched up should be fine as long as all hosts connected to the switch are gigabit. Since you said your internet connection is capped, I don't see the router with the fast ethernet connection being a bottleneck unless you are serving files outside of your...

I would consider trying a different make and model laptop to the wireless to see if there is a noticeable difference in the wifi speeds.

I am thinking it could be something to do with the 802.1x authentication issue with WPA2 enterprise affecting the windows clients. Do these computers connect fine with no encryption? As some users reported on HP forums It could be a windows driver or settings issues.

The cards I have are FX-795A-TDKC and the FX-795A-TDBC. So it looks like I will only be able to get 1 full block and the other would just be a simple gpu water block then.

I have 2 XFX 7950 Black edition Double Dissipation cards in my other gaming computer. I am thinking about water cooling them when I game and mine since they both run hot. How can I tell if the cards are Reference Design or not without tearing the heat sinks off?

Well It has been decided that newer aka the second 290 card is hosed. My computer keeps blue screening when trying to install the video card drivers. I removed the card completely from the system and it runs fine. Just waiting on the oem to give me the go ahead to rma it.

I switched the cards around. I put the card that I bought first into the first PCIE slot and the 2nd card in PCI E 2. The computer boots up now with hdmi video and it seems to be working fine. However, I do believe this video card is hosed because I am still experiencing random lock up's playing...

I'll check that out to see what if that is something that could be contributing to what I am experiencing. For me I don't think it is an issue in the bios as it was working fine before I added the water cooling blocks and overclocked them. But I am always up for suggestions. :p

Well it is a weird issue to say the least. I Have tried several re-installs of windows 8.1 and I am able to replicate the symptoms above. The cards will display correctly when using the default vga drivers aka non WQH Drivers from windows or AMD. As soon as I install the drivers It happens...

The issue is still going on. I have tried the latest AMD Beta Drivers (14.1) though the performance of the cards are good. I am still having difficulties with the display's viewing on the primary pciE adapter. Has anyone had issues where the 2nd video card in crossfire is the primary video card?

I was able to do some more testing. I found out that if I have the hdmi and dvi connected to the primary card both the television and Dvi monitor will work. In Catalyst Control Center it will only recognize the dvi monitor. As soon as I remove the dvi monitor from the video card the HDMI goes...

I checked the bios settings and nothing seems out of place in the bios. I am running the most recent version of the bios for the Crosshair Formula V Main board. I know the cards are in the correct pciE slots. It is just very weird as I have not seen something like this in the 13 years of...

It is not a multi monitor set up. Its connected to a 1080P Plasma TV as the primary display. It is as if the second card is acting as the primary. I tried a different monitor, different hdmi cables and I even tried a dvi monitor and the symptoms persist. When i get some spare time I am going to...

I have a really big conundrum. :confused: I have a computer which I have built that has been running fine with the following specs. AMD FX8350 CPU Overclocked to 5GHz Asus Crosshair V Foruma Motherboard with the latest Bios Revision 16 Gigabytes of G Skill Ripjaw Memory. 2 Samsung 840...

I am using a Supermicro Server with an Atom D525 processor with 4 gigs of ram and it runs my 50X5 connection fine with the built in gig nics.

I have one of those 2924xl. I was hearing a loud whining sound. I bought replacement fans. And it is still moving along. except 2 ports that are toast. The rest work well.

I know the nyc market is is 15/1. 20/2 30/5 and 50/5

TWC has a deal with Verizion Wireless which is a separate company than Verizion. That should have no adverse affect if your getting fios or not. But I hear through the grape vine that some people in the city who have had fios didn't like because of some service issue.

I enjoy their Ultimate Internet Service. I get 50 Down and 5 up with no issues. I live 60 miles north of the NYC and they do pretty well if your on a node that doesn't have any heavy hitters on the node. Like from what I hear happens in major markets like NYC, California etc. Those Heavy Hitters...

You could think the road could be considered a network of sorts and the driveways are trunks from the houses to the streets to the main roads. Could think of it as a very bad trunk link that will not work and will need to be fixed for traffic to be passed.

I am thinking people who own jeeps or other large SUV's May have a good time with those drive ways.

the 50x5 connection I Have is residential services. I do know they should have at least 15x2 or 20x2 in your area. I would say visit https://twcbc.com/West/Products/Internet/ Plug in the zip code where the school is located and see whats available there in your area and within the pricepoint...

I have the SMC-D3GN Docsis 3 Modem. Since the New York City Division of TWC started the 50x5 service. I think this SMC is rock solid and I had no issues with it at all. Good luck with investigation.

I have seen some buggy firmware some cable modems specifically the Motorola modems with IP Flood detection. Double check to see if you have a firewall in the modem provided by your ISP or if it is just bridged because I have seen ip flood detection cause the Docsis 3 modems cut transfer right in...

Here is my speeds. Docsis 3.0 Connection keeps me busy. :D
